LFR10 - Game 80 - Storm - TB 4, Tor 1

[@ChemSteve]

Praying for Mrs. Dangle...

[@mr.cactus9496]

Steve Peterson yeah

[@warren_r]

Why, because Steve might be silently storing some deep-seated anger towards her for some transgression from a decade ago? And maybe one day it will come out like a massive, incoherent fucking ball of rage like we're seeing here today? Because men actually do that, all the time. Gotta learn to let go of past anger, Glynn. It ain't healthy, and it ain't a fucking joke.

[@belainegibsson.2082]

Steve Peterson She's going to have early onset hearing loss, poor thing.

[@jeffbrouillette4585]

+Warren ..by way of rebuttal may i refer you to the title of the series "LEAFS FAN REACTION" we come here for the libidinal connection to other like minded Leaf fans, not some robotic corsi vomit (unless its pro leafs). Being a "FAN" infers emotional outbursts both good and bad,with a positive correlation (almost causal) between the degree of fandom and performance of the team.

[@FlashDavin]

It really is the most Leafs thing ever to create expectations on a season where there were none JUST TO CRUSH THEM INTO ITTY BITTY PIECES AT THE LAST SECOND.

[@jacksonlehman25]

RIP FLASH

[@chappiescollectables]

FlashDavin It's like that episode in the Simpsons where Bart has his heart crushed by his crush

[@DantheManMarino13]

FlashDavin he's alive!

[@FlashDavin]

I still stream frequently on Twitch, just not KZbin

[@FlashDavin]

[@raz6ne721]

1) It was Syracuse Crunch, not the Norfolk Admirals 2) I believe the "Up you're referees" line was said by Phil Esposito, the other guy is Dave Mishkin.

[@LCTVLIVE]

RAZ6ne dave and phil are amazing

[@denegra]

Yeah. It wasn't the Mishkin (the play by play guy) it was Esposito (the color commentator) and he says crap like that all the time.

[@Vermie22]

I have the same superstitions: 1. Wear Matthews jersey every game 2. Have road/away socks and Babsocks (only new logo allowed) 3. Wear grey t-shirt under jersey (never red no matter what) 4. I must play NHL on game day 5. PVR game and watch game on a 30-45 minute delay, mostly to allow time to put my young kids to bed, and it allows me to skip commercials. I also shut my phone off so I can't easily check the live score 6. Depending on the score, I will move to different parts of the couch As I made this list, I began thinking that someone might need to make a special asylum just for Leafs fans.

[@deonzadorozniak5122]

This is the best LFR yet. This is EXACTLY how I felt about the game. Loved the vid.

[@tanks_abound4929]

Steve I remember the heartbreak from 04. I remember just needing the Devils to beat the Isles in 07, but deciding to start Clemmenson over Brodeur. All the years we were top 10 until February...or worse March, and we drove off the cliff. The kids will settle down. These games are fun to play in. Have faith bro. We'll get there. We win one and we leapfrog Boston and avoid the Caps.

[@BrowneyedGirlmjd]

I knew when the upload for this video was delayed it wasn't going to be good. I have no words. Congratulations to the Leafs, they have sent their most loyal fan into the abyss. #prayforDangle

[@denegra]

Steve. It wasn't the play by play guy (Mishkin) who said those comments. It was Phil Esposito the color commentator, Lightning founder, former Boston Bruin, and a hell of a hockey player.

[@aquifer93]

Steve, the Syracuse Crunch are the Lightning's AHL affiliate 😂

[@CubifiedDesigns]

By the way not Norfolk admirals.. Syracuse crunch ;)

[@Hotdawgfilms]

The Admirals were TB's farm team a while ago. Now they're the Oiler's ECHL team.

[@dniceo7]

Still laughed, though lol

[@CubifiedDesigns]

Yeah they won the calder with Jon Cooper then the season after became syracuse!

[@Hotdawgfilms]

The won the calder in 2012 against the Marlies while they were the Admirals. I was at game 2 in the Scope!

