Steve when Reinhart scored the wrap around, Ohhh noooo!!! Lmao 😂 that was hilarious!! Then the emotional talk about how the Leafs bring you up here, then slam you down into the crust of the earth, LoL 😆

[@ISmith-ye4ff]

Dude as a Flyers fan, 2010 was insane. Have hope Leafs fans! Series ain't over till that final horn

[@whoanelly-]

Ya know, I was a Blackhawks fan second to the Leafs....Loved JR. When he killed that series towards Leafs with his Goal for the Flyers, if was a very complicated feeling for me. Thats the true definition of being a Leafs fan. Complications. Appreciate your rhetoric, cheers.

[@ramyamine4101]

The pain in your eyes, representing the collective trauma of the entire Leafs fan base. With love, from another fan base relishing the pain!

[@LucaVespa99]

Great video!! Pure emotion. I’m an Oilers fan. We’ve walked through the valley of shit and piss for 10 years….and still haven’t won anything yet. Hang in there

[@FullSweatTryhard]

You’re Canada’s team right now. Let’s go Oil!

[@elconquistador932]

I waited 31 years for my team to hoist the Cup. Some really rough seasons, early playoff exits, all that. Then they won 4 cups inside a dozen years. Im not a Leafs fan at all but it can happen, come backs happen, you never know. When your team finally does it, nothing is sweeter because of all those earlier hard times and failures. Im pulling for the Cats in this series but Im still very nervous.

[@jacksonkruegersports7888]

What sucks about sports is every year there’s 1 winner and 31 losers. They’re designed to break your heart. Reminder that hockey is an entertainment product, and if it’s affecting you in a negative way, there’s no shame in taking a step back.

[@Imaginehello7799]

I have had to do this, just recently. After the first round I was so invested that my emotions were a wreck. Coming to terms with the fact that there's a VERY high chance that they're not making it through to the next round has been hard but necessarily. We have to let go of things we have no control over!

[@CoinSilver800]

Need to move the cup from the left side of the wall to the right side to break the curse. left side is full of past leafs with no current leafs on it. Right side has the current leafs on it. Need to move the cup to break the curse...

[@samsee_ca]

This LFR felt like being in the eye of a hurricane. Like, yeah, I guess it’s calm out right _now._ But you can see all the buildings damaged around you. And you can see the thick clouds of the other side of the storm approaching you. It’s terrifying. But a deeper, dreadful part of you wonders how much foundational damage there’s gonna be after this storm has fully blown over. Anyways, see y’all on Wednesday - Go Leafs Go!

[@digitaldude22]

Oilers fan here, This is what most of us expected honestly. Breaking the first round curse took both an emotional and physical toll not just you as as fans, but the players too. If management can resist the urge to trade away your top core guys and retool for next season your run next year will be not to break the first round curse but to go deep. Winning in round 1 next year will not be pure ecstasy but relief followed by determination. Stay strong.

[@andrewmartin6374]

As a leafs fan I admire your team. Your best players can take over a game cause they actually card. Mcdavid and Drai and 1000x then all all good players if you can even call them good. I may have just watched my last leaf game. I can’t take the stress and I can’t take being the punch-line of every joke. Hopefully the oilers can bring the cup back to Canada cause my fraud leafs will never

[@ph1shstyx]

The fact that their Top players all have 0 points this series so far is worrying for the leafs though. Even with absolutely no one contributing on the bottom 2 lines for the avalanche, MacKinnon, Rantanen, and Makar all contributed significantly in their first round loss. The leafs really need their top players to actually contribute this series.

[@UrmomSwallow69]

​@Andrew Martin please come cheer a real team! Oilers will not let you down!!

[@zira_fluff4105]

I'm an Oilers fan to and have been watching this series as well. I'm so sad for my family and friends in Toronto that are suffering through this. It would not be so painful to watch, if the majority of the team actually tried/cared enough to put forward a strong effort - even with a loss. I obviously don't know for sure if that was the Leaf's best effort - but it sure did not appear to be in this game 3. It's seems that the dream of an all Canadian final are dashed for now. Hope Leaf's can win back some respect and put in a solid effort for Game 4 - even if they lose Game 4.

[@geographyinaction7814]

Physical toll? From what? If you think that the Leafs are beaten up after the first round, then you have zero idea of what physical hockey is.

[@matthewwygnal8429]

hysterical laughter on the ground and its not even over yet gotta love it

from edmonton - man playoff experience is a hard thing to get it hurts but keep at it leaf's nation you will get there.. and u never know its not over till its over thats why they play the games.

Thank you Steve, for providing something for my mind to focus on for 18 minutes. I am a life long Leafs fan. My 25 year old son is in the hospital with, well we don't know, but it isn't good. I just wanted to thank you for the small distraction.

[@jazzxgaming1171]

Like I have no words anymore. Was so so so damn happy when they finally won a first round series. And now I’m back to feeling absolutely defeated. Like Kampf & Laff was our best 2 forwards tonight. LIKEE WHATTTT

[@puppypaco2985]

From a Wings fan. I read the comments here and yes! I agree! The fact of knowing your team CAN win versus CANNOT is what makes losing here worse. Matthew's is in the prime of his years for an NHL forward and I know if he gets hot he can carry but I feel like a lot of his juice looks used up on the first 2 games. We shall see. Good luck to both teams moving forward

[@davidhenline7342]

Just sucks man! As an Avs fan I moved to wanting the leafs to TAKE IT ALL! Just don’t understand how this has happened truly……😢

[@ghouston6950]

As a Rangers fan, I wish Steve would do a super rant on my team lol. I think every team needs a Steve Dangle lol

[@habswingsfan8702]

Sorry to see this happen to you man I was really rooting for the leafs. THAT BEING SAID I like the panthers a lot and I’m glad to see them thriving especially without having to deal with Tampa bay. Series not over yet tho, let’s see if leafs can do smthing magical. Also shoutout to jesse Blake for that terrible take “leafs in 5”, in the Panthers Vs Leafs round 2 preview on sdpn

[@mrme9922]

Jesse also said boston in 5 so lets blame him for the jinx lol

Jesse didnt have a single good take all year long.

Just remember the feeling you had when they won in overtime in the first found. Keep that feeling every time they play and know that they can do it! Because they can

[@quicksloth4301]

I really question if Steve has another season of LFR in him

[@ChiptuneGlitch]

I've watched Steve go through 5 consecutive years of elimination game losses and not one of them made me as concerned for him as the chunk from 14:50 onwards

[@capacitatedflux]

I'll admit, I was one of the sickos who tuned in for the Zamboni Goalie'd game out of sheer spectacle, but over the years I've been led to root for the Leafs if for no other reason than Dangle's health, well-being, and sanity. The season starts now. It may end now, but more importantly it STARTS now. Treat it as such.

[@rhh3828]

It felt like it was about that time for my annual tradition of seeing how Steve’s doing this time of year. Never disappoints.

[@dyates6380]

LOL!!!!!!! Yep.

[@RegularFlyGuy]

Its what happens when you treat a first round win like a stanley cup. Feels like some players called it a season when they made it into the second round.

In 2010, I gave my Flyers 0.00% chance of coming back in that series. By game 6, I was in that building having the best time of my life. Chances are slim, but it ain't over till it's over
