If I had been running a channel during the 2011 Final when Vancouver choked, I definitely would have raised my voice plenty. 2009 and 2010 when they played Chicago would have been kind of screamy too. Oh and 2003 against Minnesota.... So much failure...
the falcons made it to the championship game. the leafs haven't made the finals since the league had 6 teams. it now has 32. the falcons won playoff rounds. the leafs haven't done that since 2004. fun fact, between the 04-05 and 12-13 lockouts, the leafs were the only team not to make the playoffs.

I found Steve’s TH-cam channel after the 2013 Game 7.... I am honestly now very worried for him. Steve if you do decide to discontinue LFR I hope that you will continue to comment on other hockey teams and other hockey games. You have so much knowledge that can be shared. You have the best hockey channel on TH-cam. It can’t be lost to the world because of the Leafs.
As a habs fan, let me say that I would still tune in even if you didn’t do LFR’s. You are incredibly genuine and entertaining, so do what you wanna do man. I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say we are sticking around.

Chicago Cubs fan here-I never thought the Cubs would win a World Series in my lifetime.

Steve is the one getting much of Leafs Nation through never ending embarassments from this team. 🙁 🙁 🙁 Just once I would like this team to PLAY LIKE A CONTENDER that they claim to be and make their fans believe that they're an actual kickass team that other teams need to be afraid of. I haven't felt that feeling in decades now. 😢😢😢
As a Habs fan - I watch this every day. I actually pitied Toronto..... which is sad. Look at it this way, Montreal shut down every top line in June - T.O. was just the first. Not haunted, just increasingly overmatched and out coached.
As a Leafs fan, personally I hope they loose cause there needs to be a major overhaul of the organization, starting with the two geniuses at the top and dumping a few of those top players
@@pt1125 that's interesting. You'd figure with such talent and how they steamrolled the north this year Leafs fans would be happier. But another rough first round seems to be bringing up old memories. I hope you guys win, just so you all can take a deep breath and say "it's over" Though I don't give you much chance beyond that. Definitely need some more D next year
@@simplyskrypt3914 hey, at least they have a 1993 to go back to! I’d gladly trade family members and body parts to have a 1993 Cup to revisit as a Leafs fan!
"What would you change?" Honestly, at this point, the one thing I would change is ever becoming a Leafs fan. I've never been so close to crying during a hockey game before this. Being a Leafs fan is like being in a toxic relationship. Being a Leafs fan is setting yourself up for disappointment and heartbreak. At this point, man, i'm angry and sad and all of the above and I know there's no point. I had this underlying numbness and lack of hope settling in my heart as soon as Montréal scored those 2 goals in the first. I can't even begin to explain how frustrated and depressed I am because of this. I've dedicated all my life to this team. It's a toxic and vicious cycle of loyalty and commitment that I can't help but feel will only lead to being disappointed over and over again. I don't know whether these feeling's are towards this hockey team, or myself for still blindly believing in this hockey team. I'm just so tired.
Honestly couldn't have said it better myself, I've been a leafs fan for as long as I can remember, but honestly, this constant let down, this constant false hope from being up 3-1 in a series and still being eliminated, it drains u man, it really does, honestly I don't even wanna watch game 7, cuz in my head, I know what's gonna happen
As a Winnipeg boy growing up with no NHL team, I cheered for the Leafs as they were usually the team CBC would cover on Saturdays. The second they announced the Jets were getting a team back I dropped the Leafs like a bad habit. Haven't missed them for a moment. I'll make you a guarantee, the Leafs will never win a Stanley Cup again. Yes technically you can argue they have a chance every season, but I'm telling you this now as honestly as I can. It's NEVER going to happen. This isn't like the Red Sox, this isn't like the Cubs, this isn't like the Cavaliers, this isn't like Liverpool FC. The Leafs are cursed in a way beyond any franchise in pro sports and it's going to stay that way for the rest of our lives and the lives that come after. As soon as you make peace with this, the sooner you'll be able to heal.
He might keep the blue room but turn it into a non-LFR thing. Which would suck in a way because Steve is known for that. I watch some of his videos because I feel it's time for the Leafs to win something (even a round to start)
In the end of the day thought it's still only just a game. If he really dosen't have any bigger problems in life then the Leafs losing another game 7, he'll be just fine lol.
_Habs try to throw away leads in successive elimination games_ Leafs: oh you wanna play that game? NOBODY out chokes us! _proceed to give away terrible OT winners by doing figure skating things_
@@wagglewiggle I mean in OT he was a fucking god. Habs's defense couldnt even touch the puck yet they survived more than 10 minutes without giving a goal, its crazy
I'm a Lightning fan who loves your channel, you bring passion and can credit opposing teams because you can be objective in spite of your Leafs fandom, which is refreshing. Don't risk your health over the performance of any sports team. Toronto has to want it more, they have to win the puck battles and let Montreal know they are there, check the body, play physical. They have the talent, it's the will and desire that makes the difference. Game seven should be epic.
The leafs have driven Steve so crazy that his beard is starting to turn grey. Edit he's finally snapped the leafs have finally broke him and I mean it this time
