Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Closing out the week on the fastest hour in hockey. It's the Real Kipper and Bourne Show.
Chapter 2: What insights did Nick Kypreos share from the draft combine in Buffalo?
Nick Kiprios back in from the Combine in Buffalo. Justin Bourne producing. In the spot of Sammy McKee is Daniele Franceschi. And Brandon Brown in for Derek Brandeo. And Jake the Snake Schultz. There we go. All right. The team is still very much intact. We are intact.
Chapter 3: How did Carolina's Game 2 victory impact the Stanley Cup Final?
We are also live on Sportsnet 590, The Fan, Sportsnet 360, and Sportsnet Plus, 3 to 4 p.m. as we close out. The Stanley Cup playoffs, still a lot of meat on the bone there. We are live on every episode of The Real Kipper and Born, wherever you get your podcasts, such as Spotify, Apple, and, of course, YouTube, where we love the chats, as always, strong chats, and appreciate the thumbs up.
And what we'll be doing without Sam, some text lines too. If you want to text in 590-590, let Daniele know about them and he'll pass them on to us. Yeah. Maybe, maybe not.
But we got lots of content.
Chapter 4: What were Doug MacLean's thoughts on John Tortorella's challenge decision?
We got clips. We got Chica.
We're jam-packed. We are jam-packed. We got so much out there. Of course, game two. Let us not forget. It's Friday. Off the Rails Friday. Doug McClain.
Chapter 5: Why did Dylan Larkin request a trade and what does it mean for the Red Wings?
He'll have plenty to say about game two last night in Carolina. He'll have plenty to say about Matthew Nyes getting traded to Montreal only to find out that the deal didn't get through. Dylan Larkin, I want to get your thoughts on that. But before we go any further, tell us about your little day trip to Buffalo.
Yeah. It was cool. I mean, I don't know if you had done any time at the Combine over your years of doing this stuff. It's a fairly newer event, right?
It's a very newer event.
The one thing that stood out to me, and I wrote a little bit about it today, is it's really good to get the kids in one place, and they get to know each other, and they shake a bunch of hands, and there's some humanity to it.
Chapter 6: What details emerged about the failed Matthew Knies trade with Montreal?
where it's not just like, oh, this kid's wingspan is this, and he does this many pull-ups. I feel like teams actually get to know the kids a little bit. That would feel productive to me if I were running a team.
So you got a chance to talk to a lot of these top prospects?
Yeah, yeah. So Sportsnet, we had a room and we spoke to, I think they got 30 guys coming through. We spoke to a dozen of them yesterday. Gavin McKenna came through, Caleb Malhotra. And yeah, we all got to ask some questions and feel them out.
So I would imagine it would be a very wide range at 18 from...
Chapter 7: How does the Leafs' head coach search reflect their current challenges?
This guy's very mature. This guy's very sophisticated. And this guy's a brick.
Honestly, you do kind of forget, like, at 18. They don't know a ton. They've been hockey players their whole life. That's their world. So what struck me is the difference between the European and the North American guys. European guys are like, oh, yeah, I'm from Lithuania, so I moved out at 12 and played in Switzerland. I speak four languages, you know, like all this sort of stuff.
Chapter 8: What implications does the trade deadline have for NHL teams this offseason?
And then they go to, you know, so-and-so from upstate Minnesota. You shouldn't be a hockey player. You should be like a spy. Some of our North American boys are just, yeah, they're good at hockey. Sure hope.
McKenna, did you catch up to McKenna?
Yeah, and it's really neat because there's, you know, Ailish Forfar's in there and she does a lot of the, you know, get to know the personality questions. And then Bukala comes in on the back end of that right when he's getting comfy and he's like, that weekend against Minnesota State, you know, whoever it was, Michigan State, we're in January. What happened on the back check in the second period?
The kid's like, oh.
Oh, really?
We're doing that, are we?
And McKenna, is he like... Is there some meat on the bone or can he float in a test tube?
No, no. He's, I would say he's wiry. Yeah. He's wiry. But yeah, there's a lot of these guys. It's like, man, there's a, there's frames to build on for sure. But yeah, they're just big. Like a lot of kids, six, three, six, four, six, three big kids in the first round.
All right. We're going to get to Doug McClain momentarily. But in the meantime, I know for me, game two was a little touch and go based on what I saw in game one. Last night, Vegas gets off to the 2-0 start and Carolina fights back. Did Vegas let him off the hook?
