The San Jose Sharks have a chance at a title.

The winless team is not looking great for a Stanley Cup bid, but they are the favorites in an NHL fantasy football league. As Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith mentioned on Spittin’ Chiclets yesterday, there is an eight-team fantasy football league where each team is operated by the players of the NHL team.

Other teams taking part are the New York Rangers, Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, Montreal Canadiens, and the Vegas Golden Knights. Celebrini mentioned that Ryan Reaves and Alex Nedeljkovic are the most active GMs on the San Jose Sharks’ team, which is doing well.

On the podcast, Celebrini and Smith also shared they had a mystery pooper leaving them a treat in their hotel room.
