This is a game where we would 100% not win under Babcock because he was to stubborn to try things like mixing up the lines and putting your best players together and riding them for 20+ minutes. Creative, fun hockey. Thank you Sheldon, and as Joe Bowen would say, "Bless you Boys!"
Plus the Leafs under Babs seemed to never have the drive for such a big comeback cuz they were so afraid of fucking up for him and had such low morale with him on the bench
DUDE WTF IS THIS CROSS OVER IM LOSING MY MIND RIGHT NOW LIKE I KNOW YOUR CANADIAN AND A DANGLE FAN BUT I NEVER ONCE THOUGHT ID SEE YOUR TWEETS IN HIS VIDEOS LOL
George Blair oh lmao when they went up 5-3 we’d have the 4th line playing 20 minutes with non stop dump and chase and probably finish the game 7-3. God I hate Babcock
As a Canes fan this crushed me. You score 5 unanswered you’ve got to close it out. However the leafs played an absolute beauty of a game! And I’m glad it was ok kids day, those are future hockey fans and potential players that got to see such an exciting game live! Great for the sport. GG leaf bros!
Keefe is painting his Mona Lisa. Matthews remembers his figure skating training, Marner has the hand eye coordination of something from another planet the force is strong with this one, redbull gives you wings.
I usually hate when the Canes lose (and today was no exception) but that game was too exciting for me to not watch this. This energy was me for the 5 unanswered goals (it didn’t last obviously) but boy that was a game.
No one on TH-cam like Steve. Canes Twitter and Facebook communities are always a great read. Mike Maniscalco and Michael Smith do a podcast every week.
Perfect game? Nope. But no team goes a season without a few wild ones. It’s about response and this was an amazing response from the guys who matter most. Great way to head into the holidays. Merry happy jolly insert holiday you celebrate here to all.
MAN! I was watching with my son while my wife was having an afternoon nap. i missed the first 10 minutes of the game and saw the score on my phone and freaked, so i rushed to turn it on only to see the leafs do what they always seem to do, blow it. I left the game on in the background and turned my attention elsewhere until Matthews scored, and then again when Haula scored, only to be blown away by what transpired next...I am so glad that we have a head coach who understands that your best players have to be your best players, and in order to do that they have to actually play. Loved seeing 16 and 34 out on the same line and really enjoyed keefe recognizing that hey, we get a break after this game, why not ride the guys we signed to big contracts this summer. Not to mention Hyman out there hunting down loose pucks for them, yikes. what a game, what a team, what a year. Merry Christmas Steve.
With you on the fact Gardiner deserved that little appreciation package. I'll never forget that first home playoff game in years on the lockout year when he scored the 1-1 goal and the first playoff goal scored in the ACC in years. I literally couldnt hear my dad screaming in my ear with how loud the building got. Thanks Jake for that great memory
And then the next time they play the Canes, this glorious thing happens. *”THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS LOST AN ACTUAL NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE TO A 42 YEAR OLD ZAMBONI DRIVER WHO WORKS FOR THEM!!!!!”*
you have no idea how excited i was to watch this, after that game i knew this was going to be a great video. well done, well done. I laughed so hard i actually think i don't need coffee to wake up (ok i always need coffee but you get it)
I look forward to these far more that I care to admit lol. Despite the scoring I was blown away at just how good Carolina is. It felt like they gave the leafs no time and space most of the game. They are legit. The flip side of that being how hard the leafs worked to get back into this one. A real solid effort on their side. I am far to old to be jumping in the middle of the living room, but 3 goals in 59 seconds..........WOW, just WOW. This win feels good.
As a Leaf fan since the 70s Steve I totally relate to the layer after layer of scar tissue. Sometimes hard to let your guard down when you are waiting for the disappointment that is inevitable. These kids being allowed to be creative to their abilities is something else to witness. Do I want to see these types of games often? Absolutely not, my heart can’t take it. But Christmas is just a little better with a winning streak. I am in!
