Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 2k ratings
  • Vally

    Although it’s very Leaf centric, Kip and Bourne often have fantastic guests on the show, almost daily. The BEST one of all is Vally’s View where Steve Valiquette breaks down hockey analytics better than anyone else out there.

    I feel badly for Sam, the tortured leaf fan.

  • Great show

    I like that you guys dig deep into what’s happening with the teams play. Bourne could work for an nhl club with his analysis.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lost Season Final Stretch + Will the Blues Hold?
Q: Cam, in your experience, how does late-season pressure affect players and roster decisions?
Cam explains that players feel the weight of every game; the pressure can reveal character and drive, but it can also erode confidence if not managed, leading teams to make tough calls to protect core futures.
Lost Season Final Stretch + Will the Blues Hold?
Q: Ray, what's your take on the Leafs' approach—do they need a clear direction and plan going into the playoffs?
Ray emphasizes that teams benefit from choosing a direction and sticking to it; a well-executed, definite plan beats indecision and constant mid-course corrections, especially during a tight playoff push.
The Call for Player's Safety Review + Garry Galley
Q: What are your thoughts on a committee-style approach to player safety decisions?
Galley advocates for multiple voices, including players and unions, to form a more balanced, transparent process that could reduce controversy around suspensions.
The Call for Player's Safety Review + Garry Galley
Q: Garry, do you think the World Cup schedule will keep fans engaged without burning out the players?
Galley suggests there is potential, but emphasizes the need for careful cadence and rest periods; he also notes the importance of promotional build-up and leveraging top players to maintain interest.
Are the Buffalo Sabres a Real Stanley Cup Contender?
Q: What goes into a GM or a president's mind in those last 12 games? Are you purposely setting the coach up to help lose games?
MacLean explains that he never recalls having that discussion with a coach; if a team wants to tank, the legitimate method is to move players at the deadline, not instruct the coach to lose games, emphasizing that rebuilding requires strategic moves rather than signaling a tank to players.
