On a recent episode of the Barstool Sports podcast “Spittin' Chiclets,” Bissonnette, who is also an NHL analyst for TNT, addressed these critics.
“Maybe I should have sat down and waited for my salad… [but] When I saw those same damn eyes I saw in those videos of hooligans assaulting people with golf clubs, I had no choice but to follow my instincts. ” Bissonnette said.
