It is safe to say that Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney is not happy about all of the inaccurate reports coming out about Bruins and Jeremy Swayman, he targeted and insulted the biggest hockey podcast, Spittin' Chiclets.
Although he was unhappy with all of the reports and chose to focus on the Chiclets crew, he strongly pushed back against what he called several «inaccurate» reports about the team's ongoing negotiations.
During a podcast episode earlier this month, former NHL defenseman and «Spittin' Chiclets» host Ryan Whitney said - referencing a «reliable» source - that the Bruins offered Swayman a four-year deal worth $6.2 million per year, adding that Boston had not «contacted or returned Swayman's calls in three weeks».
Sweeney's response
«I think it's bull-[expletive] that somebody says I wouldn't return a call for three weeks,» Swayman said. «There. That's inaccurate. Was it said? Was it written? I will tell you, I don't listen to podcasts. My son loves [Paul Bissonnette], thinks he's fabulous. I think he's a great entertainer.
«But at the end of the day, they're inaccurate. And that's OK because that's all part of the business nowadays. It's OK if you turn around and say it's your opinion, your belief, but don't report it as fact. That's all. That's all I'm asking.»

Most notably he called out the podcast calling them the «Spitting Up On Yourself» podcast and said reports from them were «bullshit» that he wasn't calling Swayman or his camp.
Shots absolutely fired...
