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.
Clown
@@miken8889 glad you came here to share your job with us
@samael5151 what you just said is the equivalent to I know you are, but what am I? Well, you sir, are the 🤡 Steve's spent more time promoting sports gambling to minors and youth, all for some money, dude doesn't care about the team, just what makes him money, he'll he even says it!!. Once Steve figures.out why he started this, and.gets back to those roots, then he'll have heart, till then, he's just in it for the money now
@@miken8889 lmao alright my dude, you're totally rational. But you know there's a easy thing called just not watching his videos, it's really not that hard it just consists of you not doing something you don't enjoy doing
@samael5151 Thanks tips, I've actually cut back on the videos I watch now cause I'm tired of the gambling advertisement every time. But hey, you keep going, it's almost like you not able to take your own advice, don't interact with things you don't like! The irony of stoopid people
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.
That's flat out brutal.
Marner atleast gave a fuck unlike the other two clowns lol
@@whoreratioin Detroit we say the same thing about the Lions. It doesn’t work, and it has be over 60 years.
You are absolutely right that it is extremely disappointing that players as highly paid as them underperformed. The Leafs will forever make more money than the salary cap allows for, same as the Rangers. The tax rate however will probably always be a blight on the competitiveness of this league that we all love so much. It is one of those intangible differentials that will/can never be fixed.
I remember when leaf fans argued this bum (Mattews) was better than McDavid.
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.
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.
I'm in my 30s. I was enraged at game 3, because for me, that was the moment this team died and the closest opportunity this team will ever have to win a cup in my lifetime died with them
I am stoked to never see the leafs win a cup as long as i live
you love to see it
I'm in my 30's as well and remember Pat Quinn's Leafs. Darcy Tucker, Tie Domi, Mats Sundin, Mogilney. They all made sure opposing players knew who they got their bruises from and which Leaf landed the puck in the back of the net.
No he got to see them win four times
fuck man these punks couldn't even with round 2 for pops.
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
Honestly it's kinda scary
Call back goal should have counted
@@remydirt3158 I think he's resigned to be ready for another few years of Bad Leafs as the rebuild goes back into motion
Its means that is starting to give up on this team.
I call angry steve shouty shouty blue man.
Draisaitl got more goals in 1 game this Round than the "core 4" on Toronto had in this series combined. Inexcusable.
Too busy making TikTok’s
In round 2, Jordan "literally who" Martinook had more points by himself than the Leafs' core four did.
@@LightningNC That's on you for not knowing the *LEGEND* of Jordan Martinook.
@@AscendedXSaiyan I'm trying to speak to the perspective of most of the rest of the league.
If Edmonton wins the cup, then take them serious.
from a Bruins fan who enjoys LFR and the podcast; Thank you, Steve. can't wait for the new season to begin 🙏
I love watching him and ALL Leave fans cry...over and over and over...their losing is my winning!
@@projektkobra2247lol you have no life 😂
Gonna be some good streaming coming up...
@@windwalker5765 damn right bro!!!!
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
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.
I hope he gets to see them win at some point. I like to poke fun but he probably deserves it more than the team at this point. If you're a non fan of hockey, he'll make you a fan. I'm not really a maple leafs fan but I follow them now because of Steve.
I second this. Not a Leafs fan but I want them to win for Steve. He, and many other Leafs fans, would deserve it
Well I’m saying something “Reprehensible” so my comment is getting deleted but in short this guy isn’t a true fan.. If he was he would be going in on these problems YEARS AGO instead of when the writings on the wall.
Just because someone has all the sweaters, action figures etc doesn’t make them a true fan.. Guys the epitome of a bandwagon fan
@SombreSnakePlissken Your comment is the dumbest thing I've ever read.
If Steve Dangle is a band wagon Leaf's fan, I have no idea what you expect a "fan" to even be.
You are insane.
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!
@vegan11yearsbodybuilder I’m an Oilers fan, I just like Steve’s videos and enjoy seeing someone care about something as passionately as Steve. Happy to be the reason hockey in Canada makes more money though 👍🏻
The Leafs do this with the precision and predictability of something NASA would invent.
This was not a great season for the leafs
@vegan11yearsbodybuilder 😊
At least we proved that Woll is the real deal. Looking forward to next year with him!
two games didn't prove that.