The shoutout to THG was great.. that man is great at what he does and he’s a Canucks fan(his man team) so I’m sure he would have lost his mind a long time ago lol
I can’t imagine what he’s going through. He’s cheered for this team his entire life and they fail, again and again. The pieces are there, the management is there. It just falls apart no matter what they do. Be well Steve, I do hope you take care of yourself.
@@ObtuseMoose still harder being a leafs fan. Who knows how much bigger our fan base is. I would easily argue expectations for this team are far bigger than the panthers right now as well
@@dominiquerichard1342 The Leafs haven't won a playoff series since 2004, but they have nothing on the Panthers. They haven't won one since that cup appearance in 1996.
Man, I am anti-leafs but I feel your pain so much. That heartbreak and emotion from you is how much I feel for the Oilers and the Decade+ of darkness. You have Matthews and the Richard, we have McDavid and everything else. After watching this video though, I'm actually hoping for the Leafs next game, and I never thought I'd say that, because of how much I like and respect you.
no wonder you feel a kinship. your teams have the same problem: your skill players have no grit. at least nurse gave a shit. but you're worse off, as your starting goalie is 39. maybe you can sign andersen, he's a huge upgrade on koskinen. you're toronto, but worse.
Visiting this TH-camr is my guilty pleasure. I think it says something bad about me that I enjoyed every second of that ...oh, yeah, Montrealer here... I used to live in Toronto and I loved it, too. Nice town. Basketcase hockey team. And fans.
They lose Monday and you change everything. Dubas, fired. Keefe and staff, fired. Shanahan, Fired. Marner, Traded. Matthews, Traded. Nylander, Traded, Reilly, trader, Dermott, let go to Kraken. Start from ground zero. How much worse can it get, than to lose the the worst team to make the playoffs in decades, in a season you never played a single top 10 team.
I’ve always been entertained by every Leaf fan I’ve come across in my life. You’re a typical Leaf fan, very cautious, overly optimistic, co-writers of Murphy’s Law and the most put upon of all fans. New season = Repeat. You know what they say about someone who repeats something that continuously fails. Like I said, very entertaining and I enjoy your channel. 👍🏼
I like Bieska’s insight, but don really remember him a a special player. Go on CBC HNIC and your an expert. Who the hell is Anthony Stewart too. 4th liner on what teams
I just want to let Steve know that he is super cathartic to watch after these games. I know you are suffering with this team Steve, but you really are making some of us feel a bit better, incase that means anything. Don't let yourself feel too down man.
Hey Steve, you probably won’t see this but the rage you take out on this team, truly relieves some of our stress. I’ve watched every single game for the past 9 years of my life and don’t think there has been a lower moment than this. Please like this so Steve can know.
i have to disagree with the lowest point. game 7 against boston up 4-1 takes the cake for me. we literally won the game but the leafs were determined to lose
@@Matt-bh6yp We weren’t favoured and didn’t have home ice in that series. Yes we had the lead in game 7 but we had a series lead of 3-1 this year and choked 3 straight games. Not just the last half of a period. Convinced? :)
Mr. Dangle. I understand this won't mean much, BUT, there are Sparks of hope. I think that your haunted comment was bang on. Look I'm a Avs fan & while our history isn't as profound as the Leafs I really think you have a lot to look forward to. I really really do. No joke. In my humble opinion I think the Leaf's are just a couple of bounces away from greatness. They need to get out of their own heads. That's it. Easier said than done. Just win baby. They can do it. I guarantee it.
I think Steve nailed it when he said this team is simply 'Haunted'. Staff changes. Players change. Same result. Same feel. No finish. No killer instinct.
Not really..... y’all have had the same 11 mil players for what 5 years now? They’re the issue. They’re not getting paid can do money, they’re being paid maybe money. You need to ship out one or two of the core pieces for can do players. Y’all shipped out your last great can do player in Kessel, just you didn’t surround him with other players to assist him like you did with Mathews. Funny how the fans chase players out of Toronto and then they play ten fold better out of the franchise. Keefe needs to go, you need a trotz!
Problem is the template for the team...Dubas fault keeps doubling down on a failure of a blueprint he built a team that does well in reg season but no heart for playoffs
As much as I laugh at the leafs sometimes as a bruins fan this team passes me off. With the off-season they had and the roster on paper tells me this team should at least make it to the second round in the playoffs. It's getting ridiculous and I'm saying this as a BRUINS FAN I hope steve finds more then peace in after next game cuz steve (and also leaf fans in general) need it.
Thank you, Steve, for once again PERFECTLY articulating EXACTLY how every Leaf fan feels this morning. Please don't give up on LFR. It's every Leaf fan's therapy...mine included.
Even as a Habs fan I thought Leafs in 6 at start of series. Leafs have had 2 chances to put away Montreal. Anything can happen tomorrow in Game 7. Price is in beast mode & his numbers are insane in elimination games
Jesperi Kotkaniemi, who wears jersey #15, just played in his 15th playoff game. He scored the winning goal at exactly 15 minutes 15 seconds of overtime, ending his night with a TOI of exactly 15 minutes.....im a habs fan but gotta admit yeah they got the habs ghosts playing a little trick here so yeah steve....they indeed were haunted that night
