As a Canucks fan, watching this video felt better than any drug on the planet.
And it's so nice that TO forces the nucks to play early so their home fans can watch them get schooled every year.
Lol, "Demko should have the first one, it was easy". No, Myers was screening him.
For some reason, Vancouver beating Toronto is just the most transcendent feeling. It's like a birthday cake and sex and christmas morning all at the same time. Watching the game, a little bit less so (ow, my developing ulcers) but I wish every single win of the season felt this good.
the only thing Canucks fans love more than beating Toronto in the regular season is destroying their own city in a fit of rage. season series 1-1 btw. gg@@strangemobius
Oilers fan here, please notice the refs tried to give the laffs a win in the last few minutes!
Should mention that this is basically every single Canucks game, where they get out shot but win anyway. Tocchet preaches no unnecessary shots.
I read some one in comments said rope a dope , that explains it . The canucks have always played that way. Wait wait wait and then boom .
this year (for the most part), they're actually good at holding onto leads..and i can say that confidently, considering the Canucks are now 28-0-1 when *leading* after 2 periods. our defensive game has definitely tightened up a lot better in comparison to last year's shit show lmao
Pretty much. It's why our PDO is so high.
Maybe, but Canucks' shots get blocked a lot too, and the other attempts miss the net
@@Lawrence-re6riProbably not a good strategy moving into playoffs be we shall see
Ok how good is Steve’s soundproofing in the blue room? There is no way anyone slept through BRAAAADDD 😂😂😂
I think Steve’s neighbors were awake a looooonnnnggg time ago 😂😂😂😂
One of the first vids he made in the new place he said that it wasn't enough. I can only imagine his other half putting ear plugs in as soon as she sees the Leafs lost.
On the bright side, the Leafs didn't blow a lead tonight. Baby steps.
Can’t blow a lead if you didn’t get one - *points to temple* 😂
Good one, thank you 😂
🤣
Lol yup ...baby steps right out of the playoffs hahahaha
12:00 ... The Pettersson PP goal was worse, because the Leafs let him skate behind the net and then they just sort of forgot he was there.
Petey might not have an easier goal this season.
"must have been the wind".
Ya the new kids haven't got a clue how to play hockey.
Get rid of them all along with Treveling and Shanahan.
Useless as
t I t s on a boar.
They are destroying the Leafs team.
The problem with the Leafs' roster is the salary cap is 87.7 mil and 4 players of their 26 man roster take 53 percent of that. How do you build a cup contending team when over half your cap goes to 20% of the people who dress for a game
Yep. Leafs are starting to look like the Lightening. Having to sacrifice depth pieces to pay players who have performed year after year, problem is this is supposed to happen after a cup.
If it's any consolation, the Canucks are likely gonna have the same issue next year with the season they are having, a whole bunch of guys are gonna want raises with their career years.. there's something off with the system if you actively WANT your stars to perform LESS during the regular season just so you can afford to keep them yours...
@@aaronykam kind of my point, Normally you cant keep everyone. If you don't win you keep 1 or 2 of the essential guys, you trade some for futures, and you replace the guys you can replace for the same or less money. Just as an outside observer it seems like the Leafs are trying to hold onto everyone at the cost of the roster. Look at the canucks. Traded their captain during a career year for younger players and futures, and a year later are better because of it.
@@Infinity238 Exactly everybody loved BO and we traded him away mid season that shocked everybody...well BO ended up turning into Filip Hronek and Zadorov and Raty who's having a good year in Abby at the end of the trade tree with the picks and prospects we got
It’s been that for years now that’s not gonna work on any team who what’s to win the Cup!? Is it Treliving? Let’s face it Leaf fans, Shanahan controls his GM’s. They don’t have any control. Shanahan will go down with the ship on his vision. The guy who won 3 Cups with the Red Wings that had depth.
Quinn Hughes was IRATE after blowing the lead as his team sits 1st in the NHL. Meanwhile your lucky to see a Leaf roll there eyes in frustration. Speaks volumes.
Seems like both are two sides of the same coin.
Well I guess if the camera was on one of the Leaf fans.. You may have seen an eye roll...🙄.
What a dumb comment.