This has not even been close to proven.
He was pretty amazing for sure!!!
@@wellyforpm I can tell you didn't watch last night game where he saved over 40 plus shots...
Matt Murray won two Stanley Cups and now he's a 3rd stringer on a team that can't win 6 games in the playoffs. I don't think Woll proved anything yet.
Thanks for another season of content Steve. Enjoy the summer!
Morgan Rielly is the man. Feel the worst for him. You can tell he’s got that dog in him.
Seems like he's the only one.
@@rocker00000 yup.
showed up when it mattered most, should be the next captain. get rid of tavares and matthews, keep willy and mitch other then that blow this team tf up. they are not built for the playoffs. willy and mitch at least showed they have the fight to come up in some big moments, they need other clutch players and playoff performers to show them how it's done. time to build from square one
Well have to hand it to Rielly. After the regular season he had where he was mostly average to mediocre I didn't expect him to turn it up like this in the playoffs.
If he could play like this for the rest of his career it would make him one of the best Leafs defensemen in the team's history. He was a monster and played so well the whole playoffs. He just needs to keep doing that going forward and he'll be remembered as one of the Leafs best all-time players.
It was good and about time. Morgan showed he had game.
This was probably his best hockey in a while . Unfortunately the evaluation of the team has started . It might be a very different team next year and possibly a new home for Morgan
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.
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.
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!
Steve secretly showing us his heart rate graphs instead of the views
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
"Why don't any of the things that I love, love me back?" LOL. I'm dying.
Thank you for another great season of LFR videos! Always look forward to them! See you next year!
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.
Ya he got outcoached but your best players should be able to take over a game and toro toss core sucks ass and never show up to play when it matters or not. Toronto is better off firing everyone trading core players and go into a full rebuild. This team will never win anything it's been six years. Worst leafs team in history.
@@reapered4683 I agree with you, but it's the responsibility of the coach to make the players perform. It's his system, his tactics, and his final say on who plays with who. When the coach doesn't put players in positions to succeed, there's only so much they can do. Even worse on those players when they're typically already struggling against certain teams and styles.
Being outcoached by *POMO* is absolutely inexcusable...and hilarious
@@Wayf4rer bruh, if ur an 11 mil player, score a fucking goal. 2 of these 11 mil players couldn't get ONE. It's the coaches job to make the players perform? The star players are supposed to lead, they do not need to be made to perform.
@Wayfarer these players will never be on a level of mcdavid draisaitl, Mackinnon who can just take over a game regardless of who is coaching or who their linemates are. Those are the players who show up in big moments regardless and do what ever it takes to win.
Steve, it’s always therapeutic to hear what you have to say. Thank you for being there for Leafs Nation!
Thank You Man for everything!!! Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇨🇦🇫🇮🇨🇦🇫🇮🇨🇦
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.
Steve I can not express how grateful I am to be able to watch your videos.
We’re so blessed a 40 minute LFR
That's two whole periods of Hockey, which is more than can be asked of the Leafs apparently.
@@GotFridged haha I think Steve would hit an hour if we lost in game 7 of the cup final in overtime
@vegan11yearsbodybuilder Steve’s LFRs help the pain
$$$
@vegan11yearsbodybuilder I used to think that the nhl wanted to leafs to win. Then I realized we sell out the barn if we suck like the year we got Matthews or even now being good. We’ll always profit the nhl
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!
SoFl panthers fan also, we owe the maple leafs a big thank you.. we were able to advance to round 3 without going thru Tampa...they did a great job handling those Neanderthals..Thanks Toronto.
Love you dude, thank you for everything this season.
Another great season - you are the lifeblood of us fans. Thanks Steve!
Thanks Steve for another therapeutic year of great videos. I don't know how I'd get by without them.
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 I really feel for you because you speak from the Heart and every one of your videos podcasts and posts are awesome!
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!
Oh hey Mat, wasn’t expecting to see you there. Quick question, are most people in P.E.I Leafs fans, or are they split with Habs fans? Love your stuff btw!
Thank you Steve for a hell of a ride this season. I watched all playoff games with you and your passion is appreciated.
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!!!
