What changes do you think the Leafs need to make? Might make a video with the best / most creative answers 😉

"We don't care about selling jerseys, we care about winning." I'll believe it when I see it.

The fact Shanahan still has a job is ludicrous. MLSE doesn't care about winning, just wringing as much money out of the fans as possible.

This was great. 3 different GMs and a multitude of coaches have taken the heat for Shanahan's decisions over the last 10 years. They have answered all of the questions day in and day out. They have lost their jobs. The fact that Shanahan is still there is shocking.

Woll spraining his back carrying this team is appropriate.

My race car has 4 tires and 20 lug nuts. Imagine if I kept changing my 20 lug nuts over and over hoping for a different result when all the while I needed 4 new tires. That's what the Leafs have been doing for the last few years.

I’m so sick of this “I just got here” nonsense. When new management comes in in most other places the new guy usually goes “I didn’t hire you, I want my own guys that I pick in there” and does sweeping firings in the rest of management.

“We don’t care about selling jerseys.” If only I believed that 😭

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

"Change is coming"....fires a secretary. Tell me you're about the bottom line ($ NOT winning a SC) without telling me you're about the bottom line.

Brendan, its time to go. Anybody can be replaced. The bullshit logic that it would be a bad time to jettison him, due to needing stability, doesn’t stand after ten years of Brendan’s con artistry.😊

As someone who follows the Leafs as my "other team," the Leafs have plenty of talent but collectively have no heart. They don't EXPECT to win; they HOPE they win.

Are Leafs moving to Major League Hockey

How does the phrase go? “What’s the definition of insanity?….”

My biggest takeaway from that press conference is they are saying the right things, whether they do them or not? Who the hell knows. At this point I’m just tired of the excuses, I want to see change. Real change, not just lipstick on the pig.

Just the fact that Shanahan still has a job proves that they are not serious

I’m stealing “poop on velcro” as a phrase now, thanks Steve.

If accountability is on shanahan then why did keefe gets fired

President Brendan Shanahan needs to fire himself because the condition of the Maple Leafs is on him (his own words).

Anybody out there actually think you can install GRIT, GUTS, a WORK ETHIC in a bunch of millionaires??? 😂😂😂

Steve Dangle has spoken... A new hockey league begins

What I have learned of my time wirkung in Marketing IS... Never trust anything someone of Marketing IS saying 😅🤷🏻‍♂️ The decision to keep Shanny IS mindblowing to me. IT Shows you, in my opinion it is Not about Winning... The sentence about "WE are Not here to sell tickets ..." Is just smart marketing

Flyers fans watching this - “Hey! I’ve seen this one!” Maple leafs fans - “what do you mean it’s brand new”

I'm just really unsure of what the point of having a GM is if Shanahan is only going to greenlight moves he wants. Even when Dubas (who everyone apparently hates now) wanted to move off the core, Shanahan not only prevented that but actively worked against it and fired him. When Keefe was wanting different pieces to build a different toolset for utilizing different systems, he was given more of the same. Both Dubas and Keefe had to go, but let's not act like they were getting the moves they were asking for. Shanahan has to go. Don't replace him. Let Treliving go wild and a new coach force a new culture onto this team unimpeded by an overseer. Pelley can make sure the numbers make sense.

I saw a report title that says it all, "We Need Change, Not Empty Words"

"Winning Championships can sell many jerseys" - Homer Simpson

I just wanted to thank you for giving shelter to so many hockey fans out there. I yell and swear illogically at the TV like any other infuriated hockey fan, but my girlfriend says that at least I don't get as worked up as that guy from Toronto. 🤣 You may not know it but you're helping a lot of hockey fans manage their outrage at their teams and officiating, and how their non-hockey fan girlfriends and wives regard them.

From what I saw and heard yesterday, nothing is changing. I'll believe it when I see it.

The Bruins couldn't Move Coyle because who in the world want to pay 5.5 million for a fourth line center. Same goes for Marner, what team would be stupid enough to pay someone 11 million for two 30 goal seasons. The Leafs are stuck with him for the life of his contract, unless they buy him out. The major problem the Leasf have is 52% of their salary cap it tied up in 4 players. So it the 4 players do not produce, there is no supporting cast to back them up.

