21 Apr 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What concerns does Steve Valiquette have about Linus Ullmark's performance?

10.021 - 36.433 Unknown

All right, let's get her going nationally. It's the Real Kipper and Bourne Show. We are live on Sportsnet 650 in Vancouver. Sportsnet 960 in Calgary. Streaming always on Sportsnet Plus. Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Love the chats. If you can give us a thumbs up, we'd appreciate that. Steve Allocat will join us for his regularly scheduled Tuesday. We'll get into those goaltenders.

including Allmark, who's been pretty darn good. Freddie Anderson, albeit one soft goal that Sammy felt like he needed to go to Twitter and give him a bit of a shot. Oh, you follow me on there? No, but people tell me this. Oh, good.

0

Chapter 2: Why does Steve believe Frederik Andersen hasn't changed?

55.004 - 82.605 Unknown

Oh, wow, good. You got some following now. We've created a monster, JB. That's good. Let's get some traction on that stuff. Oh, me taking a shot at Frederick Anderson? Bottle for more. Still fresh in your mind, those Toronto days. You know my thoughts. Do your little thing. This hour of Real Kipper and Bourne brought to you by Bet365. And that's it.

83.407 - 91.746 Nick Kypreos

That's it. So, four hockey games last night. We did a little bit on this in the first hour, but I was mostly tuned to Carolina-Ottawa, Edmonton game.

0

Chapter 3: How are the Canadiens finding ways to score against Andrei Vasilevskiy?

92.046 - 99.205 Unknown

Yeah. The only one that surprised me is Ottawa going home down 2-0.

0

99.365 - 99.586 Nick Kypreos

Yeah.

0

99.726 - 121.959 Unknown

I thought for sure there'd be a split there. Seems like they're so much more prepared and ready for this compared to what we saw against the Toronto Maple Leafs last year in their first round. Allmark was horrible this time last year against the Leafs and been their best player. And he's still down 2-0.

0

122.179 - 144.685 Nick Kypreos

It's actually ironic that his great play is making me more mad at him for Ottawa Senators fans' sake. Because if he was anything other than putrid for the first three or four months of the year, they wouldn't have to play the best team in the Eastern Conference, and he wouldn't have to be prime Dominic Hasek in this game to get it to double OT. Like, you know how good this guy can be.

0

145.546 - 152.234 Nick Kypreos

Where was this for them? They wouldn't have to be in the series. But, you know, I shouldn't take away from his... What a save. I know.

Chapter 4: Can Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen outplay Jeremy Swayman in the playoffs?

152.274 - 163.421 Nick Kypreos

He was all over it. What a pack here. Look at this. There's 30 seconds left. Oh, it's a piece. God. He was awesome. Could have used a sliver of that in November.

0

164.082 - 173.312 Unknown

They really let Carolina off the hook. They got a bit of a gift on the offside penalty shot, whatever the case was.

0

173.332 - 175.053 Nick Kypreos

Which you can listen to our thoughts in the first hour.

0

175.113 - 177.576 Unknown

Which is like second life.

0

178.906 - 187.194 Nick Kypreos

You're right. At that point, then Amadio goes in on the breakaway shortly after and catches a piece of post, and they just couldn't get it across the line, man.

187.614 - 193.74 Unknown

Timmy Stutzla breaks in, slides it past the pad, off the post, any other angle that goes into the net.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Connor Hellebuyck's comments on the Jets' season?

193.76 - 196.482 Nick Kypreos

That Stutzla one is like, I can't believe that's not in the net.

0

196.522 - 219.906 Unknown

He did everything right. There's two moments, that and the Amadio moment, where as soon as it's heading towards, like, oh, that's in, and then finds a way not to go in. It's gross. The Ottawa Senators going home for game three Thursday night down to nothing. Is there a chance tonight the Montreal Canadiens go home up to nothing against Tampa Bay?

0

219.926 - 237.148 Nick Kypreos

The Philadelphia Flyers move. Yes, there definitely is a chance. I mean, it was a pretty evenly matched game last time. Goaltending definitely not as good as the Carolina Ottawa series, but I don't know. I can't find a piece of criticism for Montreal. Why couldn't they? They're really good.

0

237.328 - 238.85 Unknown

They've got a lot of good young players.

0

238.87 - 240.292 Nick Kypreos

And I like what St.

Chapter 6: What insights were shared during Sunny Mehta's press conference as GM of the Devils?

