@KS-xk2so yeah but when that comes out and the old dog goes on a fucking streak after losing like 10 pounds. We can't not start wondering if the amulet is legit haha
I can't imagine the thought of actually driving to a Leafs game... I haven't been to many, but all the games I've been to we park as far away as possible and take the subway, then walk the rest of the way. Toronto simply wasn't designed for the amount of traffic it gets these days, much like a lot of Canadian cities.
you can't design a city for more traffic. that'll just encourage more people to drive and make the problem worse. that's exactly the problem most US and Canadian cities have made for themselves since the 60s when they committed to a model with an urban core where people work surrounded by endless suburbs where they live. traffic in and around these places isn't just at rush hour anymore, it's almost all the time. the only effective way of reducing traffic is providing solid alternatives to cars (especially trains/metros) and making well-designed neighbourhoods that are actually nice to walk in and between.
I live an hour out of the city, and let’s just say I’ve been to the first Niagara centre in Buffalo more than Scotia bank arena. Not only is the drive bad, but it feels so crammed and nobody looks like they’re enjoying themselves.
@@hiphopaDIZZL It wouldn't be the first time for a similar setup, where the transit agency could arrange a special metro for the Utah team. That way, they get there in style and with no delays.
@@alexj7440 lol toronto has reduced most of its streets to single lanes for bikers. Real smart to have a crazy amount of bike lanes in a city that snows for half the year
@@cianhudder7499 Not what he was inferring, but bicycle lanes in a city where winter is a thing is pretty dumb. I used to cycle in Toronto year 'round, and I never needed a special bicycle lane. Was it dangerous? Sure, but you ride as if you're surrounded by assassins and figure it out.
The Leafs are always good in November but this year feels different... Just like it does every year. As much as I'm loving their play, it's hard to not be cynical.
I'm still waiting for the defense and goaltending to collapse but they keep me waiting. Have the Leafs possibly learned to play a tight, heavy checking game which limits high powered offense but enables low-danger defensive plays? And will that style of play flow over to the playoffs? I guess time will tell...
It was exceptionally bad traffic because the Santa Claus parade just ended... and apparently no one in the entire Utah organization bothered to verify they'd be leaving on time considering the conditions. Fuck Toronto, but this one is 100% on Utah.
@@Hydrog666 Why? Literally why? The vast majority of people who live downtown don't drive (there's almost no where to park), and those who drive can plan a bit better when there are these occasional special events.
They got stuck behind the Santa Claus Parade! A PARADE!!! You can blame the bus driver for not checking what streets would be blocked for this once-a-year event, not “traffic” in general. Also, for all the drivers who are frustrated with the traffic (myself included). Tell your representatives that you want them to support the creation of more alternative transport option! It’s the only way traffic will EVER improve. More bike infrastructure, more subways, more protected rail. We can’t add more lanes (and we know that doesn’t work anyway - as much as Doug wants to ignore that universal fact).
I don't understand this, sports teams, celebrities, everyone is complaining about Toronto's traffic, but instead of doing the responsible thing and encouraging and bolstering alternatives to driving, the Premier of Ontario is spending millions ripping up bike lanes and spending billions on building more freeways which will only encourage more and more car use. He is funding more transit, which is good, but he's destroying what makes a complete city. This is why Willy Styles takes the Subway, he knows it's better than driving in a dense city where driving should be restricted
Don't forget them doubling down by making it illegal to sue the province if you get hurt on any of the ex-bike lane streets. Nice that Douggie has set his priorities straight.🤦♂
@@VGNtheunwise I heard that too, that hast to be against some law, it's literally destroying all accountability. I really want Doug Ford to ride a bike some day, especially on the roads he wants to rip the bike lanes out of, because I've used the lanes on University and Bloor before and they're AMAZING AND AWESOME TO USE!!! The second he ever touches the Martin Goodman Trail, I am pulling a January 6th
Different circumstances but I was at a Leafs game last year where I arrived at the rink before the opposing Detroit Red Wings did. There was a snowstorm so they didn’t get to the rink until 90 minutes before game time. Naturally they beat the Leafs that’s night because that’s the Leaf thing to happen.
I got to watch this leafs game in person, and as a longtime Marner fan who sat quietly in his jersey while all my buddies trashed him last year, I LOVE to see him come back with this chip on his shoulder and perform. I think his performance is going to stick all the way to the playoffs.
As someone who lives just outside of toronto yes the traffic is utterly horrendous and so shit to be in. But that’s on Utah, there was a parade and Torontos already known for having bad traffic. They 100% should’ve known better and left way before their intended time.
