This hour of Real Kipper and Bourne brought to you by Bet365. The news keeps coming in. Today, the Edmonton Oilers officially welcome back Mike Babcock.

0

63.103 - 65.205 Justin Bourne

Yeah. Yeah, they did.

0

66.451 - 68.575 Nick Kypreos

What decade are we in?

0

69.276 - 75.686 Justin Bourne

Hey, Mike's as old as anyone else in the NHL. All these coaches are in his realm. He's back.

75.707 - 94.674 Nick Kypreos

Back in our day. There's a... I don't know who the actor is. If he's an actor, he's just a fan. But there's an impersonator right now running around on... Instagram. Instagram. TikTok. TikTok. And he does Mike Babcock. And it's pretty good.

94.934 - 96.817 Justin Bourne

Yeah, Mike is. Have you seen it? I have.

97.619 - 99.482 Sam McKee

Very impressionable. You can do a good impression of him.

99.502 - 106.313 Justin Bourne

Among the more parodiable, like Donald Trump, Obama levels of, you know, a very distinct cadence.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Mike Babcock's return to coaching?

183.874 - 194.254 Justin Bourne

He doesn't see why he should have to apologize. Mike seems to be a narcissist in a way that it's like, you know, he called himself Mike Babcock today. He went third party.

0

194.454 - 199.34 Nick Kypreos

He did. He hasn't coached in the NHL in seven years, and it's like, we're going to do the Mike Babcock way.

0

199.7 - 201.803 Justin Bourne

He's the same guy is the only point I'm making.

0

202.664 - 204.165 Sam McKee

You've got to be 100% in on Mike Babcock.

0

205.267 - 206.728 Nick Kypreos

That's not the way we do it on the prairies.

207.249 - 220.593 Sam McKee

That's Yogi Bear. I will say, like, I didn't know that this was happening today. I found out when Elliott Friedman or somebody sent out a tweet. I was like, oh, my God. You said yesterday it was him and DJ Smith. Yeah, but they announced it this morning. I didn't know that they were going to introduce it.

220.613 - 224.419 Sam McKee

Like, the Leafs, I guess, waited a week until they're having their introductory practice conference.

224.439 - 225.981 Nick Kypreos

Oh, they had to rip the band-aid off, man.

226.021 - 226.802 Sam McKee

I think it's Thursday.

Chapter 3: What details surround Šimon Nemec's trade to the Calgary Flames?

2015.461 - 2015.981 Justin Bourne

Good for him.

0

2016.001 - 2037.807 Nick Kypreos

Okay, let's take a quick break. We'll return more on the Ottawa Senators. If you heard our show yesterday, yeah, we had a few things to say about Brady Kachuk and the Ottawa Senators. I got more. I got more, too. If you thought I was... A little hot under the collar. I got more after the break. Let's go. I'm still a little ticked off for Ottawa Senator fans.

0

2038.228 - 2052.591 AJ Pierzynski

And you're going to hear it when we return to Real Kipper and Bourne.

0

2058.19 - 2067.84 Nick Kypreos

Welcome back in studio. Racing against the clock as we jam-pack as much information in our one hour here on The Real Kipper and Bourne Show. All right, Sammy, let her rip.

0

2067.98 - 2082.414 Sam McKee

Time now for the precision headlines brought to you by the 2026 Acura MDX. Drive like you mean it. And in those headlines, one Brady Kachuk addressed the media today in Sunrise.

2084.937 - 2096.739 Nick Kypreos

Did we get any answers? Did you really feel like... You can kind of put together or put to bed like how we arrived here.

2097.059 - 2104.349 Justin Bourne

Should we do the clip from his podcast, Sam? Yes. That might give us some help. Let's just do that.

2106.191 - 2124.129 Sam McKee

Let's do Kachuk clip two, please, Derek, on him getting traded to Flora. Clip two on his podcast. Oh, my bad. Let's do a quick one. Quick one. My bad. Got to mix it up.

2124.149 - 2148.002 Brady Kachuk

I mean, I've always said this, that, you know, I'm taking you, like, if we weren't even brothers, you know, Florida's always been the toughest games, you know, these last bunch of years playing against just the way you guys play, just, and then the winning background kind of just shows it's all about winning and, you know,

Chapter 4: How does the trade market look for high-end NHL talent?

2712.097 - 2728.451 Justin Bourne

I don't know, 18-month span for the two countries' hockey teams and the split happened. I don't think it's forever, but I think that this generation of stars, there's going to be some persisting divide there. Nathan, man, just next time.

2728.611 - 2730.834 Sam McKee

What the hell? You know that big thing with the mesh?

0

2731.074 - 2734.779 Nick Kypreos

Right in there. By the way, that just – He's done it a few times, Sammy. You don't have to worry about it.

0

2734.879 - 2736.141 Sam McKee

He'll do it again.

0

2736.201 - 2756.376 Nick Kypreos

He did it against Finland. He'll score again. Don't worry. Matthew Nyes, we mentioned earlier in the show with David. Yeah. If the Leafs can get the fourth pick overall out of Chicago for Nyes and you end up with McKenna and a stud defenseman in the first five picks – Do it.

2756.796 - 2764.887 Justin Bourne

Torn on this. Here's what I'll say. I would do it for Willie Nylander, not Matthew Nye. Because that way you can have this young core.

2764.927 - 2777.859 Nick Kypreos

They don't want Willie. They want the big heavy guy to insulate Bedard. They take Willie. Now you need a big heavy guy to insulate two guys. They don't want Willie.

2778 - 2793.775 Justin Bourne

I get that they don't want Willie, but Nize is a part of this couple of young guys that have a chance to build something around together. You take him out of it, it's the Brandon Hagel trade. Let's get rid of Hagel. He doesn't suit our timeline because he's 25. What?

2794.416 - 2798.86 Nick Kypreos

Nize doesn't have Hagel's jam. He's not Hagel. I agree. I got to tell you.

Chapter 5: How are teams preparing for the upcoming NHL draft?

2918.009 - 2920.492 Sam McKee

It's funny. But if they're good, do you think Matthews would resign?

0

2921.633 - 2922.214 Nick Kypreos

What does good mean?

0

2922.394 - 2926.576 Sam McKee

Like if they're in the playoffs, make the second round. It looks good.

0

2926.916 - 2928.779 Nick Kypreos

Yeah. And it's trending in the right direction.

0

2929.72 - 2932.784 Sam McKee

Yeah. Gets to play with McKenna. McKenna gets 70 points. Lighten it up with him.

2932.824 - 2933.084 Nick Kypreos

Yeah.

2934.546 - 2936.148 Sam McKee

I just said 70 because you made me say that.

2936.168 - 2941.975 Nick Kypreos

Just get out of the month of October and not six points out of a playoff spot.

2941.995 - 2944.178 Sam McKee

Hiller's running the best power play in the league. Radish.