I think our winning move is adding Nazem Kadri back to the team and letting him and reavo run the 1st line

How long until the premiere of Brendan Shanahan: An Era Wasted?

i don’t even watch press conferences anymore. i get better information from SteveDangle anyway. thanks for the catch up

Leafs management are a bunch of cowards. They don't have the imagination it the courage to make the necessary change

I'm surprised Shanahan is still employed there. It's been 10+ years. His fingerprints are all over this team. His influence has allowed this culture to continue. If he isn't fired, then the Leafs will not move on past the "failures" label that has been put on them, by their own actions.

I recall several identical news conferences from the Maple Leafs in 1984, 1989, 1992, 1993, 1999, 2004 when I stopped being a Leafs fan. 2024 news conference - blah blah blah.

Love you and your content Steve, hope you’re doing well with all the stress of this time of year. : )

FIRE SHANAHAN. The Leafs will do as little as possible to change anything. Keefe is gone: big deal. This is all falling in line for another failure next season. FECKING FIRE SHANAHAN. Are these feckers kidding? This Pelley dude will feck up. FECK UP, MOVE UP, like Dubas. FIRE SHANAHAN. Am I repeating myself?

Brendan Shanahan says the accountability and responsibility is on him, if that were true he would not have a job still. It's up to the fans now. I know fans will continue to go to games so the Maple Leafs front office knows they still get a pass

Great content!

My heart sincerely goes out to you all. Somehow , the nightmare has worsened. Just omg.

Are Leafs moving to Major League Hockey?

I hope the Leafs can extend Domi because I think he deserves it; he plays with a lot of heart on a team that simply lacks it. I also hope they can keep Bertuzzi, he started slow but he gathered steam as the season went along and he's a battler. We need players like that a lot more than we do any of the 'stars' that vanish as soon as the playoffs begin.

This is a better breakdown than the press conference! For 1, we can hear this! Lol

Great coverage!

How many years you been saying this, kid?

Been waiting on change since '14..and realistically since '94..ive been a diehard since 93 and I feel that I will never see a Cup in this city

Great content (from a 75 year old long time Leafs fan in Sotland). Myabe the new voice is giving you more gravitas!

Alright it’s been fun as a bruins fan watching you in shambles the past couple weeks. That’s probably the last vid I watch til we face off again next year so thanks for the laughs!!

Craig Berubie will have Matthews, Marner and especially Nylander crying after he lays into them.

this is like a company I worked 5 yrs for who went thu in 15 yrs I know of, fired 22 managers and 22 supervisors but the regional manager is still there.... and the company is still rotten

Good one, agreed with all your points, thanks for giving voice to the concerns of us Leafs fans.

I had someone point out to me recently that Shanahan probably didn’t fire both Dubas and Keefe last season to keep a scapegoat on hand to buy himself some time.

Brad Treliving talking about hard sexy things is hilarious.

Doing the hard, dirty thing, is FIRING Shanahan. Get it done!

Shanny … it’s on me but Kyle paid the price last year and Sheldon gets that honor this year? Just go in and negotiate a nice golden parachute and move on.

Nothing is changing lol. Mitch won't waive, Willy, Mo and Mathews all just reupped. Its going to be another year of the same before we see changes.

he LEafs do not have to get VALUE back for Marner in a trade .The VALUE is the Cap space that they gain ( a couple of " cant miss" defence prospects and a 1st round pick would do it ) .As long as we waives and you get his cap hit off the books that is the name of the game .The UFA pool this summer is full of guys that have been absolute BEASTS in the playoffs recently ( Montour ,Marchesault,Stamkos ,Reinhart and Toffoli just to name a few ) One or more of these guys on the Leafs could carry them over the playoff hump

If Rod Brind'Amour becomes available i think he would be a great fit with the leafs

I am amazed that the 4 weeks excuse, was used, at that level, you mean when you took the job you didn’t have a vision of what you wanted to do,you were hired as a CEO,

The leafs don't lack the talent or skill. They lack in the intangibles, grinding out the boards to win a puck battle, blocking shots, make players scared to gain the blue line, battle in front of the net. If you're soft in all those areas, the other teams don't hesitate, flinch, or even get worn down, it's high end no contact beer league hockey. Good luck winning a cup with that level of Charmin softness.

