LFR11 - Game 40 - Card Trick - Tor 3, VGK 6

[@DominicGibbs]

The first 2 minutes in and I can already say Steve Dangle is going to have a heart attack in 2018. On camera.

[@thesportspectator962]

Dominic Gibbs I agree with this man

[@janickengelhard4668]

It didn't happen😂

[@RelaxxedRage]

that Vegas rant was gold! This is why I love Steve, he's more passionate/enthusiastic about hockey than I am regarding any part of my life.

[@jimieljoseph2322]

J D. Yeah, he fills our voids.

[@thesportspectator962]

J D. Steve is kinda like an uncle. He fixes everything

[@TJGibson0]

Leafs are now 0-1-1 since Steve got his new jersey

[@ryanduquette571]

I can't believe you didn't mention Gallant as one of the main reasons Vegas is playing so well.

[@SteveDangle]

Ryan Duquette 5. Gallant.

[@enrique1422]

It feels good being a vegas fan because it gives me a reason to proud of living in vegas. But then october 1st happens, and the golden knight are a ray of light after a disaster

[@VegasGoldenKnightsCoverage]

Enrique Carrillo it was the distraction we needed

[@fabriziolorenzo2392]

Man, Vegas has no mercy.

[@TheSportsGirl]

Can’t wait for the next game where I can say “wow can’t believe we haven’t won/loss since last year!”. Always the highlight of my year. 😂

[@rivahkillah]

I say that at the beginning of the season as well, since years should be defined by the hockey season

[@thesportspectator962]

The Sports Girl Ahah, your videos are great. I subscribed. I'm also Beginning in the hockey world so if you or anyone looking could check out my content and we can support each other. That would be awesome!

[@Taco1011]

"HOW DEEP CAN WE GO WITH THIS D?" LMAO OH MY GOD.

Why I won't be a NHL GM, Steve: I'm trying to be an NHL player so I can torture NHL GM's.

[@VaterAyotte]

Happy New Year Dangle. Looking forward to more yelling. And screaming. And victory puppies. And firsts against our beloved Blue and White through 2018! :)

[@Jake_Broer]

Thanks for including me in the LFR, Steve. The highlight of 2017 for me. :)

[@AubreyMichelle09]

Okay but no one would have expected Karlsson would be this good (Okay me but I don’t count because he’s the reason I became a knights fan since I’ve been following him since Anaheim).

[@matthew-hn6em]

So glad the leafs are having a great year, Im a Montreal fan but we all know how that is going. It is amazing to see how quick Babcock turned everything around. Anyways happy new years everyone and lets hope Canada brings home the cup no matter which team it is! go leafs go!

[@Mohyl888]

Loved the answer Twitter question segment... You should consider do them like once a week (Each Hockey Night in Canada? Dangle's Corner lol)

[@joedigger9919]

5 months later and still one of my fave hockey bids from this seasib!!!

[@OneTeeGlory]

Steve is making me feel pretty good about my sports management studies lol

[@queenofyeay]

I gotta say that as someone who has watched NHL hockey for nearly 50 years you are perhaps the most entertaining hockey commentator I have ever seen. I mean that sincerely, your take on the Vegas e-draft was funny as hell. I only wish your team of choice was the Vegas Golden Knights... (I boarded that bandwagon early in preseason) I can safely tell you that, as a Golden Knight fan WITH that nearly a half century of watching NHL hockey, I FULLY enjoy this Disney Movie of a season by the Knights. I have lived in Las Vegas for 40 years and believe me this town had been starving for a professional franchise, that the first turned out to be a NHL hockey team seems ironic (being the desert) but the IHL Las Vegas Thunder was actually pretty popular while it lasted (I went to at least a half dozen games) In any case though your team is the Leafs I was so entertained by this video I am now SUBSCRIBED!

[@VegasGoldenKnightsCoverage]

[@rhsculls96]

the FANS!! they are the reason these boys play, they are the home record!! despite the vegas flu and the worry before the trip is even a month away this team has an advantage! wish the leafs could have that kind of home feel

[@alexgammino]

Thank you Vegas!

