[@Pottan23]

The funny thing about the Panarin Marchand glove situation is that the ref immediately, without looking, stops Marchand from stealing it lol

[@taurusteelpan]

The fact that Brandon Lemieux’s bite incident is age restricted on KZbin is the real Dangit.

[@minimangaming3965]

I agree

[@FN32DXer]

so many fights are also age restricted

[@muffinmanbran5747]

Charlie bit my finger is not age restricted... Did the NHL take over youtube with their bullshit. lol

The biggest dang-it of 2021 - in Producer Drew's eyes - is incredibly painful, as a Pens fan. I said it back in May, and I'll say it again: TRISTAN JARRY, WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING?!

[@pensavspatsfandom98]

As a Penguins fan for over a decade I never seen a goal being allowed like that, Especially in a big game scenario in a playoff series. To this very day, I still can’t believe that happened! What was he thinking!?

[@manwithamic2372]

He wasn't thinking, he was a young goaltender in his first big pressure situation in the playoffs, dumb stuff like that'll happen when you're feeling the heat

[@kylerpaterson9993]

I just wanna say you have one of the most random favorite teams I’ve ever seen and I love it

[@leifopstad2972]

And somehow that wasn't the worst play that happened in a Pittsburgh sports game

[@jonathanfragale2903]

I would have though the Panarin/Wilson drama would make the list. As a rangers fan, I definitely haven’t forgotten about it

[@thomasbrauer5538]

I would have put it in the top 5 at least. That whole thing was a huge dangit

[@martinhoude3518]

The Panarin/Wilson intercation would likely be demonetized as well. It was violent, dangerous and unnecessary from Wilson (and foolish from Panarin, but he'd been under very high pressure off the ice). The drama in the Rangers front office that followed, however, was indeed worthy of a Dang-It. Montréal certainly started to reap some benefits from it (by hiring Gorton). Time will tell where that leads.

Thank you, Steve, for putting Dang-its and Hat Pics together. I look forward to them every week! Being a goalie myself, I LOVE your reaction on a lot of the goaltender saves that make the hat pics (ESPECIALLY the paddle save emporium)... yet, I also enjoy "IF YER A GOALTENDER, TEND THE GOAL!" Side note. When you said "Spasibo" (the russian thank you), closed captioning put it as "spacebars."

[@booster247]

Thank you, Steve (and Drew, wherever you might be) for all the great videos and wonderful times you've shared with us. Wishing you and your families a happy and healthy New Year, and I look forward to seeing more of your great content then.

[@mr.trombone8290]

Only thing I really felt was missing, as many others have said, was the Tom Wilson vs. NYR bullhockey, but I also get it if they didn't want to beat that dead horse. Still, feels like it holds the crown of "Dang-it #0" to me to that end; we all know the truest dang it of the year, aside from these 14.5, is that one. It holds the unspoken crown. I mean... when you get a team like the Rangers to a point to have to speak out against the league and you yourself can make more than half a dang its video talking about it, that tops any whiffed call from the refs, any own goals, and any goaltenders who DON'T TEND THE GOAL! All that aside, great content as always, and looking forward to a wonderful 2022 watching some good ol Steve Dangle content 🙂

Was always proud of Panarin for speaking truthfully about the political situation in Russia. Especially being a public figure from there. He has a lot of eyes on him. Ballsy move. Just glad his family is okay.

[@patward8542]

Can’t imagine what Fleury was thinking when he gave that puck away. I think VGK traded him to punish him for that blunder.

[@MV-rt4hy]

he obviously didn’t mean to give it away lol. the puck bounced unexpectedly off the board, so when MAF tried to pass it, it hit his skate.

[@abntemplar82]

if you play hockey at any level, you have probably committed one or two of these kinds of mistakes/dang its, i know i have. ok well not the biting thing, but the rest of the goalie ones anyways. the only difference is when it happens to us we break sticks, someone else we laugh our asses off. Got to love Hockey. Happy New Year Steve and Co. Thanks for the laughs looking forward to more.

[@slipperynodd578]

How is the fleury dang it not top 3, there is few things worse then costing your team a third round series (I don’t think the head bang was worse)

[@davidj.a.8442]

Agree with you. I think it was just an editing decision to have some space between that and the Jarry play - like not putting back to back slow songs on a playlist. As a fan of none of those teams, the pens one was worse. With Fleury it kind of happened TO him. With Jarry, it happened BY him

[@jackwerst8802]

I remember a play in a Bruins game where a player on the opposing team (Blackhawks maybe?) broke his stick, and threw one of the pieces carelessly and it went over the boards. The refs gave him and his team a penalty, then at the next stoppage they allowed the other team to be even strength because the guy didn't mean to throw the stick over the boards and didn't know it wasn't allowed. Their logic was that he should be punished for his wrongdoing but the team shouldn't be. There's an example of a penalty being erased part way through

[@robloxwithacetheavenger4908]

Something similar happened in 2005 to Mats Sundin. He threw the stick over the crowd and didn't get penalized. The league suspended him for 1 game. Also in, like, 2016, when Steven Stamkos got a misconduct for throwing the stick into the crowd.

[@alanvanasch4793]

34:35 Option 1: Safe pass to Matheson left Option 2: Slightly dangerous but reasonable pass to Malkin right Jarry: Up the middle and on the tape of Bailey for the GWG Defensemen don't even go up the middle. Only time I'll agree with Pierre. You just can't do that

[@lefertheloafer]

[@TheEDFLegacy]

The worst thing with Fleury's gaffe is that not only did it caused a cascade that very well could be the Catalyst for Montreal winning the series, it is also likely the catalyst for Fleury being effectively traded for free. I feel for the guy.