No, it's just that the canucks have standards and we get pissed when we don't live up to them. We are a first place team and when we lose, it's on the players and they know that. Maturity is what we have, Leafs don't.
Was Hughes not on Vancouver last year? Don't act like the COACH isn't the reason the Canucks are winning now, just like Keefe's system is what's costing the Leafs games. That powerplay entry sucks ass yet the Coaching is doing nothing about it. I remember Schenn RIPPING Miller, last year in Vancouver, for his crying out loud sulky BS, isn't he still on Vancouver?
@@killachinchilla9445Schenn who? Quit being a pathetic loser. Everyone loves Miller and his top 10 scoring from all players in last several years combined.
Thanks for giving Vancouver Lafferty guys, he's a goddamn gem over here
Mikayev ain't bad either, no?
god i hate being a leaf fan
He was good in Chicago, too. But well we sucked last year and well we suck this year, too😔
@@kingaye372 our management and coaching staff just don't know what to do with players
@@kingaye372Chicago has a decent starter pack for the future, just needs some time. We'll reignite the old rivalry when Bedard get's a year or two under him. The irony is not lost on me that he's from Vancouver. The crappy part is the waiting
Canucks third line doesn't get enough credit this year. Absolute beauties.
Canucks had to trade fan favorite and 30 goal scorer at the time Bo Horvat and buy out OEL to make changes. You prob have to do something similar in leaf land if you want dmen and depth.
please tell me that room of yours has some sort of soundproofing
From what I remember... no
Pretty sure the new one does. The OG blue rooms however😂😂😂
He was actually talking about that on the live show tonight. Basically said he told his neighbours to expect screaming occasionally because of his job lmao.
@@lindenwong5393He said it did though, didn't he?
Why don't his neighbour's deserve a laugh when the leaf's disappoint again?
Leafs Low, Medium, and High shot attempts
47, 5, 6
Canucks Low, Medium, and High shot attempts
29, 4, 3,
Leafs goals by type
2,1,1
Canucks goals by type
2,1,3
... The Canucks got three high-danger shots attempts and scored all three times.
Leafs went 0/4 on the PP (one of which was essentially a 2 man advantage with the goalie pulled).
Canucks went 2/3.
For all the Leafs' super talented stars, they've somehow regressed in their power play, even basic zone entries are difficult now.
Yup, the stats don’t even come close to showing the true breakdown. Thanks for this
I wish I could see stats like this for every game. Appreciate you commenting this
I never thought “piss missile” was in Steve’s vocabulary, interesting..
He must be praying for Brad to trade for LaClapBomb BarDownski VI, right?
U new ?
He makes a fair bit of pokemon references.
@@jean-sebastienprimeau7454LaClapBomb BarDownski VI ain't got nothing on LaPinSeeker WormBurner XVIII, for one that dude is 65 years old and is not only working a 9-5 job but is also retired, for two he accomplishes what every person dreams of but few accomplish and not only once, he does it 18 times every time he golfs, for three he's the 18th generation not just the 4th, and for four he is divorced like every other guy in America #relatable
Manifesting Steve using the term “Bargentina” in a video this szn
Everyone take a look at the Vancouver Canucks coaching staff. I mean, REALLY, that's where I want to see a massive change for Toronto. Not the team itself, but the coaching. Of course, there's Tocchet as head coach, BUT ALSO:
- BOTH Sedin twins
- Adam Foote
- Sergei Gonchar
- Mike Yeo
All of these guys, including Tocchet, have either won a Stanley Cup or are Hall of Fame players. You better believe they're in it to win it...but they also know the game isn't a skills competition; it's a hard-nosed gritty game that goes to the team that wants the win the most. And that's what they instill in their players.
Canucks fan here. Love watching Steve melt down. Respect the hell out of him for being able to rationalize this game through the emotions he felt. I couldn’t do that and I’m a fan of the team that won.