The leafs seem to have fixed a lot of their problems, way better defense, incredible goal tending, like it's too early to tell but they are a very strong team this year
@@milanek1527 Once again that’s nice and all but we can already see we’re stronger. Our goaltending is something I’ve never seen before and our defence is great too. I’m not saying we’re gonna win the cup or anything but I think we have a MUCH better shot than last year. (Also it helps Florida is kinda ass recently😂. Less demons to kill😂)
tavares has been a player ive always loved on the leafs but obv his age sometimes shows, but this season hes been insane. hes constantly part of every play on the ice making an impact and even just putting it in the back of the net. goated player
@whoshotashleybabbitt4924 He'll likely end up around 1300-1400 points and his chances of winning a cup in Toronto are decent. I'd say based on projections, he's a candidate
Two anecdotes about driving in Toronto: 1. I missed my exit for the zoo one afternoon. It took me _an hour and a half_ to turn around at the next overpass and drive back to the one I was supposed to take. 2. I dropped some friends off at a hotel in downtown Toronto, just a few blocks off the Gardiner Expressway. There was barely room for a few vehicles to get through each intersection before the lights would change. After sitting in gridlock for an hour, I gave up and went for pizza until traffic subsided.
Just maybe. The program for playing the Leafs is hard coverage on Matthews, they know to double team as required and expect the puck to be passed to him straight all the time. When plucked out the book on the rest of them gets scattered like the assignment to cover them when they are at basis their most creative. What think?
That's because Toronto is so terminally car dependent and our leaders think that removing alternatives to cars, like Bike lanes, will fix it. I never drive when I go Downtown, not because I can't do it, but because I don't want to add to the traffic and our alternatives are pretty good. God I hate Doug Ford...
its coined the "GTA" (greater toronto area) because so many people live upwards of 2 1/2 hrs away from toronto, yet still work in toronto and commute that ONE WAY each day literally its so so sooo much cheaper (or at least was) to buy houses hrs outside of TO than to be anywhere near TO
Live downtown currently... Ive learned that traffic around the highway entrances and exits are the worst and there are ways to sneak around the majority of it. But being in a bus good luck.
this reminds me of some college football team like 100 years ago put oil on their train tracks and the other teams train couldnt stop until like 2 miles past the station.
This was actually my first NHL game I've been to! All 5 of the goals scored were on the right side of the ice, and that's where I was sitting! Also the NFL clip in the outro, that was the first ever sports game I've been to. Pain.
Santa Claus parade was on that day, but traffic seems to be bad all the time. We just take the GO train in to Union, then the arena is right there. Easier anyways and that way I can enjoy a stupid expensive beer and not worry about driving.
2:20 Speaking of Amulet power, is Willie wearing one on a chain? Perhaps John gave everyone on the team their own little amulet for extra power? Hey, if it works for you, have at it.
Wonder if Eck ever gets tired of covering the Leafs and Rangers ad nauseam all season only for them to inevitably lose in round 1 or 2 of the playoffs to one of the teams he ignored all year.
Matthews goal celebrations are devoid of joy. He seems like the kind of locker room presence that makes it not cool to have fun or try too hard. Maybe more interested in defending his position as the alpha than winning the cup as one part of a team. So much talent on that roster but always something missing.
Going back to the playoffs last year check out the success they’ve had without Mathews. Toronto doesn’t need him, at least not on the top line. This is a very good looking team
Think outside the box, go against the traditional line up construction. When Austin comes back put him on the 3rd or 4th line. Can you imagine how dangerous a team would be with a 50 goal scorer on the 4th line. Trade Mathews for a couple very solid players to make the 3rd and 4th lines better. Ryan Reaves is useless and has to go anyway.
The thing I don’t like about people saying the leafs do well in the regular season but not in the playoffs is they’ve always been good in the regular season, but not great. They’re a lock for 3rd every year and lose in the first round to teams placed higher than them in the standings. What’s so shocking about that? But now that they are in first, assuming they maintain this, what’s stopping them from translating this style of Berube hockey to the playoffs? My point, to put it simply is, the leafs performances in the regular season have correlated to their playoff success, despite popular opinion. They finish a little above middle of the pack and make it to the first or second round (THIS IS WHAT SHOULD BE EXPECTED OF A TEAM THIRD IN A DIVISION). I finish this argument by saying, this is the year, making me yet another experienced yet naive leafs fan. Go leafs.
0:07 - (pause and look at the news ribbon at the bottom) interesting video, but now I wanna know about the horse’s head and pregnant cow that the mafia used to make a statement. 🤔
So we beat utah, big freaking deal. The real season starts in the playoffs and we need our top players to play like our top players. It's been far too long not winning it all.
