Steve you’re a G. Started out as a kid making videos in his room ,to being all over hockey media, working on Sportsnet and having your own podcast network. Bro you got it OUT THE MUD.

Steve, I've been taking anti-depressant, anti-anxiety and anti-psychotic meds for more than 3 years now. It felt really good to hear you say all of that because that's what I feel too. It's like I was always expecting for the drugs to make me boring, bland and like a zombie. But, like you, it's the exact opposite, it gave me back my life. I just need to say that you and SDPN mean so much to me. I think the first comment I ever left on one of your videos was "god this guy makes me so happy". I've just always related to your intense emotions, and seeing you get excited about hockey made me feel awesome. But I know that there's so much negative hidden too. It's like living your emotions to 200% all the time : so when you're excited, happy or stressed out, it shows in such big fashion. But when're you sad and depressed, you also live it to the max, so it sucks. But thank you so much for being here and being someone I can look up to, with your bravery and your kindness. I wish I'll someday have the chance to talk to you or meet you :) Take care!
Damn Steve... Thank you for opening up and being vulnerable with your audience. I hope you know we all support you and your mental health choices
Really appreciate you being vulnerable like this Steve
Thank you for opening up, Steve. I wish only the best for you and your family. You continue to be an inspiration, and not all of the world is crappy. Keep doing what you do, all 3 of you actually!
In addition, great show, great network, great job to all of you. I'm all for less poison spewed online
We can all do better to be more understanding and kind to each other. Kudos to you guys for talking seriously and candidly about mental health. The sport and people in general need more of this. Top job guys
steve, i've been taking anti-anxiety medication for 6 years now as you said, they just make me handle life better. no shame in it, some of us just need the support. appreciate you talking about it so honestly, we love you and are rooting for you
That’s amazing that you were able to talk about your journey and be open enough to talk about your struggles Steve. I hope everything continues to go well for you with it.
Dude big respect for getting your brain chemicals sorted out, and for acknowledging that you may need to switch from one to another to get one that works. Big pog sir
Thanks for opening up again, Steve, Adam, and Jesse. This is why people watch/listen you all. I can (and do) get sports info from several different sources, but, I love the actual people at SDPN.
Good on you Steve for taking responsibility for your mental health.
Thank you Steve, for opening up. I to am on meds and my life has also improved!
Thank you 😊 💓
Just listened to this episode and I’m not usually one to comment, but I feel it’s important to say thank you Steve for sharing about going on antidepressants. It’s something I’ve been considering lately after going through a really hard time lately (like we all have), but after hearing this and the way you so perfectly describe missing yourself I feel really inspired to make the jump and commit to trying it out. Thank you to the three of you for making such consistently enjoyable, entertaining, intelligent, morally strong content that helps us get through the tough times in life. Much love to you three and this community as a whole
Glad things are better for you, Steve. The best to all 3 of you & the folks behind the scenes
Thanks for opening up Steve! We as fans of the podcast really appreciate the vulnerability and strength to talk about these things. Much love to anyone and everyone who's out there battling their demons!
If Nashville gets the draft, PLEASE COME HERE. I always wanted to go to a SDPN shin dig.
I don’t think much has hit me harder than Steve asking “have you ever missed yourself?”. Thanks for being open about everything you’ve been going through. Glad to hear you’re doing and feeling better.
Gonna take a run in 33c weather with you guys in Guangzhou!
To Steve especially but also the whole SDPN I appreciate you all for breaking down the wall and showing us the struggles that we all face as Humans! As someone who had mental health issues in the past I appreciated this greatly. Stay awesome and healthy! -A Jets fan
you guys should talk abt the pens trades and how different there team looks
Ew
Wdym? No change, its still Crosby, Malkin, Letang, and the others
@@trumanotto9088 we revamped our entire blue line and are gonna keep doing deals. and our bottom 6 is revamped. we have 3 new top 6 dman and pur entire depth chart is different and we stoll habe potential moves coming
Pens should have an arthritis specialist on site given the team’s core age!
As someone who has struggled as well and is medicated but not correctly and cant find the right doctor for me i reallt appreciate you opening up to us Steve. It means a lot especially about your loss that was info you didnt have to share. Thank you for everything before and ahead
Steve, thanks for sharing your stories. By doing so you help to end the stigma around mental health. Bel well and have a great summer!