Well done Steve, I tip my hat to you sir 🫡
Nice to have the refs in your pocket just like the Oilers eh,not much to brag about when you have to cheat to win
@@mikemcgee3636 Lol you must lose sleep at night over how much the oilers are cheating. L Take
@@mikemcgee3636 the refs are most definitely never in our pocket. i wish though. the amount of missed calls against us, especially at home is honestly absurd. refs are almost always shit with not calling _all_ the obvious penalties in its entirety lmao
@@mikemcgee3636 Go join the Bruins whining in the back, oh my god. If you are a Flames fan, you aren't a true one. WE KNOW WE ARE MID! We don't blame the refs, we blame the players and staff.
@@mikemcgee3636 Yeah we totally paid the refs to put us down 6 on 3 in the final 2 minutes of the third period and totally paid them to let the Leafs have a golden chance to tie it up.
RIGHTTTTTT TOTALLY we had them in our pockets. TOTALLY
46 shots doesn't matter if there's not a lot of high danger chances.
Unless the goalie is incompetent that is
Demko may not have been fantastic tonight but he is not incompetent
@@weepingdalek2568I would say you’re right, Demko probably should’ve stopped 2 of those 4, but at the end of the day he won the game with 40+ saves.
@@emperoralvis6559 It's a great mark of the improvement the Canucks have had this year
Last year they needed Demko to stand on his head to win games, this year no they don't
It always helps when Demko decides he's gonna stand on his head but they can win without that
Right, Leafs tried to make holes in the pads
@@weepingdalek2568 DeSmith is great too. He’s the perfect backup to have when Demko needs a rest. Even when the team in front of him is gassed, you can rely on DeSmith to get us a point out it.
When you harp on the shot total at the end it tells me you haven’t watched a lot of canucks this season. 3-4 goals in the first 15-20 shots is basically their jam. Then they switch to bend don’t break defense mode for the rest of the game pretty much
yeah what are they now like 30-0-1 when leading after 2?
thanks for that info ~ i watch teams all over the league depending on whos playing both teamwise & playerwise ~ this was only my 2nd vancouver game & wanted to check them out as well as leafs downhill ~ the 2 teams seem to be doin a seesaw this season ~
Canucks PP has been struggling lately but OF COURSE they decide to wake up vs Toronto 😂
That's because the leafs have Brodie and Gio on the first pairing, which is just foolishness. Brodie couldn't move a 90 year old from in front of the net, Gio is the 90 year old that was sat a couple of games ago but still somehow is on the top pairing PK.
Well also let’s not forget that now they’re back after a 7 game road trip, they have a chance to practice their power plays with the Sedin twins. And that Petterson goal on the PP was like a carbon copy of how the Sedins played in their prime.
@@late3619Sheldon Keefe and the blender, oh what a story that is. Scratch a guy, then he's on PK1.
Something, anything, blend things up, throw things against the wall and hope you create the Sistine Chapel. Surely that's gonna work.
The Leafs Penalty Kill is horrendous I don't think that's getting enough attention lol
We don't need the powerplay when we have the most goals 5 on 5 in the whole league.
Coming from a Canucks fan, the frustration of not finding someone to play with Matthews and Marner is as bad as it was for us to find someone to play with the Sedins.
Very true. But the Sedins were in a league of their own. I swear to god those 2 communicated telepathically.
Everyone they ever paired with the Sedins was there to take fights, and get out of the twin's way. Absolutely magical to watch them on the ice.
These new kids are incapable of professional NHL hockey.
The Core 4/5 can't rely on them for any single play.
Treveling made all bad moves. He needs to go.
Hyman and Bunting did a good job of playing with them. The primary job is puck retrieval and being in position to shovel in a rebound or keep your stick down heading to the net for Marner to find you. They basically need two hard working grinders to play with the top 2 lines, preferably with some soft hands.
Coming from a Canucks fan, difference is sedins took less to play together. By doing that, they were able to build a roster to surround the stars.
The problem I see with the leafs is that too much money is tied up with 4 players. How do you build a roster while paying that much money to 4 players?
I can already see the "BRAAAAD" in the next LFR season intro 😂
What I love about this season’s Canucks team is how despite being brought to the brink several times, they bring as much effort as they can, and it comes from the captain.
Once the score is tied in the second period, Quinn Hughes, the captain, got so angry that he destroyed his hockey stick, and after that, he and his team decided that if the Leafs were gonna hit them hard, they’re gonna hit back harder, and hit back harder they did.
