Ill never forgive Marc Savard for how he tried to injure Matt Cookes elbow with the back of his head. It was a dirty play.

[@chrisorrell3066]

That was good dude! lol 😂

[@chad_b]

I'm sure he loses sleep at night thinking about how you don't forgive him

This is 10/10

[@SininStyle]

No one sees the ice like Savvy. So good to see him back in the NHL. Congrats Leafs

[@BrodyYYC]

lol unless he's looking down. He can't even see his skates over his belly.

[@davidjohnson-fw5co]

he could probably be the leafs third line centre

[@scrimmybinger]

Nice editing at 2:20

?????

[@stephenz.8700]

Savard shoulda ended up being an Offensive Juggernaut we were seeing that in his healthy days

[@pattaccone5347]

Good timing Steve I just listened to the Perron interview on first up before putting on your video 😂. My phone is watching me

[@tplomonte]

This shouldn't reallybe a surprise Steve, it was mentioned after the hiring of Berube that it was a very big possibility that Craig would want Marc Savard as both were Stanley Cup winners with the Blues resurgence

[@generalimlerith8356]

Why the leafs keep collecting flames leftovers lol

"Your GM relationship with Calgary is good".

To pipeline them to the oilers so they win a cup obviously lol just to spite flames fans

Not only did we pick up Calgary’s scrap but we are trying to replicate the Blues staff the 1 !!!!! Year they won a cup wayyyyyy back in the day!!!!. Here we go!… fans already jumping back on the wagon. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well I’m thinking of lots of jokes from the Ted movies‼️

[@mikekellum6238]

Savard signing on with the Leafs simply means he is an avid spring time golfer.

[@cameronloeslein3098]

I loved Marc savard in Atlanta. I was a huge thrashers fan (being born there) before switching to boston in 2010. But not only as a bruins fan but a hockey fan watching that hit live just destroyed me. I was 11 or 12 years old. He was never the same guy after. After that ever single game Matt Cooke was in I put him as a 0 overall and sent him overseas

[@quercusquercus532]

If you were born in the 1970s and wanna feel old, scroll through the comments and read how many people think he's talking about the 1920 St. Louis Blues. This site really needs "your comment looks very similar to these prior posts".

[@msewellftw]

Hand to rewatch this video a few times for the content, because everytime I saw the images of you and Savy on the ice, your glasses were screaming Hanson brother vibes and I loved every minute of it! Thank you for your energy all the time I greatly appreciate all that you do to help bring energetic hockey news to us 🙂

[@-Hoods]

Holy shit, Ziggy Palffy is such a throwback name 😭 haven’t heard that name in forever

[@skyborne80]

It's a good thing the Assistant Coaches don't talk to the media. I remember an article Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun wrote where he talked about trying to contact Marc Savard after he disappeared for a while after getting concussed and getting no answer. Apparently that rubbed Simmons the wrong way and several years later, when Marc Savard dabbled in the media, Simmons quipped in one article something along the lines of: "If Marc Savard contacts you, don't answer!" Savard shot back that during that time, he was going through some very tough times due to his post concussion syndrome which is completely understandable! Simmons came off as a real jerk there, something that he's known for...

[@crazycanuck7811]

Simmons is the biggest Leech in the Leafs Media. Being called a Jerk is how he starts his day and that's from his dog. He is a scumbag on the level with Ballard.

[@shawns7066]

Nothing new here in regards to Simmons

[@austonboston4361]

Simmons IS trash. Disregard anything he comments on.

[@Oldmanflyfishing]

It’s Simmons, he IS a jerk

As I said, something he's known for.

“You’re free to rip on the Leafs all you like but I don’t think you’re gonna be better at it than us” THE BEST LINE OF THE YEAR! Thanks for that, Steve. Made my morning. Oh, I think and hope Edmonton will win. But it’s going to be a hard one, right to the last second.

[@darthcanadian007]

Ok props for clarifying that he wasnt going after flames FANS but rather management at the end there, dodged a spicy fan war meatball there😅. Ps. Also that self roast right after 👌🏻

Serious question, since the heartless 4 have been Leafs, how many PP coaches have they had?

