"A kick at the can" = Một cú đá trúng hộp -> Một cơ hội để làm, cố gắng và đạt được điều nào đó.

Ví dụ
I guess the frustration (nản lòng, thất vọng) is, how many times can a development come back, virtually very similar, to keep trying to get a kick at the can?”.

“Sometimes it’s just not good enough,” Lamont said after the incumbent (người có phận sự, bề trên) Progressive Conservatives were handed a second successive majority mandate (ủy nhiệm). “I think over the next few years, I don’t think things will get much better under the PCs, so I think there will be another opportunity to take a kick at the can soon enough.”

Yeah. Now, after making the playoffs, getting a taste of it, I can't imagine not making them again. You don't realize what you've been missing out on until you've been there. We did get there in 2013-14, lost to Minnesota in Game 7 at home. And then you always expect you're going to be there and get a kick at the can every time, but you realize pretty fast that it's not like that, that it's pretty hard making it. It's not a guarantee (sự bảo đảm). You gotta earn it. And that's what you're trying to do.
