Steve is the Leafs MVP of the Salary Cap era honestly. He put in more heart into those 16 years of videos than any of the players combined.

Draisaitl got more goals in 1 game this Round than the "core 4" on Toronto had in this series combined. Inexcusable.

Avs fan here. Came to your LFR videos via Hat Picks and Dang-Its a few years ago. I watch because you are the very definition of a FAN. A lot of people don't understand what real fandom is like, the highs and lows, and you broadcast it all. And yes, watching you makes my day better--thank you.

from a Bruins fan who enjoys LFR and the podcast; Thank you, Steve. can't wait for the new season to begin 🙏

I will admit, I mainly watched the negative LFR's as I love hearing angry Steve, but hearing this calm, serene and relaxed Steve as opposed to last years depressed Steve makes me happy

Thank you for a great season Steve, I hope you get a much needed break this summer and next year you come back even better!

My dad was born in 1955 and saw the Leafs win the cup. When they got Matthews and Marner he was elated. Yesterday, when they lost he turned to me absolutely defeated and disappointed and said "At least I got to see them win it once." Made me feel a bit sad no youngsters will ever have childhood memories like that for a long while.

At least we proved that Woll is the real deal. Looking forward to next year with him!

Matthews 0G, 2A in 5 games. Tavares 0G, 1A in 5 games. Marner 1G/2A in 5 games. 33-Million bucks for 1 goal. Flat-out embarrassing.

Morgan Rielly is the man. Feel the worst for him. You can tell he’s got that dog in him.

From a Tampa Bay Lightning fan, thank you Steve for making this sport exciting and fun to watch. I can honestly say that over these past 3 years of watching your videos on your channel, I've learned to appreciate this crazy game much more than before. You've got a new friend down here in tampa. Keep up the great work. Thank you again. Andrew

No schadenfreude here, Steve, just empathy, sympathy, togetherness, and appreciation from this Jackets fan. You took a shtick and made it a life, and what you’ve done with it, and the people you advocate for, and the conscience you carry into the hockey world; nothing but respect and appreciation.

I have to be honest, I started watching your videos a few years ago as one of those people that enjoyed seeing you suffer, I got excited about the idea of a good freak out. Steve, from the bottom of my heart, you have earned a fan and someone who could not be more empathetic. I wanted this team to win, not for the team, but for you. You deserve to see success. Few voices in hockey have the kind of passion and dedication that you possess. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but I can’t be the only person you’ve won over. You took the hard road and have earned well deserved respect within this industry.

Bruins fan coming in peace… I watch these videos for two reasons. I need someone to be just as pissed off when their team loses as I do and this makes me feel better about myself. Secondly, I need someone to be as happy as I am on my team wins. Just because you roots for another team doesn’t make you my enemy. I was really rooting for you guys. In the end the only thing to say is …how lucky are we.

Thank you for another great season of LFR videos! Always look forward to them! See you next year!

Thanks for another season of content Steve. Enjoy the summer!

We’re so blessed a 40 minute LFR

Love you man. Thanks for being there all these years. Drew has made us all happier not having to wait for the catharsis of your breakdowns and rants or the shared jubilation of their victories. see you dudes on the pod but looking forward to what stories unfold this summer and get told by you next season so the LFR fandom can band together for another run. Sorry it ended my friend but I am glad we were all able to share it with you. You suffer and celebrate generously. Thank you

Really enjoy your videos, Steve. I'm not a Leaf fan but I love hearing a passionate and knowledgeable fan talk about their team. Hope the off-season treats you well.

Steve, I found you this season in November streaming the Saturday Games. Thank you for renewing my faith in the Leafs. You are the most entertaining commentator hands down. Thank you for all that you have done for Leafs nation!

Steve secretly showing us his heart rate graphs instead of the views

Steve, it’s always therapeutic to hear what you have to say. Thank you for being there for Leafs Nation!

Huge props Steve. Thank you for your passion. I moved to Canada in 2018 and started cheering for the Leafs because my husband is a huge Leafs fan. I have never enjoyed professional sports before, but since finding your channel (& the Leafs) I have not missed a single LFR or Leafs game (maybe missed a couple games when out of service but always watched your LFRs!). Thank you for your unbridled passion and for helping me find something that truly helps my own mental health, even if the Leafs drive me insane sometimes. Go leafs go!

I live in Sunrise, FL. Been here my entire life. Big Florida Panthers fan. I found your channel right before our series. Your humor, objectivity, and your energy has made me a new subscriber! Love what you do. Keep it up!

