The replay of the Lightning swooping round to jump on DeAngelo, in slow motion, to Sweet Caroline, was some kind of cinematic comedy gold.

[@HDreamer]

Bonus points for the rest of the Flyers just standing there and being like "you brought this on yourself Tony, don't expect us to do anything" lol

[@hunteradkins1565]

Another dangit for the Lightning in the Carolina game is that they did not have a shot on goal for the entire second period. At the start of the third they had 4 total shots.

[@mrutherford1106]

Nah that's a Hat-Pick

[@PatrickRoy30]

Think San Jose had 5 SOG going into the 3rd against the Avalanche. At one point in the 2nd, the Avs were up 5-0 and San Jose had 2 SOG

Just wanted to comment on that, that's insane.

[@JH22533]

Not to mention the whole shutout and goal differential

[@rjay._.1]

@@PatrickRoy30 pretty much, but it was like 34-7 in favour of the avs. Dominant would almost be an understatement lol

Producer Nick deserves a hat pick next week for all the extra work you made him do on that last dang-it.

[@99brendanallen]

I wanna hear an uncensored version of that 😂

[@alphaspursncowboys]

12:45 Steve you missed the best part of the Dunne penalty he got pulled from the box after 24 seconds by the concussion spotter. He gets no call from being hit in the head, gets sent to the box, and not even half a minute later play is stopped refs get together to review something, Dunne is sent to a quiet room and Eberle serves the rest of Dunne's penalty.

[@SverigeiSverige]

Dunn isn't done. 😃

[@gew9919]

Do we really have to bleep balls now a days? Thank you Steve for running with that one, good bit bro, laughing my BALLS off

[@nicksojka7457]

Rod Brind'Amour deserves to be in the HOF for containing Tony DeAngelo for an entire season.

[@ReviewyCA]

DeAngelo gets two games. One for each (BLEEP) that he speared.

[@kevinstull8552]

DeAngelo should have gotten suspended for every time Steve said (BLEEP) in this video 😂.

[@christophermusso]

@Reviewy McReviewface Wondered if there'd be a comment along these lines. Was not disappointed. 😁👍

[@andrewa9700]

Newhook even stopped for a second and smacked the puck away like someone waiting to get called for a penalty 😂

[@grezno]

DeAngelo’s whole career has just been one giant free fall. it’s real sad too cause we saw what he’s capable of on the Hurricanes when he’s on his A-Game

[@Asymmetrical-Saggin]

Racist POS that takes cheap shots any chance he can. Someone needs to speed up his retirement

[@nicksojka7457]

I will forever be amazed that Rod Brind'Amour and the Hurricanes' locker room were able to keep this guy drama-free for an entire year. Rod deserves the HOF for that.

[@709mash]

That team probably couldn't stand him either just like the Rangers. He's always pissed about it, but the common denominator is always him. Oh, and he's said some pretty racist stuff all through his hockey career. His just an all around POS. At least guys like Perry and Marchant are good guys off the ice.

[@tdfmtig]

@@709mashwhat is one racist thing he has said

[@JAAMcrew]

[@THE_bchat]

My favorite part of the DeAngelo clip is seeing the rest of the Flyers on the ice basically let the Lightning have their way with him, as if to say "yeah, we don't care".

[@DDWyss]

Any clip of someone spearing Corey Perry in the groin should be a hat pick, not a dang-it.

[@Dratchev241]

@@DDWyss well it shouldn't happen period... but its Perry so my feel sorry meter don't really move.

[@JH22533]

Perry is another trash player but at least he's a decent person off the ice. And the Philly team letting Tampa go at TD just goes to show what a cancer he really is.

[@DDWyss]

@@Dratchev241 Exactly! No one should do that, but since it didn't happen, it couldn't have happened to a "nicer" guy!

[@SamboniGames]

@@DDWyss As a Lightning fan I was a little upset when I first read this, but then I thought, "I loved it when Marchand got speared," so i totally see where you're coming from.

[@dakkonfury]

To pile on to that last dang-it, when DeAngelo got jumped by the entire tampa squad, his own teammates just stood there and watched. They're like "Nope, you did the dumb."

[@deusvult6920]

Bc real men don't hit other men in the balls. You do that no one will respect you

[@charge416]

The best part of the Murphy dang-it is if you watch the way he falls back out of the bench, it's so similar to how he entered that it looks like someone pressed rewind on the video lol

[@tamirshimshoni8185]

There's something about seeing Pat Maroon body slam Tony D'Angelo that really warms my heart.