Thanks for another great LFR season!
39:05 easily my favorite moment of LFR this season
Me too! I go back to that LFR or the short of it pretty often when I need a chuckle - gets me every time
Steve, you have honestly helped keep this Wings fan's enthusiasm for hockey going during my team's dark days. Thank you for that.
Your dark days are like 1 month compared to the leafs. Didnt you win 3 cups in 10 years
@@SlutBurgerWithCheese 97,98,02, and 08. But who's counting:
Fucking shame we didn't get Bedard. I legit thought the hockey gods were gonna smile on us
@josephpotter7776 I wasn't getting my hopes up for that. After dropping constantly I resigned myself to expecting nothing good from the draft lottery.
@@SlutBurgerWithCheese The Wings also went 42 years without winning before that streak to be fair
good year steve. cant wait for next. thanks for all your hard work buddy.
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.
Every team needs a Steve Dangle
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.
Then you see the leafs fans crying about good calls and harassing Florida fans on every CZcams/TikTok video and you remember why you get so happy to see them shit the bed every year
Some people never learn. I cheered for the Leafs for 20 years. When Cujo dumped the team, so did I! From that moment, I joyfully watched them, eventually, become the worst team in the league then watched them massively disappoint their delusional fans year after year after year. I turned my misery into pleasure. Steve can do that, too! lol
@@kja6336 I was never a Leafs hater and wouldn't consider myself one now, but I think back to Michael Peca and Darcy Tucker and I get some satisfaction when the Leafs lose. That was a long time ago for you younger fans, but older viewers may remember.
Thank you steve for content this year!! Good vibez only this off season lol
Thanks for all the vids Steve! 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.
Matthews was closer to the 10th best player in this series than the best. Disappointed would be an understatement in describing his play.
@vegan11yearsbodybuilder They also have Barkov, Ekblad, Tkachuk, Bennett 😏, etc
he's injury prone so maybe he died again. i'm tired of people acting like matthews is mcdavid or mackinnon who can make their own offence. matthews literally doesn't exist without mitch. he's a shot who can play some defence.
@@Krokodilius And his shot isn't what it used to be.
@@biffandhapp418 Arizona is waiting
2 regulation wins in 11 games. Ain’t gonna cut it chief!
Thanks for another great year of LFR Steve!
“We want Florida!!” Lmaoooo 🤣
Thanks Steve for all the amazing commentary this year. You strike an excellent balance between optimism and realistic takes. Have a great summer. GLG
thank you again steve for a great season of LFR!
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 all that you give. 🙏🏼
Thank you for another incredibly entertaining season Steve!
MR NYQUIST!
The goat
Thank you for another great season Steve.
Thanks Steve. You represent the heart of Leafs Nation. Hope to see you and hear from you for years to come
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!
Have a good summer Steve. Another ride with you, can’t complain brother
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.
You're the man Steve. With us through the highs and the lows
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.
Omg 40 minutes… Steve made a Lord of the Rings movie
I just noticed the time as well, jeeeez
Thanks for a great season Steve!
From All of Us
You’re the best Steve. Appreciate you dude
Thanks for the videos, see ya next season 😊
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
Stayed up until 4am here in Germany - the sad thing is I really developed hope throughout the game ..
We always do 🥲
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.
Is this your first year watching hockey?
go shock the world big win tonight for your team
FTL
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!
Love yah Steve, thank you for all you do. Still a season in the right direction
Rewind it to 17:45...
rofl 😂😂😂
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.
Wahoo Go Panthers Go,, ❤
Go Dolphins, fuck the Patriots
L living in Florida
Love you Steve ❤, thanks for the entertainment as always
Thank you Steve! Leafs Nation appreciates you!
It is interesting how this was pretty much the only series without a a single clear blowout game. Every game was pretty tight.
Even if florida won it in 4 it would still have been the closest series of the playoffs. Defensive masterclass from both sides. Or was it shitty offence? We will se vs the canes.
@@FINsoininen master class from the goalie and the post
@@elasmith4218 this series didnt have alot of prime chances either way. But yes, the goalies were good.
theoretically
This a joke? Florida dominated them in every facet of the game but the scoreboard. I never once felt like Florida was out of a game the leafs didnt even deserve to win 1.
