9.211 - 33.598 Nick Kypreos

All right, game day on the Real Kipper and Bourne show. 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 chat and the thumbs up. This hour of Real Kipper and Bourne brought to you by Bet365, Jake the Snake Schultz, Derek Brandeo, Chris Gallagher, our new assistant producer.

34.499 - 38.584 Nick Kypreos

Sammy, you like having an assistant? Love it. Love it, yeah.

0

38.624 - 40.006 Justin Bourne

I wish I had my regular headphones.

0

40.026 - 42.37 Nick Kypreos

I don't look like an idiot. Does he get you coffee? No.

0

42.39 - 58.314 Justin Bourne

Does he make him get you coffee? I would never in a million years do that. Stop it. Listen, when I first started at the Fan 590 back in the day as an intern, there was a couple boys that used to send me for food, send me for coffee, and I'd always do it. And it was one of the most demeaning things I ever did. I hated it, and I never did it.

58.334 - 63.742 Nick Kypreos

I forgot to send you for coffee the first two or three years of our show. Yeah. We really dropped the ball.

64.362 - 69.447 Justin Bourne

There's nothing I hated more. But listen, I put my head down and did it, and now it's got me on TV looking like an idiot DJ.

70.448 - 87.025 Nick Kypreos

We are glad we got Chris. Don't worry, Chris. No coffee runs just yet for you. Plenty to get into. We're going to be jam-packed again. Of course, we got Steve Aliquette that's going to join us in about 10 minutes. So much to get into, but...

88.405 - 103.121 Nick Kypreos

Big story capturing a lot of hockey fans, at least coast to coast in this country, is the potential return of Mike Babcock as now the head coach of the Edmonton Oilers.

Chapter 2: What are the latest coaching developments for the Edmonton Oilers?

283.31 - 288.035 Justin Bourne

Are we sure? Like, I just, this is a real swing.

0

288.075 - 291.518 Nick Kypreos

To answer your question, no. No. We're not sure. Nobody's sure.

0

291.538 - 292.759 Justin Bourne

Oh, man.

0

292.799 - 327.708 Nick Kypreos

They're not sure. He's not sure. To your point, this is last kick at the can opportunity. And Connor knows it. So usually in the everyday world of NHL coaching, when you see a coach leave, if it was a hard ass, they bring in a softer guy. If it's a softer guy, you go get a hard ass. Think about who's he replacing.

0

328.609 - 329.35 Justin Bourne

Knobloch.

330.022 - 338.01 Nick Kypreos

Maybe one of the nicest guys. Soft-spoken coaches. Soft-spoken. What does Conor want? The opposite.

338.51 - 339.892 Sam McKee

Someone who matches intensity.

339.912 - 348.74 Nick Kypreos

Go get somebody that's going to rattle the cages here. And that's what this is all about, guys.

348.8 - 354.506 Sam McKee

And also, when you're a superstar, they don't rattle your cage. Babs isn't coming in and doing anything different to Conor.

Chapter 3: What insights does Steve Valiquette provide for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final?

1977.74 - 1978.541 Nick Kypreos

I'll take Vegas.

0

1980.323 - 1987.065 Justin Bourne

I'll take Carolina. Who's leading the points again? Yeah. I'm going to go. Would you say Carolina? Yeah. Carolina.

0

1988.286 - 1991.05 Steve Valiquette

Carolina.

0

1991.07 - 1993.173 Justin Bourne

Oh, yeah. There we go. Getting close. I'm just going.

0

1993.494 - 2018.901 Steve Valiquette

Carolina, 9-7 in slot line, which is really big because Vegas only allowed five in the entire Colorado series. Okay. What team has more screens in this series, Carolina or Vegas? And now this is a really close one. It's 9-8, so it's not going to be an easy guess. Go ahead, Kip. Go ahead, Kip.

2018.921 - 2025.827 Justin Bourne

Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. No, Sammy. No, I'll be my guess. Carolina.

2025.848 - 2027.189 Nick Kypreos

I'll go Carolina again. Carolina.

2027.829 - 2027.97 Justin Bourne

Oh!

2028.11 - 2035.597 Steve Valiquette

All right, Kip, you gamed the system. It's Carolina.

Chapter 4: How have the first three games of the Stanley Cup Final played out statistically?

2610.252 - 2623.857 Nick Kypreos

More so than probably any other team. Team, obviously, that's out there, that's looking. I don't know. I mean, what are they? What message are you getting? Is it clear cut? We have to win now.

0

2625.721 - 2653.727 Sam McKee

I just really want someone like Cassidy. I like the labial idea. And I'll just say it because the people who are hiring him have not been around the league for the last few years. I want a known hockey person who's been coaching hockey teams, has the lay of the league, is a real pro. I don't think it's the right time for a test run on someone who has no experience.

0

2653.747 - 2661.198 Sam McKee

It's not the right environment for that right now. I just, I mean, so neither of you answered my question, but Bruce Cassidy?

0

2661.219 - 2662.061 Justin Bourne

Bruce Cassidy, yes.

0

2662.281 - 2668.056 Sam McKee

Where is he going to end up? It sounds like maybe Cassidy doesn't want Toronto. Is that why that is...

2669.133 - 2678.884 Nick Kypreos

My understanding is it's a Vegas situation that will be looked at after the season is over.

2679.145 - 2685.492 Sam McKee

So it's just drag your feet until you find out about Cassidy. Do you think the Gruden thing too, the Marlies are still going?

2685.512 - 2695.984 Nick Kypreos

It's pretty clear cut. We have your rights. We're paying you. We're paying you to stay home now, not find another job. That's what the message to Cassidy is.

2695.964 - 2697.567 Sam McKee

Right, but then so it's just vindictive?

Chapter 5: What factors should Carolina consider when choosing their starting goalie?

2970.082 - 2975.15 Sam McKee

Good for Danford, by the way. These are great games for him to next year be ready.

0

2975.49 - 2990.993 Nick Kypreos

Our thanks to Steve Valiquette. Does a great job on Tuesdays for us. Game four. Carolina Hurricanes, Vegas Golden Knights. Mere hours away on Sportsnet. If you get a chance, give us a rating and review. We'd love to hear from you.