People are going to blame the players heavily for this, but from an outside perspective, Keefe is very much at fault. Cooper and Pomo both made him look foolish and outcoached him horribly.

Thanks for another great season of LFR Steve. I came across your channel in the late 2000s when I was just a kid. On top of all the entertainment, it's been incredible to watch you build something so special over the years. Despite whatever changes this organization goes through, I'm just happy we have a Steve!

I'm a Kraken fan but I could not stop rooting for the Leafs. I wanted so badly to see Steve cry for an entire video after a Stanley cup win. My Bruins fan friend and Tampa fan friend did not understand how I could cheer for the Leafs. This man is how. We'll see you next season Steve.

Thank you for a great season and all the hard work you do. I'll be right there with you next season. Whatever the Leafs look like by then.

Steve I can not express how grateful I am to be able to watch your videos.

Steve, you have honestly helped keep this Wings fan's enthusiasm for hockey going during my team's dark days. Thank you for that.

Thanks for another great LFR season!

That you so much Steve for another amazing season of LFR videos!!! Can't wait to see what brings the off season and can't wait to watch them next year!!! Enjoy your summer and GO LEAFS GO!!!

Every team needs a Steve Dangle

Another great season - you are the lifeblood of us fans. Thanks Steve!

Thank you steve for content this year!! Good vibez only this off season lol

Love you dude, thank you for everything this season.

39:05 easily my favorite moment of LFR this season

Steve’s post games have been the catalyst to turning me from loving leafs losses to legitimately rooting for a comeback. Yes the regular losses are fun to watch but the legitimate emotion in these big losses that you can see isn’t just the overly angry character but the fan that’s been so loyal and so let down for so long shows just how much this means to him.

Steve, I started watching during the 2014 playoffs when you are talking about other teams. I hope you keep doing videos through the Stanley cup!

Thank you for your amazing content, Steve! I may not be a true Leafs fan, but I am a hockey fan (and a Steve fan) and was cheering for them along the way hoping you get a few more wins! Hoping next year is your year to celebrate all 16 wins!

Thanks Steve for another therapeutic year of great videos. I don't know how I'd get by without them.

Matthews was closer to the 10th best player in this series than the best. Disappointed would be an understatement in describing his play.

Thanks for another great year of LFR Steve!

Thanks for the fun this year buddy. I’m not even a leaf’s fan but I was hoping they’d come back just so I could see you and the lads on the pod happy.

Thank you Steve for a hell of a ride this season. I watched all playoff games with you and your passion is appreciated.

Thank you Steve for helping us all feel closer to the Leafs on a day-to-day basis, season after season. Your passion and dedication to the team and the rest of us in Leafs Nation is unmatched. Thank you for bringing us all on this journey with you and I cannot wait for next season.

good year steve. cant wait for next. thanks for all your hard work buddy.

Thanks for another great season of LFRs Steve! These videos serve as great catharsis after games like last night. I think we keep the team together one more year - trade Murray, try to re-sign as many of the deadline acquisitions, and refine more next year. Lots to be excited about next season with the performances from Woll and Knies this post season. Can't wait to see them playing a full season. Appreciate your insights and unbridled emotion for our team. Go Leafs Go and see you next season!

Thanks for the season Steve, you made the Leafs second round bearable. Can’t wait to watch LFR’s next season and go on another roller coaster ride with everyone. Thank you for the passion! As always, go Leafs go.

Thanks Steve for all the amazing commentary this year. You strike an excellent balance between optimism and realistic takes. Have a great summer. GLG

You're the man Steve. With us through the highs and the lows

Thanks for all the vids Steve! See you next season!

Stayed up until 4am here in Germany - the sad thing is I really developed hope throughout the game ..

thank you again steve for a great season of LFR!

Steve, you're the best man! Thank you for another great season of LFR. Gonna be very interesting to see what happens to this group. Take care!

