"No don't leave, I 'll yell" lol, awesome.

Watching a relatively chill Steve dangle LFR is unsettling.

Matthews should fall short of 70 goals and stop at 69 Imagine that LFR

I went to this game with my buddy. Both of us are long-time leaf fans, I guess we really got the proper full maple Maple Leafs fan experience 😂

Only 4 shots in the 3rd period is saying a lot during this time.

Leafs fans 🤝 oilers fans STRAIGHT UP NOT HAVING A GOOD TIME TODAY

2nd goal 4th line on, no dman anywhere around the net, Brodie way out there, let's put the blame where blame is due, if you are a defenceman, DEFEND THE NET!

Nylander was depressing tonight

The Lightning beat the Panthers in their most recent meeting, 5-3. I’d still be more afraid of the Lightning than the Panthers, especially their run after acquiring Dumba and Duclair. Those 2 fit right in to the line up. I would not sleep on Tampa Bay.

Steve: "The Jays are the Jays" Me: *laughs in 8-1, then cries in no pennants*

Yesterday's games was a reminder that the cup isn't coming to Canada again lol.

I am looking forward to the start of the season in October 2024!!!! I have no expectations for the playoffs.

at least we put up a good fight with one of the two florida teams

You know what you missed? The last 56 Stanley Cups won by everyone but the Leafs!😂

Stayed up for this one

Why don’t we give jones a shot as backup to Sammy

As a Bolts fan, I wanted to chime in on why the Leafs weren't able to get shots through traffic on Vasy. Long story short, that's a lot easier said than done than it once was. TB used to allow long shots the point at a higher frequency but have recently clamped down hard on those kinds of plays. I think the Bolts are pretty well aware that the only ways Vasy is going to give up goals with regularity are odd-man breaks and facing a ton of shots that he can't see. I don't think the Leafs are the only ones with that information. I think TB just has the book on teams that they know are going to try to do that at this point, and as Steve said, TB was really effective in making sure that didn't happen to them last night against a team that has had success doing that in the past couple playoff series. Have to tip my cap to Reaves on that fight. Not many can hang with Jeannot, much less beat him.

I was at the game tonight, they had a good first period but that’s it after that. Woll really helped them out making a lot of across crease saves to keep them in it. I counted so many times where the leafs have 3 guys attacking the guy with the puck and leaves an open Tampa player all alone in front of the net which cost them this game. As for Matthew’s it’s great he’s scoring but other guys need to contribute and find the back of the net. There is a huge difference from Willy now to Willy before he signed his contract and it’s not good

Reaves was the only player to show up. Bro kicked ass and took names.

Domi tripped him, not Brodie. Benoit was in the picture with McCabe.

Willie didn’t get shut down - he shut himself down. He was in full coasting Willie mode.

I was a little more worked up with this loss to the Lightning than the win against the Panthers... mostly because I thought we were playing Florida on TUESDAY night and completely missed it! 😊

Stupid idea when Marner returns? Domi-Mathews-Marner Bertuzzi-Tavares-Nylander 3rd and 4th lines with the usual suspects. Domi has shown he can be a very good setup man for Matthews in Marners absence. I feel Bert has been slightly more effective on a line with Willie. Thought? Am I out to lunch.

Very frustrating game. Your balanced appraisal of it is very interesting. I now have big doubts about Joseph Woll, whom I really like and appreciate. But 4 goals on first shots in 4 games, and giving up 4 or more goals in every game he’s played recently is very unsettling.

So all we have to do is not force the Leafs to change goalies!!

Youre the best. Wish the Nucks had a fan review anywhere as good as you.

fasinting take, I like it, you're phylosiphy is working for my life long Leaf worridom! Thank you Mr. Dangle!

If I was treliving I would have fired Keefe the second he put that 4th line on the ice for that 2ndgoal.... if they lose in a game 7 where they should have had home ice, im gonna be furious.... down 4pts with 2 games in hand for home ice is not the time for the coach to be dicking around, like wtf

Leafs in playoff form

Tampa fan, and I actually enjoyed watching this.

This is like the third game this season Ive seen with the team taking the delayed penalty touch the puck and it not get blown dead. It happened to the lightning in the same way earlier this year but I don't remember who they were playing. Very odd.

