Chapter 1: What were the highlights of Game 1 in the Stanley Cup Final?
Waiting for the nod here? What's going on? There's a little red button here. Yeah. And I don't talk until it magically turns on. And our good buddy, Derek Brandeo, said, sorry, I hit the wrong button. All right. But we're good to go now. Here we go. We got the red light.
Chapter 2: How did Shea Theodore's performance impact the game?
We also got game one under our belt during the Stanley Cup final.
Chapter 3: What insights did Craig Simpson share about Game 1?
Here to discuss Nick Kiprio, Justin Bourne, Sammy McKee, Jake the Snake Schultz, and of course, Derek Brandeo. We are live on Sportsnet 590, The Fan, Sportsnet 960 in Calgary, 650 in Vancouver, and Sportsnet 360 and Sportsnet Plus. Also available, Spotify, Apple, and YouTube. Where we love a thumbs up. This hour of Real Kipper and Born brought to you by Bet365.
This fastest hour in hockey brought to you by Bet365. All right, boys. Maybe not the way you kind of thought it would plan out with Carolina at home. At least it did for the first, what, couple of minutes.
Chapter 4: How can the Hurricanes improve in Game 2?
And then, JB, what happened?
A lot more goals than I thought. You know, I think I said coming out of yesterday's show that I thought it would be a low-scoring affair. 5-4 in regulation was not the outcome. I saw. But interesting, you know. I think we learned a lot about how this series is going to look. Carolina looks like the rush team. They had four rush chances to Vegas' zero.
And Vegas looked like the cycle team, which you had talked about.
Chapter 5: What does John Tortorella's timeout reveal about coaching strategies?
16 cycle chances to Carolina's six. So heavier Vegas versus faster Carolina.
Up to nothing that quick. And Sammy, you're thinking what?
I thought that the first period, the goal that, I don't know if they ended up giving it to Colasar or Shea Theodore, but the one that made it 2-1 I thought completely changed the game. I think they kind of, it woke them back up, got them back into that game because they were, I mean, for the first 10 minutes of that first period, I don't know how many times they got behind Vegas.
Like, it just felt like they were way faster. They couldn't handle the speed. And that goal kind of settled them in and they started playing their game a little bit. Loved the timeout by Torts.
Chapter 6: Who are the top candidates for the Leafs coaching position?
But yeah, I thought after that first 10 minutes, I was like, oh man, maybe this will be a quicker series the other way. But I don't know. It's going to be a long one, I feel like.
In a few minutes, we'll welcome Craig Simpson, former National Hockey League or two-time Stanley Cup champion. He, of course, is calling the game for Sportsnet. We'll get his thoughts as far as mine are concerned. To your point a little bit, Sammy, with... Carolina getting behind that Vegas D, I really thought Vegas' blue line just forgot to show up and they were going to give the game away.
And it started with a flat-footed Shea Theodore.
Who never made another mistake after that, basically.
Chapter 7: What challenges do the Leafs face in their coaching search?
I mean, it's very rare you see a guy so bad so early and then turn around and be the best player on the ice. But that's what happened. And I think it's just a sign that Vegas has got like five or six of these guys that have that ability to... break a game open.
Yeah. Theodore going to assist. I think McNabb had a career best three assists in that game as well. So they got some offense from the back end. The Theodore played a how it, and it was pretty unbelievable. Freddie Anderson.
Chapter 8: How do the players' performances influence coaching decisions?
Not great for me. You know, the second goal, Carolina's up to one second period starts first. Barbershop. Barbershop. Eichel was so good for me all night. Like to me, just, you know, he, he played the most minutes. The, the forward he played the most was Jordan stall. The D was Jacob Slavin. And I thought he was, he looked good. in control of the game.
I thought he was okay, but I think there's such another level for him too. And he was good. I'm not taking away what you're saying. He was good, but he can even be better. And I think that's a bit of a scary thought. For me last night, I thought Vegas overall may have played one of their worst games in the last three or four weeks.
I think both teams are not sharp.
That may be the worst game Vegas plays in this series, which means... I'm really hoping it's not going to be a short series because I'd like to see it go six or seven games. I didn't see anything out of game one that tells me that Vegas can't put this thing away early.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah. I just ā the thing that I brought up yesterday when we did our picks ā there's just stars. And like, I mean, we've talked about this with money ball over the years when we've watched that movie where they conveniently left out, like that they had Miguel Dejada and three of the best pitchers in the league where they forgot that part of the movie. Anyways, I digress. Uh,
The point of that was that the stars, when you get to the biggest time, the stars are what matter, and that's the difference. Over a long sample size, Moneyball can work. And I guess it's like a money puck situation. It's more of a four-line thing.
But just when that game kind of... It's Eichel, and it's Theodore, and it's Hurdle, who is not necessarily a star, but he's a guy that's kind of paid to be one. It's Marner with a great pass. It's just... I don't know. I don't know if Carolina has that factor and that part of it when these games get big, it worries me for Carolina. And they know, right? They've been trying.