Don't comment often, but Steve, you put out great work and I wanted to offer some words to you. As a life-long Panthers fans born and raised in South Florida, any true-blue fan down here looking at things objectively can really empathize with rational Leafs fans such as yourself. Before last season's series win vs. the Caps (and subsequent sweep loss to Tampa), we hadn't won a series in 26 years (I was a literal baby in '96, so it might as well not have happened for me). We watched our state rival Lightning hoist 3 cups during that streak after our lone finals appearance ended in a sweep to a legendary Avs team. We saw other southeast rivals like the Canes win a cup and continually son us on a national stage at every opportunity. And even former players left us for greener pastures and not only had playoff success, but snagged a few rings here and there (Nathan Horton, Jay Bouwmeester, Gregory Campbell, Michael Frolik, etc.). I say all this to preface the fact that we made many of the same mistakes the Leafs are currently making (hyper-focus on offense, holding onto a "sacred core," allowing less shots but higher quality chances due to defensive positioning and transition game, etc.) and learned from them through a turbulent regular season that felt like a dress-rehearsal for this current run that we're on. I genuinely hope for the sake of loyal, level-headed Leafs fans such as yourself and others that you get to experience the joy that this Panthers team has brought myself, my family, and this community during this run. Good luck Steve, hang in there buddy.

I was a teen and saw the Doug Gilmour era when they almost went to the Stanley Cup final in 1993. The team now is much more talent filled but the team in 1993 had players with heart and who were clutch at times. They really did get unlucky that year, they likely would have won the cup had they won that game 7.

Omg 40 minutes… Steve made a Lord of the Rings movie

Thanks Steve. You represent the heart of Leafs Nation. Hope to see you and hear from you for years to come

Steve, thank you for your passion and true love of the game. Sorry it did not work out this season man.

It is interesting how this was pretty much the only series without a a single clear blowout game. Every game was pretty tight.

Oh man. The ending broke my heart. I could feel your disappointment and as happy as I was to see my panthers progress and move on my heart goes out to the fans on the other side. As a lifelong Miami Dolphins fan… I understand a life of disappointment from your favorite team.

Thanks for the videos, see ya next season 😊

Thanks for another great season Steve and the team, I was rootin & tootin for you to win in the East, but maybe next year? Kraken fan here and y'all are my fav fan review channel.

Iam a stars fan, but Iam pretty sure that you made me a part time leaf fan. Being from Europe I find it hard to watch the games, despite having my final exams a heading off to high school in 4 days, I found time to be up till 5am and watch the leafs with my friend and I dont regret a second of it. Thank you Steven

Thank you for another incredibly entertaining season Steve!

Thank You Man for everything!!! Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇨🇦🇫🇮🇨🇦🇫🇮🇨🇦

Steve I really feel for you because you speak from the Heart and every one of your videos podcasts and posts are awesome!

Thanks for a great season Steve! From All of Us

Wouldn't be a hockey fan if I hadn't stumbled upon an LFR video back in 2021. Thank you for that, Steve. Despite the painful loss, there were some genuinely amazing and joyous moments that we can hold close. No matter what the team looks like, we'll be back. Here's to Season 17!

After the crap show injury fest my Avs went through I was really pulling for the Leafs. You guys have suffered long enough. Always kinda been my East team to root for. I will still be pulling for you guys every year (unless we meet in the Finals). Enjoy these videos a ton. Keep up the good work and never lose that fire…

Love you Steve ❤, thanks for the entertainment as always

Thank you for another great season Steve.

Sorry for your loss Steve ❤ At least we get to do it all over again a year from now, I love your podcast and the reaction videos

Thank you Steve. For all that you give. 🙏🏼

First, let me a compliment you on an amazing season of LFR’s, and the podcasts have been great too. I look forward to every LFR, either at the end of the night, or at the beginning of the day after a game. Your knowledge, your assessment of the play, your hilarious expressions, passionate rants and your keen home-boy enthusiasm are so great! This loss tonight, was so extremely frustrating because we came so close to pulling it off. But as you say, we ran out of miracles. And despite the hokey mythology of the United States Olympic hockey team’s “Miracle On Ice”, miracles don’t really win anything. Especially not in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Gutsy hard work, making every shift desperate and tough, leaving nothing in the tank at the end of every game, and elevating your play beyond wherever you think it can go is what wins in the Stanley Cup playoffs. And while there were individuals on the team who did that, and some nights, the entire team did that, the key people who needed to do that every game didn’t. And that’s why our beloved Leafs aren’t playing hockey today. As for your comments about blowing it all up, getting rid of everybody, I’m not sure I agree with you. How long was Ovechkin without a Stanley Cup? How long did Tampa go with their same core before they were successful? I just think it’s amplified in Toronto, because it’s Toronto and our media go crazy. Last night, Paul Maurice, when asked about the pressure to win in the playoffs in Toronto being more so than anywhere else, said “in Toronto that pressure starts at the beginning of Training Camp.” He’s right. No other team in the NHL faces this level of criticism, attention, speculation, expectation, scrutiny and vitriol. And perhaps that takes its toll. Especially on the core. I think the new additions to our team this year at the trade deadline were pretty incredible. It takes time for those adjustments of personnel to settle in and with all the tinkering that was done in the player blender by Sheldon Keefe, perhaps the real chemistry that is possible didn’t have time to establish itself. And Morgan Riley said after the game that he really loves these guys and he wants to stay together. He doesn’t want it to change. It was an honest statement, and I think of all the people on the team, Morgan’s sense of what works and doesn’t must be the strongest. So there’s some food for thought. I hope you have a lovely summer with your family and your dog and life keeps you safe, sound and happy. Thanks again, all the best .🌹