Coach called timeout. After the timeout first thing that happened was the Miller hit on a leaf player. That was all she wrote after that hit
Yeah that was a very rare outburst from Hughes. Especially considering Tocchet has stressed body language and not showing frustration on the ice or the bench. But it seemed to work because the Canucks snapped out of it, and continued to press the gas until the game was over.
THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR FROM THE LEAFS SINCE 2018
You mean Dubas should have kept Freddy and JT doesn't make up for his loss?!?? WHO WUDDA THUNK IT??!?!?!?
@@jlaw888usually is
Another first period where they could have all just sat on the bench and watched the other team just shoot at the Leaf net.
would have probably came close to a 3-0 lead lol
Wins against teams in playoff position since Dec. 12:
Ducks- 3
Sharks- 1
Hawks -2
Leafs- 1
Ouch, thats a helluva desperate lst
who did the leafs even beat then
Rangers on Dec 12 and then Kings on Jan 2 good god
@@MrC37 yup. The kings also started their tunnel down the standings during that time.
It's not like the stats against non playoff teams are much better...
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the blender doing the exact opposite of what they want to be doing. The lines have been blended so much that nobody has chemistry anymore. Set the lines, and suffer through it. I suspect the result can’t be any worse than their situation right now.
If you need to blender every damn year, it's because you don't have enough good players to fill in the gaps. Simple as that, yet the Leafs management endlessly refuses to make the change that is so obvious to every fan of the other 31 teams in this league.
fire Keefe now!!!
@@robyschwendi2856 They're not going to in the middle of a road trip. If they do so, it'll be after it's done.
The problem is, we've put all our eggs in the core 4 basket. So if u don't scramble until u get something out of them, nobody's getting breakfast!
@@TheRiverweasel09 isn’t it great to watch from outside
Tavares is stuck on turtle speed.
The Canucks have proving since November really that quality scoring chances are superior to quantity of shots on goal. Pretty much every game they’ve played in the last month or more they’ve been outshot, and they still win.
Leafs shot quality is horrible most nights. All that talent and far too often their scoring chances don't really look all that dangerous. Especially guys like Morgan Rielly who everytime I see rushing down the wing with the puck that when he takes a shot he's going to put it directly into the goalie's chest.
Shots have NEVER been a good indicator of success. Stats dorks need something to latch onto though. Make themselves feel like they're in a club. It's more about social acceptance than actual metrics that are effective.
What you just described is also a goalie factor. The Canucks have one. The Leafs don’t.
It’s crazy to see the duality in the NHL because the flyers are the opposite they take about 40 shots on goal every night and are also up there in standings. It’s all about knowing your players.
@@bruce1495 That's right. There is no correlation between corsi and points in the standing. You can do the regression analysis yourself. Take any season and plot the x y. Now...stat boy critics will argue "but there are other factors in hockey" to which the response is YES! Exactly. So if this statistic provides no reasonable correlation to any of the things that really matter then it's NOT a good stat.
The trouble I have with blaming Jones is that he is currently on pace for his best NHL season in 6 years. He did not have a great game, but anyone who's paid attention to him the last decade would admit he's been better than expected. It seems a little disingenuous to me to blame losing on a guy who is performing above expectations, so maybe when you want to complain about the goaltending, blame the management who created a situation with a perennial 3rd stringer as your starter.
The boat is warming up for the next load of players for Robidas Island. I could see Taveras suddenly getting a "lower body injury" that puts him on LTIR to free up cap space for defense.
It looks like Tavares has lost a step the last 6 games...not great cause he was never fast to begin with.
Agreed. Hope he resigns in 2025 but I would offer him 5.0 million for 2 years and not a penny more and should he refuse that let him walk. He will be 34 by then, 36 after the 2 years is over. he is not the future.
In Tavares's defence... Look hard..
He cannot play hockey with these useless new kids Treveling brought in..
The Leafs are being destroyed from the inside.
Tavares has been shit for the last two years lol. HE IS USELESS AND MAKES WAY RO MUCH MONEY
They never needed John Tavares.