John Tavares slowed down because of Keefes bad coaching and making the guy play out of his element imo. But with Berube, johnny seems to have found the spark and is playing great. Faceoffs and producing goals and great passes. Hes always been a 30 to 40 ish goal scorer but a point a game player. Hes currently on pace for a 72 to 76 points which is good! Toronto has to overpay players thanks to Ontarios tax system which is the 5 or 6th worst in the League with Montreal being the worst and California teams the in betweens! Love the way teams doing a little fandangle here and there with the way their signing people to get around the cap, like the way they signed McCabe so this could be the answer for these teams to catch up to the No Tax States in the U.S
Just happy none of the players needed emergency care at one of the hospitals. Want to talk about wait times.. If it happened, Doug Ford. would be in the news clearing out the patients in hospital hallways to make room for NHL players.
lets not talk about will tavares show up in the playoffs, atleast he scored the biggest goal for the leafs in 20 years, sure he could do more but considering what he brings outside of points more is expected from marner and matthews instead
Matthews being out is one thing, but this team is ABSURDLY short right now. Matthews, Domi, Jarnkrok, Knies, Pacioretty, Kampf, Reaves, OEL are all either injured or suspended lol their bottom 6 is just literally the top 2 lines of the Marlies essentially.... and they are still pulling in W's somehow. Mitch, JT, and the 2 Big Fellas in net are just fucking hummin' out there.
@@CC-of5xl My comment had basically nothing to do with Matthews. Your comment is just stupid. Go spread it elsewhere, I don't want to catch moron from you.
@@KS-xk2so You're not wrong. I live in Toronto and if I'm going right downtown, I'm taking the subway. IMHO, you have to be a sadist to drive down there. That said, Santa Clause parade day is legitimately one of the worst days of the year to drive downtown.
There was the sonata clause parade with 3/4 million people. Sorry world class athletes had to walk. Maybe your ops team should plan ahead an book the royal York next time
Simple. Leafs Nation is hockey and hockey is Leafs Nation. Every media that covers hockey knows this so they make every third or fourth piece about the Leafs and you get their vast number of fans and just as many haters flocking to the piece and you get instant engagement. Good for traffic and all the goodies that come with it.
Leafs are clearly better without Mathews. He's obviously a selfish player, locker room cancer, needs to be traded immediately for whatever some sucker will give up for him. Maybe a 6 and a 7.
I love how so many people that don’t even live near Toronto, have something to say about the traffic. My wife takes the QEW/Gardiner to work on University from the 427 and Burnhamthorpe. It takes her, roughly 30-40 minutes there and 25-30 minutes back. Before the construction on the Gardiner started, it was ten minutes less there and 5-10 minutes less back. Obviously, there are exceptions like the Taylor Swift concerts or things like a Jays, Leafs or Raptors game but, on average it’s not horrible. Another reason traffic has increased are lane reductions from the boat load of new buildings being constructed, new bike lanes on major streets, massive projects like the new Ontario line, etc. Also, over the past 25-30 years, residential buildings in Toronto have increased 100 fold. In the ‘80s, barely anyone lived downtown and there used to be a mass influx in the morning and mass exodus in the evening. Now, you have mass commuting in and out of the city at both ends of the day. My wife spends a maximum of an hour and ten minutes commuting per day but, because she spends alot of that time in traffic, it’s baaad. I used to live and work in Gueplh and a few of my coworkers had to drive around an hour each way however, they never complained because it didn’t involve any traffic. It’s all relative. Honestly, Utah’s team management are the ones who should be embarrassed. The traffic in Toronto is no secret. Hasn’t been for years but, the fact that they left so close to game time is on them.
Why doesn't she take transit? Also the Bike lanes and transit are the solution to traffic, bro. Alternatives to driving is the best way to actually fix traffic problems
@ Because she has a physical disability that requires her to use a wheelchair. Buses aren’t well enough equipped to accommodate her so, driving is a much better option. Bike lanes are fine but, they’re not for everyone including those in my wife’s position. Plus, there are hundreds of thousands of parents that need to drive their kids to and from school so, they drive to work instead of going back home to drop their car off and take transit. There are also thousands of elderly or disabled that either work, have appointments, live downtown etc. that won’t be using those bike lanes. The climate in this city is not conducive to year round cycling. Transit in the city, although vast, still isn’t great and much of the traffic comes from neighouring cities like Mississauga, Oakville, Vaughan, Scarborough, Whitby, Ajax, Oshawa, etc. To take transit from these cities takes hours and noone wants to spend 3-4 hours commuting each day. To say that transit and bike lanes are the solution is naive. We’ve had both for decades and traffic hasn’t improved one bit. Reducing car volume by way of alternative commuting options would obviously fix traffic. Kind of obvious but, prioritizing bike lanes over transit is not the right way to fix traffic. And, who are we really fixing the traffic for? Yeah, everyone is saying how they can’t wait until this city improves traffic but, do you really think they’re going to be the ones to stop driving. No. Sure, some may be motivated by the snarled traffic to cycle or take transit but, as soon as traffic improves, they’ll just start driving again.

