I liked Simmonds in this game. He and Spezza never give up. I thought Dermott seemed pretty solid to but I only saw from Spezza's goal onwards. I think Spezza's face after they scored right after his said it all for me.
As a philly fan, I loved Wayno when he was with us. He could score, he can fight, but his heart and grit is what pulled the boys through so much! It's great to see him showing the same characteristics at toronto
Funny that you mention Hyman, and he adds 2 more goals tonight and is 1st in another Edmonton win. He has almost twice as many goals as Willy, Matthews, Marner, and Tavares combined. They obviously let the wrong player get away.
I mean, Hyman is also in a pretty well ideal situation there in Edmonton. Not to discredit his success, but he's playing with Connor McDavid, and admittedly a lot of players have failed to succeed on McDavids wings, but he wouldn't be getting the quality of setups he's getting if he were on the Leafs.
@@reaganharder1480 Hyman has played mostly with Nugent-Hopkins and Yamamoto and not on McDavids Wing 5 on 5. Any player is better with McDavid, but Hyman can be effective anywhere in the lineup and in any situation.
@@algrundau9441 Oh, I'm not doubting his versatility. Big Hyman fan here. I'm just pointing out that you can't say his production is independent of McDavid, because McDavid has assisted on 80% of his goals so far, and has an assist on a goal that McDavid also has an assist on.

I'm so glad Kase scored last night. He got injured so early last season with Boston that he couldn't do anything. I hope he keeps finding his game with the Leafs, even though they're divisional rivals
Straight up, always liked Nylander. Even got the Swedish version of one of the NHL games cause he was on the cover. Glad to see him doing well after he almost shot himself in the foot with the contract negotiations.

As an Oilers fan watching Zach Hyman play lights out hockey on a line with Connor and Pulijarvi, I have one question: *WTF WERE YOU THINKING LETTING HIM GO LEAFS NATION*
Steve, you are finally there. You’ve suffered enough by the hands of the Leafs that you have accepted the fact that the players just don’t care. Not all, Jason Spezza cares but I can tell you Mitch and Austin sure don’t.
I don't think that M&M don't care. I just don't think they can play the type of hockey that wins playoff games. Crosby was like, the greatest grinder in the corners for a good five years. M&M are sick offensively but it's obvious they don't have the aggression necessary to win a cup.
@@janihaavisto79 sadly that's not the worst loss in the past 5 postseasons. Look up our Boston series, giving up multiple goals in the 7th when we had that game won.
As a Habs fan.. this makes me feel good about turning our season around. What wonderful content! Thank you Dangle for being in check with reality unlike 90% of the fan base. Cheers!
I guessed William Nilander and I was right, he has played well and has 2 goals out scoring, Tavares, Marner and Mathews even though he just got back, Spezza and Bunting also have 2 goals the rest of the team has 5 goals combined and Nilander, Spezza and Bunting have 6 all together. that's 11 goals in 5 games so that's not horrible, but we need to see more from the top guys this season, we don't want what happened in the last 3 games against Montreal in the playoffs to last all season.
I used to think that Marner and Nylander played a similar style of hockey, fantastic skater with great vision on the ice, never understand why one gets paid more. It's quite clear now while one has evolved to be a figure skater, the other has evolved to become an efficient all around player who shoots, makes plays and back check. I'll keep saying this too, they need to give the A to Spezza.
Maybe Aiden Hill can actually do it for the Sharks. Backup is Reimer, so I don't know what to think. I'm just happy we got rid of Dubnyk. I saw last season happen before it started . . .
Glenn Hall played 502 consecutive games in net, without a mask...the myth that 'modern' goalies can't play back-to-back games, or every night, is about as credible as the 'lone gunman' theory. And there goes Koskinen disproving it again....
11.6M, 10.9M vs. 2.5M. Why would anyone criticize the player on the line being paid less than a quarter of his linemates for the poor play of the first line? Ritchie is being paid as a 3rd line player, so why the hate?
You can thank dubas for overpaying all the forwards and this is the reality Also Morgan Rielly is a UFA next summer and we all know how much defenceman are getting paid
I think your frustration is 100% justified Steve. I'm even older then you brother, and I force myself to be positive about the start of each season and then they remind me why not to be positive. #frustrating
Andersen wasnt the issue in Toronto as you can see when a goalie plays behind a reliable defence they succeed. Leafs have given up double the amount of goals this year already compared to the Canes. Nobody should be surprised Freddy is thriving so far with that defence group there, minus Dougy.

