Ryan Whitney and Paul Bissonnette of the Spittin Chiclets podcast have found themselves in the crosshairs of Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney.

If you remember correctly, Whitney came out and reported that things between the Bruins and goaltender Jeremy Swayman were really bad. He claimed that the team was only offering Swayman $6.2 million per year over four years. Furthermore, he made the claim that Sweeney wasn't even returning any of Swayman's calls.

This reporting was questionable at best and as it turns out, Sweeney was livid with what was said. When asked about it during a press conference on Wednesday, Sweeney claimed it was "bullsh*t." He also said that he would appreciate if the Spittin Chiclets guys would just be honest and say that their commentary is simply opinion-based and not fact-based.

Bissonnette had a sense of humor about all of this and didn't seem to really care that much. Although he did note that he had nothing to do with the reporting. Instead, it was Whitney who brought forth the alleged information.

"I can't believe Don Sweeney pulls this shit the same week the BIG DEAL SELECTS are chasing our first ever
@ChicletsCup
Championship in London, Ontario. What a fucking distraction. Back on Canadian soil trying to bring home a title and I'm getting called out because Swayman wants blood after last year's arbitration hearings. I DIDN'T EVEN REPORT IT."