I'm so glad you guys finally tackled the most important topic in the history of SDPN : Jesse's beard is superb. Glorious facial hair.
Thanks Steve for opening up, really appreciate how SDP is open to talking about mental health and other important subjects. Always love listening to the three of you, SPD definitely kept me sane during the pandemic, so thank you guys for all the content you provide!
GREAT content (as always), Thanks for sharing Steve.
You guys might hate talking about this stuff, but appreciate your candor and willingness to keep it front and center. Kudos lads.
Thank you Steve for sharing your story. You are not alone. So many others, including myself, have dealt with mental health issues. Mine have been on and off for about 3 years now. You will get through this. All of us love you and we will be thinking about you / praying for you during this difficult time. So sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences. Please reach out to us if you guys ever need anything. God Bless.
Amazing pod guys!
Thanks for the reminder that I need to call and make a doctor's appointment.
Good episode. I'm glad you don't steer away from difficult subjects.
Thanks for sharing your wellness story Steve.
Just a big Thank You for that one guys. LFR and SDP have become a staple in my day. A reminder to everyone that you're human beings with lives outside of the SDPN is unfortunately necessary sometimes. Thanks again.
thanks for opening up steve
What an important episode. Hearing a frank and honest discussion about personal mental health and how that stuff affects you is so valuable. Visibility of people who battle is so important.
We love you Steve! We love SDPN! Thank you ❤️
Thank you for sharing Steve! I can relate to a lot of what you said. My wife gave birth to our son, Phoenix, during the pandemic. To add to the stress, my wife is a nurse and worked up until a month before delivering. She got Covid while pregnant and we were so frightened at the possibilities, because no one knew of the impacts at that point. I have been on meds for a few years now and I have to say that I would not be married to such a wonderful person and have such a wonderful child if it was not for my anxiety meds. I’m sure that you sharing will help so many people. I’m a Habs fan but I never miss your podcast because I truly respect you, Adam, and Jessie’s coverage of everything. Stay awesome bud. PS I regret not being able to try to actually meet you guys when you were in Montreal
Great show. Great season.
The ending segment was great ya'll thanks for sharing steve and thanks to jessie and adam for being good friends
Love you Steve. This was impactful.
What an amazing episode.
I love you three guys so much. Thank you for doing what you do.
Fwiw, I found y'all as a hockey fan in western Virginia in the tail end of 2013. I tune in a little bit more or less as pertains to the fortunes of my own preferred team, but you're the only podcast I keep an ear on consistently, because you offer so much beyond what's going on on the ice. Cheers to you, and all the best in the upcoming season.
Steve you rock, hope things keep getting better in your life 💪
Perfect video to listen to at work, keep up the great work guys ❤
Edit: Man Adam really hates on the Devils, thank you Steve and Jessie for believing in us
I don't!!!! I think the Devils are a season a way from being a playoff team.
@@adam_wylde thanks for the reply!! Honestly reading that was kinda of surprising because all you ever say is how we suck. Never how we were the youngest team last year who played with a goalie who should never play a nhl game again (Gillies), how we have a very promising young core in Hischier, Hughes and Bratt. How we actually started to fix our defense problems with the Ty Smith trade and the Brandon Smith signing. Sure we didn't get Johnny Hockey but if we did, how can you say we would still suck and without Johnny Hockey we are a season away from the playoffs, love you Adam but its not making sense. Still love the podcast tho 👍
wow, this came at an opportune time. i’ve been on medication before and it worked great. truly saved my life! but i eventually got to a point where for various reasons i realized i could do well without them- and did for a while. but just this week, after a year of struggling with some of the worst mental health i’ve ever experienced, i finally made the choice to go back on medication. i’m a little anxious, but feeling really hopeful about getting back to a good, level place. steve, thanks so much for being open about your experience, and i’m really glad the medication has helped you. you’re good people!
Omg thank you for making another 1hr+ video only 2 days later, I'm starving for hockey content in the off season haha
Thanks for opening up Steve so many of us can relate. I found out meds weren't for me but so many people can benefit from the right dosage and medication and I'm glad you made a change to improve your life.