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.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They would of played the habs. We all know how that would of went
I agree. The big guys in '93 really stepped it up, played over their heads and provided much more leadership and offense than the top line of today ever did. They had by far a better goaltender in Felix Potvin, who is Steve Dangle's favourite Leaf, and for good reason. They also had one the top checking lines in the league in Bill Berg, Peter Zezel and Mark Osbourne. Wendel Clark and in particular Doug Gilmour, were able to completely take over playoff games, something sorely lacking now ( too little, too late Tavares )!! Last but not least, Pat Burns was leagues ahead of Sheldon Keefe as a coach. I could go on and on. I was proud of those guys in '93. Not proud of these guys at all...they waited far too long to put it all together, and it's inexcusable!!
100% agree that this team lacks the heart. Guys were looking tired left and right.
@@lasttry99 you’re slow huh
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…
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.
Great job Steve as usual. These are the right takes.
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!
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 .🌹
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!
Being a leafs fan feels like nothing but disappointment but we always come back every year.
haha! true, like herpes :)))
We all have serious Stockholm syndrome. No matter how badly they do by us, we keep taking them back each Fall 😪
Blues fan here. It felt like this for my entire life leading up to 2019. Same for my dad.
Don’t lose hope. Keep coming back. Someday, they’re gonna break through and do it and you’re gonna feel better about yourself for sticking with them.
The moment the Blues raised the Cup was one of the best moments of my life lol me and my dad wept openly.
And we had PLENTY of reasons to give up on them.
@@lzrdwzrd999 I used to tell people when they asked what my favorite season was, I would always say I’m a Blues fan, so it’s weird. Hope springs in the fall and hope falls in the spring.
@@myquest666420 trust me I’ll never stop being a leafs fan it does feel like every season ends in disappointment but I love my team no matter what and I’ll always be back every year I know one of these years in my lifetime they will win the cup. my dad was born two years after the last time they won the cup he’s been a leafs fan for 50 years he’s still waiting in a way I almost want them to win more for him than for me.
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 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.
bon voyage traitor
Steve, thank you for your passion and true love of the game. Sorry it did not work out this season man.
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.
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!
I love going back to watch these again lol
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 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.
The only history made here, is the history of futility, and "leaf nation" arrogance. You guys "wanted" Florida. You got em. 🏌🏻♂🏌🏻♂🏌🏻♂🏌🏻♂🏌🏻♂🏌🏻♂

"God" has nothing to do with it, and Canada is much more than Toronto.
Not a Leafs fan but I come here for the entertainment. Gotta respect Steve’s passion and loyalty.
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.
I'm finally ready to watch this...
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
I really enjoy these. Win or lose . The sincerity and the passion is impressive. Been a fan for at least 10 years now. I'm a Kings fan but have been rooting for the Leafs also. I SOOO want you to feel what I felt in 2012. The wonderful joyful feeling of your team finally winning is something I'll never forget and I hope you get to experience soon. It makes all the losing seasons almost bearable. See you next year.
“The definition of insanity is doing the same over and over again expecting a different result” is a very good quote to explain the Leafs this past half decade
by that logic the caps would’ve traded ovi after 13 years of disappointment
@@GG-ng6zm that’s a false equivalency if I’ve ever heard one
@@Supernova2464 it’s the same situation, fans are just impatient
@@GG-ng6zm my dude, comparing a core of 4 is with one player is not equivalent, last I checked Ovi had a least 3 cores around him if not more
@@Supernova2464 there’s no core 4 mathews and marner are the only true superstars, similar to ovi and backstrom. Ovi at this point was still 5 years away from a cup.
Thanks for a wonderful season Steve!
From all of us

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

I can't believe I'm saying this, but we're kinda in the same boat
Have a great summer Steve!
Have a great summer Steve! Your AWESOME!!!!❤
My friend roped me into cheering for the leafs because he did. He showed me your vids, and I’ve been a fan since. And while I don’t watch every Leaf game, I watch all your LFR’s. You practically taught me all I know about hockey, I didn’t know much about it prior or got much into it. Thanks for your hours of optimism, entertainment, and yelling. See you next season :D
Your friend is evil. That's a war crime