240.332 - 244.257 Nick Kypreos

Louis said to his team. You can't dip your toe off the end of the dock. You've got to cannonball in.

0

245.259 - 254.371 Unknown

Just like our next guest. Full cannonball into the Real Kipper and Bourne show every Tuesday, 5 p.m. Eastern.

0

256.073 - 258.236 Steve Valiquette

Let's go, boys. It's playoffs. There he is.

0

258.356 - 260.078 Unknown

How are your cannonballs lately?

0

261.07 - 268.307 Steve Valiquette

Pretty good. I'm coming in a little bit lighter. I lost a few pounds. I'm not on Ozempic. I'm not on Ozempic.

Chapter 7: Will Sheldon Keefe remain the head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs?

268.908 - 279.72 Steve Valiquette

But my friend John is, and he just texts me when he's going to eat, and I just follow that. John says it's each time. Okay. I don't need a prescription. I just need notifications.

0

280.461 - 307.598 Unknown

All right, Valley. Let's start breaking down your early thoughts around some goaltenders who maybe came in a little bit questionable, and Allmark was at the top of our list, I would think, on his past performances and what we've seen out of him so far, which to me suggests that... He is the least of Ottawa's problems right now.

0

308.843 - 318.897 Steve Valiquette

See, I don't agree. And I know, I just saw the pack. I saw the pack. I loved a lot of it. I really did. You don't agree. I don't agree.

0

Chapter 8: What are the predictions for the upcoming playoff games?

319.037 - 336.522 Steve Valiquette

And I'll tell you why. And this is why I wouldn't be able to do color on television. Because Allmark makes a save second period. I'm going to give you an example. On Taylor Hall. If you remember, it comes from the boards across the ice. Taylor Hall has a one-timer. He makes a great save. Pat's a...

0

336.653 - 360.637 Steve Valiquette

It was a glove and then pad, and then he rolled over, and it was the barrel roll save in the second period. Great save, great save. The pass coming from the wall. I've talked to you guys a lot about this. I'm on the ice in the summer, five hours a day. I have 16 goalies on this program. We do that seam all the time because it's from the wall all the way across the ice to outside slot.

0

360.657 - 383.08 Steve Valiquette

That's where Taylor Hall takes the one-timer from. every goalie i coach can get across there on their feet on this particular save and many of them the puck comes across the middle of the ice no screen on the pass he butterflies when the puck is coming through the slot that's why he's late that's why he's got to recover flashy and make a save

0

383.718 - 400.516 Steve Valiquette

So I'm telling you that I couldn't commentate because everybody would be going nuts here on this save, which you should. It's a great save. It's a highlight reel looking save. But to me, there's critical error in that save, which is why he has to scramble. I had this issue when I played with Henrik Kipper.

0

401.377 - 421.363 Steve Valiquette

Guys at the back of the bus after the game, Valley, you know, he went right by his glove on that one and, you know, right by his blocker on that one. Shouldn't Hank have had it? And I'd say, guys, the pass came from below the goal line. It went to the dot. It went across the ice. And then it beat him around his blocker. Do you understand that he's always there?

421.423 - 447.719 Steve Valiquette

It goes through him because he's so positionally sound. It looks like he's getting beat by it. Nine out of ten other goalies in this league right now, you'd say he had no chance. Some goalies are so responsible, they almost look worse because the puck goes by them versus having a goal that goes in because they're not there at all and not responsible. Allmark is the highest level of talent.

447.779 - 472.186 Steve Valiquette

I don't want to take that away from this guy. Breakaways, one-on-one individual saves. You saw some rebounds there that were in front of him, that he's acrobatic. He's got the highest level of skill and talent. But... Beware of the goalie that looks like a great goalie. Do you guys remember the goal that was scored that was taken back, the Martinut goal? Yeah. He didn't even try for that rebound.

472.947 - 491.282 Steve Valiquette

Did you notice that? He didn't even try for it. He determines when the puck leaves him whether he has a chance to get it or not. And more oftentimes than not, he doesn't even try for it if he doesn't believe he's going to get it. His battle and compete level is too low for me. He doesn't go for it. Guys, when guys...

491.802 - 513.375 Steve Valiquette

that I'm coaching don't go for it after a save, and they just give it the fake stick wave. The ole. The ole. That's a down and back. Right after the drill's over. The guys know it. Because you can teach compete. He's the highest level of skill, but not the battle level in compete of like a Vladar that we're seeing right now.