Tavares has been playing valiantly...but I would say that that concussion he got in the Montreal series in 2021 has basically killed the edge he used to have; he's no longer a Core 4 player. Yes, he's gotten some key goals, like the one vs. Tampa Bay in overtime in Game 6 to clinch the series...but he hasn't been the same since that hit.
I guarantee Demko didn't see that first Nylander goal.
Yeah me too. I think Tyler Myers inadvertently screened Demko there.
Or the second really, Soucy backed right into him and he never saw the pass. Soucy was responsible for the third goal too... he had an off game.
The Giraffe 100% was screening Demko, you can see him give Myers the "are you kidding me" look after it went in.
Quinn Hughes was losing his mind on the bench when Toronto tied it at 3, when was the last time you saw a Leaf player doing that.
As if we didn't already know, the entire organization should quickly realize that the game with the cap system is not designed to have such a concentration of salary in such few players of the team.
The Leafs are not an elite team, that's a piece or two away from being a cup contender. They're a mid-pack team that needs to shed a high paid piece of two, & then acquire several pieces to make the playoffs. Otherwise they will remain a developer of talent for other teams.
I'm sure if you were correct you'd be a GM by now!
@@jonathonmcrae5671 Yeah, because he said they were a developer of talent for other teams.
Even last season, with 111 points they were not getting by Tampa until Dubas went out and got Schenn, ROR, McCabe and Acciari. That's FOUR pieces.
This core 4 setup doesn't work. It never will.
@@jonathonmcrae5671hes right so thats why your comment is that much funnier
@@jonathonmcrae5671
I would hire him, lots of common sense in what he said.
one of my favourite lfr's this season by far, especially after tonight's win :D
"4 goals on 15 shots is unusable". Ask producer Drew about Georgiev.
You mean all star georgiev?
@@titanlobster980 that's the guy
Canucks make their shots count, that’s why they routinely get outshot but win.
"Make a save!!!" He did he had made 11 saves at that point and 15 saves in the game
Canucks score 4 on 15 almost e ery night.
Robertson is gonna end up on another team and end up a 30 goal guy I feel it
He's too small and he plays small. I would be surprised
He is too inconsistent.
He plays like a guy with a constant bullseye on his back from his coach, they should let him play with the notion that he has some sort of a job security.
Idk what you're watching, Robertson gets bullied off the puck constantly, can't drive play and is almost never in a good position to let his shot go.. which is his only upside. There's a reason why Keefe doesn't trust him.
I can see either Nic or Bertuzzi being traded by the deadline.
As a neutral observer, I'll bet Vancouver really enjoys having enough cap space to build a balanced team. Their Vezina caliber goalie gets protection by a Norris caliber defenseman. #corefour
Yea but they’ve had to tolerate being absolute shit the past few years. I’m happy for them that they have built an incredible team. After the leafs, I will be rooting for the canucks in the playoffs 😊
Shows you just how horrible Benning was. Jim Rutherford went scorched earth and they brought in professionals.
Treliving is Amateur Hour
Yea, I remember when we gave thatcher 5x5 and the league lost their minds saying we overpaid........And we got Hughes at 6.75 for four more years.....
@@ec7001 It's a good thing the Leafs won all those cups in those years.
Oh... wait.
I would be careful before you get too smug about the team the Canucks have built. They aren’t proving anything in terms of how to build a team, Vargas has been doing that for years. And the Nucks were fucking awful not that long ago.
The Red Wings and Justin Holl making the playoffs while the Leafs go golfing? That would be amazing.
I think it says something about the Laughs when their unsigned or traded players go on to have better careers elsewhere
@@gohabs8918well of course they don’t have to deal with this shit hole city and it’s shit hole fans that send death threat so them destroying their confidence. That’s why Vegas won last year, nobody gave a shit and it allowed them to play with full confidence.
It would be legendary for the meme economy.
Been waiting for this one
If the Leafs lose both games to the Jets Keefe is definitely history. In fact, he may be history if they lose Sunday.
Pretty sure he was history if they lost to Calgary, which they very nearly did. As it stands now, if he loses tomorrow night, they might just can him as soon as the road trip ends.
