The most interesting thing to see is that Steve Dangle started out as a relatively normal human being. Then after years of the Leafs eating away at his soul, he gradually transformed into the high-pitched, utterly insane monster you see today. It shows how easily even the most sane among us can go off the rails, given enough trauma and enough Leaf games. It is definitely happening to me too.

When 3 out of 10 are about game 7's and number 1 is David Ayres.

When he was ranting in "This Team is Ruining My Life" I was able to mouth along to the entire thing and I don't know if I should be proud of that

I bet whenever hockey is officially back, the video Steve will make about that will instantly be in the Top 10.

Haven't even watched, and I'm gonna guess that #1 is gonna feature a Zamboni Driver...... who works for them

14:47 Ah yes...the return of that voice crack. Highest note Dangle has ever hit. 👏🏻

I remember being genuinely concerned that Steve's eyes were gonna pop out of his head at the beginning of the zamboni driver video

My nominee: The one where you summon the hockey demons.

The one that first got my attention can be summed up with one immortal quote: "The Leafs need a new pair of shoes... AND THEY FIRED THE LACES!"

“Actually he works for the Marlies.” “Not better!”

"Do you know how maddening, how sickening, it is as a Leafs fan, to watch Tuukka Rask make a save, they go to the TV panel, and it's Andrew Raycroft breaking it down, and then they shoved the camera up to the Bruins Management box to see their reaction to the whole thing, and John Ferguson Jr. is up there!" ♥ Your favorite Bruins fan :P

"THE LEAFS WON A THING" gets me every time

"Right now, I would happily watch my team lose to a Zamboni driver who works for them again. And I dare not tempt fate, because it's the Toronto Maple Leafs - they just might." Did you have to do this to us, Steven? I just know what's gonna happen immediately the first time the Leafs hit the ice again now :/

When they announced Tavares was coming home, I screamed, ran outside and hugged my dad and sister shouting "WE GOT TAVARES!"

My favourite future video will be the one where you are crying tears of happiness when the Leafs finally win the Stanley Cup again. I'll be bawling my eyes out watching it too

2:15 I can't stop laughing, *IT WAS 4-1!*

I'm so proud of Steve. He's gone from a dude yelling about the Leafs with a Family Guy calendar in the background, to a dude who gets paid to be yelling about the Leafs with nice memorabilia in the background of a basement studio. Except he also can't yell too loud because he has a child now

I want Steve yelling they lost to a zamboni driver as my ringtone

The video about the Leafs signing Lamoriello as GM should be on the list. You were so funny in the intro and how you expressed incredulity at the situation.

My favorite video will be whenever you give hat guy his own one

I still watch your "Phil Kessel: An Era Wasted" video. Pure Awesome

The zamboni driver still remains my favourite meltdown

My favorite video of yours Steve was when the Leafs clinched the playoffs in game 81 against the Penguins back in 2017.

Watching this video makes me feel so old. In my brain it's still like two years since Steve stopped shooting in his bedroom, then I watch this video and there are clips from 2014 in the basement...

I found your channel because the "The Leafs won a thing" video by KZfaq's algorithm around 4 years ago. I've loved your channel since. Love from Michigan

I have the first few minutes of this team is ruining my life memorized. Legendary blowup

I've been watching since the NSH 9-2 video, but my favorite from that season is LFR8 Game 50 vs ARI. Soooooo many amazing lines. I watch it at least once a year and it slays me every year (and I'm a Flyers fan, btw). Love the channel and the podcast.

No one: Steve: this one was a hurricane of emotions

Thank you Steve, Thank you for literally everything you do! Loved this walk down memory lane.

One video that should be there is lfr 10 game 20 demons when they faced the devils. One of my all time favorites

Hey Steve I know how painful it is without watching our beloved leafs. What could ease the pain is ranking the past goalies of our beloved Maple Leafs, like the Potvin, CuJo, Belfour, Reimer, and Anderson eras ?

Will still be wearing my Ayres sweater the first time the Leafs return to PNC. Still miffed I couldn't get him to sign it when he came to town for the Dallas game. Caniac nation loves ya Steve. Never change sir, never change.

In the words of UrinatingTree, "People love misery" I bet you know this especially well

The most iconic dangle vids i feel like I remember all of these

I still think you best reaction was Game 7 of the 19-20 Cup with the "BRAD, what are YOU DOING!?!?!"

VICTORY PUPPIES BECAUSE WE DONT NEED A REASON!!!!!!