Hey @Steve Dangle can you plz do more videos of the NHL trade tree?

[@ronmurray7349]

Watching the finals, I couldn't help but think..........we are so close to a Cup......................(sarc). . What I saw was 40 highly skilled, well coached totally committed men leaving every ounce of themselves on the ice. We aren't there yet.

[@PpP-dr1od]

Considering the fact officials seem to hate the Leafs, I wonder if that will be affected by hiring someone that Colin Campbell famously called a "little fake artist"

[@Oldmanflyfishing]

Colin Campbell has been behind fixing and rigging this league for decades now.

[@Slidezy]

Mark Savard also plays the easports nhl games, I played with him in a league a few year back. He's chill

[@billleblanc9011]

I'm a lifelong Bruins fan, so feel free to show your distain in the replies. It's ok. I don't like you either, lol. But seriously, I'm jealous. Would love to have him back with the Bruins.

[@corlev5962]

No hate to the Bruins.. but how the hell do you trade ullmark?

[@jrr3418]

Only hate the Bs in the most respectful way as a Leafs fan.

[@LadyGainhart]

Fond memories of Savard in Atlanta. He was one of the unsung heroes behind the top tier talent they pulled in. Wish him success, just not at the expense of the Jets

[@late3619]

Savard should get in touch with Rielly and tell him if you don't have a slapshot in training camp your not on PP#1. Hope he has someone on the top PP that can cause havoc in front of the net. The perimeter passing works fine in the regular season but in the playoffs against top PK's it's useless.

[@jackpallinson3012]

Slapshot is practically useless in todays Nhl a aggressive PK can easily nuetralize it, Mo definitely needs to work on a wrister with some oomph but a Slapshot wont be it.

[@TFriies]

i told my buddy after the Oilers went down 3-0 in the series that McDavid about to have his Tom Brady Falcons Super Bowl comeback moment and theyre gonna put him on Canadian Currency for returning the cup home. lolol. i mightve only slightly been kidding about that..

19-20. As in, 2019-2020 season. He just cut out the 20 at the front of both.

Hey Steve you sound like you are about to stroke out, its not too late to change teams BTW lol

[@dt8787]

Yea, great! We got the power play unit coach of the Flames who finished 24th in the NHL. Geez. Are Atkins/Shapiro running the Leafs? Not sure why all the detail on what kind of player Savard was. Does that make him a good coach?

Blues fan here: please give us back our coaches

9:28 far better than last year, ppl hating on it are the same ones who think Marner is the reason they aren’t getting far 😭😭Next up is defence, Got the worst d core out of all the playoffs team and hoping that changes big time this year. If they can bring in Pesce-Zadorov and someone like Roy then the D would look the best it has in agessssss

Pretty solid coaching staff of well known well seasoned veteran skaters hopefully it helps

[@nawtty8864]

Savard has a great offensive mind. He will definitely be the pp guy. Sees the ice very well

Do you think this foreshadows an MM trade cuz Savard knows offense and was a playmaker extraordinaire? Good to have one of those behind the bench.

[@PowderClaws]

Been hearing that the Leafs have a legit good group of guys on coaching staff

[@nrusso967]

Marc Savard was a hard nosed, classy and hard working player! He gave his all to every team! Marc always had great hockey sense and tirelessly worked on improving his game & those of his teammates. He will do great as a Leafs' assistant coach!!! Tonight? Game 7!!!! #GoOilersGo Nancy

[@l82classproductions8]

I won't pretend like I understand if the new coaches are good or not. But I do know that changing what hasn't worked in the past, is a very very good thing. Even if most of the players stay the same this year, I can see a different season from Toronto coming up. That being said, I would prefer if they are adjustments to the roster as well...

[@mrme8162]

...Im sure he knows that game 7 is tonight and not tomorrow night. Right?

Leafs obviously have more talent on the PP than the Flames did, but I'm still a little nervous for y'all. Flames PP was a train wreck all year and there was 0 effort into trying to do anything different to fix it. He was a great player sure, but i don't know how good of a coach he really is...