I was watching this game on vacation. It was 3-0 Leafs when I went to the beach. I came back and it was 6-4 Carolina. And about a minute after I walked in and turned on the game we scored 3 in 59 seconds and then got an empty netter. From what I saw (which was just 7 out of the 8 Leafs goals), that game was crazy, fun, stressful, and insanely exciting
steve, i love u man, that's why i paused at the 4:46 mark to say...timothy's coffee, like any other coffee, is best in moderation. it was an exciting game but, for this LFR, your caffeine intake was definitely showing :) (says the man drinking rye)
I was Entertained when I heard the Babcock impression lmfao everytime.I love Mitch ever since he was here in London ....Mitch was fire this game him and Matthews are dynamite together...Leafs Win Merry Christmas Steve
Steve man ....you rock ...and I think this is really it....the new bridges being built by myself are gonna have the Stanley cup walked across them ......are wish will come true
This was one of the most insane games I’ve ever seen me and my dad were freaking out so many ups and downs and that that fucking epic finish bro HOW AM I NOT TALKING IN ALL CAPS THAT WAS LITERALLY AMAZING

hey man nice video this one was super calming
Had no clue you were a Leafs fan/watched Dangle until today. It's official, you're better than Fitz and it's not even close anymore.
DUDE WTF IS THIS CROSS OVER IM LOSING MY MIND RIGHT NOW LIKE I KNOW YOUR CANADIAN AND A DANGLE FAN BUT I NEVER ONCE THOUGHT ID SEE YOUR TWEETS IN HIS VIDEOS LOL
No way the Leafs win this type of game under Babcock. No way.
They did though a few times. The crazy 7-6 vs Blackhawks game last year comes to mind.
Remember that 7-6 game against PHI last season?
@@ariccua6101 i think they were winning through out that game philly scored i think 3 goals the last 10 mins
Babs gave the guys no mins. Keefe double shifting the big boys got er done!
George Blair oh lmao when they went up 5-3 we’d have the 4th line playing 20 minutes with non stop dump and chase and probably finish the game 7-3. God I hate Babcock
"A scar is not a reminder of defeat, it is a reminder of survival"
Dangit, Steve, that's really deep and touching.
I expected yelling, I was NOT disappointed
Steve referencing Letterkenny is the best Christmas gift
can u get mrs dangle to set a camera upstairs to see what its like
I never knew I needed this.
yes. this is entertainment. one of the best LFRs ever.
Goran Bitner i agree man. Best one yet
This IS the best LFR ever
Can’t think of one better, that’s for sure.
@@canadianroot Um... the other game against the Canes. The one with the ZAMBONI DRIVER *WHO WORKS FOR THEM*
@@windwalker5765 Right. That was frickin' hilarious. I thought Steve was going to burst a vein in his neck.
Steve was on coke and redbull the entire video
Just like the 80s
LMAO!!
and skittles
Naw it was Timothy's coffee. It does that to you
@@joeblow9657 thats funny
Anyone else check thier playback speed to see if he was actually talking that fast or was it just me?
Yep, and then I actually turned it down to 0.75 speed so I could understand what he said, lol
Yep, me too. How do you talk that fast? Best LFR! IF he could skate and had hands as fast as his lips he'd be on the team..
No.
Hat guy got our hopes up...One day Steve, one day.
Hat guy's day will be when they lift Lord Stanley's mug.
Oh great, so never
I am quite sure this is the most poetic LFR episode of all time. I laughed, I cried, I shook my head in awe. Thank you, Steve.
8:12: "YOUR SOUL IS MINE"
THAT BETTER BE IN NEXT YEAR'S INTRO
Agreed
As a Canes fan this crushed me. You score 5 unanswered you’ve got to close it out.
However the leafs played an absolute beauty of a game! And I’m glad it was ok kids day, those are future hockey fans and potential players that got to see such an exciting game live! Great for the sport.

"You know what the best part of owning a Ferrarri is? Driving it in first gear." - Mike Babcock
disco desanti ..LOL Yeah Really!
I broke as soon as i read “red bull gives you wings” i was like, “THIS COMMENT IS GREEEEEEAT!”
Also can we talk about how this legendary Matthews moment hasn’t been ruined
I'm glad I'm not the only one that reverts to a 10 year old hopped up on half the halloween bag of candy when they win like this.
the funniest video yet dude, I was crying.
Ayy JD
I usually hate when the Canes lose (and today was no exception) but that game was too exciting for me to not watch this. This energy was me for the 5 unanswered goals (it didn’t last obviously) but boy that was a game.