It’s funny you mention rabbit hole at the end of this because I actually discovered you during quarantine and really went down the rabbit home, first watching all your dang-its, then your hat tips, your trade trees and finally leafs videos (as a Habs fan, I highly enjoy your meltdowns 😜) I will never tire of watching that video of the time they lost TO A 42 YEAR OLD ZAMBONI DRIVER WHO WORKS FOR THEM!!!

Coming back to this after they lost for a fourth time in a game 7, this time against the habs... and the LFR video for that one would be second most watched I believe.

Was getting my motorcycle license and another Leafs fan happened to be there too when the Tavares news broke out. The other people thought we were nuts and we both started talking about how we couldn't wait for your reaction video. Go Leafs Go!!!

The Leafs have lost Game 7 to Boston so many times I've literally lost count >_>

the gener8ion vid needs more views for sure - that and the live tavares reaction are the most hyped ive been watching your stuff, even though it feels so long ago

The Zamboni Driver one is climbing towards 1 million lol

You just HAD to mention that second Penguins cup.... HOW DO YOU WHISTLE THAT SISSONS GOAL DEAD!?!?! HOW!!!!!!

The loss to Buffalo and you poured beers into the replica cup. Classic.

This was great Steve, thank you

Really surprised "Four" isn't there (the 5-2 loss agains the Sabres). Definitely my favorite video of the bunch.

It's amazing how far Steve has come. We were both in college at the same time and I remember finding this kid on youtube and thinking it was the greatest thing. Since then, we've seen such growth in this guy's life.. he's actually making it in life through all the dedication and hard work in i think high school? and college years.. got the recognition, put in the time.. he's now at Sports Net, wrote a stinking book, is nearly a national celebrity, has been married for over 5 years (i feel like that was yesterday), has a beautiful kid, a beautiful house, and is still taking in that youtube paycheck. And here I am.. a social worker saving money at my parent's house, a girlfriend that may not workout.. and searching. Good for him. May we all strive to have the passion and discipline of Dangle.

Another thing I noticed watching this. The closest to you being remotely calm in one of your top ten videos is bost-stunned. we all love mr yelling screaming hockey guy!

I like it. Never been this early! Love your work man, keep this and the podcast coming!

Thanks, man. Hope you, Mrs. Dangle, and thr VICTORY PUPPIES(!!!!!) all stay safe and, equally as important, stay sane.

I started watching Steve the 2019-2020 season and my favourite LFR so far is December 23rd 8-6 score vs Carolina.

The next gen game from this season is the first leafs game I watched live and then I saw your video....then I just didn’t stop watching your videos, and now I’m a leafs fan. I blame you....also thanks.

The video that got me to subscribe to your channel was after Tyler Bozak's OT goal in Game 3 against the Caps. Your pure joy was awesome to see.

“911 what’s your emergency” “Hi I have a neighbor and it’s nothing but screaming” “What’s the address?” “ 1234 st” “That’s just Steve Dangle - *click*”

For me the turning point in your videos was the Carlyle re signed video where you just seemed to nail anger, frustration and humour. Ever since I think you’ve found your best self in terms of making videos that are always enjoyable.

Steve loved these choice cuts marinated in pain and anger. When hockey comes back and the Leafs win the Cup, you better be rage celebrating cause you crying tears of joy is gonna be * weird*, lol. Cheers!

The third Boston video might honestly be my favourite one of yours I get worked up and emotional watching it even a year later lmao

Meanwhile a Zamboni Driver drove past the rest to #1

The 9-2 Nashville loss video was the reason i subscribed to your channel.

I think I can venture a guess why your most popular Videos are about the Leafs losing. When we are sad after a bad thing, you help us be less sad because you remind us we're not the only ones, and by the time we finish the LFR video, we even understand a little better about WHY we're sad, why the bad thing happened in the first place...and why we'll still be back for the next game. That's right...LFR is the 1-litre tub of Haagen-Dazs we need when the Hockey Gods tell us they just want to be friends because Boston has a better car and a nicer condo.

Some of my favorite Dangle moments that aren’t here: The two videos where you summon hockey demons (successfully, by the way 😳) One Lottery Ball. When McDavid killed the Leafs and Eberle scored his first career hat trick in the same game Ugh. Your reaction to Matthews’ ridiculous wrist shot goal against the Blue Jackets.