To be honest Steve, I’ll follow any content you do, if moving to more broad content will let you be happier and have more creative freedom, then I’m all here for it.
When you talk about branching out to reach a wider audience, I feel like you should know that I for one am a Penguins fan and watch every single one of your LFRs. I have no real vested interest in the Leafs, but I've yet to find anyone who does what you do for my team or any other team and as such, I'm here regardless of which team you're rooting for and I hope you keep making these because they're super entertaining. For your health though, I'm hoping the Leafs can actually pull through for once. 😅
@@nickymolitoris799 I literally screenshot the comments to send it to Steve’s IG. Doubt he’ll respond but these battles are worth fighting for if it’s something you care about...
I grew up hating the Leafs for living near Ottawa when I was young, yet I find it heartbreaking to see the Leafs lose because of the way Steve reacts to it; to the point where I'm rooting for them at this point, just so he can break a sigh of relief. LFR is hands down my favorite youtube series of this spring.
I am a HABS fan and have always been a HABS fan, I am in disbelief as well on how this has turned around BUT it is amazing how mental this game is. Confidence is huge!!!! and the HABS have it now!!! GO HABS GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@mst3k54 not really because now we have more time to practice not get rusty we can practice the things we aren’t good at or maybe get ready to face whatever team and what they are good at to shut them down
If habs beat Toronto I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat Winnipeg, as for if Toronto wins I don’t think they can beat Winnipeg unless the top line wakes up.
I’ve just read through the hundreds of comments, and I feel the need to comment again. I’ve been a leafs fan since the day I could walk, I watched them win the Stanley Cup through my childhood, and I was AT the 1967 Stanley Cup game and watched the Stanley Cup being brought out on the ice. The glow of its beautiful silver was something I had never imagined, and it was a fantastic thrill and privilege to be at that game. Like all Leafs fans from that era, we got used to the leafs winning the cup. And then it started, the long slide into the abyss of futility. There were highlights throughout the last 50 years, and I do believe the 1993 team was robbed, by Kerry Fraser, and a league that didn’t want two Canadian teams in the final, despite the fact that it was the hundredth anniversary of the Stanley Cup and it would’ve been two original six teams playing off for the last time for the cup. But I’ve never wavered in my loyalty to my team. Yes it’s been frustrating, yes it’s been agonizing at times, and game 7’s have been excruciating-but I never lose my allegiance to the Leafs. It’s in my blood, I bleed blue and white, and they are my team. I’m not a Johnny come lately to the event, I’m not somebody who’s going to switch allegiances or give up, because no matter how good or bad the season is, they give me relief and respite from the day to day monotony of life, (especially during covid) and it’s good to have something to be passionate about. I want them to win on Monday, I will be watching the game and I’ll be cheering my boys every step of the way. If they lose I’ll be terribly sad, again, but I will not give up on them. And I hope you don’t either, Steve. I love your broadcasts, I love your passion, I love your humour and your great hockey sense, and I really think you add a lot to the family of the Toronto Maple Leafs. So, go Leafs go! Let’s win it, put away the curse, and move forward and go deep where we were meant to go all along.
he left so they could win playoff series. the isles have won at least one every year since he left. they won ONE in his entire tenure with the team, against the only team with a bigger drought than toronto. and the way he left, he fucking deserves everything he's getting. except the 11 million dollars a year. and the captaincy. he's a coward and an asshole.
You're love of hockey has drawn me, a Rangers fan, to this channel. As a die-hard fan of a historically disappointing team, I've found far more love for the game of hockey as my love for the Rangers, while not diminishing, has been reined in. I'm a big podcast follower and you DO have far more to offer us than your hysterical reactions to epic Leafs collapses. Be well, man, the world needs more intelligent sports personalities like you.
Hi Steve, I feel for you and I fan of the Habs... I had giving up hope that make this far by game 3 :)... Also Like to mention I've really enjoy watching the game with you on your stream... (it reminds when back in Highschool and I watch Habs vs Nordiques with my friends where half my friends root for one or the other) no matter what game 7 results. I would really hope you continue the watch with Steve (all the way to the cup) maybe just change it to watch NHL playoff with Steve if the unthinkably would happen... at that point root against whoever eliminated you beloved Leafs... half rooting for another club could soften the pain the Leafs loss would cause... either way I really enjoy all your work
The last "What would you change?" part of this rant really hurt to hear. It's the realization that this may be this teams last real shot at a good cup run at what you could consider a very talented roster that's at their peak that has simply underperformed at every key moment in their current stint. I'm a Coyotes fan. There's nothing, but we know that. Leafs have what it takes, but they just never seem to get over that hump.
and that's precisely why, as a coyotes fan as well, I would kill to have an org like the Leafs to support over the Coyotes. But I stick myself to them and wish for the best that has hopefully yet to come.
I did exactly the same thing. In fact, I had my arm up and yelled “NOT MEEEEE”. I’m not sure I can watch game 7 at this point, but like the idiot that I, I probably will.