GG from us! What an unforgettable third frame.
Do you guys have a spokes person like dangle for the horricans ?
No one on TH-cam like Steve. Canes Twitter and Facebook communities are always a great read. Mike Maniscalco and Michael Smith do a podcast every week.
Was working during the game... all I could say was... “CAN YOU FUCKING NOT”.... FOURTEEN GOALS IS NOT OKAY
holy crap steve
Sid from Tim and Sid called AM34 spin pass play "hockey sex" and thats all that needs to be said.
This video is a hat pick
Perfect game? Nope. But no team goes a season without a few wild ones. It’s about response and this was an amazing response from the guys who matter most. Great way to head into the holidays. Merry happy jolly insert holiday you celebrate here to all.
Perhaps the best LVR of all time.

Steve you could be a motivational speaker! I’m moved when I listen to you speak
Among your best work. Wow
"WITH HIS NECK" LOOOL i was SCREAMING AT MY TV THIS GAME CAN NOT BE REAL
I can tell you guys love the leafs, I do to and I like Matthews
I hope Mrs.dangle wasnt home for this
Steve should put mrs dangle in a video to see her reaction to steves reaction maybe rsr
Lots of potential for next years intro in this video
King Of the Quaffle can we just use the whole video as the intro?
I applaud your wife. She married “THIS” and still loves you. I don’t know how she deals with this. You are one lucky man.
She's Scottish... this is barely a 4 on the scale for us.
Cameron Stewart so... this energy is just called.... “it’s a Tuesday” ?
@@mathwiz3145 it's more a Wednesday but pretty much.
Nice got a little bit of smit7y in there
"TH-cam Milkbag Person" yep, that's our Boi
@@rebeckymo never been prouder lol
coming back to watch this now, I understand why he was so hyper...
edit: so there was a dad joke less than a minute in, nice
This is my favourite LFR to date! Even more so then the Nashville episode!
Steve won’t sleep until 2021 with the amount of caffeine he just ingested.
The coffee was too good.
Bravo Steve... bravo, great LFR
With you on the fact Gardiner deserved that little appreciation package. I'll never forget that first home playoff game in years on the lockout year when he scored the 1-1 goal and the first playoff goal scored in the ACC in years.

7-3-0 L10...5 Game WIN Streak!
Merry Christmas! What a way to enter the break!
" GO LEAFS GO "
Steve, been watching you videos for a long time now. This was the most impressive and entertaining LFR you’ve ever done. Bravo
We need to give that Mortal Kombat nod a little love here "YOUR SOUL IS MINE"
We almost got a Hat Guy LFR. But instead we got a quick and fast LFR
Let's be honest, an entertaining game for a day that was meant to be fun for the kids.
"It's about doing spin - o- ramas and crap when you're down two" lmao!
8 goals. A Chanuka miracle!!!
@564markis and you know this howwww?
quick: what came first, judaism or christianity? 🤔
564markis okay boomer
I literally had to re watch the highlights after your video. Goosebumps!!
Leafs tickets should have a Surgeon General's warning on them
And then the next time they play the Canes, this glorious thing happens.
*”THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS LOST AN ACTUAL NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE TO A 42 YEAR OLD ZAMBONI DRIVER WHO WORKS FOR THEM!!!!!”*
this is the first LFR'r i've ever hit the replay button on. steve, that was awesome, i choked up, teared up.
Steve says everything I want to say in a 15 minute rant this is freaking amazing huge fan!
This is the Nashville 9-2 but instead of pain it’s joy. This is the happiest I’ve seen Steve making a video ever.
you have no idea how excited i was to watch this, after that game i knew this was going to be a great video. well done, well done. I laughed so hard i actually think i don't need coffee to wake up (ok i always need coffee but you get it)
Your tweet about this being a crazy LFR wasn’t wrong. I LOVE IT
I had an extreme emotional roller coaster during the game.. like wow!... not to mention this video
After watching that game, I was soooo looking forward to this LFR.
