Crease Concerns, GM Roles & Young Stars | Real Kyper & Bourne Full Episode

[@Pandapanda12975]

This was an awesome episode boys. Mac's stories about being a GM were wild. Best content on the interweb

[@mikedalzell622]

Doug never disappoints. Unreal assessment

[@quelchx]

The man should have his own hour podcast twice a week or something -- because myself and many others would tune in for sure. @SPORTSNET should jump on this opportunity if Doug wants it and his wife lets him.

[@mcmurtersportsupdate7171]

Kyper is right. Stolarz made a ton of saves on Tuesday. Then, the following day, Stolarz gets the net again and now he is hurt. He may have earned the start... but the team needs to be smart with their two injury-prone goalies.

[@cainesy7913]

Large holes in that logic.

[@robertmoore8602]

Leafs will win reg season games with hildabeast in net.

[@thinglizzy2311]

You should of listened to yesterdays episode where he argues he should start ( pre game )

[@irishmanwrx7715]

love it I had a guy at work that would just quote Doug like it was his own thoughts

[@gordonbgraham]

Why is the "day to day" status a problem for Sammy? Who cares? When he's in he's in. Why do these media guys always mewl like a kitten sucking on a hind teat about injury reports. Hayes on Overdrive is the same. STFU about it already. Day to day means out of the lineup until they're in. Get over it, guy. Seriously

[@Mick-zz]

Too much mystery .... like for Matthews with a German Doctor specializing in Achilles injuries. The team and Matthews create this mystery that people want to talk about and speculate.... nothing wrong with that . Get over it Gordo!

[@gordonbgraham]

@ Why do we need to know? A player is out of the lineup or in it. That’s all anyone needs to know. If a player has to fly to Germany to see a specialist then we can assume it’s serious, no? Why do YOU or Sammy need to know the extent and nature of his injury? What if it’s a fractured bone on his instep that won’t heal? Don’t you think opposing players would slash that foot if they had that information? I do. What business is it of Sammy’s? Get over it is right! Get over it

[@mcmurtersportsupdate7171]

YESSS GUYS! Thank you for bringing up Brock Nelson! He is the one I want the Leafs to trade for.

[@TylrVncnt]

Celebrini is just unreal, it’s amazing how complete his game is already as the youngest player in the NHL by a mile. It’s wild

[@mcmurtersportsupdate7171]

Sometimes a player doesnt always know what is best for him. Kyper is right. Very surprising move by Leafs coaching staff. The smarter choice would've been a well-rested Joseph Woll.

[@SimplyJapaneseMaples]

The hand over face for Sammy was too much. You guys have the best job.

[@Fenrisulv987-nl8kh]

The Stolarz injury just hurts the soul of every Leafs fan. We had the best tandem in the NHL!!! We had the unthinkable!!! And something that was said that was even more condemning then Sammy's remark, was the conversation about rotating goalies! I think Bourne argued, why have they suddenly, ESPECIALLY on a back to back, strayed AWAY from this alternating goalie start thing they've been running?? Both goalies are playing top #5 in the whole NHL, and when you have two games in what, 48 hours, why force Stolarz to play em both?? I know the panel speculated that it was to test Stolarz, but also reward him and acknowledge the performance he had in his hometown in Jersey, but come on!! Management, or the coaching staff made that decision, and instead of starting Woll (which is something they did nearly 100% of the time when both goalies were on fire and healthy!). they played Stolarz back-to-back and now he's injured! I don't blame anyone. But if there was someone to blame, I would choose the coaching staff, and my comment would be that load management is real. After those 40 or 45 saves in Jersey, and after travel, Stolarz needed a rest day, not another game. They should have started Woll, regardless of the injury. And HAD they started Woll, this injury probably wouldn't have happened,. I almost wanna cry!!! And again, this is exactly why you run a 1A/1B goalie tandem, especially when both goalies are playing tremendous hockey! Load. Management. And after 40/45 saves in Jersey, they should have just stuck with the formula. Both goalies split the net. Finished. No experimentation. No straying from the tried and true path (which has the Leafs at #1 in the ATL right now!) -- alright, I've said my peace. It should have been Woll who started vs Anaheim. No one can convince me that that wasn't the correct decision.

[@bonn1771]

Good show

[@robertdaly4074]

On Reaves, just ask any Leaf player if they like having him in the lineup. The Leafs don't get bullied anymore since Reavo came. Kyper was right when he said there has been no reason to fight so far. He's played over 1000 NHL games, he knows what he's doing.

[@algrundau9441]

Reaves is a disgusting cheap shot artist....a goon. Nothing more.

[@markiv2942]

This must be joke. Most useless player on the roster is Reaves. Know he doesn't know crap. So funny that you dimwits think fighting still has any meaning in modern hockey. It's like thinking dinosaurs have relevance since you are digging fossils from a ditch. Kyper just rambles about toughness since he was "tough" 30 f years ago. Sad and funny at the same time. Well, it will eventually bite Leaf from the ass since some player that would have chance to make actual difference doesn't get playing time and the playoffs start. I can see same people including you crying where are all the other players who could score in 3th and 4th line. Reaves? LOLZ.

[@grantclarkson9184]

Love the show as always. I'm really intrigued about the Leafs rolling into motor city. I don't care who wins, I just want to see who can put the puck in the net from either squad.

[@Capo51]

Love Dough talk, the truth is hidden behind the scenes . He has been there , long enough to tell the name of the Game. Its played behind the scenes. By owners. Coaches and players are just tokens in this game. Only few win Stanley Cup.