[@AlexTheOilersFan]

Steve, I think you need to pray to the Hockey Demons again. THIS IS A MUST NEED SCENARIO!

[@cenahhh22]

As a kings fan, I feel your pain, watching your videos has brought back so many memories of when the kings were doing bad. So with that being said I hope the Leafs make it into the playoffs, because that's the team I'm rooting for! Go Leafs Go

[@TPSFANI13]

Easysquirter69420 J Yeah, go Sharks go!

[@hando88]

I'm a Kings fan also and I feel a strange connection to the Leafs. I started following Matthews and now I find myself rooting for the Leafs every game (unless they are playing L.A.). The kids on that team have won me over. Also, Toronto is an amazing hockey market and they deserve a cup. Not to mention the riots in Ontario would be epic! lol

[@luc2o]

Yep, Kings fan rooting for the Leafs!

[@ethanabitz9016]

as a lighting fan i was looking foward to this video

[@GoldfinchWoman]

Tears in my eyes. Beginning of this season, I knew the Leafs existed, a little surprised they did so bad in the (nearly) thirty years I spent frozen in Antarctica/not being a hockey fan. I care now, you infectious man.

[@hweezittv]

I even cut my finger doing the dishes during the first intermission of the tampa shutout. Watched the Leafs in the ER score 4 goals in the second period. Then I got 5 stitches. I can't say I didn't contemplate drawing more blood last night.

[@roberttrifts2737]

I can honestly say that watching this not only made me laugh, but it made me feel better through experiencing Steve's rage, vicariously. Favourite bit was raging against Babcock: "I'm a blogger with mental problems Mike and **I** picked up on that; you think John Cooper and the Lightning haven't?!!?"

[@bettyander7686]

Steve, this is by far one of your best installments and so true it hurts ... I believe they will do it tonight and..... I'M IN.!!! Go Leafs Go.. !!! how many others are in..?

[@mitchellman32]

I thought I was the only one Steve, nice to see someone shares my emotional trauma watching this team. Been a fan since 04' and I was 5 years old. And I WANT MY GODDAMN PLAYOfFS!!!

[@ireneisoverthinking]

"Where is your anger on a scale of 1 to 10" Me: " Look at Dangle's jersey number."

[@hectorgibbs9646]

The guy screaming is Dave Mishkin and "Up yours referee" is none other than Phil Esposito

[@victoriadixon5521]

hector gibbs sounds about right

[@Tbiblaine23]

And yes steve, my team is in (and clinched) but the leaves losing out would be a meme for the ages

[@alexgammino]

Imagine they miss. Oh boy. That's gonna be one hell of a video.

[@frangooooosh]

Steve I love you man!!!!!! u say everything and not afraid!!!! RESPECT BUDDY!!!!!

[@mangoslauren]

Now this, this is the Dangle I have missed.

[@deepfriedheart9180]

Isn't it nice to get good ol' Steve back? :)

[@Kawasaki2009]

You have displayed the exact feelings I have right now as well!! They better not blow this..

[@Dfalevitch]

Dave Mishkin is good Steve he's just opinionated but I loved this video, especially as a Lightning fan

[@linkan91H]

Ah the best video all season! Man I have to stay up (I live in Sweden) and watch tor-pit to see how this story will develop and hopefully the Maple Leafs will win because even though Steve is more entertaining when they lose, they deserve to win.

[@Tweek5470]

WOOOH, passion!!!! Watched the game instead of the b's game because they already clinched the playoff spot. Thought to myself during the game "wonder how much Steve Dangle will blow up on this one". Did not dissappoint! :p

[@Tbiblaine23]

These are the types of videos I subbed for

[@veselinboyadzhiev4724]

Your best clip ever. You cannot offend our radio commentator Dave Mishkin. He is in every single TSN Top 10 Calls. Don't be worried you will make it anyway! However, it is great to see angry leafs fan screaming at his undeserving team.

