Steve, I am 35 years old, a Red Wings fan, and I have NEVER posted a comment to you tube in my entire life. I have read your book. I have watched every LFR since the 2016 season. Thank you for your perspective on this game that I love. Take care of Leo. Honor your grandfather. Remember Charlie. Cherish your wife. Happy Hockey, friend.

I was gonna write something similar, as a Habs fan. You wrote exactly what I was thinking. This guy's passion for hockey is contagious, regardless of the team he supports. I'm almost... sad the Leafs lost? because of Steve? And Charlie? Which is weird. I don't know. Conflicting feelings. Thanks Steve for the videos, best hockey content on KZfaq, or anywhere for that matter. Take care mate.
@soulessshadow53563 жыл бұрын
Same thing here, I don't like the Leafs and never have, but Steve's energy and passion for his team and for Hockey is contagious. I've watched every LFR and I'm a Stars fan, and I love his view on hockey as a whole even outside of his own team. He's not afraid to compliment other teams, even when they whoop up on his Leafs. The LFR's, Trade Tree's, and SDP are some of my favorite things to watch on KZfaq

Nice to hear. Then consider this, some Leaf fans do suffer more than less. Generations of fans have lived and died without ever witnessing victory. As well as my younger brother had. It's become more than disheartening for us living fans to even want to recognize that aspect. Yes, WE suffer.

Exactly, you nailed it right on the button. How do the Leafs expect to break down a goal without screening him and getting into his face?

Also, the Leafs forwards are such wimps that they didn't even bother to forecheck and smash Jones and Werenski. The playoffs are different game. A team needs grit and iron horse work ethic to grind out a win. I have no faith in this roster.

That being said, I have a few things to say to you. 1. My son being born went a long way to lessen the blow of inevitable eliminations for almost 40 years now. It still hut, but it was no longer the agony it once was. 2. The Leafs will win a cup in your lifetime (I believe within a few short years). I know it doesn't help today, but consider this. How sweet will it be for you and your beautiful son to be at that parade together when he can appreciate it. Take it from a 64 year old guy who has lived in Tampa since 2000, but never lost the blue in my blood and drove all night to be in St Louis for a celebration and parade he waited for since he was 11. 3. The team that wins the cup this year will have no parade, no rally, no celebration at local bars and restaurants. No public events. Nothing. (So glad the Blues won it LAST year!) The Leafs and Blues fans have walked side by side over the last 50+ years in frustration and disappointment Hopefully their names will finally be pounded into the cup together, as well. And on the same ring!

Ngl Steve I was having a super hard time dealing with last nights game because as you know so well its emotionally draining to care so much about a team that lets you down EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! but after watching your video its like you put to words how I was feeling and that helps me deal with the game a little better. So thank you Steve, these past few months have been extremely difficult for you losing loved ones and adding a Dangle to the family (congratulations) but you've still been there for all of us and I'm sure I'm not the only one who is grateful.

I first discovered you through the dangits series and started watching all of your videos and even leafs games (im a penguins fan). I love what you do and it has played a big part in me finally deciding to start my own podcast with my friends and next season i will start a similar series where I review penguins games. I guess what im trying to say is thank you for giving.me tbe confidence to actually go through with something and live life to the fullest. Life moves fast and i just want to enjoy every part of it. Thank you.

Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them and it helps with my mental health. Knowing someone can tell about a game as loud as I do, make me feel a bit less crazy sometimes. Have a good break from LFR and enjoy time off with ypur family.

I heard from the feed on ice someone said t “f***in ice” and that sums up half of these games the ice is terrible no matter what and funny bounces turn into deciding goals. Love you Steve

Thank you for making this. Didn’t really let myself react to the game but hearing you talk about this past season made me feel like I could. Not a lot of people understand the passion and pain that come from this team, but you perfectly embody it. Thank you for being a long time friend and let’s keep BeLeaf-ing for next season
@ratedRblazin4203 жыл бұрын
That's why this team is the laughing stock of the league. You have some of the best forwards in the league, and some good Dmen, and yet you still need to 'beleaf' Any other team in the league, with these players would have success. The Leafs with these players? Can't win a playoff series. 54 years and counting, here's to another 54.

@joepanik79553 жыл бұрын
Ryan Friesen Toronto was in a playoff spot and Florida was not. Bottom line. Despite how horrible Toronto played down the stretch, Florida managed to keep losing. The Leafs gave Florida every chance to overtake them and Florida couldn’t do it, so there’s no logic behind you “knowing” Florida would make it. Also I don’t know what the games being in Toronto have to do with anything, there’s no fans and it’s not like the Leafs got home team advantages in all the games they played.

Patrick Rhomberg oh yeah, I’m not underestimating the Canucks. Markstrom and Demko have been incredible against the Blues the past few seasons. I honestly expect the Canucks to take this series to 7. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Canucks pulled it off. Especially if the Blues play like they did in the round robin. If they do, it could be over in 4 or 5.

You know Steve. I’m an oilers fan. I’ve been watching your videos since I was a kid, and now I’m 18. After years of watching ur videos, I never fully understood “this team is ruining my life.” Like the oilers sucked for so long and never gave me hope that I just was use to them being failure. But after this season, us being good and failing as the hub city against Chicago. I fully understood that saying; the emotional rollercoaster of hope and then just being disappointed in the end.
