Steve, Joe and Jim mentioned that Jordan Staal has four career hat tricks and two of them are against the Leafs. His first one was when he played for the Penguins.
Going back to the 2013-14 season, I distinctly remember a game in which the Canes kicked the Leafs ASS, and Steve absolutely lost his mind on the podcast lol
I (a Canes fan) started watching you because of the video you made about that Infamous Game years ago, and it's fun to be back here full circle. Thanks for the the respect and the laughs man, I'll always love your LFR vids!
I appreciate that he does praise the Hurricanes in this. Often when I watch "The big fan" for other teams, they treat Carolina as only winning because their own team blew it. He at least commends the Canes for having underrated players and quickly adjusting to their opponents.
Canes fan here: I appreciate you so much Steve. I've been watching your videos for about 8 years now and it will never be a normal game between our teams 🤣🤣🤣
Two players in NHL history have scored a hat trick at age 18 and a hat trick at 36. Both players won a Cup with the Penguins. One is Jordan Staal. The other is Jaromir Jagr.
👍🏻 *THANK YOU FOR _NOT_ DISPLAYING THE GAME SCORE IN THE VIDEO TITLE! * 👍🏻 I have to record the games and watch them later at night, but I have to be on TH-cam in the evenings, and normally your LFR video shows up as recommended and so many times I haven't bothered watching the game because you already told me the score (for whatever reason, it just ruins it for me). So tonight I was able to finish my stuff on TH-cam without knowing the score, then go watch the game. So thanks again, for that! 🥳
Being a Leafs fan who lives in North Carolina, I took this game in live. Despite the outcome, it was still a very exciting game to take in live, and actually the way it went down led to some awesome fan interactions with the non-leaf-fan locals. Not great for the points total, but still great value for money.
Staal is used as an extra defenseman, which is why Rod usually puts his line out against other teams top players. It's also why Rod likes him as a captain for the team, Rod likes his forwards to have strong defense so their leader should be a hard working defensive forward.
Steve,... you ànd your fellow Leafs fans are in 1st place in the division,.. your team had won 5 straight...meanwhile my Bolts had been losing to crap teams like the sharks and ducks out west...You and all of LFR should feel BLESSED brother, the Leafs other than this game are looking great. Feel good about things Steve. Your Argos won the Grey Cup in the CFL, your team looks (and more importantly feels) to have turned the corner, (you guys keep beating my Bolts and nicely beating those Boston clowns butts). Feel BLESSED Steve. Happy New Year btw bud. Take care.
Thank you Steve, as Canes fan who watches you semi regular and watches all the podcasts: Canes realyl needed this game, we have been strugling a lot this season and this was feel good game
Story time! A Bostonian and Carolinian meet each other at a bar, they aren’t too fond of each other at first, but then they remember one thing to bring them together, the fact that they both own the Leafs, they share a beer as means of celebrating their newfound friendship. As a Leafs fan, the trauma Carolina’s inflicted on me is underrated.
David Ayres has reportedly signed over all of the Leafs' birth certificates he originally acquired as a Hurricanes EBUG, and Staal has signed the adoption paperwork. Now Staal is officially their Dad.
The Boston ownership is up for renewal this year… they’re thinking of not renewing as it’s getting too expensive. Carolina’s contract is good for another year or two.
10:17 To be fair, Fargo, North Dakota is less than an 8 hour drive from Thunder Bay. The only major Canadian City closer to Fargo than Thunder Bay is Winnipeg. 😊
@ Sure, just check out a map and google the distances. Fargo to Thunder Bay, Ontario (pop. 111K) is 7h 38 minutes. Fargo to Winnipeg, Manitoba (pop. 783K) is 3h 33 minutes. Fargo to Regina, Saskatchewan (pop. 242K) is 8h 14 minutes. Those are the three closest Canadian cities to Fargo of 100,000 population or more. (Canada has 60 cities with 100K or more people) Fun fact: Thunder Bay has produced more NHL players (per capita) than any other city/town in the world. When I was a kid, (50 years ago) Thunder Bay had seven indoor arenas and 100 city-run outdoor rinks every winter. Thunder Bay now has 12 sheets of indoor ice. (But not nearly so many outdoor rinks anymore. 😢)
The one wasn’t there fault if OEL was on his normal side that shot wouldn’t have even got through . The 1st goal was unlucky it literally hit the back of a player , no one knew were it was until it was in back of net . But yeah that line wasn’t very good , let’s just hope it was one of those nights . Can’t be good every game , and the last few games since am came back that line us literally won us games