[@RegulatedMilitia]

norfolk admirals aren't the tampa affiliate anymore. They were the ducks affiliate and were moved to san diego. The admirals only exist in name in the ECHL

[@OhHeyItsAlexx]

ooohh boy, can't wait to see the next vid. GO LEAFS

[@devilsadvocate3588]

Watching this after leafs clinched is funny lol

[@slurpyyyyyyy]

I KNOW RIGHT

[@D34THC10CK]

You know Steve is mad when his voice jumps an octave

[@TmasterEnvy32]

This is the best lfr all season, My all time fav, grats on finding the mishkin clip

[@soulslayer434]

Didn't watch this until now. PLAYOFFS BABY!!!!!!

[@krisb8407]

Considering my team clinched the conference, I'm about to get screamed at. Nonetheless...you're in a win-win situation, Leafs Nation. If you make the playoffs, you get to see what you have currently and tweak for next season. If you miss it (like my Hawks did in 2008), you get hungry. Sometimes you get more fire from a loss than a win (see, 2014 Western Conference Finals, game 7, OT). My theory? If you lose out this year, you're 3 years away from a Stanley Cup. If you win, who knows?

[@xnbomb]

Thank you for the doing the screaming so the rest of us don't have to ... you probably know this, but there are some us who are right there with you. I'll be very honest: I don't have high expectations for a deep run. If that WSH game was any indication, it is likely to be one and done (round that is), if we manage to make it. But I'd like to see that. I'd much prefer it to somehow managing to miss the playoffs after this remarkable season. I want this season to be different, to be a break from the past. And making it to playoffs, even if we get crushed by a first round matchup with a team that is truly better than the Leafs, would do it. So I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful that this is a new and different team from what came before 16-17. I guess we'll see on Saturday night.

[@SuperJohncena55]

Thank you Steve, I needed to see this. You let out all my frustration. Thank you.

[@luc2o]

I do want the Leafs to win, but this is so much fun. I have never heard you hit that high of a note. Also, I think that was Phil Esposito that said Good Bye Leafs. He was always a ridiculous homer.

[@askariyaw]

As a Flames fan, I can relate to those Tampa feels. It is the most pain we have ever felt.

[@jdurocher29]

THE LEAFS JUST MADE IT

[@Mountaineer3615]

As a Penguins fan, I would be honored if your Leafs beat my Pens to find their way back to Camelot!

[@itsnothardev]

my favourite part is when Steve calls the Syracuse Crunch the Norfolk Admirals

[@Yamamoto743]

Guys calm down, Pittsburgh is resting all there stars

[@PGHFan-tw1uu]

They probably will on Sunday. Saturday, however, is a different story. I would expect Crosby Kessel, and maybe even Malkin to be in the lineup on Saturday.

[@Yamamoto743]

TheIncredibleMalk71 oh your a pens fan no wo der

[@ktowniecity7269]

No they are NOT! Crosby still going for the Rocket and Malkin wants a game before playoffs. They'll be resting their stars Sunday. Crosby grew up a Habs fan and would love to stick it to the hated Leafs

[@cloud16343]

Was at the game yesterday and man that second Tampa goal from Kucherov really sucked the life out. It just looked like Tampa wanted it way more. Just listening to the fans sitting around me and the prevailing comment I kept hearing was "What is happening? We are so much better than this" Still a believer though, looking forward to an exciting and stressful weekend :)

[@andrewmassa5318]

I hope the Leafs make the playoffs, and the Habs win tonight over Tampa Bay. I'm pretty sure the Leafs fans will be cheering for Montreal to win.

[@mrneongtp2076]

Andrew M Fuck yeah!

[@azlot1429]

I'm going to watch the Montreal game today even though I'm a Leafs fan. Really want Montreal to win.

[@raiykid2030]

Andrew M hell yeah please mtl win

[@andrewmassa5318]

GO HABS GO!!

[@belainegibsson.2082]

Andrew M They have to rely on other teams to clinch for them? Weak!

[@jimbarr5416]

Haha I won't be wearing my jersey either Steve. I put it on last night and they lost. Was hoping for a different fate then the last few times I wore it. Didn't happen.

[@wittig2818]

This LFR is next level.