Bro I’ve been waiting for a canes video, I’m right there with you bud 😭
Wait theres no tunnel underneath Toronto were celebrities and player drive ? LOL
"amulet power pass" a.p.p go hard
So we beat utah, big freaking deal. The real season starts in the playoffs and we need our top players to play like our top players. It's been far too long not winning it all.
Save your hate for your pitiful personal life
Lets wait until the playoffs
John Tavares slowed down because of Keefes bad coaching and making the guy play out of his element imo. But with Berube, johnny seems to have found the spark and is playing great. Faceoffs and producing goals and great passes. Hes always been a 30 to 40 ish goal scorer but a point a game player.
Hes currently on pace for a 72 to 76 points which is good!
Toronto has to overpay players thanks to Ontarios tax system which is the 5 or 6th worst in the League with Montreal being the worst and California teams the in betweens!
Love the way teams doing a little fandangle here and there with the way their signing people to get around the cap, like the way they signed McCabe so this could be the answer for these teams to catch up to the No Tax States in the U.S
losing matthews sucked but lost in all of that is we are down 7 nhl forwards, half our line up for this stretch has been ahlers
Hence why Willy takes the subway lol
Just happy none of the players needed emergency care at one of the hospitals.
Want to talk about wait times.. If it happened, Doug Ford. would be in the news
clearing out the patients in hospital hallways to make room for NHL players.
What we NEED to talk about is Marty Necas.
I hope I never hear the term “Marndoggie” again 😭
lets not talk about will tavares show up in the playoffs, atleast he scored the biggest goal for the leafs in 20 years, sure he could do more but considering what he brings outside of points more is expected from marner and matthews instead
I don’t get all the amulet talk, every radio host also brings it up when talking about JT. Can anyone explain?
Steaming hot lava take. The team plays better without Matthews and Domi in the lineup.
Traffic was bad due to the Santa Claus parade. Also, take the train into the city suburbanites. You are the traffic.
This has slowly became a Leafs/Rangers channel only.
"OMeRgGERRDH! Fit 18-35 men had to WALK a few blocks to the arena? The TRAVESTY!" LOL. Why shouldnt they?
If you think this is bad you haven’t even set foot into Ottawa it’s gonna be a nightmare next year when the Sens move into the downtown area
The more Amulet talk the better.
I've been saying JT playing good without the stress of the C weighing him down.
He's still the leader. But c should be on Marner if not him
No, no we do not
Ik im late saying this but welcome to Toronto UATH hopefully walk was not to long
Yes, get that leafs nation all hyped up thinking this is their year again. It makes their tears after another 1st round exit so much better.
Just go hate somewhere else like the child you are
Stuck in traffic on a SUNDAY!
Matthews being out is one thing, but this team is ABSURDLY short right now. Matthews, Domi, Jarnkrok, Knies, Pacioretty, Kampf, Reaves, OEL are all either injured or suspended lol their bottom 6 is just literally the top 2 lines of the Marlies essentially.... and they are still pulling in W's somehow. Mitch, JT, and the 2 Big Fellas in net are just fucking hummin' out there.
Because they can actually play like a team instead of a "try to pad Matthews goals club"
@@CC-of5xl My comment had basically nothing to do with Matthews. Your comment is just stupid. Go spread it elsewhere, I don't want to catch moron from you.
Traffic is bad then you have Talyor Swift shutdown roads
Taylor was already gone. It was Santa's turn to shut down the roads.
Traffic sucks always guys. Its even worst for events like that sure, but it's brutal all year round.
@@KS-xk2so You're not wrong. I live in Toronto and if I'm going right downtown, I'm taking the subway. IMHO, you have to be a sadist to drive down there.
That said, Santa Clause parade day is legitimately one of the worst days of the year to drive downtown.
and may the Rags continue to fall apart
we NEED to talk about how to title videos differently
it was the santa parade not traffic
So many leafs videos gah
Toronto traffic sucks.