Steve, you are the reason why I, a Stars fan, have been yelling "that's what happens when you GO TO THE NET" during the last few Dallas games where there's been an uptick in doorstep deflection/rebound goals. Thank you for your influence.
Yes, in fact, it’s a running bit on this channel. His name is David Ayers (pronounced “a-ers”) and he’s even referenced with a pun in the title of this video, “AYERS JORDON” If you’re that new, then we forgive you, sorta.😂
SoDak Caniac here.... Hey Steve, keep an eye on Staal tomorrow against Vancouver and Sunday against Anaheim. His brother Eric's jersey is being retired Sunday in Carolina. I got a feeling he gonna go off. Let's Go Canes.
How did I know Carolina was gonna play like a genuinely decently good game in a month and a half against the leafs and make me completely rethink my entire understanding of my canes team. Never normal games vs the leafs
That is a weird take from both of you, As a TB Lightning fan, I can easily see your Leafs and Washington battling it out in the ECF for the right to play for the Cup THIS YEAR. Your new coach has you guys looking and feeling different this year. I know the past nearly 60 years has been rough, but honestly,....I haven't seen you guys look this consistently good in a LONG ass time. I mean you guys have lost ONCE in 6 games..C'mon guys ebbs and flows of a season are expected and 1 loss shouldn't have you this upset.
@@mdd3084 I agree, I'm a Leafs' fan. They are playing a good defensive system which was the way the Leafs have won 10 cups in their history in that fashion. You have a stinker once in a while, and this was one of them. Everyone is panicking way too much.
Woke up to find out the leafs lost when I fell asleep they were up 2-0. Woke up to find Steve freaking out over the L they took. Woke up to a good day.
Somewhat (maybe?) observation that Steve missed is that the game on Saturday vs the Canucks.... for both the Leafs and the Canucks, the last team they played against was the Canes (Canucks v Canes is tonight)
TML win or loss, the LFR always makes me laugh. Humorous? Yes. The LFR also offers excellent game reviews and insight.You clearly know hockey Dangle. Keep up the good work.
Possibility for the Jailbreak response: Restraining fouls (hook trip hold etc) = 2 min minor with jailbreak Aggressive fouls (boarding x- check etc) = 2 min MAJOR with NO Jailbreak Majors and above stay the same That way, the incentive to reduce the injury potential plays is increased, and they can try out the increased scoring from the talk about bringing back the 2 min major while also having the excitement about a Jailbreak.
Jailbreak rule would increase the intensity in powerplay and penalty killing. Punishes slack ass powerplays like the leafs who spend half the PP trying to get past the neutral zone with the puck still on their stick.
last year though January the Carolina Hurricanes had a higher conversion rate on the PK than on the PP(meaning percentage-wise they were scoring more while down a man than up a man) so I can think if at least one team that would like the PWHL's rule
Woll didn’t have his usual spectacular night but you can’t really blame him, other than maybe the 5-hole goal. The rest were deflections or screens. That’s on the team - not the goaltender.
Yay, those were the Leafs that we know all too well, I knew they would show up eventually!! Blown leads, short handed goals against, missed breakaways, goalied, etc. Remember the infamous David Ayers game?
leafs could have won 4-3 if nylander didnt hit post one of his brake aways. 1st period was a great fast pace with nylander skating on a higher level. Kinda looks like there are only 3 teams in the way of leafs winning the cup.
A healthy roster we can beat them no problem . Our D wasn’t great tonight we really missed McCabe tonight . I don’t think anyone gives leafs problems on this side but Florida and maybe the capitals.
This dude is fun. Rod thought about starting David Ayers in goal, but thought that would be too cruel. Btw, the only adjustment was slapping Orlov and Chatfield in the face to wake them up.
Don't forget when Dallas won the Stanley Cup, Nieuwendyk won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, and ALSO got enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame. The ends justify the means in this case.
i kinda like the jailbreak rule. if something is major enough that it needs more punishment, call it a 5 minute major, or a double minor and don’t apply the jailbreak there.
Can we at least be thankful that the leafs lost this game and the canes goalie *_wasn’t a Zamboni driver?_* That works for the leafs… That has no NHL experience whatsoever? Let us be thankful, oh Great hockey gods 😊
how was matthews -6? did they like change how +/- work? carolina only scored 6 goals but matthews was not only on the ice for 1 goal but scored 1 so wouldnt that technically be -5 or am i just not understanding it correctly.