I'm not watching game 7 I'm gonna spare myself psychological harm and damages
"What would you change?"
Honestly, at this point, the one thing I would change is ever becoming a Leafs fan. I've never been so close to crying during a hockey game before this. Being a Leafs fan is like being in a toxic relationship. Being a Leafs fan is setting yourself up for disappointment and heartbreak. At this point, man, i'm angry and sad and all of the above and I know there's no point. I had this underlying numbness and lack of hope settling in my heart as soon as Montréal scored those 2 goals in the first. I can't even begin to explain how frustrated and depressed I am because of this. I've dedicated all my life to this team. It's a toxic and vicious cycle of loyalty and commitment that I can't help but feel will only lead to being disappointed over and over again.
I don't know whether these feeling's are towards this hockey team, or myself for still blindly believing in this hockey team. I'm just so tired.
I agree with everything you’ve said here.... sadly
If Toronto doesn’t come out and DOMINATE game 7 in every damn way, I’ll be done as a Leaf fan.
Honestly couldn't have said it better myself, I've been a leafs fan for as long as I can remember, but honestly, this constant let down, this constant false hope from being up 3-1 in a series and still being eliminated, it drains u man, it really does, honestly I don't even wanna watch game 7, cuz in my head, I know what's gonna happen
As a Winnipeg boy growing up with no NHL team, I cheered for the Leafs as they were usually the team CBC would cover on Saturdays. The second they announced the Jets were getting a team back I dropped the Leafs like a bad habit. Haven't missed them for a moment.
I'll make you a guarantee, the Leafs will never win a Stanley Cup again. Yes technically you can argue they have a chance every season, but I'm telling you this now as honestly as I can. It's NEVER going to happen. This isn't like the Red Sox, this isn't like the Cubs, this isn't like the Cavaliers, this isn't like Liverpool FC. The Leafs are cursed in a way beyond any franchise in pro sports and it's going to stay that way for the rest of our lives and the lives that come after.
As soon as you make peace with this, the sooner you'll be able to heal.
You are not alone!! I say every year I am never watching them again...
Wow....its August and I still cant stop watching this. I will always remember this series because of Carey Price and Steve Dangle. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If they lose game 7, the next LFR will be 10 minutes of Steve tearing up his wall
omg xD Citizen Kane style
He should do one with the set but him not there for 10 minutes.
Demolition video of the blue room, my goodness this team......
😂
He might keep the blue room but turn it into a non-LFR thing. Which would suck in a way because Steve is known for that. I watch some of his videos because I feel it's time for the Leafs to win something (even a round to start)
The Leafs are actually breaking Steve, and it's legitimately tragic