If it helps, as a Canucks fan, I'd really like the Leafs to beat them. Honestly it's the right type of match. I don't know what the Jets would do if a team scored a couple goals against them.
don’t worry, jets have been meh without scheifele, wouldn’t be surprised if leafs take one of both of those games
@@blakeburton11not a chance the Leafs beat the Jets, and interesting stat, I looked up. The Leafs in 15-16 season their tank season last place in entire NHL, their goals against average was 3.00 this season it is 3.34 ! Worse team D this year so far!!, than that tank season. No way they make the playoffs if this keeps up.
@@blakeburton11 have you not seen how they played WITHOUT KYLE CONNOR? They've been great! Keefe is gone after this road trip if HE'S lucky. They would have to CRUSH Seattle and make it close in Winterpeg to have a shot at keeping him. I hope Toronto hires Jay Woodcroft. Nothing but great from him in Edmonton, until the start of this season.
Everybody outshoots the Canucks if you look at any game
Leaf's don't look at any1 else who they are not playing at the time, Toronto is a hockey echo-chamber hence the same mistakes yr after yr & their cracking play-off record.
That’s true. Because the Canucks capitalize on almost every single scoring chance they create, while most over teams would just chip the puck into Demko’s pads knowing 100% it’s not going in.
Canucks usually lead by multiples goals after the first or second period and plays defence rather than shoot the puck in the third
Amazing game tonight ❤
The last 2 weeks have been entertaining with Steve! He is warming up for the playoffs, that’s nice!
At this rate they're playing and how Tampa and Detroit are playing playoffs might not be guaranteed.
As a Blues fan, this makes me feel better about my team even though we're worse in the standings. Thanks Steve!
How much longer do you guys have Tavares tying up $11 million in cap? I had to check the boxscore to see if he even played. He was invisible out there.
myers couldn't see him properly either, especially with that whiff-haymaker at the end there 😂
@@bellapheronthat's why you bring in not 1 but 2 monsters.

A 20+ minute recap when your team beats the leafs…yes please 😎🍷
If that second period had gone a bit different coulda been a solid half hour
I think Steve's doppelganger Oilers Fan Steve should make an appearance. He'd have a better experience, maybe start an "OLR" Channel....lol
There were a LOT of missed calls, here, and most of them favoured Toronto. Giordano was clutching the hell out of Hoglander on the first goal, no call.
I will tune in After every Nuks/leafs game. This guy is Epic@!!!!!!
I’ll never understand why players don’t do team friendly deals as much. Like I’d happily take $5 million a year and free up cap space for the team to work with. Especially when I know I’m with an already loaded team. I realize that they are talented and deserve the money, but locking guys up for HUGE contracts just makes it harder to win with. Idk that’s just my opinion
I agree. I would happily take 2 million to leave enough for the whole team. They all say, "I wanna win and stay here my whole career," but how much do they really want to win if they take this much cap? Especially when they haven't accomplished anything. Imo the only one who actually took a pay cut is Rielly
that should be THE opinion. hockey is a team game like no other, and genuinely requires four solid lines to win. team-friendly deals should be the norm of competitive teams, but sadly the ego-driven rockstar greed of our time forbids it in cases like Toronto.
@@bellapheron Think part of it, is just making sure they can be comfortable after their career is over. I mean who knows what petterson will agree on, but I do get it. Now, if you have the team and rising water floats all ships mentality, then you have to be able to do a team friendly contract.I mean as a canucks fan, part of the reason I like the sedins more, is because they did a more team friendly contract to stay in the city and the team.
Communism vs capitalism I guess.
@@gdavho8778 to an extent I guess
I notice the Leafs let in more goals than the Oilers in their last 4 games combined...
Even more bummed when I realized they play again tomorrow... yup, that's this team...
Greetings from a Vancouver Canucks fan. Thanks for making this podcast. I am watching this podcast twice.
Only thing we can celebrate on, is SteveDangle still makes videos of this team ALL SEASON long!!!
Trust the Process
- Not Sheldon Keefe
As much as I love Gio he did have a tendency to let his emotions get the better of him even in Calgary. Bad penalties are a hallmark in physical games.
It was amazing to meet you at the Steve dangle night in Kingston
Another great game love it.