I don't think the player should come back at all if they took a penalty... However I do like the idea that whatever team takes the penalty it works like icing where the other 4 have to take the next faceoff. It may hopefully add an extra deterrent to people taking penalties in general
Joe Niuwendyk was supremely underrated and my personal fav player of all time. If he never messed up his knee, his stats would have been soo much better. His first 2 seasons were 50g close to 100p before he knee went a d he changed his play style. Went on to win cups in every city he played in untill he got to Toronto sadly enough. He even has a playoff mvp under his belt and an R.O.T.Y. not bad for a dude with a shattered knee cap.
Well, the jailbreak thing is good. BUT they should allow the team with the power play to play for 2 minutes regardless of how many goals they score. They have tried this in the Champions hockey league in Europe, and it´s fun! They also have the jailbreak rule.
So, as someone who watches a lot of PWHL games, here's what I would say about the jailbreak rule: -Your criticism of it is based on the idea that a penalty is a punishment for the player who committed the infraction, which is only kind of true, but not really. Like, you know the bit in "Slapshot" where the French-Canadian guy is like "then you sit in the box and feel shame"? It's funny because the idea that a hockey player actually feels bad about taking a penalty is ludicrous. I certainly don't think it's ever stopped a player from committing more penalties. A penalty is primarily a punishment for their TEAM, by putting them in a disadvantageous position. And if the team is able to rise above that and actually score a goal the other way, then what is accomplished by keeping the player in the box? -Another way of thinking about it (credit to whichever TH-cam commenter it was who said it): the jailbreak isn't a reward for the team on the PK, but a punishment for the team on the power play. If you're incompetent enough to get scored on shorthanded, you don't deserve to have the rest of the power play. -As for "what if it's a dangerous play": if it's egregious enough, then it's a major penalty, which the jailbreak doesn't apply to; it it isn't, then there's no reason to treat one type of penalty as different from another. If they're both 2-minute penalties, then boarding is equivalent to sending the puck over the glass. Also, you could make this same argument in reverse: what if it's a ridiculously soft call? What if the ref missed a clear dive? Does the player have to sit there for the whole 2 minutes because of some BS, even when their team scores? -As much as people talk about the jailbreak goals, they're actually very rare. This season in the PWHL, of the 134 goals scored so far, the number of shorthanded goals was *4*, less than 3%, compared to 29 power play goals, which is a little more than 21%. The numbers for the NHL are similar over a larger sample size (it's actually slightly lower for both). So, like, why even argue about something that rarely even happens?
So Staal was like his fam name suggests like “steel” against the Leafs (again 😞) and I’m starting to wonder if the hefty sum of 💰 💰 #16+#34 starts to get stale… Which line could Marner carry and would Domi be good with Matthews again as a passer like last season? Any thoughts 💭?
As a Canes fan it's always bothered me a little that the Zamboni driver game is one of the very few, if not only, videos where you don't list the opponent and score. Or at least you used to list the score, but the last few games haven't done that? What made that change? Heck you don't even say in the Ayres video it was against Carolina :(
Steve mentioned in a recent video that they were tinkering with the title format, and that they had received a few complaints about the title spoiling the result of the game for some people. Personally I don't get people who want to watch the game afterwards thinking they can go online (especially on TH-cam) and avoid the result, but whatever. Try new things and if they don't work, so be it.
Giving the leafs a pass here as they were do for a loss . Defensively this may have been our worst game . OEL was on his off wing , a guy did a little deke to his right and he went by Oel like nothing , and scored . Matthews’s line was on for all goals . You could really see the defects when one of our main D man is out in McCabe . We gotta bounce back Saturday.
Is Morgan Reilly drunk? No. Seriously this guy is a pylon out there every night. Chris Tanev +13 -- Reilly minus 13. I know Toronto loves a defense whipping boy. I see you Justin Holl. However, the numbers do not lie, nor does the eye test. This guy needs to be healthy scratched. Has not been good enough for a very long time. Kinda looks like Ricky out there.
Steve, Joe and Jim mentioned that Jordan Staal has four career hat tricks and two of them are against the Leafs. His first one was when he played for the Penguins.
Canes fan who also loves the leafs due to finding Steve 7-8 years ago….. we can NEVER EVER have a normal game against each other.