I'm a Lightning fan who loves your channel, you bring passion and can credit opposing teams because you can be objective in spite of your Leafs fandom, which is refreshing. Don't risk your health over the performance of any sports team. Toronto has to want it more, they have to win the puck battles and let Montreal know they are there, check the body, play physical. They have the talent, it's the will and desire that makes the difference. Game seven should be epic.
don't mind me. i'm just waiting
Me too. I will literally stay up all night for the game 7 vid

@@dominiquerichard1342 The Leafs haven't won a playoff series since 2004, but they have nothing on the Panthers. They haven't won one since that cup appearance in 1996.
I’ve never been so emotional watching an LFR. This broke me.
Man, I am anti-leafs but I feel your pain so much. That heartbreak and emotion from you is how much I feel for the Oilers and the Decade+ of darkness. You have Matthews and the Richard, we have McDavid and everything else. After watching this video though, I'm actually hoping for the Leafs next game, and I never thought I'd say that, because of how much I like and respect you.
no wonder you feel a kinship. your teams have the same problem: your skill players have no grit. at least nurse gave a shit. but you're worse off, as your starting goalie is 39. maybe you can sign andersen, he's a huge upgrade on koskinen. you're toronto, but worse.
I gotta joke for you Steve...

When you said "what would you change?" that really hit hard. They've literally changed everything they could and still nothing.
Trade the entire team for draft picks and prospects and start over. Maybe they’ll acquire some WINNERS
I can see holes in the leafs. Plenty of changes if you ask me
They lose Monday and you change everything. Dubas, fired. Keefe and staff, fired. Shanahan, Fired. Marner, Traded. Matthews, Traded. Nylander, Traded, Reilly, trader, Dermott, let go to Kraken. Start from ground zero. How much worse can it get, than to lose the the worst team to make the playoffs in decades, in a season you never played a single top 10 team.