For the first time since the Tucker, Domi era. I feel this team is actually playoff built, there D will hit you every time you cross the blue, theres no easy net front battles anymore. Cant wait for playoffs. LETS GO LEAFS!!!

I love the irony of McCabe making the bad decisions in order to make a big hit. It sounds, and looks, like the sort of plays the last McCabe in a Leafs uniform played like 😂

Matthew’s with the: Shhh” 🤫🔥

And the dman should only ONLY pinch if theres a forward in position to be able to cover you which means the onis is on the dman to be observate and know where your forwards are at ALL times in the o zone

Explain to me like I am 5, why does home ice "advantage" matter for a team that consistently has a better record on the road? Keefe has been out-coached in every series he has ever coached for the Leafs, at this point I think it's advantageous to the Leafs for Keefe to have fewer chances to galaxy brain the lineup.

Steve I'm confused to if I scored on delayed penetly isint it still a power play goal bc it says tampa went 0-3 powerplay

Nylander has 11.5M reasons for lollygagging. His resigning after the surprising first resigning will kill this team for years to come. Minus well give Marner an extension with raise, but will have to part with the deserving Rielly.

Its tradition for me that when the Lightning play the Leafs, I come watch Dangle's reaction, especially if its a Bolt win. You'll never see a more passionate fan than Dangle.

Could you imagine two 100 assist players this season.

4 shots in the third! Enough said.

I’ve waited for this! Thanks Steve

Nylander needs to be benched, all he seems to care about it passing the blue line coughing the puck up and then changing.

How about that devils @ rangers brawl last night? Hope you do a reaction vid. I enjoy your take on hockey.

GO BOLTS ⚡⚡⚡

This was great to listen to. Good points made and fair commentary. Leafs have a difficult division. Looks like the ref missed the additional puck possession by McCabe which led to a goal against.

say what you want about the Jays, I remember them winning back to back world series. I also remember Rocket Ismail and Pinball Clemons winning the Grey Cup for the Argos.

1st goal Steve, it's possession and control

Defence, yep, it was not good enough. Hello from sweden!

I was there at the game and the people my row were all talking about it

agree on the non-stoppage of play - every game has an unexplainable call

The book is outbox Woll- great in close...50/50 from the blue line to the dots.

Elmo vs hat guy next intro \/

It was a pretty blah game at times.. Some moments of excitment. I think Reaves (and his line) played great. I do disagree with Keefe putting him out at important moments, especially vs a 1st line. Nylander looked like crap tonight and Riley looked slow at times as well. After big wins VS Edmonton and FLA, this loss isn't so bad but it didn't look great. Mattthews goal was a beauty but we got lucky with a no-call clear trip on Tampa right before the PowerPlay was given to us.

What do you think about putting jarnkrok as a RHD with Benoit as a 3rd pair

0:43 thank goodness 😅

Are you still going to be live streaming Toronto maple leafs playoffs?

Remember last year’s playoffs Leafs were 1-5 at home but 4-1 on the road, so does it really matter what place they finish?? Playoffs are truly a different animal, but of course the elephant in the room is the Leafs still with this group ( since 16-17 season) has not solved playoff hockey. 1-7 in 8 series says that in flashing red letters. Maybe these guys just don’t have it in them. I suspected this by year 3 of the AM MM Willy era. Prove me wrong Leafs, I so want to be wrong.

and if leafs played in Buffalo be cheaper tickets

Brodie's trip might not have been the call, the penalty graphic on the broadcast said Too Many Men Penelty.

Im glad Reavo had a good game, I enjoy watching him

Do the Elmo voice for 64. Auston needs u.

I'm not sure why Keefe put Woll in for this game but it sure cost em combined with poor defensive plays.

I noticed the mccabe possesion thing as well was so anhry they didnt blow it dead

I'm old enough to remember when the word "fart" was considered vulgar. Get off my lawn!! BTW, I'm wearing white New Balance sneakers as I type this.

Go Bolts!

The Atlantic is a brutal ass division.

Leafs need to hire Dangle!😊

Florida and Tampa, he just scored against them both

Thanks for noticing Tampa is starting to groove at the right time.

Toronto does have a juggernaut sports team. The Toronto Rock box lacrosse team is first in the league with a 12-3 in an 18 game season.