[@abruptpegasus]

Ya know, even as an Avs fan, I was watching and just super confused at the chain of events that led to a Sharks penalty... I totally expected the Avs to (rightly) take a penalty. I don't think it was on purpose, it just looked sloppy to me, but I can't believe how that didn't get called right in front of the ref.

[@johncox7169]

The reason it didn't get called was because it really looked (from every angle) that the stick just hit Karlsson in the chest. The ONLY reason we know that it hit him in the face is because of the blood. Even with a replay it still doesn't look like a high stick, so I can understand a Ref missing it at full speed.

[@SharksSJ408]

That ref Gord Dwyer actively hates the Sharks. Every game he refs for us he blatantly screws us over. He should never be allowed to ref a game for us ever again

[@Milehighsnake98]

@@johncox7169 I was at that game and said the same thing. I was shocked it didn't get called. On another note, it was hilarious when the Sharks goalie tried to tackle one of the forecheckers because if he didn't, it was a certain goal (as if having a 6-0 lead at that point, another goal would have mattered)

[@countof3everybodyOD]

If you’re a goalie tend the goal just really makes me appreciate how amazing Brodeur was even more. Was like having a third defenceman

[@encycl07pedia-]

goaltender* "Goalie" undermines the whole thing.

[@marcotiberio6288]

But at the time brodeur was also allowed into the corners giving him earlier access to the puck and better positioning/time to manipulate it. I agree brodeur was amazing at it. Mind you it was way more entertaining to see hashek go for it

[@GeoFitz4]

On the Karlsson part that you said about not being able to review a non-call double minor. I think this year that we have gotten the refs calling more majors so they can review, which has been great, but I think there's still times where the refs chicken out and call a minor when they really should be starting at the major and reviewing it. Or the problem of "I know something happened, but not what, so I guessed what call and it was the wrong call so now I can't give a minor." If you know something happened, and you didn't see it, the refs should be able to review it and then make the correct call, not let a guy get away with it on a technicality because the referee guessed at what happened, and guessed wrong.

[@jkliao6486]

Then give the coach a chance to challenge for a penalty if a player on the team is bleeding. If failed, 2 minutes for delay of game.

[@justinforster7258]

We really gotta ask ourselves, “how bad is the officiating this season if it’s winding up in Steve’s dang-its?”

[@Qjinhow]

How am I not surprised, as a bruins fan, that the precedent for spearing someone was set by Marchand 😂

[@exoticdinosaur9538]

The DeAngelo penalty has to be one of the funniest dang it’s because as we see the penalty happen sweet Caroline is just happily playing in the backround

[@mattb5268]

Surprisingly, the Lightning should've been in it another time for their no shot 2nd period

[@c.maltese3939]

Hey, thanks for publishing this a bit earlier this week so we can enjoy this Thursday night in Europe too! 🥳

[@jackmanley1473]

And I'm already here wondering if all 10 of the Stars' goals against the Sabres make next week's Dang-Its. Sheesh.

[@samihukka4490]

That last rant made my whole week!! Thanks Steve!

[@madness486]

1. The foward playing defenseman thing remided of the flyers having to play Justin Braun as a winger for two games within the span of two weeks. 2. The best part, IMO, of that whole DeAngelo situation is JVR's expressions and the rest of the flyers barely coming to DeAngelo's aid 😂😂 they just stand there thinking "should we help him?" before barely helping him

[@pizzazombie5209]

Vasilevskiy even makes "... not tending the goal" look impressive.

[@detectivekraken9884]

He's genuinely good enough that it almost never backfires on him, but man, he does love to play the puck.

[@ultra.genesect]

I think it’s a Dang-It that we don’t get more cute little interactions between Steve and Producer Nick. Edit: in regards to the DeAngelo spearing, don’t forget when Yanni Gourde got gored in the Yannis.

[@neilweir-smith8228]

You missed a second dang it in the Avs-Sharks game. Sharks goalie went to play the puck in the corner and to avoid being on dang its he just grabbed hold of the Avs player and took a penalty instead, think that should get a "good attempt at not getting on dang its but still...." dang it.

[@TippiGordon]

Unmentioned in the Carter Hart gaffe is how poorly Rasmus Ristolainen plays it. Not only does he not actually do anything useful, he makes it more difficult for Hart to get back in the crease. As a Sabres fan who watched Risto never fail to make a bad situation worse for many years, this is the most glaring part of the clip.