Looking at the strength of remaining schedule… ooooof.
The xG% was 50.7 for the leafs 5 on 5. That should tell you the quality of the shots the Leafs were getting.
Exactly shots alone don’t tell the whole story
Expected goals... Expected by whom?
@@Outta-hz1ej a mathematical formula based on shots taken in that area in the past. Granted, there is some human bias in it, i.e. is the goalie screened, but they try to keep the human element out of it.
Hi Steve! From all us Canucks fans we do love you!
This one thing I've been waiting for for a while. So much good depth where our 3rd and 4th line (and demmer) bascilly carrys the game when the stars don't have a fantastic game
Alright Leafblowers, you know what to do! Buy yet another $400 jersey, $20 beer, and the highest priced tickets to keep this team the richest in the league! Then in May, you can watch the highest paid 3 some in the NHL on the golf course. Again! Poor Dangler will NEVER see a Leaf Cup in his lifetime!
If things keep going the way they are we might see a Leafs jersey get chucked on the ice before the end of the year
Trade Nylander before his No Trade new deal kicks in July 1st, 2024.
Nylander would have to order a moving van and a Brinks truck.
Totally agree that they need to trade Nylander.
Klingberg ❌
Reaves ❌
Bertuzzi ❌
trading away Lafferty ❌
giving Nylander more than what he deserves AND a full NMC ❌ (like seriously, did you not learn from the Huberdeau contract in Calgary?)

Treliving has struck out so much he might as well play for the 2023 Blue Jays !
lol
Domi X, He does nothing out there, All he does is fancy skate, More of a figure skater than a hockey player. No physicality, Never hits, Fights but get the S***t kicked out of him all the time. He's just living on his dad's name. A total disappointment. Keefe needs to Bench him next game.
He didn't learn from Huberdeau, because he only had to deal with one year of it. Huberdeau is doing better this season(HE'S SHOOTING! HOLY SHIT!), but he's 8-9 million at most.
You forgot over-committing to Kampf 4 years❌
What did Toronto do to ruin Bert?
I don't like the Leafs' chances tomorrow against the Kraken, after the mauling they got in Vancouver. The Canucks are picky shooters, who are hell on a goalie's GAA and often outshot by teams they beat. They give other teams the perimeter because they trust their goalies to make saves (Demko was completely screened by his own defenceman on the first goal) and they're confident their defence can disrupt passes and players in their zone. Canucks special teams dominated the game.
You get it. So few do. Most just look at the shots and wonder why they lost. Calgary fans used to be bad for that. We out shoot every team so why do we lose??? It's quality of chances and ability to finish.
Yup this is exactly why the Canucks are top goalscorers in the league. It's extremely easy to look at the shot total and say that there should've been way more goals against based on the number alone. But the Canucks lock down games in the 3rd period, they get sticks in the lanes and prevent high danger passes resulting in an inability to generate major chances. That's why they've got the widest goal differential in the NHL.
The shot totals are wildly deceptive when you look at the game. If it was as simple as outshooting the opponent, the Canucks wouldn't be 1st in the league right now. Demko's great but he only had 3 shutouts in his entire career, this season alone he's already put up 4. That's not him being the best he's ever been, it's a defensive system in front of him.
That first Nylander goal Demko had a 6’7 screen in front of him
And the second, his own d man tipped it in 😢
yeah demko couldnt see through giraffe myers so that wasnt demkos fault
At one point the game was 3-3 and Myers was -3. His contract can't end soon enough.
Yeah, I don't think he even saw it.
I get what you mean when you say no one is Canada's team but I for one am ready for the drought as a talking point (esp with American fans) to end. I sure would like to see the Canucks be the team to do it though...
Good job Steve
Watching the highlights this game was a….finger flick.
One thing i have learned watching 30 years of hockey is that shot total doesnt really matter much.
Its quality that does.
Usually team that fears to death of losing tends to fire from everywhere and most shots hit the logo .
Lack of focus is a killer, not lack of shot totals.
From the UK; I couldn't agree more cos in football the last few yrs its data this & data that with things like possession %, in the Prem Lge teams can win with as little as 20% as long as they score 1 & defend like crazy!! The score counts everything else is babble & American sport's love their babble!!