[@kenneththomas1629]

Live in Norway and watched the game until 3am when Tampa scored their first goal and thought to myself, well that's it there out of this one and went to bed. Two more chances to make the playoffs. I'm in, but are they ?

[@kermitthefroge3766]

no matter what happens im still very proud of what the leafs have done this season go leafs go

[@FrostyBlizzardGaming]

I was excited for this video. Steve didn't disappoint. I enjoyed this so much.

[@discohadestwo]

This is the best video I've ever seen.

[@thesniper6957]

Also Mishkin is such a good commentator that guy is hilarious

[@mrneongtp2076]

You know what, I can't believe I'm saying this but I hope the canadiens beat Tampa for the maple leafs tonight.

[@giannilibia]

I have the same NHL 17 superstition Steve. You are not alone. I'm in.

[@Mattyx128]

thank you Steve for putting into words how I feel.

[@rothermere1]

Well said Steve. OMG this was a painful game

[@mosescuh3907]

I think this video clearly portrays why Johnny doesn't talk about the Leafs in commentaries anymore.

[@nope.2690]

Im a habs fan but still just wanna say congrats for stickin to your guns and beating pit saturday night

[@khorzog]

Best video of the season.

[@SneakyBeaver]

Don't forget that the islanders also knocked the leafs out of a playoff spot on the last day of the season a few years ago aswell, steve. both teams chasing the leafs are going for repeats, lol.

[@lucadipaolo5306]

Steve Looks like that guy from the cat in the hat movie 😂🙌🏽

[@KamikazeDreamer]

I have a similar NHL video game superstition. The final score to any game I play as the Hawks on a game day or the night before has been the final score... Not always a good thing. I thought I was crazy but I don't play as the Hawks or against the team they are playing the day of or day before the game. During the playoffs, I don't play as the Blackhawks at all until they are eliminated. Not to mention I wear red boxers everytime they play and a black shirt with black and red socks for all home games. White and red socks with a white shirt for all road games (red boxers as well). Every playoff year I take my Patrick Kane jersey to be blessed by my sister-in-law's dad who is a deacon. I watch every game sitting on the table in front of my tv and play dishonored before every must win game just to get a win. And for three game six stanley cup wins, I've had tacos for dinner. Steve, you are not crazy

[@jeffbrouillette4585]

im hoping that risk aversion will slant the odds toward us, although the leafs aren't a physical team per se. For example #51 may waive his no contact clause. At ay rate we should know in short order how the game is going to go by the forecheck..if its "on" ....then they are as well. GLG

[@andrewunruh212]

Steve the leafs have done it there in the playoffs

[@michaeljoubran3415]

Just patiently waiting for Steve's next video cause THE LEAFS MADE THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hakug2587]

4:11 nice boyle impression

[@granddix]

We should all get together to watch the game with S. Dangle tomorrow night. A really good idea.

[@josephhall2013]

Steve, get ”Are You In” written down, poem/song. Dangle it baby!

[@jennifere.259]

I'm coming over with the defibrillator, Steve. BRT.

[@Partheseus]

You are a projection of my mind.

[@Hotdawgfilms]

What does the Oilers' ECHL team have to do with the Leafs losing to Tampa?

[@thefozzybear]

The best Leaf was my cousin Carlton the Bear. What a performance. Waka Waka Waka!

[@jackcavanaugh4701]

I thought the Norfolk Admirals didn't exist anymore they became the gulls I believe

[@Arrfist]

I'm sorry steve. But I love this video the most. You make me laugh in a good way bro I promise!

[@kingclips8245]

man leafs are now in the playoffs and a win tonight against Columbus means Toronto VS Ottawa first round... GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!

[@gabriellow9611]

The storm has passed with the leafs comeback in game 4

[@michaelsukut5506]

Best video since the 9-2 loss to nashville

[@anthonycirillo1446]

Classic Espo "Up yours" moment

[@mr.cactus9496]

I have one superstition. It's when my mom goes upstairs, the Blackhawks always score. So me and my dad are like "MOM STAY UPSTAIRS, WE HAVE TO BEAT THEM!" So that's what she did against the Pens game a few weeks ago and now she can barely watch the games anymore 😂

[@njdxsu4917]

"and the Norfolk Admirals" Isn't their AHL affiliate the Syracuse Crunch?

