38.858 - 57.189 Nick Kypreos

During the break, I was really intrigued as Justin Boren will pick up the conversation off air. on the detailed explanation of how I'll be watching the Vancouver Canucks a little earlier next season.

0

57.229 - 76.674 Justin Bourne

I'll try again. BC no longer has daylight savings time. Therefore, I believe we get to watch the Canucks games an hour earlier out here in the East Coast. But then they must change time. No, they never change time, but we do. This is where it really derailed for them. So it must change.

0

77.335 - 87.769 Sam McKee

Are we three hours in the summer and then two in the winter? You're looking at me like a guy that I would understand time zones. I'm still worried when I'm texting people. I'm like, I think it's three hours behind you're coming on our show or three hours ahead. I hate time zones.

0

87.809 - 93.597 Justin Bourne

Yeah. I don't know. I tried, guys. But I think we get to watch Canucks games earlier. I think we should talk about Augusta instead.

93.617 - 95.8 Nick Kypreos

Is there a chat line in...

96.522 - 120.42 Nick Kypreos

in the youtube that can explain this better than just i was just trying to recite carolyn cameron's talking point from last night that's all i tried to do i don't actually know anything this hour of real kipper and born brought to you by bet 365 in a few minutes we'll welcome in jason york we'll talk ottawa senators who clinched a playoff spot uh in the meantime did you win any money with rory winning the masters i gotta tell you i am financially ruined from

120.4 - 141.126 Sam McKee

You'll never recover from this. Pools, outright bets, just didn't make a cent back. Not even a cent. Listen, I had Cameron Young on an outright. I put on some on Scotty Scheffler. I had Russell Henley. I had some guys near the top, but Rory just stuck a dagger into my heart and said no.

141.224 - 150.555 Nick Kypreos

And CBS has taken a beating, eh? On which, like, the camera angles and the players they started following.

Chapter 2: Was there any doubt about the Ottawa Senators making the playoffs?

1560.029 - 1561.912 Nick Kypreos

Lars Eller, big fan.

0

1562.233 - 1562.954 Justin Bourne

Yeah.

0

1562.974 - 1570.044 Nick Kypreos

Loved him in Washington when they won the Stanley Cup, and he played a wonderful role.

0

1570.204 - 1571.867 Sam McKee

Scored a huge goal for them, right?

0

1571.887 - 1572.327 Nick Kypreos

Yeah, he did.

1572.588 - 1593.522 Sam McKee

I think he scored one in game five for them. Maybe the winning goal. I'm not mistaken. Devontae Smith-Pelly had a huge goal in that run. Yes, he did. Anyways, that was cap stock. It's game time. Presented by Bet365, an official partner of the NHL, Boston 19+. Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Big one in Toronto tonight for a lot of reasons.

1594.003 - 1598.13 Sam McKee

But specifically, it is a huge spot for the Leafs to lose.

Chapter 3: What should we expect from Linus Ullmark in the post-season?

1598.651 - 1610.532 Sam McKee

They need to lose the last two games of the year. And they will... Is it if they lose the last two, they pretty much guarantee themselves a top five pick? Well, they'll finish fifth and fill the lottery. I mean, finish being the bottom five. They're not guaranteeing anything.

0

1610.552 - 1612.575 Nick Kypreos

What's the percentage that they move back?

0

1612.741 - 1617.469 Justin Bourne

58.8. And 42 up. Or something like that.

0

1617.59 - 1618.431 Nick Kypreos

Or is it the other way around?

0

1618.451 - 1622.338 Justin Bourne

Yeah, it's like, yeah, 42 versus 58. 42 they keep, 58 they move back.

1622.358 - 1625.083 Nick Kypreos

And British Columbia's daylight savings.

1625.924 - 1626.265 Justin Bourne

Too much.

1626.866 - 1638.854 Sam McKee

Anyways, excuse me, I'm getting choked up thinking about this. If you're a Toronto Maple Leaf fan and you're worried about them winning tonight, they're all talking about how they've got to get a win for Aktyomov, who's starting tonight. They've got to get a win for him.

1638.935 - 1642.444 Justin Bourne

Aktyomov, Morgan Riley's last home game, Joe Bowen's last game. A lot of money on the board.

Chapter 4: Who is the most important forward for the Senators outside of Brady Tkachuk?

2611.989 - 2612.97 Nick Kypreos

He had a lousy season.

0

2612.99 - 2632.592 Justin Bourne

I'll be honest. My first thoughts are his last two stints have not gone well. So this is a... He's a great guy, a good man, and... I mean, he's been around the NHL for years, so I don't know. Listen, it's really tough because, again, I really genuinely like him, but the track record's been bad.

0

2633.894 - 2651.839 Sam McKee

I'm just surprised that... Do I think he's never going to work again? No, that's not what I'm saying here, but I'm just surprised that they would go down this road after such a high-profile divorce with the biggest team in the country. I'm surprised that they would do it this year. That's all. Like he can do it again.

0

2651.899 - 2661.238 Justin Bourne

And I guess who are the other available candidates? You know, in this case, he's the most experienced maybe. And that works in his favor.

0

2661.877 - 2696.261 Nick Kypreos

I think the tendency is to go that this is a reward to somebody who's had a great season or is at the top of his game. And I don't think they see it that way. I think they look at the availability, to your point, and go, okay, what's the number one challenge here? Right? Getting guys to come. Brad tree living isn't been named because he's not the top of his game or had a good season.

2696.281 - 2724.665 Nick Kypreos

It's because he might be the best guy to pick up the phone and convince somebody to come. This is a recruitment issue here for team Canada. It's not a, let's get the shiniest name out there. This will be one of the biggest challenges probably in a long time because it's up against the Olympics. And if a star gets knocked out early... He ain't going. Right?

2725.046 - 2727.669 Sam McKee

Especially up against the Olympics. Well, just right after the Olympics.

2727.789 - 2758.344 Nick Kypreos

If one of the star players from the Olympics on Team Canada gets knocked out early or is missing in the playoffs, it's highly unlikely he's going. Brad's job now is to convince players to want to come. And Jason's another guy who can relate to the guy. He's young enough. He can pick up a phone. Everybody will listen to Jason Spezza. And I think it's built that Brad works the phones.

2758.424 - 2766.927 Nick Kypreos

He talks to everybody. He knows everybody. He knows every agent. He knows every assistant general manager. This guy can get answers quickly.

Chapter 5: How crucial is Brady Tkachuk's playoff performance for his future in Ottawa?

2947.413 - 2969.612 Nick Kypreos

Yeah, but they don't. We got to go. Oh, let's see. We're just getting warmed up. All right. We'll continue this for two more months. Our thanks to Jody Shelley, Jason York. Ten games on tap. Enjoy yours. And we're back tomorrow. Do it all over again on the Real Kipper and Bourne Show.