AAAAHHHHH! Steve are you going to talk about Jacob Quillan

You worded it perfectly, it happened so quick that the ref couldnt react, i dont even know if a military sniper could see that

Loved that we beat florida but the Tampa loss adds more pressure that's not needed. Go Leafs!!!

Possession is subjective. Like goalie interference we all see it differently. I'm with you, 2 touches and influence is a fair case for "possession"

I'm at the point now, and have been for a few weeks now, get to the playoffs healthy and then BRING THE NOISE!!!!! GO LEAFS GO!!!!!

Love your thoughts on this game... "not all bad," etc. Could you go further with "winging" . Think of Keefe as a kill-deer (bird with trickster wing habits) protecting the nest, keeping the " eggs" from injury. Maybe playing the refs a little, too. 😂

good call by the way steve.

Why was this game blocked out in Florida

No no, don't turn the video off, I'm still gunna yell😂

With the last game of the regular season being against Tampa, there is a high probability of Toronto dropping to the 7th seed and either playing Boston or Florida (because, let's be honest, NYR are taking the East)

I really felt that "Jays are the Jays" line. Theyre my MLB team and they are without a doubt the most frustrating team Ive cheered for. They really had two great chances to make a run and blew them both

I understand not mentioning the Toronto Rock because they now play out of Hamilton after MLSE ran them out of town with INSANE rental pricing at SBA, but the Argonauts made the CFL semi-finals last year. and the Rock are currently #1 in the NLL at 12-3...the Marlies are in 4th and their magic number is 11 with 7 games left in the season - it's not ALL doom and gloom. I get it though. The CFL, AHL and NLL are "minor" or "niche" sports and are given short shrift...

Appreciate your hard work and dedication Steve!

There should be a dman in front of that net at all times...which dman depends on which side of the ice the pucks on...if its on the right, then the left dman should be there...if its on the left, right dman should be infront of that net at ALL TIMES

I was at this game *for my birthday*. The only highlights of my night were Papi 63 and the Reaves fight (which was an amazing fight). I've been to plenty of games over the years, not like it's my first game. But would be nice if I could count that celebrating something at a game they'd come out and put in a bloody effort. Yes Vasi was great but the Leafs felt flatfooted to me, at least in person, for a lot of the game. The 3rd period was especially pathetic. Also those blown coverage goals... ouch. Happy birthday to me lol. I will admit. Vasilevskiy's full splits save on the back door had me clapping. That was a wild save. Should've been 3-2 there.

If you're shocked jeannot accepted the fight, imagine your surprise when you find out he was the one asking for it.

How many 2 on 1s can you give up in a game?

It's fine I'm not bothered Leafs looked like they were seeing who could do what and analyzing it from there We'll finally have marner back to see how we handle with the core 4 Papi got another and that's pleasing

Wild card! The leafs want the wild card

As far as Toronto sports go, I can’t believe you forgot TFC. They aren’t looking too shabby.

was at this game last night and the issue was theyre overly prioritized with getting matthews to 70. Bertuzzi and Domi weren’t shooting the puck at all and Rielly on the power play was just looking to feed 34 rather than shoot from the point where we know Vasilevskiy struggles… doesn’t make sense

Let’s just get to the playoffs already!

To paraphrase Steve, if you're a defense man, defend. TBs 2nd goal, Point was all by himself in front of Woll. TBs 3rd goal, 2 on 1. Then there was the miscue of Kucherov sneaking in behind the defense. Just sayin'

The most interesting thing about this game was the 3 missed calls on Toronto during their PK lol

It seems to me that Woll is showing a pattern of letting in long shots.

Steve that is the correct answer, hockey we are in the same division as Boston and Tampa two teams that have dominated this past decade in hockey, baseball we have Boston and New York Yankees two teams in baseball that always spend money on top tier players, and again in basket ball you have the Celtics in there division but had LeBron to play against for nearly 2 decades in there confrwnse. Toronto is always going to be in one of the most competitive division because of our proximity to New York and Boston two well established sport cities.

Simce his return from injury Joseph Woll has been average. No bad, just average. Andre was spectacular. That was the difference in the same way during the Leafs/Panthers game ILya was better than Sergei and that was the difference. Those 2 games were evenly played by both teams.

Eef. Rough game, it happens. Played great lately, bounce back in time for playoffs and we’re good

at least the jays and raptors have won championships in recent times.