Thank you for sharing Steve! I have also been on antidepressants the last year or so to work through a crappy personal situation - as soon as they started working, people told me I have facial expressions again and I don't look just blank. When you find the right ones you can definitely feel like yourself again, sometimes you can feel even better than your old self! I've been weaned off of them now for almost 2 months and doing okay, but moving towards starting therapy again. Proud of you Steve!
Thanks for sharing your story Steve! Nothing want the best for you and family!
Great Pod guys
I scrubbed through the whole pod and absorbed everything in 2 seconds, definitely a great podcast today.
@@stevencoffey1450 Speaking it into existence
@@stevencoffey1450 Also, it says the topics in the description......so i know what they are gonna talk about. great pod topics.
Just off the back Steves chat about mental health. I didnt take any meds but I went to have counselling about 5 years ago and its the best thing I ever did.
I'm so happy for you, Steve! I know exactly what you mean!
I love and needed this Steve honesty
58:40 - just adding the time code for myself (and for others) to listen to the mental health clip
really grateful that you guys talk about mental health - not to overshare but i’ve been on the fence about therapy for a sec and this really is very convincing lol
Steve roasting Markström 🤌😂👌
Thank you for speaking up. I feel like in my environment you guys are leading the charge for mental health. BTW, that "what if something happens" thing with your kid never goes away
Steve your literally an inspiration
Thanks for opening up! The the last year I got a adhd diagnosis and started medication. I still struggle with the idea of taking it all the time but it makes my life so much easier and was worthwhile going through the process.
My wife also had a miscarriage at 11 weeks and we have been trying for 2 years thanks for talking about all of this
Merci Steve!
Adam - for what it's worth, speaking of Russian representation - after a couple of quick searches on the NHL's stats webpage I found that 476 Canadian players, 323 US-American players, 105 Swedish players, 62 Finnish players, and 57 Russian players, played in the league this season.
Yeah, it feels there's more cos only the ones who can make more money here come over, so top 6/top 4 guys. Finns and swedes can't make as much in national leagues so they'll take bottom roles.
Ecstatic that you're doing well, stay safe guys!
I’ll be honest it’s good hearing men talking about getting therapy and really committing to working on their mental health, so thank y’all!
Steve. Thank you for being the way you are 💙
Beautiful rant by Adam. Good to see these stories getting exposure so we can focus on the root issue.
Gotta love Steven.
We love you Steve
Love you guys
Seeing that Steve was going to come out on stuff, I held out quite a bit before listening to this. I was sure I was going to be heartbroken somehow, as if Steve swas going to announce the end of LFR's or something. So, so glad you're doing well buddy, and my thoughts ride with you on your hardships. Godspeed!
Stay strong brother.
Cheers
We Love you steve, Love all 3 of ya! Go Leafs Go !!!
Bravo, Steve.
Steve, you talking about your decision to get on medication, the stigma around it, and the feelings afterward gave me chills. You said everything I say now to anyone I can see struggling like I did. After my daughter was born in 2020, I realized how bad things had gotten and took the leap for my family. Every aspect of life improved just like you said. Thank you so much for speaking on that topic from such a personal level.
Jets fan here. Thanks for this content. Waiting for the season to start...
Keep it!
I would for sure show up for the Florida meetup
Love ya Steve!
Goddamn you're an inspiration, Steve.
"You ever lose yourself" yeah.. made me emotional. I lost myself August 13 2021, I struggle every day and miss my former self, like in a grieving way.
I hope I can find myself like you did Steve. Thank you.
If you look at how hard it's to win a cup and the odds of winning then wanting to play somewhere you like ands good for your family makes more sense.
Can Eric Francis be included in what ever trade happens with Tkachuk?? I'd prefer him out of my city please
Dear Stevie, i am glad you're feeling much better than you did in the past. I hadn't felt actual happiness in literally years until i finally got the chemicals in my brain sorted out thanks to medication. I was miserable for so long, suicidal for years, anxiety was through the roof etc. It was just awful. Once i was on medication for a while i finally felt like myself again. I finally managed to see some light at the end of the tunnel, i actually felt genuine joy for the first time in years. Sometimes i think i'm better and stop taking my medication for months and end up deeply depressed again but once i get my head to realise i'm not in a good place again, i just start it back up and cycle them back into my life. And that is perfectly fine. People, don't be scared to start medication. You deserve to be alright. You deserve to not be miserable. You deserve to feel like yourself again. Please seek help if you are in a bad place, take it from someone who has been depressed and suffered from severe anxiety for many, many years.
