"It's been a big couple of years for "Biz Nasty." Earlier this week, it was announced that ex-NHL player/ Arizona Coyotes broadcaster Paul Bissonnette would receive a multi-year contract extension to keep him on the same in-game panel as the likes of Wayne Gretzky. The news of the extension was first announced by Front Office Sports. Alongside his continued work on the pregame and intermission panel for TNT, Paul Bissonnette will also earn some time as an in-game commentator."
"Outside of Bissonnette's work for the TNT panel, he's been a part of the Spittin' Chiclets podcast - operated by BarStool Sports - since 2017, contributing to its rise as one of the biggest hockey podcasts at this stage in time. The success that Bissonnette and his Spittin' Chiclets co-hosts - Ryan Whitney and ex-Florida Panther Keith Yandle - experienced since 2017 was rewarded recently by Netflix, which recently brought the podcast onto the streaming service."
"It's also worth noting Paul Bissonnette's love for a good fight ... both on and off the ice. Not only did Bissonnette log almost 350 penalty minutes throughout his career, but he's also drawn the ire of several NHL icons during his time with TNT thus far. Whether it's chirping Brad Marchand or wrestling Buoy, the Seattle Kraken's mascot, Paul Bissonnette successfully transferred his knack for fighting towards his work for TNT in several notable ways."
Paul Bissonnette received a multi-year TNT contract extension to remain on the network's pregame and intermission panel and to serve as an in-game commentator. He made his TNT in-game commentary debut during the Buffalo Sabres–Philadelphia Flyers broadcast and experienced a debut characterized as both fun and painful. Bissonnette has co-hosted the Spittin' Chiclets podcast since 2017, helping it grow into a leading hockey podcast that was recently added to Netflix. He logged nearly 350 penalty minutes in his playing career and brings a combative, on- and off-ice persona to broadcasting, including notable confrontations with NHL figures and a mascot. The next TNT NHL broadcast is scheduled for January 19.