[@TheAriadneChannel]

Tampa Bay hasn't been affiliated with Norfolk since 2012

[@GGpro38]

so this is the lfr10 video equivalent to the 9-2 nashville loss :)

[@AllezTampaBay]

Dave Mishkin is the best radio commentator in Florida, Stevey.

[@shedboy4lyf]

Wow, Florida must be short of radio talent then.

[@somethingstupid5389]

ouch

[@beaver662187]

Yeah I wouldn't go around telling people that. Seems like something you should keep secret

[@herpderp1750]

He's so good that the market for hockey has clearly grown in Florida... Oh wait.

[@southtext3400]

Herp Derp Tampa Sells out every game Panthers are another story

[@rocker00000]

Tampa Bay Crunch win again!

[@NHLIjekster]

Oh Steve. I thought I was going to die with 6 minutes to go. Yes. Steve. Yes

[@Flaris]

Of course we're in. Only 2 more games. Might as well ride this out no matter the end result. Better question is whether the Leafs are in. After last night I think that's more in the air. I'm glad to have someone telling people to shove the optimism up their rears. There are good things that came out of this season. It won't freaking matter. Over the course of that season with all that good stuff, they build themselves expectation. People were willing and ready for an ok year, improve by a few points and draft around the 10th overall. By having all this good stuff, the team made their expectations. They built themselves a position where they only have to go 1-3 in their last four games to make the playoffs. So far, they are 0-2. If they screw this up. It's a failure. It's a failure with some positives you can take from it. But a failure. They pulled everyone in. Despite all the crap that came before. All the disaster. All the mediocrity. They got people to believe in this group. And here they are screwing it up. They need to wake up. Get their rears in gear. And play their best game of the entire season on Saturday.

[@phillipbougram7653]

Freddy needs to stop laying on the ice after he makes a save.... get back into position!

[@larry_2000]

Poor Steve, every time he gets optimistic and happy....this happens.

[@jack_leafs5121]

id rather listen to that in a leafs perspective than Romanuk any day of the week.. sounds like he actually cares about the team

[@JoCronje129]

Just here for the tears, loving it

[@vachier6440]

As a Bruins fan, I feel your pain Steve. The last two years have been heartbreaking though I shouldn't be talking since I haven't suffered like you. All I can say is calm down, pick another team to cheer for in the playoffs other than the leafs and enjoy the offseason

[@superdog700]

David Poudrier the suffering is too real for us lol, we need something this season

[@mr.cactus9496]

David Poudrier And 2013 *COUGH*

[@christopherjohnson1873]

David Poudrier I don't think either of the Bruins' collapses were *this* bad.

[@andrewnelson6407]

David Poudrier I was gonna say the same thing I passionately hate the leafs but since I've started watching you Steve I have slightly been cheering for the leafs and now I really want the leafs to win because it sucks to have ur team choke on the last day of the season you probably know that better than I do but as much as I hate to say it go leafs

[@vachier6440]

Christopher Johnson last year was, they just needed one fucking point against Ottawa and lost 6-1 in the final game. Plus they were first in the division in February and managed to choke

[@JackCallSports]

Isles fan here you'll be fine with us I don't think we'll make it it's the Islanders what do you expect Tampa is your real concern tho....

[@Arrfist]

To be fair we beat ourselves earlier this year. Also Stamkos and all the injuries. Good luck in the playoffs if you make it. No hate here bro :)

[@RFHockeyFan]

Pittsburgh and Columbus will rest some players. The Leafs should get at least one point in those games

[@sullivangate]

Yeah, I really want this team to make the playoffs. Because getting swept in four is gonna do wonders for team confidence.

[@povilitus]

I'm a Penguins fan, and I just desperately want the Leafs to make the playoffs. That's all.

[@seanciavarella7293]

Steve please have a drink. you are scaring us