[@Redz1991]

Good thing is he finished the period so hopefully it’s nothing major . Fingers crossed

[@TheSidePocketKid]

Honestly, I think most of us were surprised to see Stolarz. It's not easy to say because it's revisionist history -- it's easy to say because it's just a pragmatic way of thinking about it. I was worried going into it that he might get hurt, sure others were too

[@danieldosso2455]

@43:00 2003 Avs?

[@kenrowe5208]

I didn't think they should of put him in at all because of the work load of the last game....but I was also happy he was assigned the game as a fan...

[@Flypcyde81]

nah, Kyp was right. should not have started Stolarz

[@GrandpasGaming]

Bukala and mclean...great guests

[@JimmysOldTimeRadioShow]

Sammy, you maybe heard this, Fay Harshman passed away, she one of the Owen Sound business people whose group saved the Platers in 2000 and created the Attack.

[@Season12episode4]

Is Doug the greatest sports guest of all time?

[@Season12episode4]

Only time my gf watches the show is fridays when he’s on and she makes me put it on the tv to see what he’s wearing😂😂

[@arisketch9247]

Yo, the team does not owe anyone an explanation for their own players' injury ... I see no point of us (fans, media) knowing, ESPECIALLY the other teams (it's going to be an advantage, even knowing if it's serious or not). And, complaining about your team's tight-lipped policy on player injury is asinine at best, it's something you don't need to know. Why do you need to know? So you can precisely pray for whatever is ailing that player? So you can play doctor and prescribe some medicine, wtf?

[@wearethe80s4sure]

Getting over the finish line, like you's are saying about Stolarz. Shouldn't we give Tavares, Reilly, McCabe, mandatory two games off every 5 or 6 games? We have the depth. Keep em fresh for the long run. 🎉 2025 2026 and the best Cup of all 2027.

[@mcmurtersportsupdate7171]

Robertson, Jarnkrok, 2nd Round Pick for Brock Nelson. And, then..... Hakanpaa & 6th Rd Pick for Luke Schenn.

[@Redz1991]

Probably be a first instead of 2nd but I’d do that in a second if I’m the leafs

[@robertmoore8602]

Pass.

[@markiv2942]

In your dreams. Islanders will laugh to that. You get wet fart for robertson and jarnrok. And why on earth anyone would buy hakanpää?

[@Mick-zz]

Sure, just package up your garbage and expect other teams to pick up your problem players.

[@mcmurtersportsupdate7171]

@@Mick-zz Jarnkrok scores 18 to 28 goals per season. Robertson will grow into a Top-6 forward.

[@goaliecoachmike]

I’m with Nick. Stolie needed more rest & recovery than 48 hours. Hopefully Leafs don’t have a rickety tandem for the playoffs.

[@evanumstead24]

I think the hockey god karma moment for Sammy is more of the lack of sympathy he’s shown Woll for getting injured like he got hurt on purpose. Hope Stolarz is back soon 🙏🏾💪🏾

[@gordonbgraham]

I'd keep Minten over Cowan. He looks more NHL certain

Why are they assuming knee. Prob. Groin

[@you_want_some_gamer8553]

I really want to know more about that player Doug had to trade

[@algrundau9441]

Stolarz has had BOTH knee's operated on before his 25th Birthday......He has NEVER been a starter. He has played more this year than any other in his Pro career.....and he is injured.......What does that tell you?

[@Redz1991]

1st round pick , Nick Robertson for brock Nelson

[@markiv2942]

Why on earth anybody would take Nick Robertson? You're delusional.

[@Redz1991]

@ because when he works with good players he can score goals . He got 15 goals in 50 games last year . He can be a 20-30 goal scorer in league if playing with right guys .

[@Mick-zz]

@Redz1991 He is a career AHL player at best.

[@Mick-zz]

Leaf fans had to know goaltending was a massive risk going into the season .... neither has played even close to a full season and both have had serious injuries in key parts of the body. I thought late January/early February this would manifest, but it's coming early. If Woll goes down like I predict they may not make the playoffs.

[@Redz1991]

They will 100% make playoffs . Hildeby is a good goalie and will be fine if he has to play also Murray has been really good in marlies as well

[@Mick-zz]

@Redz1991 98% I would agree .... if Woll gets injured look out for the 2%. Murray injured again .... what did you expect. And Hildeby has 2 NHL games career - you really want to rely on that in the playoffs? HIs last game he looked lost ... totally.

[@Redz1991]

@ and his first game was great and he got a win. First off , woll is still healthy so let’s not let the chickens out of the barn yet . Also, Stolarz has no structural damage so he will likely be back as early as Wednesday game against Dallas . Not the end of the world

[@Redz1991]

See him in February? Sammy is so out in left field it’s absurd

[@johnbates7949]

Sam…😢

[@kingbearsadventures]

He just pulled his groin took himself out before it got to bad he's gone for a week then he will be back

[@gojakeog]

He was a game away from the cup last year this guy is a idiot skinner is getting the cup this year

[@cainesy7913]

Take a moment to plan your sentence more carefully.

[@gojakeog]

@@cainesy7913 negative i stand by my incoherence but seriously skinner is a good goalie was literally one win away from the stanley cup so asking if he can do it again is kinda dumb he made it to the finals last year and will again this year

[@William-c7b]

Why didn't they call up the goalie with better stats? Try 1 game with him.

[@Redz1991]

Who’s the goalie with better stats? Because Stolarz has better stats then anyone in the league 🤣