Brendan Shanahan is somehow under the same union as Angel Hernandez

Id love if Treliving pulled this one out: Marner to Nasville (if he agrees to, he might, its a promising organization with at least a few good prospects like Askarov) in exchange for Juuse Saros and Dante Fabbro. I think the problem of scoring in the playoffs comes most notably down to coching, but this could fix the blue line and the issues in net. (Saros and Marner are both entering their last year of contract next season which imo makes this trade more doable for both teams)

You know Marner is gona shine once he’s out of Toronto and Austons spotlight

Just watch shanahan get a contract next season after second round.

I told you Steve !!! For the past 2 years I said the Leafs will not win a Stanley Cup until John Tavares is traded.

I enjoy the emotional investment people put into games :)

Can't wait for that 3 on 3 League, lets goooooo

Good vibes since 1959.

Hey Leaf's Fans, I love Dangle's channel too. Just want to share my team channel, Low Quality Bruins Fan, shared a huge thanks to Leaf's Fans in his most recent last vid. Because 99% of Leaf fans were educated and cordial. He shared the difference of the Panther Fans comments in this 2 series. You all made us secondary fans of the Leafs because of you. I know you are looking forward to next season. See you then.

Love ya stever!❤

When the Leafs get a serious coach, I think Auston Matthews will show his true colours.

Steves like " wait a sec , not everyone listens to the pod , opportunity to cover the same topic again and make more cash " Can't blame you papa dangle

Unsexy ... Our skilled players HAVE to play like they ARE going to get hurt. You rock Steve.

Shanahan did a decent job tanking, hiring Lou, and bringing in Babcock (before he went bonkers). It went off the rails when he fired Lou to promote Kyle. Kyle and Babcock were never on the same page, and then Kyle went and got Tavares. I love Tavares but they should have targeted a defenseman or 2. Tavares is a great hockey player, but just didn't gell on this team. Also didn't help that Lou punted Verhaeghe who developed into the greatest all-around hockey player. IMO a better coach will usher in a more defensive style of play that wins. Somehow Toronto will have to get a better defenseman.

Y'all can stop trying to be first. The NSFW bots will beat you to it. 😂

I’m excited for training camp in September. But we have heard some of this before

a no nonsense coach is what we need and I will love to see that man push these talented players to the next level (hopefully)

Is Sheldon about to be announced as the first coach in the history of the MLH?

Thoughts on Shanahan?

I knew Shanahan was sticking around when the 1st round pick wasn’t used at the trade deadline.

Like gour videos Greetings from🇫🇮

I am fully aware Quenville hasn’t been reinstated yet. But why is nobody talking about this guy as an option for the job??

At this point the only way to salvage the Leafs is to completely change the franchise. Name, logo, colors, everything. The heritage of failure is too heavy a curse.

Steve should be the next leafs coach. He knows this team better than anyone.

Shanahan fired. Thats the next headline I want to see.

When are the leafs going to the MLH?

Reillly, Marner, Tavares, Shanahan, and the rest of the coaching staff gotta go

Quenneville!!!! Please!!!!

I wish you would touch on what players will be available more often, who's at the end of their contracts on other teams.

Steve always gets very upset when people in the hockey world don't take accountability for their actions, but he's apparently just going to pretend like he didn't make an entire video that was basically spreading misinformation about a new hockey league. The hypocrisy is insane lmao.

What the Leafs need is to go play in the MLH

What about Joel Quennville?

You know why? Cause MLSE's goal is NOT to have the Leafs win a cup, it's to make money. They look at financial reports and see that the Leafs make a fuck ton of money, and that the ''Core Four'' generates fuck ton of it aswell. They optimize for profitabilty, not to win a championship. That's my take anyways

Steve The Insider is his new title right? 😅Guy fell for a Nigerian prince scam lololol

Yes Shanny the ultimate responsibility IS ON YOU, so Pelley please fire this clown!

How many times have we heard this lol

MLH MLH MLH

On the bright side I've been watching Easton Cowan play in the playoffs and this guy is going to be something special. He can fill a hole on the skill side in the future.

LOVED it

Still not speaking about MLH? Wow.
