Was there for my first game in 9 years, drove from Sudbury and took off two days off work to bring my little guy to his first game, for his 6th birthday. We paid: 650 for tickets, 200 for a hotel room,190 for gas, 170 for a JT kids jerseys, 80 for Ubers, 250 in snacks and food (for the entire trip). My son is awesome and he still loved the experience and because of him so did I….but I would be lying if I didn’t say that in the back of my mind I am thinking “how much more would it have cost to take the whole family to Disney?” Hopefully when you get to go with Leo, it is not only a great experience because you are there with him, but because but the Leafs show up to play hockey…. I know this is long and rambley, but I have one more question/comment: Do you think think pregame scouting report meeting on the leafs goaltenders is just one word, “shoot”

[@robbie4128]

380 per person for flights from YYZ to Orlando (cheapest I saw) , 109 per person for Disney tickets, and 100 - 200 per night for accommodations, assuming 4 ppl (380 * 4) + (109 * 4) + (150 * 2 nights) = 2256 So for $716 more you get 2 days in Florida and a day at Disney.

Not sure what Mrazek could have done; 2nd goal: Mrazek is actually in good position for the initial shot, but it goes off Sandin's foot and out front. 3rd goal: Not great depth and he should have gotten back on his edges when he had a chance. 4th goal: Nice neutral zone turnover, Skinner scores on a nice shot above the pad short side from the hash. That goes in on Soupy too. 5th goal: Great forecheck by the Sabres, finds the OPEN Okposo. Nice D! So realistically, Mrazek let in one bad one.

[@Marixa1979]

That game was another fine display of Matthews' Selke skills. People of Toronto wake up, he's not a Selke candidate. He's exceptional at becoming invisible in the offensive zone and capitalizing on a nice setup from one of his teammates with his objectively deadly shot. Beyond that, he's an above average skater that's big, but doesn't play big. That's what he is in a nutshell. He's not a bad player, he's just not the god Leafs fans make him out to be.

I distinctly remember Canes fans getting super upset when the Canes let Mrazek walk and they signed Freddie in his place to go with Raanta. Needless to say, I think those Canes fans probably feel a wee bit foolish seeing how Mrazek has played with Toronto.

[@PuckNutty]

It's understood that the Canes make goalies look better than they would elsewhere (Nedeljkovic, for example). I think they feel more comfortable knowing they can settle in and make routine saves without having to scramble around. The Leafs make goalies scramble. Mrazek isn't good enough to make up for that.

[@bivdog]

Should have looked back at the Red Wings days when Mrazek took the starters job and then lost it again from Jimmy Howard.

[@sdude55]

​@@PuckNutty Agreed, although as a Wings fan, I can say that Neddy is the real deal. The Canes stellar D core/systems certainly helped prop him up, but he's been solid this year despite the fact that our defence has a lot of work to do; many of his goals against are caused by defensive breakdowns. Mrazek, however, is much the same as he was during his time with Detroit - pretty solid when he's on, but a non-option when he's off. As you mentioned, he needs more support in front in order to be effective.

[@GotHockeyPod]

I don't want to seem overly critical, but Steve I think on your analysis of the 2nd Sabres goal shows your lack of experience in the game as it pertains to where goalies should be or what they should be doing. Maybe you just didn't go back to see how that play unfolded. Mrazek was in that position off the crease because there was a shot from that side of the net. Mrazek was in perfect position(I think he was prematurely down and maybe had to slide too much into that initial Asplund shot, but still, in the right spot) and the rebound landed right on the stick of Oloffson. If Mrazek was in the proper position to stop the Oloffson rebound then Asplund would have had a giant gaping hole to shoot the puck in short side. Did he NEED to be off the crease to be in position to make the Asplund save? Maybe not, but he would not have been in a great spot either way with the time he had to react to Oloffson getting that rebound. If Sandin had stayed on Oloffson(who was owning him in front just prior to the Asplund shot) then maybe our Rasmus could have tied up a stick or done something useful. Instead he turns to Asplund not in time to do anything about him and watch the rebound go straight to Oloffson for the tap-in.

Leafs defense core stinks, yet they always blame the goalies because it's an easy excuse. It's a lot easier to blame one guy, when in reality you have a much deeper problem that most fans don't want to admit. Every year when Muzzin gets hurt, their entire time falls apart defensively, there is no structure, no battle in front, etc, etc. The Leafs out score their opponents from raw talent, but they don't ever seem to win games by playing better defense.

Wins against the leaves always feel good now matter how bad our team is

Jack Eichel 😂

[@Mike_Fahmy]

I really enjoy these LFR's 🤣

[@donniedoesdishes]

hi mike hope you are doing well

[@grahamhall1970]

Our defence is the problem. We need to figure out our defensive core, lock it in, and get consistency in front of our net. Apart from Reilly & Muzzin (who is now on LTIR) there are no veteran defenders.

My dude looking like he's about to crack the riddle of Pepe Silvia

[@thehockeykid8743]

There was a redeeming feature, the leafs didn’t blow a 3-1 lead

[@davestrange3718]

One of the best reactions... Well there was that time where a Zamboni driver...

[@BlackIjs]

Is the Vancouver loss the 8:30 a.m. alarm? ;) They need goaltending.

[@camerondurham3923]

Did you see the ticket prices?! No wonder you could hear a pin drop!

[@corporalgregg44]

I work nights and my body sometimes just sleeps through games and so far this year I slept through this game and the last game against Montreal... I somehow knew.

[@timfine4873]

"GET... A.... MMMMMMAAAAPPPP!" will never get old🤣

[@georgedare3046]

4:44 Just look at this picture. Why do the Leafs look like they have paused for a TV commercial break? Brutal.

[@harolddeshep3542]

Steve, have you considered delving into the Dangle-verse and presenting LFR as Mr. Rogers-angle where we love and value the Leafs because they are the only team in the whole world that is like them? We encourage them to try new things even if they might fail. And we all try to manage our feelings and fears together. People would support that, right?? You could make it work if you were the right cardigan. Or Hat Guy could present from his dream Matrix universe where the Leafs win every game 10-0, they sweep all playoff series, and win the Stanley Cup every season, and (people may find this part hard to believe) they operate with plenty of cap space. Or maybe Iggy could host an LFR?

My take on the Sandin quote as a Sabres fan- “True”

[@tayloroleary8880]

You know what I like more than watching hockey? Getting yelled at for not caring when a hockey team loses.

[@LOUI-e7h]

lol that was such a good game

[@mikebrowne477]

As a Sabres fan I loved everything about that game.

[@BigBones2109]

I love your videos but as a Sabres fan I can only say "Take that Dangle"!

[@BigBones2109]

I actually didn't watch the game because I was sure that the Sabres were gonna get annihilated!
