Chapter 2: What went wrong for the Vegas Golden Knights in the finals?
360. And YouTube, where we always appreciate a thumbs up. This hour of Real Kipper and Bourne brought to you by Bet365. The Hurricanes wrap up. Stanley Cup playoffs with a record of 16-3, not since, what, 1987, Edmonton Oilers, where they went 16-2. The one thing that kind of disappointed me was just how, unfortunately, quiet...
Vegas went down in this series when you really thought you were watching kind of two heavyweights kind of slug it out a little bit. I think maybe that had to do with just one team having that energy and a focus that was never, you know, offline. and one that was barely hanging on at the end in Vegas, JB.
Yeah, I mean, I'm curious why you think that was.
Chapter 3: What injuries affected the Golden Knights during the playoffs?
And I answer that with complete no motive. I am curious. You know, I will say, though, like I text McKee at some point, Where I kind of thought Vegas was just going to go away, and they did. Like, they just didn't look like they had it. I don't know.
Is there... For me, and I know that it was talked about a little bit by Rod Brendamore and even the guys on our cast last night on Hockey Night in Canada, where just some key injuries, I think, really helped sink them. Yeah. And if you went from game one... Carolina in the first round against Ottawa. The same lineup all the way through for the exception of Freddie Anderson.
That never happens, guys. I'm telling you, it never happens.
And do you know why it happened? Because they handled their business, right? They eliminated teams. They didn't let them hang around. They didn't play a fifth game or a sixth game. They just beat teams and they got their rest. I think that was a big part of this, Kip, because for years it was like, could you play this Brindamore ā skate him into the ground thing for four rounds?
And the answer is that you can if you finish him off early enough.
And that's exactly what happened. The first eight games, elimination, not needing to pound the body. And so two key losses was they lose McNabb in the first five minutes, and he's unavailable. He comes back, of course, but come on, he took a slap shot, a 90-mile-an-hour frigging slap shot to the face. And the other one was Carlson the other night.
You lose William Carlson, and now you've lost your third line. with Stone, right?

Chapter 4: How did the Hurricanes' roster construction contribute to their victory?
Yep. And everybody now falls back out of place. Now you've got a tough decision on Marner. What do you do? Leave him on his own line? Yeah, that's where he was thriving. That's where he was making hay, was on his own line. And now you put him up with Jack Eichel. And Jack Eichel, nothing, guys, nothing. I mean, he could not find a way to shoot it in the net.
And now you have, you're going into game six and you have no lines going. Yeah. And you had nothing last night. Just ground him to dust. McKee, were you, I know you're probably pretty pleased. Is this right back to, like, this is like your Stanley Cup, Marner, not winning the Conn Smythe or the Stanley Cup.
Yeah, you're right. You have judged correctly, my friend.
Which is really sad. Yeah. Really sad. That's what you're down to.
Chapter 5: What is John Tortorella's future with the Golden Knights?
Well, I mean, yeah. I don't know what you want me to say here. I know. It's pathetic. Well, yeah. Yeah, it's a little pathetic. Well, I would say it would be pathetic if it wasn't. Marner is the best player on earth wasn't shoved down Leaf fans' face for two months before this, right?
Like, the reason all of us are so bent out of shape about this is because every article, every podcast, everything from outside of the market, not even just us talking about it, multiple think pieces, every broadcast built around how this, and then, you know, when we have to eat it, Kipper, when we all collectively as a fan base has to eat it,
When it swings back the other way and something happens that we all recognize very well, we get pretty excited about it. Yeah, and I don't think that's pathetic. I think that's being a sports fan. That's just what it is. It's give and take. It's like Wyndham Clark wearing a Jack Hughes jersey at the rink hole and then eating it for the rest of the weekend from drunken Canadians.
It's just kind of the way it goes. That's sports fandom.
Chapter 6: How did Rod Brind'Amour's coaching impact the Hurricanes?
I don't know, like... I think pathetic's a strong word. I do. Yeah, there's a, you know, if you're online today and if you're Leafs fans talking about this, that is pretty much the first thing that comes up is that there was a great fear that that was going to happen. And they dodged a bullet. They didn't even show him post-game.
Like, they didn't, like, all every broadcast was built around him, and we got one shot of him postgame. You know, like, there's not, where's the Greg Wyshynski think piece today about how he's, like, we were the problem. It's just the coverage has disappeared. It's like he never existed. But 24 hours, 48 hours ago, that's all anyone talked about. That's all anyone cared about.
And now it's like, oh, you guys are so mean.
You guys are so mean. It is unbelievable. Too bad. Just how, like, is it more now less?
Chapter 7: What are the implications of the Calder Cup Final for the Marlies?
See, at least Sam's, like, completely honest with his feelings. The majority of them, I think, just throw it out there just to get the click baits. No?
Is it just? You mean now?
Yeah, now. Like, all the outside and, you know, you watch. The outside's not talking about it. No one else is talking. I'm quiet. I think it's everywhere. No, it's not. It's Toronto. It's Toronto that's having fun. It's all driven out of Toronto? I don't know, like if you go on Instagram and you see these all, you know, all these little, what do you call them? Memes? Memes.
Chapter 8: What are the next steps for the Golden Knights after the Cup loss?
I find that, I thought Bunk did a great job today. He encapsulated why it bothered him, that a lot of it was, it became about the Toronto market having some involvement in the failure here, and so I think people felt personally tied to the outcome here, right? That it was their fault that he wasn't here.
And so when they don't have to wear him winning the cup immediately, I think fans feel more connection to it than just observers. It's not even outside writers. The general manager of the Vegas Golden Knights in between series went on a rival radio station and told us all to get over it. Like, it's not even just the writers. Like, everybody bought into it. Everybody talked about Toronto.
So, like... You can think it's pathetic, but we've eaten it for so much of it. It's like, yeah, we're going to give it back. That's how it works. Right. That seems fair to me. So we're supposed to just sit here and be like, oh, good for him. Yep, he had a good run.
And he had a brilliant run. Whatever it is, it is what it is. And it's just, at the end of the day, it really is like you can sit there and take your emotions and they run much deeper on him than perhaps anyone else. But he's just another guy that... played here, and left, and just moved on. Totally. But it's not him and this market.
And the one thing is, I don't think anyone is blaming him for Vegas not winning the Cup. You know, I don't think that's necessarily what this is about, where in the past, maybe it was he was getting blamed for them not advancing at times. This, to me, is just they're happy they didn't have to see it. Their ex-girlfriend have too much success. You know, I feel for Marner.
You know, like, I think, though... The ecosystem around him is what I don't like. I have no problem with the guy himself.
But the ecosystem around Marner is... Well, he's not... There's a lot of people that just hate him, the person.
Yeah, I don't share that.
No, no, but there is. They don't like the way he misspoke on a few occasions or mixed up his words or, you know, certainly the... And this is upon him now. Nobody else asked him about dark times. He volunteered that word. And that thing got played up and people want to shove it back in his face today. Where are you on your dark times? Let's hear it. BS on the dark times. I mean...