[@DavidL14]

Dangle with New Jersey: Leafs 0-2

[@ericwilliams1845]

That arena was hopping. As a hockey fan I can say I'm happy for Vegas men appreciatebthise fans. Keep Vegas strong and I hope you win every game always except against the Leafs:)

[@majesticalmoose1275]

Happy new year, Steve, thanks for making 2017 hockey more exciting and I look forward to more videos and Leaf wins in 2018

[@jimieljoseph2322]

This is the best we've looked since new years in the '93 season, Steve.

[@frankiegoguen6190]

I liked the Q and A part of the video. But I feel as they would be better on as a video by it self if you were to do more in the future

[@mattsmith4063]

Did you catch the knights tweeting about this video 30 minutes ago? Great stuff.

[@jamescalleja6377]

First KZbin video I watched in 2018

[@GreerFried]

I can't defend D. Sweeney exposing Colin Miller over Kevan Miller, in fact I wanted us to protect C. Miller all along. Subban on the other hand was pretty subpar for the Bruins, and Sweeney didn't draft him. Good for him he's finally playing well, but I don't much care; he's in the Western Conference.

[@MommaDal]

Greer Fried Same!! Colin Miller had some potential and Kevan Miller is just a big hitter who plays okay defensively and trash on Offense

[@queenofyeay]

As a long time Bruins fan (think Orr, Esposito, and Hodge) that's been living in Las Vegas for decades I saw Subban play for the Bruins and thought he showed SOME promise but could understand why they put him on waivers. I did not think he would be reborn in Vegas but the Knights goalie coach David Prior worked hard with Malcolm (and all the Vegas goalies obviously) to deconstruct his game, make him a LOT more contained and fundamentally sound. It has been an unqualified success. Malcolm's athleticism now adds to his newly sound fundamentals adding up to a 10-2 record for the VGK and a 2.25 GGA @ .922 save percentage. I honestly think Subban can be even better and a #1 somewhere if the Knights, for some dumb reason, don't hold on to him. The Colin Miller vs Kevan Miller situation is baffling to me too. Colin Miller has been in the thick of the Knights success, so I'm grateful Boston chose to keep the other Miller...

[@scottlinting4975]

After the Tragedy of Oct. 1 Shooting, the fact that the Knights won the away games and Won the Home opener that was dedicated to the Victims of Route 91...Even then it felt like a Movie Script made real. Only, the dream kept rollin' on. After Fleury went down people were quick to count us out, but Subban steps up and plays well. Then Subban goes down and Oscar Dansk steps up and performs well. Then Dansk goes down and Legace, our 4th String Goalie and our 5th String Goalie, Ferguson who is 19 were tasked to keep us afloat. Now Fleury and Subban are back and with each win this team gains more confidence. So yeah, it's been unreal.

[@kibslol6862]

stumbled across this video and your channel, dying laughing because its hilarious, and not in a haha, my team beat your team way, in a im very entertained, i will subscribe and watch more videos way. that being said, Vegas fan here, born and raised. Whats its like watching this disney movie you ask? Unreal. first ever pro team to our city, think about that leafs fan, most of you were born and raised with the leafs and to an extent, the blue jays. I was raised on minor league hockey (IHL Thunder and ECHL wranglers) minor league baseball, and occasional preseason/exhibition games from LA teams. Any Vegas fan that thought we would be this good this early is lying.

[@chad_b]

Lol Vegas fan born and raised? How the hell is that possible? Were you born in 2016-2017?

[@kibslol6862]

I was born and raised in Las Vegas.....used to be a Kings fan since they played preseason games here against the Avs, but when your hometown gets its first ever pro team, i think its fair to switch

[@rivahkillah]

What? You don't remember when Vegas had a pro CFL team?

[@kibslol6862]

rivahkillah hahaha the old posse???? I was only like 7 years old when they folded.