@@Matt-bh6yp We weren’t favoured and didn’t have home ice in that series. Yes we had the lead in game 7 but we had a series lead of 3-1 this year and choked 3 straight games. Not just the last half of a period. Convinced? :)
Mr. Dangle. I understand this won't mean much, BUT, there are Sparks of hope. I think that your haunted comment was bang on. Look I'm a Avs fan & while our history isn't as profound as the Leafs I really think you have a lot to look forward to. I really really do. No joke. In my humble opinion I think the Leaf's are just a couple of bounces away from greatness. They need to get out of their own heads. That's it. Easier said than done. Just win baby. They can do it. I guarantee it.
Next video will be legendary.
I think Steve nailed it when he said this team is simply 'Haunted'. Staff changes. Players change. Same result. Same feel. No finish. No killer instinct.
Not really..... y’all have had the same 11 mil players for what 5 years now? They’re the issue. They’re not getting paid can do money, they’re being paid maybe money. You need to ship out one or two of the core pieces for can do players. Y’all shipped out your last great can do player in Kessel, just you didn’t surround him with other players to assist him like you did with Mathews. Funny how the fans chase players out of Toronto and then they play ten fold better out of the franchise. Keefe needs to go, you need a trotz!
There is a number 13 in the rafters without a neetrihT .

When you talk about branching out to reach a wider audience, I feel like you should know that I for one am a Penguins fan and watch every single one of your LFRs.

That's me when I was younger
I’ve just read through the hundreds of comments, and I feel the need to comment again. I’ve been a leafs fan since the day I could walk, I watched them win the Stanley Cup through my childhood, and I was AT the 1967 Stanley Cup game and watched the Stanley Cup being brought out on the ice. The glow of its beautiful silver was something I had never imagined, and it was a fantastic thrill and privilege to be at that game. Like all Leafs fans from that era, we got used to the leafs winning the cup. And then it started, the long slide into the abyss of futility. There were highlights throughout the last 50 years, and I do believe the 1993 team was robbed, by Kerry Fraser, and a league that didn’t want two Canadian teams in the final, despite the fact that it was the hundredth anniversary of the Stanley Cup and it would’ve been two original six teams playing off for the last time for the cup. But I’ve never wavered in my loyalty to my team. Yes it’s been frustrating, yes it’s been agonizing at times, and game 7’s have been excruciating-but I never lose my allegiance to the Leafs. It’s in my blood, I bleed blue and white, and they are my team. I’m not a Johnny come lately to the event, I’m not somebody who’s going to switch allegiances or give up, because no matter how good or bad the season is, they give me relief and respite from the day to day monotony of life, (especially during covid) and it’s good to have something to be passionate about. I want them to win on Monday, I will be watching the game and I’ll be cheering my boys every step of the way. If they lose I’ll be terribly sad, again, but I will not give up on them. And I hope you don’t either, Steve. I love your broadcasts, I love your passion, I love your humour and your great hockey sense, and I really think you add a lot to the family of the Toronto Maple Leafs. So, go Leafs go! Let’s win it, put away the curse, and move forward and go deep where we were meant to go all along.

Hi Steve, I feel for you and I fan of the Habs... I had giving up hope that make this far by game 3 :)... Also Like to mention I've really enjoy watching the game with you on your stream... (it reminds when back in Highschool and I watch Habs vs Nordiques with my friends where half my friends root for one or the other) no matter what game 7 results. I would really hope you continue the watch with Steve (all the way to the cup) maybe just change it to watch NHL playoff with Steve if the unthinkably would happen... at that point root against whoever eliminated you beloved Leafs... half rooting for another club could soften the pain the Leafs loss would cause... either way I really enjoy all your work
The last "What would you change?" part of this rant really hurt to hear. It's the realization that this may be this teams last real shot at a good cup run at what you could consider a very talented roster that's at their peak that has simply underperformed at every key moment in their current stint. I'm a Coyotes fan. There's nothing, but we know that. Leafs have what it takes, but they just never seem to get over that hump.