Been watching since LFR 7 or 8, the last LFR of the season is always a bit sad for me. Can’t wait until the next one in October!

You nailed it Steve. The most consistent thing over the last few years has been the financial cost of the core four. Dubas tried every year to move chess pieces and win. But the financial wall he built prevented him from winning a cup. GO LEAFS GO! GO MARLIES GO!

Thanks Steve for great season of recaps/entertainment/insight. Keep up the great work . Sorry about the Leafs.

Keep up the great work! This passer by always enjoy your videos!

Being a leafs fan feels like nothing but disappointment but we always come back every year.

And with that another season of LFR has come to an end, thank you for watching & we’ll see you back again in October until when they lose first round of the playoffs (This year is not going to be the normal); no but fr thanks for this season Steve, it was your best yet, here’s hoping for more from you in the future & your reactions to the Leafs & how they can find ways to torment you

Steve, Thank you for another great season. Your numbers are staggering, at one point you had over 70,000 live viewers for the game. This LFR 24 hours after the game start, shows an average pf 10,000 views per hour. I hope SportsNet will have you do more of the playoffs as you did last year. You are the true picture of a Canadian hockey fan, the average guy next door, with an undying love of his team. Thanks.

Thank you for videos Steve. I'm a Canucks fan who's genuinely become a fan of the Leafs as well, largely in part because of your channel. The passion is contagious.

As a heartbroken Bruins fan, you give voice to my unspeakable feelings.

Dubas got 16 wins as Leafs GM. Over multiple years but he hit 16 this year

Big thanks to Producer Drew and Nick and a huge thanks to Steve, sad to see LFR being done for another season but it was sa great time watching the wins and the losses with you all. Go habs go but love to the Leafs bro

Not a Leafs fan but I come here for the entertainment. Gotta respect Steve’s passion and loyalty.

No Sleep Gang Represent, love you Steve and it sucks as a leafs fan to watch them lose, I was at work while the game was happening, but I always appreciate you for being the unofficial leafs guy, I became a leafs fan right after 04 so all i saw were the horribad years but when I found your channel I would watch your LFRs religiously and as long as you're here I will be too, GO LEAFS GO until next year.

"Why don't any of the things that I love, love me back?" LOL. I'm dying.

Good job Steve. Good luck this off-season

Thank you Steve and the Toronto Maple Leafs for a history making season. It was a fun ride despite the Game 5 loss / elimination. It was nice to see the Leafs finally win a postseason series for the first time since 2004. That 19 year drought is over. Hopefully next year will be better. Canada will always love Steve and the Leafs too. This is it for Leafs videos, thank you all for watching, click like if you like this video, click subscribe if you really liked it, TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!! Have a great summer Steve. You are The GOAT. God Bless.

Have a good summer Steve. Another ride with you, can’t complain brother

Thank you Steve! Leafs Nation appreciates you!

as a new hockey/leafs fan, someone's who's only started watching this year ... man, this sucks. how do you do this every year? im already so attached to this team, i don't want to see it blown up, i can't imagine how it'd be if you've been there since some of these guys were drafted. like gosh darn ... this feels like such a big goodbye, and i just said hello .... it's been a good season tho steve, i've watched every LFR this season, listened to ever podcast since ... idk the california road trip - wrote both of those down on my to do list every week lol, this last LFR also feels like a short goodbye to you, so see you again in october :) - can't wait for the podcast

At liest it wasn't 4-1 in in game 7, that would be such a heartbreak I wouldn't like the leafs anymore. Steve, good luck with the next few weeks and the morning period. Thanks for the great season.

The only part that mattered out of all this "No matter what happens, I'll be right here" - Steve Dangle I'll be right here with you Steve.

Sicko here - great job as always, really like your shows. Best video guy on KZfaq

I'm finally ready to watch this...

Time to have a really difficult and honest conversation about Auston Matthews