My favourite player while growing up was Jaromir Jagr.

Never seen a single line be responsible for all opposing goals like that.

Please. Never. Change. That. Transition. 🤣🤣🤣
was at the game. have never been so hype at the start. never been more defeated in that 17 second span afterwards
Ah yes, a callback to a bygone era.
What do you mean it hasnt ended yet?
Like the new title format 👍
I am in Australia 🇦🇺 for three weeks. I keep up watching LFR. Thanks buddy.
Didn’t you lose 6-3 to the Hurricanes back in 2020 when their Carolina’s emergency goalie was a Zamboni Driver? Don’t hate me I’m new to hockey.
Yes, it was the Leafs zamboni driver too. The Hurricanes beat the Leafs with their own employee
Go Canes
40-year-old Zamboni driver
Who works for them

Marner seemed to be on the ice for every goal. Clearly missing his checks in the defensive zone. An early preview of the playoffs.
As a Leafs fan for 55+ years (I'm old), I still feel I will die before this team wins another Cup.
45 y/o right behind ya bud. Laffs man... It's Stockholm syndrome.

Sometimes I watch the highlights to find out the game decision so I like that you don’t post the score on the title
Forgot to mention that Nieuwendyk also won the Conn Smythe the stars cup year as well, even more so that makes that trade great and the exception
You don't waste any more assets on this core. If the D and the Goal has improved and you still get crushed by solid teams, IT'S THE CORE.

i meant, according to history, he has a 888% or somethin on 1 day.
I only have 2 leafs on my fantasy squad. One of them is JT. The other gave up 5 goals last night.

I like that amendment to the jailbreak rule actually, feel like it merges the two ideas perfectly
Every game against this team is a barn burner
Don't forget when Dallas won the Stanley Cup, Nieuwendyk won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, and ALSO got enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame. The ends justify the means in this case.
Every team has a night. The Islanders beat Vegas tonight! No need to panic, on to the next game Saturday.
The panic some are showing is really foolish. It's a January game, I'll take a stinker there, then in April-May-June.
i kinda like the jailbreak rule. if something is major enough that it needs more punishment, call it a 5 minute major, or a double minor and don’t apply the jailbreak there.
15:44 Burkie checked with Gary Bettman, says they’re only giving out one cup this year 😂
My powerplay goal rule is that teams have to kill off the full two minutes no matter how many goals are scored on the powerplay.
Canes v Leafs is always silly
Im gonna park this video next to the Zamboni game video. 😂
woot woot no offense Adam Steve on Saturday..... You guys are great
Can we at least be thankful that the leafs lost this game and the canes goalie *_wasn’t a Zamboni driver?_* That works for the leafs… That has no NHL experience whatsoever? Let us be thankful, oh Great hockey gods 😊

Staal always plays well against Toronto . He had only scored 5 goals all season until he got half his total in one game against us.
I thought Woll made some pretty good stops last night. Score could have been a lot worse.
Wait you're allowed to score on the power play? I didn't know that
Its always the Carolina games.. and the blues games.. and the Chicago games.. and the Buffalo games...... and the leafs games 😂
As a fellow Thunder Bay lad, we do grow excellent hockey talent... Not me I'm terrible.