With the Leafs its like "forwards only play offense, defence has to take care of everything else" no backchecking no nothing for the Leafs. Its very rare to see someone on that team do something....
My dad looked at me with a strange look when I told him I drafted Spezza with my last pick in fantasy. He’s the only Leaf who shows up every single game.
Phenomenal channel. Steve is an entertainment gem when the Maple Leafs lose or blow it--which they are apparently REALLY good at in an uncanny way. Weirdest franchise on Earth. He reminds me of an always-disgruntled Philadelphia sports fan during the 1960's: no hope, all frustration, and utter disallusionment in a MAJOR sports market. Bravo. The Leafs may not win the Cup for another century, but they've got this.
Bunting - Matthews - Nylander Kerfoot - Tavares - Marner Spezza - Engvall - Kase Ritchie - Kampf - Simmonds Lines 3 and 4 should be playing basically the same amount of time, just for different reasons. The “4th line” is truly your shutdown/rough and tough line and the “3rd line” is a good energy line
love the way you started the out lol like you knew that left hook was coming , great goal from the high slot and oh man in the crease , that's 5 and richie has how many , maybe next game lol
Well, kinda. It looked like there is Vegas, there is Edmonton, then there is a 4-team pack (CGY, VAN, LAK, SEA), and then there are Sharks and Ducks. Vegas isn't that good right now. Injuries. Edmonton is that good, though. Flames are, well, hard to tell Canucks are Canucks Kings feel like they made a step, but not a big enough step Krakens are somewhat disappointing. I was expecting them to be better, I thought their scouting/analytics were better. Sharks are somehow awesome. Does ditching Kane help so much? Ducks are fine, exceeding expectations, but that can't be sustainable. Right? Maybe wrong... So, feels like the division isn't that straightforward, but I'm not sure it's exceeding expectations.
I dunno if I saw the same game as you guys. It was a close game, and hutch let in a couple of crappy goals (which isn't a huge deal for a 3rd string goalie). Eh, I'm not really upset.
I called that Bunting would be up there but thought he might actually be in the lead lol feels like his name is everywhere when they're playing. Guy has been doing well.
For what it's worth, the Penguins starting center is Evan Rodriguez, Crosby and Malkin have yet to play, Carter is in Covid Protocol, and Rust is week to week. Penguins play better against everyone when they're short handed, but surely they're beatable.
me: sees penguins have basically a shitty ahl roster for tomorrow against toronto

Kinda wish the leafs would play their ahl roster. They might actually show some give a damn
Never bet on the leafs …lol
I always put 10 bucks on the other team, because either way I’ll be happy. Either my team wins or I make money
Spezza declaring that he'll retire if anyone picks him off of waivers is still my favorite power move in NHL history.

I wonder if the Pacific division is going to be better than people think.
Canucks are the weakest link but yeah I think so
Well, kinda.
It looked like there is Vegas, there is Edmonton, then there is a 4-team pack (CGY, VAN, LAK, SEA), and then there are Sharks and Ducks.
Vegas isn't that good right now. Injuries.
Edmonton is that good, though.
Flames are, well, hard to tell
Canucks are Canucks
Kings feel like they made a step, but not a big enough step
Krakens are somewhat disappointing. I was expecting them to be better, I thought their scouting/analytics were better.
Sharks are somehow awesome. Does ditching Kane help so much?
Ducks are fine, exceeding expectations, but that can't be sustainable. Right? Maybe wrong...
So, feels like the division isn't that straightforward, but I'm not sure it's exceeding expectations.
Anyone else rewatching this while waiting for the penguins video?
Sharks Fan here (so weird not using Sharts), baffled how they're 4-0. I knew this would be a extra interesting LFR. lol
Sharts 4-0 Sabers are 3-1 leafs meh 2-2-1 and the habs... 0-5 Vegas 1-3 isles 1-2-1 this is so ain't right.
Leafs should get zambooni drivers to play for them prob get more going on the leafs roster besdies spezza he a legend
I dunno if I saw the same game as you guys. It was a close game, and hutch let in a couple of crappy goals (which isn't a huge deal for a 3rd string goalie). Eh, I'm not really upset.
Matthew's -3 OMG 😂😂😂😂
It’s early in my opinion. They need to get some thing going. Maybe put John with Auston and Mitch for actually some time
@@sandisaustrisapse Bro. My man. My homie. It's plus-minus. No one actually cares about plus-minus.
@@Outta-hz1ej STILL. How much is he paid? And......nothing, he contributed NOTHING this game. Not to mention Marner, FFS 11mil for that crap
@@sandisaustrisapse Plus-minus is a minor hockey statistic. putting stock in (+/-) makes me question how much of a hockey fan you REALLY are.
Steve Dangle is a wonderful Commentator!
I called that Bunting would be up there but thought he might actually be in the lead lol feels like his name is everywhere when they're playing. Guy has been doing well.
Thanks for voicing my pain...our pain
For what it's worth, the Penguins starting center is Evan Rodriguez, Crosby and Malkin have yet to play, Carter is in Covid Protocol, and Rust is week to week. Penguins play better against everyone when they're short handed, but surely they're beatable.
Can anyone remember watching Marner score a power play goal or a playoff goal ?
How about just a goal lol
Kase did that move a lot in Anaheim. Kid’s got some mitts. Wish he hadn’t gone through his injury troubles.
Willie my boy! 5 points
I went to highschool will Zach Hyman. He's a local hero, there's a picture of him in the principals office
It’s the goalie. Only Campbell we trust.
Nylander is playing so much better then the rest