Great list...I have to admit, the #1 video is why I'm here...and subbed. I am a bit sad to be able to say that I understand your feelings at the time. It's what it was like to be a Pens fan between the two Cups in the early 90s and their Cup win in 09... trading Jagr for nothing, basically, losing Francis, and pretty much everyone with talent...until they won the right to draft Crosby.

7:35 That cackle gives the Wicked Witch of the West *and* Gruntilda a run for their money! 😂🤣

Awesome thanks steve. Can you do a video of your hockey figures? Been asking for a bit and would really appreciate it.

Clinch has always been my favourite. Best Leaf game in my life, best lfr ever! So much emotion ☺️

the one about david ayers is my favourite

4 years later and I still get the zamboni driver recommended for me on the regular.

I can't say much as I've only been a subscriber for a year or so, but I feel honored to be one of the views on number 1.

This was great. I started watching probably a month before the nashville game and, not being a leafs fan, didn't know they lost 9-2 until the video popped up in my sub box. Hooked ever since

I'm a Nashville guy and the "Nope" video was my first introduction to Steve Dangle. Been an avid viewer ever since.

I was upset after the Zamboni loss and couldn't bring myself to watch your video about it. I spent the next 2 days shouting about it at while my boss, a Montreal fan, had a great many laughs at my expense... despite my telling him to stay away from me, lol

i love your work!

the amount that I could quote along with the video is astronomical

My fav video is still probably the Leafs Oilers game in 2016 when Connor comes back and he talks to his ping pong ball.

One of my personal favorites is LFR10 Game 68, titled Cat Litter. The Leafs played so badly that you wrote an invoice to the Leafs demanding your Tuesday night back (you made your postal code L0L 1967, lol) because you had to watch that trash performance, and the emotional damages that it caused Mrs. Dangle and your dog. It was so subtle that you could have easily missed it if you didn't pause it, but one of the funniest Easter eggs you've ever included in a video. Also, the Dangle Pie episodes that you used to do. You need to bring that gimmick back from time-to-time lmao.

The interesting part about the top 10 is that today, 3 of the top 10 videos are from this past year. Games 4 and 5 of the qualifying round and obviously the zamboni drive game. This just shows how much of a clown car of a season 2019-20 was for the Leafs. Also, the TJ Brodie video almost cracks the top 10.

Today I realized that when he kept saying “a Hurricane of emotions” in this video, he was foreshadowing.

Thanks for the memories Dangle! We will be back and it will be just as if not more awesome. Stay safe in these strange days! 🙌🏽

There are some lfrs that should’ve been in the list. Like the one when Toronto clinch their playoffs spot vs Pittsburgh in 2017, the game 3 win vs the Caps, meeting Auston Matthews parents in 2018 and Tavares return to Long Island/Brooklyn

A few years down the road you need to do the trade tree that involved Edmonton getting Griffin Reinhart for 2 picks. The two picks ended up being Anthony Beauvillier and MATHEW BARZAL! I couldn't imagine seeing Barzal and McDavid on the same line.

The game at Arizona this year surprised me not being on this list. Coach Keefe's first game, Goat socres, Barrie scores, Engvall scores, and Matthews in like the closing seconds of the game. That reaction video I would have thought would have been somewhere up there.

We may never get to see Steve's annual meltdown from losing to Boston this year

is there a chance we can get a 2020 remake of the 4-1 meltdown ?? #10

Other than your video recapping the Kings winning the Cup over the Rangers, Nope and Zamboni Driver are classics!

Surprised that the 8-6 game vs Carolina isn’t on there honestly! One of the most entertaining games I’ve ever watched!

This was great!

God I need hockey so bad

Steve, Jones for hockey is LITERALLY the reason I watch a Leaf fan right now. Also why I found you guys.

2020 Steve did not known that the leaf is going to round two for the first time in 19 years

You embody all leaf fans, and I nervously painfully laugh at your pain cause it is/was my pain. Great videos buddy.

I just keep watching old dang-it videos and hat picks videos just for some hockey content I miss it so much

THE LEAFS WON A THING!!!! I still laugh every time I see this lol

I legitimately shed a real tear watching you react to the John Tavares signing god I miss this team

TY Steve... I was jonsing for hockey but the video helped. Mainly because I had burned the zamboni driver loss out of my brain and now??? Not missing hockey so much

Nah i actually got goosebumps again watching your live reaction to the Tavares signing

Love these

Most of these videos are on my Playlist to introduce you to my friends. Lolllll.

I don’t know how anyone can hate this guy

Thank you! That was fun! So now do a top 10 of Steve Dangle videos where the Leafs won 10 games... haha!
