Yeah...those heady days of 2016-17 when everything seemed possible. Young, fast, talented team. Hard to believe here we are 8 years later with only 1 playoff round won.
How can anyone say that low-tax states have no advantage when some of the discrepencies result in a 10-15% difference? That amounts to about a 7-10 million dollar difference. Thats huge.
Ray Bourque was delt to the Avs at the deadline... Ron Franci was delt to Pitsburg at the deadline... there's alot of good trades that have happened throughout the history of the NHL. The most recent decade(s) are a bit sparse, but there are still a few here and there. Jeff Carter went to LA at the trade deadline in 2012...
you guys flirted around the cap discussion but really didn't dig hard enough. Follow-up questions could have included: If salary cap isn't as much of an issue as you think Gary, Why do you a think a Canadian team has not won the Stanley Cup in over 30 years? On the otherhand, why has there been such incredible success for teams in low income tax states in recent years ie Florida/vegas/Dallas etc? Are low income tax states teams just amazingly managed teams or are there significant advantages to being able to sign players at a dramatic market discount ie Point, Kucherov, Reinhart etc etc etc. Another question for Gary, why can't we buy a single streaming package to watch all Leafs games (and all hockey games for that matter) regardless of location, instead of having to buy multiple subscriptions
11:53 Sammy bro, 57 years is a life time. As a fan, you got to have hope. Every year, hang on to it. Otherwise, it'll negatively affect your health and life. The only thing we can do is be the best fans we can be. Nothing more frustrating as a fan, but you got to back up the buds and never let down. GO LEAFS GO BABY.
As Archie Bunker said to Meathead: `STIFLE, Sammy!` Why didn`t you have Bettman on at 4 and make him talk LEAFS for a solid hour? Watch his head e x p l o d e
Time to retire, Gary. The league needs a fresh set of eyes. And I'm not talking about Billy Daly. And the complete eradication for a decade of best on best international hockey on his watch is a stain that will last forever.
THE BUDS ARE BACK BABY!!! Alright, gonna reel it back. They played great vs NJD, great come back win in OT. Real test comes tomorrow night HNiC vs the hot rival Habitants.
Everyone knew before Dubas took the job in Pittsburgh that the Core & Ownership wanted to keep trying to contend for a Cup and had no interest in rebuilding, everyone also knew that was a terrible idea and the contention window had closed with that core. Previous management extended the core before he even got there, that decision and how he was going to treat the first 2 or 3 seasons was predetermined by ownership and the Core before he even got there. "Dubas will be remembered as the guy who ruined the end of Crosby's career" Ya by ignorant people maybe. Crosby has played a significant role in the direction of the team, and shares equal blame with how sad the end of his career is going to be, and anyone who follows the league may be afraid to place any blame at their Golden Child's feet, but they know its true.
Expectations vs. Reality . Reality bites often. Leafs is a good team, but....is this team a true SC contender this year ? No one knows, not even the coach.
Not looking to offend Golden Knights fans, but can we all agree that Fleury should have been a career-long Penguin? I know he did have a few struggling years, but still..
Berube has giving them slack because the team still building up their cardio. The new system is more physically taxing. The Panthers went through the same transition.
Loved the show, however the longer the episode goes on... those 3 grey hoodies become super apparent, you guys look like you're about to put on spacesuits 🤣
Gary Bettman! Nice catch. I’m watching to see if you guys ask him directly about the NHL scraping money back from RUclips content creators…
I'm not afraid to say it. I enjoyed the Bettman interview. Well done Kyper and Bourne.
Lol so edgy.
Best one yet boys! Laughs, drama, the commish!

Root for Victory Green!
Bettman is well spoken

Can’t wait till the day betman is gone
OMG, I feel like I'm looking at the Blue Man Group or something with those matching outfits. My eyes are getting confused. Nice work Boys.
Good show everyone.. Not a fan of Gary but good to hear what he said with the cba

Betting is well spoken
Where's my Real Kyper and Bourne hoodie boys? Lol
Honestly I was just thinking I’d buy one of these for sure! Sportsnet, please sell these 😁
Guests audio is way too quiet
THE BUDS ARE BACK BABY!!! Alright, gonna reel it back. They played great vs NJD, great come back win in OT. Real test comes tomorrow night HNiC vs the hot rival Habitants.

You're losing me as soon as Betman appears on screen
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Cope.

Can we agree that with the branded hoodies, they look like they're starting a Kipper and Bourne cult? 😜😜
What do you boys think of this- De’Angelo to the leafs, go with 7 D, use d’Angelo as winger and quarter back the PP?
They should sent Tavares to the mine to dig up some more amulets
Booooooooo Gary Bettman Boooooooooooo 👎👎
GLG
Does Gary have a neurological disorder? He's always shaking when he's on camera.
...and a slump they ended!
Sam reminds one of Tommy Lee 🥁 🏒
Dubas always spending the house money, but actually the owners are businessmen, they like improvement.
Kyper you canot try and talk to bettman like he is one of the boys. He isnt and will always sell you out even if you're only joking.
I could do without the 'drops'. Sammy's getting cranky about it too.
Hahaha this Bettman is so full of **** 😂
I dream of an NHL without him 🙏

Boy that Sammy talks way too much. Why is the beer leaguer here. Nonsense from Sammy. No one else goes through down periods.