[@queenofyeay]

The old Posse? Damn, I still have a Posse T-shirt... I remember going to a Posse game at Sam Boyd stadium and a bunch of us yelling GO PUSSY GO! Every time the Posse had a good possession Hehehehe Not my best moment... Even though the Posse was a CFL team it never felt like a major league team... If anything the IHL Las Vegas Thunder was probably the closest thing to a success story in Las Vegas, and they had some real NHL talent at that time like Curtis Joseph and Radik Bonk, both had some time here, but for all that the Thunder was a fan favorite it was still a minor league team.

[@natedawes8989]

The golden knights are basically Wiley Coyote running off the edge, moment they look down, they’re toast

[@SasukeJR]

As far as your comment on the Leafs' D-core, what if Gardiner returned to his form of last year? That would be like having two Riellys and our top 4 wouldn't be too bad but we'd lean on them heavily in the playoffs. Would we be able to beat teams like Vegas, Tampa, Nashville? It'd be tough.

[@davidmccalla3609]

Happy New Year to you and your wife Steve!

[@morgansherman2503]

Steve I live here, own quite a bit of merch, and have been to a game, and I still can't believe we have a team let alone a population.

[@matthewcreally5772]

sees the length of the video *grabs popcorn*

[@ericwilliams1845]

I know he has been hurt and I'm not sure the extent of the injury but I wonder if the coyotes would move hjalmarsson? Expiring deal after next season and if he gets acknowledged healthy he could be a deadline move worth getting.

[@Thundermonk99]

Oi Steve, Defense comes from both Forwards and Dmen. Whether the Leafs can do well with their Defense depends just as much (if not more) on the defensive work of their forwards as it does on their defensemen. The Leafs don't need another mid-range dman. They need one of the *better* top 4 d, and that won't make sense cap-wise until some of our existing dmen are off the books. It may be best to wait for Liljegren and Dermott to make the jump, rather than overspend now. A solid 3C is something the Leafs *do* actually need. Bozak is up at the end of the year and shouldn't be resigned. We have nobody in the pipeline that would make sense at 3C, and if Willy is moved there, Auston needs a 1RW so our top line can perform. Moore is also up at the end of this year, meaning we have 2 C spots to fill. I'm guessing that the Leafs defence will look a ton better with upgrades at 3C and 4C.

[@alufkin21]

“He’s cheap, he’s big, right-handed shot, he’s on an expiring deal, maybe A-” YES TAKE SUSTR “-lex Petrovic” oh

[@Clubpenguin22]

Polak, marincin, OUT! NOW!

[@DarthBrandis]

Plurmp Dankenstein Don't forget Gardiner too.

[@Clubpenguin22]

Brandon Grass I can live with Gardiner but Polak and Marincin have to IMMEDIATELY go

[@Hushoo]

I agree with cloning another Hainsey and Rielly for the PK. (But surprisingly enough, both guys are playing pretty well recently, especially given their cap hits. If you want a scapegoat, go for Komarov. Dude isn't even scoring at Polak's pace)

[@jimbeaver27]

I can't believe Leafs aren't giving some young Marlies Dmen a chance right now. Babs must think the Leafs can slide a bit more. Remember last winter's slide?

[@Hushoo]

Jim Davis or maybe they want to see them play meaningful minutes in the AHL as opposed to getting the Carrick treatment and playing for 13 minutes a night.

[@coltukkor]

Personally I can see the Leafs going after Erik Gudbranson sometime this year.Vancouver will likely be sellers...he is a UFA a 6”5 Right shot Dman that can kill penalties.Not sure if the analytics support a move like this but Im sure at the right price Babcock would see him as an upgrade of sorts.

[@22grabage]

Vegas also their first ever shootout against the Leafs, if I remember right.

When ya said the thing about how Tuukka won’t be able to stop .950 of the shots he faces forever.. its kind of the same thing with the leafs.. Freddy has won them a lot of games that they didn’t deserve to win..

[@toast1591]

iBrxdleyy He did it all of last year, so it's not crazy to think that he'll do it again.

[@blogfirstlast]

not a bad point

[@thesportspectator962]

I, 4-1, would love to see a Bruins-Leafs rematch ;)

[@KuroiandNoukon]

But aren't you glad Brendan Leipsic didn't score on the Leafs (yet)?