[@skyatollah2skyharder276]

Yeah, the announcer going that Hart was waiting for backup from Risto had me like "Yeeeeeeah... That ain't happening."

[@alexkapparos6878]

Recommendation for next week's dang it's: Vegas vs Tampa the day this video came out, 10 GAME MISCONDUCTS IN THE THIRD PERIOD

[@uncleike6211]

As much as that's a dang-it for Carter Hart, that was a pretty smooth move to get back in the crease.

[@tr0picaltornad0]

DeAngelo- I'm gonna spear Perry no one is looking. All Lightning players on the ice- So you have chosen death

[@media_crone]

I'm gonna be that pedantic person, Tyson Jost was claimed on Waivers by the Sabres from the Wild back in the fall lol.

[@chriscollins2147]

I feel like producer Nick had as much fun bleeping out Steve, as Steve did saying those bleep words 😂

[@tglidesci]

another dangit for Tony D was how his team didn't really try that hard to help him after he got jumped.

[@arya_moghadam]

The Erik Karlsson penalty was really frustrating. Especially when we were already losing 6-0 and being outplayed extremely badly. That was a poor missed call by the refs

[@kolasillers7776]

17:55- there's also Crosby did it to ROR and didn't even got 2 minutes.

[@Jabberwok28]

I just came here to mention that - talk about tie going to the vet.

[@timgrant09]

Ovi on trent frederic too

[@danshobbies13]

If a player has visible blood on his face, that should be reviewed. If they can take 5 minutes for an offsides, they can take a minute to see why this player’s face is bleeding. A 2 game penalty is one game for each nut.

[@stache_bro]

I was thinking....You should have 2 more videos each month. 1 that takes the best of the hat picks for that month and call it "That Was Nasty", and another with the worst dang its and call it "That's Gotta Hurt" or something like that. I would watch it. Especially cause with commentary.

[@jayd5541]

Steve: uploads Dang-its. The Sabres: do we still have time to submit tonight's 10-4 loss at home?

The best part is that we could see parts of that game in both features next week

[@ahalvin52]

At a bar I watched both the Pens comeback vs the Jackets and DeAngelo spearing Perry in the nuts / Hart flop behind the net. That was a wild two games to watch side by side

[@mayneeventgamer6505]

I got hit with the puck on the side of my eye once, blood gushing down my face, finished my shift (1st shift of the game btw) and went to the bench to ask a few of the extras if I needed stitches. Got off to go the the front desk to get a butterfly bandaid, got back on the ice close to the end of the 1st, and played the rest of the game. In the 3rd period, I lined up for the faceoff and one of the refs looks at me and says, "Did you get that today?" I just had to shake my head. The guys paid to watch the game don't see 90% of what goes on during it.

[@ALAH13]

One highlight I think was missed in this video was the Minnesota Wild getting their game winning goal against the Flames called back after the offsides.

[@brittanyreilly4536]

i agree, i watched that game and turned it off after the flames bench mostly had gone down to the change room, then woke up next morning to find out that the flames had actually won after the fact lol. they need to speed up those reviews, makes me wonder how many people left that game not knowing it was actually over lol.

[@johnathanpatrick6118]

How did I know this gaffe by Vasilevskiy was gonna be the leadoff dang-it...?! 🤣🤣

[@uranium54321]

Also belongs in the no-call section: Lightning’s Cernak elbowing Sabres’ Okposo (who has a lot of concussion history) in the face hard enough that he was bleeding afterward. And to confirm it wasn’t just because they didn’t want to make any potentially outcome-altering calls near the end of the 3rd period, they call a bs delay of game penalty on the sabres shortly after that.

[@evflyguy]

Surprised you didn't include the Quinn ejection.

[@Bryz0n]

Nah the fact that Dwyer didn’t call the high sticking to Karlsson was far more egregious. There has to be a precedent for when there is visibly spilled blood to see what happened. There’s just no excuse

Despite strongly disliking the Kings, about a decade ago the Kings were a strong candidate to sign Brad Richards and I thought it would be great if they got him for a similar reason.

Oh thank Christ, a positive clip for the Sabres. The two Tampa games have been the only positives we've had in the last like ten games.

In case everyone is confused there is another Matt Murray that is a goalie for Dallas. They did not trade with Toronto. Murray came from UMass Amherst.