Absolute mad respect to Steve for opening up about his mental health and personal battles. It is never easy to open up your life to the public in that manner and dive into your deepest struggles. Also a ton of respect to Adam for talking about his divorce in a more lighter note. My parents divorced when I was only 5 and if i had heard more people talk about divorce/co-parenting in the way Adam does then maybe my experience would've been less awful
Many year Anti Depressant/Anti Anxiety medication user here, big support for talking about this, even more so accepting help in the first place, hard to do. Just to be clear, pharmaceuticals aren't free in Canada. Thankfully I have healthcare through work with a Pharma plan, but a lot of people don't and are very vulnerable to the cost of medication.
Adam looking like 1983 Ray Bourque OPC card
Thanks for opening up Steve. My wife also had her gallbladder out shortly after my son was born this past September. Apparently to run out into gallbladder issues after having a kid is more common than you think
Adam looks like Tim Thomas with more hair
I would be there in Nashville!
Really appreciate you opening up about your miscarriage. Had a similar situation happen and found it very hard. I'm glad you're pioneering the conversation so more people talk about these types of hardships. Love listening to you guys. 🤘
The saddledome was an amazing venue in its time. That time is gone. Edmonton's new arena is the future.
It was never amazing, it's always been a dump with crappy seats and horrible sight lines some of which are completely obstructed by pillars.
Much love Steve. ♥ Guys I live in MO I'd come out for sure. I LOVE Nashville, get the 1000 seater Blake trust me.
As a person from central Florida It would be lit if you guys did an all star event and draft event. I'll definitely be at both if you do.
Adams laugh is just amazing
Great ep, guys. Most people with traditional broadcasting backgrounds don't get the podcast format very well - they try to re-create radio - but you guys really deeply understand the more direct, personal slant in this format, a tradition that goes back to the very first podcasts. I mean this as high praise!
The only other thing I would add is that while you guys are doing a great job covering the abuse scandals, I think we (collectively) can easily go much deeper. Part of the creation of Hockey Canada in the first place was to standardize rules, operational practices... and disciplinary standards across Canadian hockey. Hmmm. In a way, covering up stuff like we're learning about now is baked into the whole point of Hockey Canada. This might seem overly cynical, but if you go back 30+ years, all of this kind of thing was systematically brushed aside as "disgruntled groupies". Hockey Canada must have been a part of that. I've always been a big city guy, but everyone heard stories about Big Man Hockey players in small town Canada. And even if 80% of all of that was purely consensual, that still leaves a ton of really gross behaviour by boys and young men who have been removed from their families very young and whose supervision is quite minimal.
In other words, Hockey Canada didn't just become gross recently. It's part of its DNA. I know it's tough for you guys to go there without specific evidence, but I think we have to find ways to talk about it. I'm about 15 yrs older than you guys, but people of my generation were already talking about issues of consent and the like in my teenage years, so it's NOT just a question of changing standards. "No Means No" was a slogan going back at least as far as the mid-80s.
never comment but thank you for opening up Steve
Great podcast guys! Happy you are feeling better with yourself Steve! Thanks for opening up. Guys! I'm 100% with Jesse!!! Draft all day baby! All star boring for me. So my vote Draft
Steve Dangle, Secret Keeper Man.
Seriously though Steve, I appreciate you, as a figure in a fandom area that is rife with toxic masculinity, to say that you deal with mental health issues. Normalization, removing the toxic elements of masculinity from the equation and allowing men to feel comfortable saying "I need help", is the key forward to helping society at large. Also, I love the detail of you saying "yea the first one didn't work, so my doctor and I changed it" because that is SOOO common, that the first thing that's tried doesn't work. It's discouraging for a lot of people to not get immediate changes for the better when their life is already hard and they are near the edge.
Big
I just learned Steve and I have the same anniversary!
Thank you. We’re all having a human experience.
So glad you figured out what helped you to find yourself, Steve! And thank so you very much for acknowledging the stigma about antidepressants. You're an awesome human being and I'm so glad you are feeling better. As I once heard, if one's brain doesn't make the proper chemicals, store-bought is fine! ❤️ You three had a lot of very accurate things to say about mental health in this video, and how folks online can be kinder, so thank you for that as well.