[@ericwilliams1845]

Doughty said it best after their recent loss to Vegas. They are a team made up of other teams third liners and good ones at that. Those guys are the toughest to play against. Add in a good defense and really good goalie and wasn't impossible to see them as a fringe team for playoffs. But they have blown even that modest prediction away and deserve a ton of credit. From top to bottom. I don't think they need to tank to be good. I think they have some core pieces worth keeping and adding to through the draft via all the picks they have.

[@alessandrosirro4986]

The leafs are 20th in GAA this year

[@georgeboccanfuso6076]

The empty net goal was the epitome of the game. Again slow poor start the second and third were mainly even?

[@andrewramsay4974]

The leafs do not need one defenseman, they need 2 to contend. The current guys they have need to be bumped down 2 spots each to be effective excluding our top pairing who i dont mind saying could also use some humble pie

[@NHLIjekster]

Steve what are your opnions on Jack Hughes out performing Auston matthews at the same age? Between him, Byfield, Lafreniere, Holtz, Dahlin, and Svechnikov, the upcoming years seem to be the most impressive years ever.

The pee on a leg trick is a myth, just like the idea that Gardiner is a good defenceman regardless of the points he puts up.He doesn't do his job. It would be like suggesting a goalie that can't make a save to save his life his good because he gets more assists than other goalies.

[@rodchallis8031]

I think what is holding me back from being a GM is my lack of French. But then, millions could say the same. Leafs D: I think the attention is on getting a top notch right handed shot, but you are not going to get that without moving one of the Leaf core "untouchables". And I don't think it's necessary. No, I don't think the Leafs are a contender with this defense corp. But I think maybe they could be if they added just the right player on defense. Think in terms of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. You are probably on the right track with Petrovich.

[@herald0fmanwe]

Vegas got to pick a team built of 6th forwards and 4th defensemen. Given that they presumably chose defensemen from teams deeper on defense and forwards from teams deeper up front, they built a team of genuine top 6 forwards and middle pairing defensemen. Add to that a couple second goalies from teams with 2 good goalies, and the Knights SHOULD be a good team. Additionally, they got to pick contracts they liked. The Knights are good because the expansion rules were absurdly kind to Vegas. Every bad NHL team should be livid that Vegas was all but guaranteed a better team than they have.

[@williamdougie6213]

herald0fmanwe must be nice to be handed a contending team while other teams have to suffer and rebuild. Just shows you how messed up the Nhl is.

[@jadegreen3367]

I'm glad someone mentioned that Vegas is the first expansion team to be made under the new expansion rules! It feels like everyone forgets sometimes...

[@lvhatrick]

Just absurd......I’d bet you’re one if the people that was saying that Vegas wouldn’t win more than 30 games after the team was picked. Almost everyone was saying how bad of picks McPhee did in his picks. It’s funny how everyone’s tones changes while eating their words. Go cry some more....

[@jadegreen3367]

Before Vegas ever picked, we had a decent sense of who and what they were going to get. I personally really like Vegas (it's definitely on my top 5 teams), but I really dislike when everyone adds before their successes, "even though they're an expansion team." Because while I give credit while credit is due, it's not like you can compare Vegas to any other expansion team that has ever existed. The rules are different. Even when people mention that Vegas will be the first expansion team that has a winning record, I have to shake my head, because that's like comparing oranges to apples, even if you want to argue on technicality. What Vegas should get credit for is dominating the Pacific with players that have never played as a unit before. The new expansion draft rules ensured that they would have at least a middle-of-the-pack roster, but they took what could have easily been an average team and made it a playoff-viable team in their first run.

[@AkaSilverShroud]

Jeff Thorn I agree with what you said in terms of if the context you stated is true but you are assuming he ever doubted the team McPhee picked... he could have had his opinion the whole time in which case he makes valid points and isn't really crying but trying to draw attention, however if he doubted the success of Vegas at any point it becomes a double standard and you are correct
