Timo Meier, being hit against the boards: Please! Have mercy! I have a family! A wife and kids... A dog...
Nate Bastian: Literally none of that is true, Timo.
Timo: Okay, but I'm sexy! That's gotta count for something, right?

Takeaways from the Nico Hischier Spittin Chiclets Interview:
“Not a big country guy” - Nico Hischier (wonder how this squares with Jack being a big country guy)
Nico always looks like he just woke up.
Kinda love that Nico called Luca his “idol” even now when Nico’s the captain of one of the best teams in the NHL. Wholesome.
“You think I’m small” - Nico Hischier (when the podcast men asked what happened to him while talking about how tall Nico’s mother is)
Nico’s a Liverpool fan. Favorite player growing up was Steven Gerrard.
He speaks English, Swiss German, and French (can get by a little with Italian - ordering food and beer etc)
Nico talked to Timo about Halifax before he ended up going there.
“He’s Jack, I like that about him….he’s just Jack. “ - Nico Hischier.
In their rookie year, Nico and Bratter had apartments in the same building.
Nico says “obviously” or “obvious” so many times during this interview.
“Everything is bigger here” - Nico on North America
“He’s been whatever we needed” - Nico on the Vitek
Nico trying to say “rivalry” 🥺
Nico goes to his siblings when he needs to get things off his chest or talk things out
Still talks to Greener from time to time and catches up with him or goes to him for questions.
Confirmed that Nico’s triangle tattoo on his lower leg is a matching tattoo with Luca.
When asked who is the jester is in the locker? Not Woody, he’s quiet… “Bastian and McLeod are definitely a funny couple together” (Nico ships it) “If you’re around them it’s always a good time”
Nico goes to Zurich in August to skate/train with Siegs
Nico used to ski, now snowboards
Nico doesn’t really snap in the locker room, but it has happened during the losing times of years past
Said he tries to ignore the noise especially about the first overall expectations because it’s big shoes to fill.
