Chapter 1: What led to the Montreal Canadiens' elimination from the playoffs?
Big week about to begin on The Real Kipper and Bourne Show. Stanley Cup final, baby. Summer weather can only mean one thing. Are you going to talk about hockey or? The season is slowly coming to an end. Yeah. But not before what we believe should be a great Stanley Cup final. Nick Kiprios, Justin Bourne, Sammy McKee, Jake the Snake Schultz, Derek Brandale.
We are live on Sportsnet 590, The Fan, Sportsnet 960 in Calgary, 650 in Vancouver, Sportsnet 360, Sportsnet Plus, and YouTube, where we always appreciate the chats and a thumbs up. And if you can't catch our show, go find it on a podcast, Spotify, Apple, wherever you...
Chapter 2: How did Kent Hughes compare the Canadiens' struggles to the Maple Leafs' Core Four?
Want to go? At your convenience, of course. This hour of Real Kipper and Bourne brought to you by Bet365. As we said, Stanley Cup Final set to begin tomorrow night. One more sleepover.
Chapter 3: What insights does Jason Blake provide about his son Jackson's playoff performance?
Or not a sleepover. You want a sleepover? You probably got a big enough house. You got enough rooms for all of us? Before we get into that, want to put a bow on the Montreal Canadiens because we have not spoken since they have been eliminated. What? I think people were hoping for was just a second push by the Canadians to make things interesting.
It kind of played out the way we felt it was going to play out based on game two, game three, game four, game five.
Sammy said going into that last game that it was either going to be 2-1 in overtime or 7-0, and it was darn close to 7-0.
Yeah, they just didn't look interested in doing it, just right from the start.
I don't think they could.
I think they kind of accepted their fate going into that game, and their fate was handed to them pretty early on.
The standout quote to me was Lane Hudson postgame, basically saying, you know, we were close, but we got a long way to go sort of thing. They don't feel like they were right there with Carolina. It wasn't like, we're one guy away.

Chapter 4: How do the Carolina Hurricanes match up against the Vegas Golden Knights?
They're still a ways from getting past a team like that.
Absolutely. We're going to talk to, who are we talking to? Oh, my God, Kipper. We're talking to Jason Blake, former hockey player. Sorry, you know what? We were going to have somebody else. I thought it was somebody else, and it's like we didn't book him, and it's like, who do we have?
We're going to talk to Jason Blake, former National Hockey League forward, and his son now starring for the Carolina Hurricanes. No, no, no, like a go-to guy and a star.
Chapter 5: What does Brendan Gallagher's future look like with the Canadiens?
16 points in 15 games for them during their run, so he's been unbelievable.
Is that tops for the Canes?
We'll get Jason Blake's thoughts on the Stanley Cup final and his son Jackson in a few minutes. But in the meantime, kind of finish off a conversation on the Montreal Canadiens because we had been talking at the end of the week and we had Renaud Lavoie, of course, and one of the questions that I kind of directed at him was,
before the weekend was, like, if they go quietly, does this kind of curtail or suck the air out of an incredible run? And I think the answer is yes. For sure. Right now.
I mean, you look back at it and you go, well, the way that series went, they were non-factors, essentially. And then, you know, people talking about the Game 7s, they kind of snuck by.

Chapter 6: What were the implications of Canada's loss to Norway in the World Championship?
That is not to take away from what the Canadians have built, the direction they're going, what they're going to be, all those positive things. I think next year they're a 110-point team. But I think it is eye-opening of, like, when you get close, how much harder it gets to beat the best team.
So you don't look at the last two series wins differently after what you saw against Carolina?
I mean, no. No, I don't. I do think that it does put Buffalo and Tampa Bay into a different light.
I'd like more answers. If I'm Kent Hughes and he met the media today, we'll get to a couple of clips anyways. One clip that I found incredibly interesting.
Chapter 7: What does the hiring of Judd Bracket as assistant GM mean for the Leafs?
I need more answers on why they look like they shut it down. Oh, they want to go to the country concerts. They wanted to be done in time. You cannot just buy. For me, you cannot just buy, and they're the youngest team left still, that they just run out of gas. They're just tired. It's not enough for me. I don't want to overreact either.
I don't want to overreact either, but I think it begs some questions on what happened. The one thing that was...
Chapter 8: What are the expectations for the Stanley Cup Final between the Hurricanes and Golden Knights?
unprovoked at all was Ken Hughes, again, the general manager meeting today, and drawing up some parallels with the Toronto Maple Leafs on star players not showing up in the playoffs.
You got asked about the lack of production, I guess, from them. Play the Ken Hughes clip, Derek.
Being here in Canada, it's going to be a little bit of the narrative going into the cup final that there was that belief that certain players in Toronto underperformed in the playoffs. And one season doesn't necessarily, one playoff season wouldn't necessarily reflect another. And I think Mitch Marder is sitting atop of the playoff scoring race. And it's not just what he's doing offensively.
It's how he's contributing to their team being where they are. And if we look around at the three series that we had or the three teams that we played against in the playoffs, it wasn't necessarily their top scorers that were their top scorers, including Carolina, right?
I think it's been offensively driven more by Stankov and Blake and Hall, and that wasn't necessarily the case in the regular season. So we just got to get better, period.
I'm shocked.
I am too, because how many times did you come in here and say, gosh, it's Bull Duke and it's New Hook and it's Texier and it's...
First of all, you can critique your star players all you want. I am just shocked that he specifically went after, like, Marner and Toronto as the example. Oh, why are you shocked?
You are? That's all anyone talks about every day, so I'm not surprised by it.
