Chapter 1: Who are the four finalists for the Toronto Maple Leafs GM position?
Jam-packed two hours here on the Real Kipper and Bourne Show. Nick Kiprios, Justin Bourne, Sammy McKee, Frank the Tank, Raska, and Derek Brandeo. We're live on Sportsnet 360, streaming always on Sportsnet+. Also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube when you can't catch us live. All right, boys. We've got plenty to dive into. Stanley Cup playoffs, of course. Blazing out of the gate.
Again, last night, tremendous action. We'll get into all of that.
Chapter 2: Why was Mike Gillis omitted from the GM finalist list?
In the meantime, just some house cleaning with the Toronto Maple Leafs, just in terms of maybe a search getting narrowed down. Our Elliot Friedman on sportsnet.ca threw his 32 thoughts. Really feeling like we're getting down to the nitty-gritty. I'm not sure if there are a lot of household names that are out there. Right. But... They're out there.
Yeah. Luke Fox also has an article, what you should know about Toronto Maple Leafs GM finalists. So that list would be Ryan Martin, New York Rangers, Scott White of the Dallas Stars, Evan Gold of the Boston Bruins, and John Chayka of Wendy's.
Chapter 3: When is the decision expected to be made regarding the new GM?
Okay. I don't mean that to sound so dismissive, but that's currently what he's doing. So do you think... That's a whopper of a list. Nope. Wrong. Oh, crap.
Franchise. Crap. So we're going... Frosty reception. As far as the GM position of the Toronto Maple Leafs, we're going from Boston Pizza to Wendy's.
Chapter 4: What insights did Shane Doan share during his interview in Vancouver?
Oh, my God. Kippy. Oh, man. From a pierogi pizza to a frosting.
I think we got the concession stands down pat. Well looked at. Is there a Stanley Cup to be presented for the best concessions?
I imagine that they'll be selling like a, that'll be the drinking vessel.
Apparently, Chaka has been killing it with his Wendy's franchises.
Yeah.

Chapter 5: How did Tampa Bay perform in their recent playoff game against Montreal?
Well, I would hope so. Yeah. I mean, listen, not to besmirch John Chayka, Wendy's rocks. It's like, I love Wendy's. It's not like I'm going to be like, boy, that Wendy's really was way better than those other ones.
You can't take Wendy's every time.
Oh, Junior Bacon Cheeseburger?
Sounds good. JVC for the kid. Can't screw up a square patty, can you?
Chapter 6: What was significant about Brandon Hagel's performance in the playoffs?
I don't know. But the last time... He was a general manager, was in Arizona, and it ended ugly.
Yeah?
Just in terms of the league's decision to suspend him for circumventing the salary cap around what I believe was physical testing on prospects. Oh, right. Yeah.
They lost a second and a first-round penalty.
Was it the draft combine that they were... It was significant.
That was a major penalty.

Chapter 7: What are the latest updates on the Minnesota Wild versus Dallas Stars series?
Right? Yeah. And... Is that like golfing with my dad now? Is that a complete mulligan? Off the first tee, do people care, not care? Are we in that era where it's like, yeah, I mean, he was in a federal case here. You know, he went in, he had a hearing, he pled guilty, and he took his punishment. Now move on.
Yeah, but he also had the falling out at the end of his time there, right, where he was ā
Chapter 8: What trends are emerging in NHL GM searches this year?
Look, doing a job interview without permission of the franchise. If I'm not mistaken, he had to leave Arizona before the playoffs that year. So, like, I don't have any opinion on how things are going in Arizona because they were bad and bad on purpose and kind of building toward the future. And he wasn't able to see it through to that.
And as far as I know, he's been reinstated. It's no longer an issue. It's water under the bridge.
I guess what was seen over that time that would make you think that he is, you know, like I know his sister, Megan, she is very analytically driven and intelligent and good with that stuff. I don't know. You know, I'd be less shocked if her name was involved. You know, it sounds like he's out doing business. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't have much opinion because I think we have much to go on with him.
So basically, he's been out for five years, right? And we talked about Mike Gillis being out for 12.
Right.
If you heard Mike Gillis' name, does the 12 concern you? Does the five concern you with Chica?
For Gillis, yeah, it does concern me. That's a long time, and the questions are always why. Why are there not more people who are eager to have you involved?
Can I be totally honest? Yeah. There's a whole list of concerns.