A penalty is primarily a punishment for their TEAM, by putting them in a disadvantageous position. And if the team is able to rise above that and actually score a goal the other way, then what is accomplished by keeping the player in the box?
-Another way of thinking about it (credit to whichever TH-cam commenter it was who said it): the jailbreak isn't a reward for the team on the PK, but a punishment for the team on the power play. If you're incompetent enough to get scored on shorthanded, you don't deserve to have the rest of the power play.
-As for "what if it's a dangerous play": if it's egregious enough, then it's a major penalty, which the jailbreak doesn't apply to; it it isn't, then there's no reason to treat one type of penalty as different from another. If they're both 2-minute penalties, then boarding is equivalent to sending the puck over the glass. Also, you could make this same argument in reverse: what if it's a ridiculously soft call? What if the ref missed a clear dive? Does the player have to sit there for the whole 2 minutes because of some BS, even when their team scores?
-As much as people talk about the jailbreak goals, they're actually very rare. This season in the PWHL, of the 134 goals scored so far, the number of shorthanded goals was *4*, less than 3%, compared to 29 power play goals, which is a little more than 21%. The numbers for the NHL are similar over a larger sample size (it's actually slightly lower for both). So, like, why even argue about something that rarely even happens?
So Staal was like his fam name suggests like “steel” against the Leafs (again 😞) and I’m starting to wonder if the hefty sum of 💰 💰 #16+#34 starts to get stale…
Which line could Marner carry and would Domi be good with Matthews again as a passer like last season? Any thoughts 💭?
According to Hockey Reference, Jordan Staal has played 50 games in his career against the Leafs.
Day one of approving the new title format.
As a Canes fan it's always bothered me a little that the Zamboni driver game is one of the very few, if not only, videos where you don't list the opponent and score.
Or at least you used to list the score, but the last few games haven't done that? What made that change?
Heck you don't even say in the Ayres video it was against Carolina :(
Steve mentioned in a recent video that they were tinkering with the title format, and that they had received a few complaints about the title spoiling the result of the game for some people. Personally I don't get people who want to watch the game afterwards thinking they can go online (especially on TH-cam) and avoid the result, but whatever. Try new things and if they don't work, so be it.
Woll had 5 goals against. Marner and Matthews were on the ice for 6 goals against
Simple question, what’s going on with revo!? Why no fights half way into the season.. it doesn’t math to me
Did the team get the poops between periods again like last year?
I swear to god, I thought he was going to say 38-year old Zamboni Driver who works for them.
THE AYRES GAME WAS 5 YEARS AGO?! I don’t know why hearing that was so shocking
Giving the leafs a pass here as they were do for a loss . Defensively this may have been our worst game . OEL was on his off wing , a guy did a little deke to his right and he went by Oel like nothing , and scored . Matthews’s line was on for all goals . You could really see the defects when one of our main D man is out in McCabe . We gotta bounce back Saturday.
Seth Jarvis was draft pic that the leafs gave the Canes to unload Marleau's stupid contract
Is Morgan Reilly drunk? No. Seriously this guy is a pylon out there every night. Chris Tanev +13 -- Reilly minus 13. I know Toronto loves a defense whipping boy. I see you Justin Holl. However, the numbers do not lie, nor does the eye test. This guy needs to be healthy scratched. Has not been good enough for a very long time. Kinda looks like Ricky out there.
I'm warming up to this new title format but I just ask one thing, put the game number after LFR18. It looks weird at the end
Even good teams loose games sometimes.
It's 82 games.
Atleast they didn't use a zambony driver this time to win.
Marner seeing that +5 against the bruins and saying he’ll do ya one better
5:09 As a Canes fan, preach.
Damn. Now that Ovi has a cup, I think we have to promote iginla to the title of “best skater to never win a cup”.