Maybe Mormons don’t understand but there was a Santa Claus Parade that day too. Traffic in Toronto sucks but let’s not make fake stories here
santa claus parade, get your news right
When will we realize that the leafs should get rid of matthews!!! They are always better without him.
There was the sonata clause parade with 3/4 million people. Sorry world class athletes had to walk. Maybe your ops team should plan ahead an book the royal York next time
Can we talk about the Sharks tho? Celebrini?
Why
@ because they’re cooking
always talking abt the leafs. not complaining, just wondering why
Simple. Leafs Nation is hockey and hockey is Leafs Nation. Every media that covers hockey knows this so they make every third or fourth piece about the Leafs and you get their vast number of fans and just as many haters flocking to the piece and you get instant engagement. Good for traffic and all the goodies that come with it.
Leafs are clearly better without Mathews. He's obviously a selfish player, locker room cancer, needs to be traded immediately for whatever some sucker will give up for him. Maybe a 6 and a 7.
Resurrect Maple Leaf Gardens FFS.
Marndoggy op
All kinds of back-handed compliments but sure 2nd favorite team. But this comment gets automatically black-holed anyway
They'll be out in the 1st round like always
Toronto is useless in the playoffs. The end. They could set records regular season and they are still not a consideration.
better hope they don't see Boston at all in the playoffs
Is Boston even going to make it?
The videos ale just about leafs or oilers… there are so many more interesting things like Marty necas is 1st in points
It was nice
OMG….it was one bleeping game people. It doesn’t happen for every game. It was the same day as the Santa Claus parade. What did you expect? SMH…
I love how so many people that don’t even live near Toronto, have something to say about the traffic. My wife takes the QEW/Gardiner to work on University from the 427 and Burnhamthorpe. It takes her, roughly 30-40 minutes there and 25-30 minutes back. Before the construction on the Gardiner started, it was ten minutes less there and 5-10 minutes less back. Obviously, there are exceptions like the Taylor Swift concerts or things like a Jays, Leafs or Raptors game but, on average it’s not horrible. Another reason traffic has increased are lane reductions from the boat load of new buildings being constructed, new bike lanes on major streets, massive projects like the new Ontario line, etc. Also, over the past 25-30 years, residential buildings in Toronto have increased 100 fold. In the ‘80s, barely anyone lived downtown and there used to be a mass influx in the morning and mass exodus in the evening. Now, you have mass commuting in and out of the city at both ends of the day. My wife spends a maximum of an hour and ten minutes commuting per day but, because she spends alot of that time in traffic, it’s baaad. I used to live and work in Gueplh and a few of my coworkers had to drive around an hour each way however, they never complained because it didn’t involve any traffic. It’s all relative. Honestly, Utah’s team management are the ones who should be embarrassed. The traffic in Toronto is no secret. Hasn’t been for years but, the fact that they left so close to game time is on them.
Why doesn't she take transit? Also the Bike lanes and transit are the solution to traffic, bro. Alternatives to driving is the best way to actually fix traffic problems
@ Because she has a physical disability that requires her to use a wheelchair. Buses aren’t well enough equipped to accommodate her so, driving is a much better option. Bike lanes are fine but, they’re not for everyone including those in my wife’s position. Plus, there are hundreds of thousands of parents that need to drive their kids to and from school so, they drive to work instead of going back home to drop their car off and take transit. There are also thousands of elderly or disabled that either work, have appointments, live downtown etc. that won’t be using those bike lanes. The climate in this city is not conducive to year round cycling. Transit in the city, although vast, still isn’t great and much of the traffic comes from neighouring cities like Mississauga, Oakville, Vaughan, Scarborough, Whitby, Ajax, Oshawa, etc. To take transit from these cities takes hours and noone wants to spend 3-4 hours commuting each day. To say that transit and bike lanes are the solution is naive. We’ve had both for decades and traffic hasn’t improved one bit. Reducing car volume by way of alternative commuting options would obviously fix traffic. Kind of obvious but, prioritizing bike lanes over transit is not the right way to fix traffic. And, who are we really fixing the traffic for? Yeah, everyone is saying how they can’t wait until this city improves traffic but, do you really think they’re going to be the ones to stop driving. No. Sure, some may be motivated by the snarled traffic to cycle or take transit but, as soon as traffic improves, they’ll just start driving again.
The leafs have no heart, out the first round of the playoffs again. Time to rebuild and get hockey players instead of fluff.
Grow up
@@robertfry8025 My opinion and evidence on past performance, nothing changed.
Grow up no effort comment just like the leafs
