13 May 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What are Gord Stellick's thoughts on Craig Berube's dismissal?

6.562 - 10.515 Nick Kypreos

The real Kipper and Bourne show. Justin Bourne.

0

11.519 - 11.679 Gord Stellick

Gone.

0

12.321 - 13.666 Nick Kypreos

For Gord Stelic.

0

13.947 - 18.141 Gord Stellick

Straight up. I hope you like the deal. Nothing against Justin.

0

19.201 - 21.565 Nick Kypreos

I'm calling for Freddie Charles in the deal.

Chapter 2: What insights does Brian Lawton provide on Bruce Cassidy's potential fit with the Oilers?

22.546 - 26.432 Nick Kypreos

You know who Freddie Charles is? No. Future considerations.

0

26.452 - 29.096 Gord Stellick

Oh, okay, okay. We called it something else.

0

29.117 - 33.423 Nick Kypreos

It took me about two years in pro hockey to understand.

0

33.644 - 37.309 Gord Stellick

Freddie Charles, future could be, yeah.

0

Chapter 3: How do star players influence coaching decisions in the NHL?

37.329 - 39.673 Gord Stellick

I haven't heard that either. Yeah, it means nothing.

0

39.653 - 56.717 Nick Kypreos

We are live on Sportsnet, Sportsnet 650 in Vancouver, 960 in Calgary, and streaming always on Sportsnet+. If you can't catch our show, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, where we always appreciate the chat. And I'm asking them for a big thumbs up for you, Gord Stelik, for joining us.

0

56.866 - 64.756 Gord Stellick

Well, I appreciate it. So I guess Justin's got, what, a hockey tryout or whatever it is? Yeah, he does. Or is he on assignment? We're saying he's on assignment.

0

Chapter 4: What happened during Buffalo's controversial disallowed goal review?

65.116 - 72.345 Sam McKee

He's really starting to get more into the hockey stuff with his boy. Yes. I can see it in his eyes. He's pretty excited about it.

0

72.365 - 76.57 Nick Kypreos

Yeah, he's working on the left wing lock with him in the neutral zone.

0

76.59 - 80.735 Sam McKee

He's going to scout the next Ivar Stenberg. You were a pretty sane hockey parent, right?

0

80.755 - 83.238 Gord Stellick

I seem to think, right? Yeah. I think you were.

0

Chapter 5: Can Buffalo's fluky goal off the stanchion change the series momentum?

83.258 - 101.79 Nick Kypreos

I wanted to sit... at the top row with my coffee and just be kind of left alone a little bit. And then the kids would start losing like for nothing. And they'd look at me and go, can you fix that? What are you doing? Go and help them. And I'm like, no, let me just have my coffee.

0

101.77 - 108.642 Gord Stellick

Yeah. I would just say, look, the teams I manage, we're usually down 4-0. You're asking the wrong guy.

0

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the Sedin twins being considered for co-Presidents in Vancouver?

108.863 - 109.985 Gord Stellick

Go bug Kipper over there.

0

110.185 - 122.548 Nick Kypreos

This hour of Real Kipper and Bourne brought to you by Bet365. In a few minutes, we'll welcome in a former NHL agent, general manager, broadcaster. Brian Lawton, you've had him on your show numerous times.

0

122.989 - 125.915 Gord Stellick

Yeah, well-versed and well-plugged in and everything.

0

125.935 - 135.675 Nick Kypreos

I think we'll have some great insight on the recent firing in Toronto and maybe one pending with the Edmonton Oilers. Nothing official yet, Sammy?

0

135.655 - 142.846 Sam McKee

Nothing official, specs alluding to it on X, that it could potentially happen by the end of the day today. But we'll see what happens.

142.866 - 147.534 Nick Kypreos

In the meantime, Gordon, let's get your thoughts on surprised or not surprised.

Chapter 7: How do coaches' data-driven approaches affect team dynamics?

147.714 - 163.912 Nick Kypreos

Because it, you know, I certainly started out thinking that there was a chance that Craig Berube would be behind the bench come September, October. But clearly after 10 days, John Chayka and Matt Sundin died. Well, it felt differently.

0

163.972 - 174.894 Gord Stellick

Yeah. What do you think Matt's did or just strike? I don't know. Anyway, however, they're making it work. So I thought he was gone. I think he thought he was gone. And then that press conference, which was kind of convoluted in a lot of ways.

0

Chapter 8: What are the potential outcomes for NHL teams in the upcoming draft?

174.954 - 196.685 Gord Stellick

It seemed like there was a real glimmer of hope. If you're, if you're Craig Berube and you wanted to come back. So I, I don't think that was the case. I don't know if you call it due diligence. I don't know if you call it just appearances that you talk to the coach, whether you went through the motions or whatever you want to call it, then he just wasn't his guy. And so, no. No, not surprised.

0

197.006 - 218.165 Gord Stellick

And a very curious... Like, everyone's assuming Bruce Cassidy's the guy that Edmonton wants, that Toronto wants, that Los Angeles may want. Like, whatever. But all they kept talking about was database, database, database. And I don't know. I've been connecting more about with coaches. Like, who are the coaches? that are data-based, right? Because you know the story in Chicago.

0

218.265 - 235.187 Gord Stellick

Joel Quenville and company, they won three Stanley Cups, and when they got whatever data they were given, they threw out. You know, they were given data suggesting what lines to put together or whatever. I'm not saying that's the way you should go about it. So I'm curious, well, is that Bruce Cassidy, or are we going to get a complete unknown?

0

238.593 - 256.686 Nick Kypreos

Would you like to see a Bruce Cassidy? And let's just speculate now because his name's been linked to the Edmonton Oilers. I'll get your thoughts on that separately. But for now, let's just finish off just a quick thought on the Leafs in terms of are the Leafs ready for a Bruce Cassidy, in your opinion?

0

257.172 - 277.189 Gord Stellick

I don't know if he's the right. No, because that's kind of what Craig Berube was in a lot of ways. And the other, you don't want to repeat of when Kyle Dubas got the job and Mike Babcock was the coach and all this stuff that Keith Pelley and John Jacob were talking about, whether it's the symmetry or the vertical horizontal connection, whatever you, you know, whatever, whatever it may be. I mean,

277.169 - 294.33 Gord Stellick

he's got to be, let's say they got to be aligned with the general manager. So, and the general, they made, they did not want a retread general manager. That's not a slight at other general managers. You know, Chega had been out of it for six years, so he was viewed a little bit differently. I think they found him more enlightened, whatever.

294.831 - 300.317 Gord Stellick

So yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm curious to see what he's thinking.

300.458 - 302.54 Nick Kypreos

You got anything for Sammy over there?

303.161 - 303.261

Yeah.