This is the perfect last video to watch before starting reading your book I feel. Merry Christmas from the UK! :)
Christmas came early!! - Happy Holidays Steveo and to the rest of the LFR audience 🍻
Had to put the speed of this LFR to 0.75x to understand
thats smitty not milk bag man
same thing
At least someone noticed
I wasn't paying attention and had to rewind when he said milk bag youtube man person... Didn't realize Smitty watched these
@@insert-username4388 smii7y has tweeted at dangle in the past
Smii7y is a beaut
I look forward to these far more that I care to admit lol. Despite the scoring I was blown away at just how good Carolina is. It felt like they gave the leafs no time and space most of the game. They are legit. The flip side of that being how hard the leafs worked to get back into this one. A real solid effort on their side. I am far to old to be jumping in the middle of the living room, but 3 goals in 59 seconds..........WOW, just WOW. This win feels good.
was watching the highlights thinking, "how will this roller coaster be handled by dangle?" did not disappoint
Merry Christmas Steve and family. Thanks for all the crazy LFR videos. Go Leafs Go!
Red Bull
This is the most inspiring thing I have ever watched
The first 5 minutes of this LFR is the most I’ve laughed through one of the in at least the past 3 years, great work Steve
Never mind, make that the first 10 minutes
Who else is re-watching this because hockey is suspended? Most exciting game this season and still gives me chill watching it
Just watched my Christmas prezzy. Thanks Steve!!!
The Cocaine is great, as is the coffee?
Thanks Steve! You rarely disappoint.
I’ve Been waiting for this since the 2nd period
As a Leaf fan since the 70s Steve I totally relate to the layer after layer of scar tissue. Sometimes hard to let your guard down when you are waiting for the disappointment that is inevitable. These kids being allowed to be creative to their abilities is something else to witness. Do I want to see these types of games often? Absolutely not, my heart can’t take it.

Somehow you sum up my feelings better than I ever could.
That game was one wild ride of Christmas joy! I am down in florida doing cartwheels on the beach!
I was at the game and it was an emotional rollercoaster let me tell you Steve. One of the craziest games I’ve ever been to
steve, i love u man, that's why i paused at the 4:46 mark to say...timothy's coffee, like any other coffee, is best in moderation. it was an exciting game but, for this LFR, your caffeine intake was definitely showing :)
(says the man drinking rye)
That’s weird, my playback speed says normal?
Holy crap Dangle THIS IS A GEM! It goes in the resume vault for sure!
You baited us with the small hope of an all-hat guy LFR. I am saddened.
This is the special we all need
Best LFR of the season. by far, great work Steve.
IVE BEEN WAITING ALL DAY !!!
I love your work Mr Dangle!!! Thanks!!!
I was Entertained when I heard the Babcock impression lmfao everytime.I love Mitch ever since he was here in London ....Mitch was fire this game him and Matthews are dynamite together...Leafs Win Merry Christmas Steve
Ok so we are calling Matthews the truth from now on right? Like that’s officially his new nickname? Ok glad we can all agree on that
Legit, my favourite LFR that was some serious standup ❤❤
You're the best man I literally said that during the game
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!
Such a good movie
As a paramedic, I was seriously thinking Stroke Protocol watching you. Go LEAFS Go!
Steve
Just got your book!
Not a leafs fan but came across you by accident...
Great stuff!
Someone get this man an oscar.
Watching this wonderful video soon after finishing Rise of Skywalker.
Today's been a *great* day.
This is one of the best videos in a while it’s incredible
I was so looking forward to this LFR. Steve, just like the Leafs, it did not disappoint. 😁👍
I’ve been waiting for this video. I knew it would be another level. Didn’t disappoint. 😆
these are the LFR’s i live for
Steve man ....you rock ...and I think this is really it....the new bridges being built by myself are gonna have the Stanley cup walked across them ......are wish will come true
Happy holidays Steve! Laughed through this whole video.
Every time I watch your videos, I sincerely hope the team watches you too. You're they're biggest cheerleader 😂
This was one of the most insane games I’ve ever seen me and my dad were freaking out so many ups and downs and that that fucking epic finish bro HOW AM I NOT TALKING IN ALL CAPS THAT WAS LITERALLY AMAZING
This has been my fav episode this year!
Canes in 2nd: 3 goals in 1:06! There's no way you can-
Leafs in 3rd: Hold my beer
Jesus I love you Steve! I'm a Wings fan... but man, you are amazing. I want to be able to have this for the wings again.