Yeah, they are not going anywhere, 1 win in 6 weeks against playoff bound teams, tells you everything, and again, as per usual, no secondary scoring.
Steve I don't know how you've been able to do this for 17 seasons and watch and analyze every game and do it sober
I was stuck at work but.... looked like another defensive gem. Another bucket of Sad Sauce. There is NO D mindset on this team
Martin Jones chariot has hit midnight. Although his defence was better on an expansion team….
Yep, I remember saying that the Leafs were hoping the bubble didn't burst for Jones. Well, it's happened.
BRAAAAAADDDD is gonna be part of the LFR 18 intro sequence, calling it now
that brad opening sure woke me up
To be fair outshooting your opponent doesn’t necessarily mean your dominating the game case in point Floridas entire run to the Stanley cup Finals they got outshot in pretty much every game they played the Canucks are sort of similar in that they don’t take many shots but a lot of them are very good scoring chances
Yup the Canucks get outshot like 90% of their games but they keep winning. There’s a reason for that, 31 wins in.
I wish they sign John Tortorella as coach for leafs. Some say he eats reporters mic for breakfast.
I think Tororella can't be signed in Toronto because 34, 16 and 88 have a no accountability or criticism clause in their bullshit contracts.
Joel Quenville !!
I will NEVER forget Torts trying to fight his way into the Calgary locker room after their coach started the game with their goon-line.
I have literally never seen a coach that angry before.
I was waiting for you to bring up the two exact same ppg’s. When they got the second one in my heart went out to ya.
Also, and hear me out. But, America doesn’t give a shit about hockey. Outside of the Midwest, not really. Canucks and Jets. Last two that need a cup.
@@jamesskinner4752 Sens?
This was not the video to be watching as high as I am now. Oh man!!
Sheldon Keefe is an AHL coaching period!! Babcock is smiling somewhere 😂
In the asylum for sure.
I’ve been looking forward to this LFR all season. Getting my popcorn and twisting one up for the watch. GO CANUCKS GO!
Whales together strong
As an oilers fan. Your doing the country a great service by beating the leafs
We appreciate your support. Down with the Make Beliefs!
@jamminninja8924 you little brother fan bases make me laugh.
I don't even think about your teams.
I agree but my god I was so worried when the Leafs tied it after being down 3-0
Good to see leafs nation is still CRAZY!!
18:17 pic is gold.
The Canucks can finish the season winning the Presidents trophy and the east coast media personnel will still doubt them while the Leafs would be cup favorites just making the playoffs...
I mean, that's exactly what happened in 2011.
Who cares, I don't want the media talking about another team.
Thank God they don't show other teams any love
When Gio played for the Shames, I used to yell at the TV because he would take stupid penalties at the most critical points of games costing us dearly at times. It was at this point where I started to think that he was getting older and slower and that was how many years ago? A few at least. Well it's safe to say that this is his last season. I think he hung on a bit too long.
He is so slow. Just an orange cone to go around
Live shows sound awesome. Hope you guys make a move too see Colorado vs Toronto in the cup. Go Avs Go
Yeah the rec room ! I went this past fall, right in front of the baseball game and cn tower and ripleys aquarium so awesome ! Very cool experience in one area!
Well guys, there is always next year! It will take at least 2 to 3 more years before we even make the playoffs again. Go Canucks Go!!!
Do you guys realize that Vancouver is now leaps and bounds closer to win a cup than we are, they are world class, they have everything it takes to win a cup, goaltending, defense and offense. We have one. Offense. We have have been trying to do the same thing with the same formula and it's obvious that again, it will not work...doesn't matter if they have flashes of brilliance at points during a game. That end of period goal was the epitome of what this team is all about. Demko is all world.
We've still got a few problems. Our RHD needs one more quality player. We need a decent 2c if we are going to stack the miller and petey and we could use another top 6 winger as Kuzmenko just isn't delivering. Still, nice problems to have I guess.
Full disclosure. I'm a canuck fan and the title probably why you popped up. You had me laughing..... it sounded like me ranting first 40 canuck games last year. I feel your pain 😂
Good news for Leafs fan, last time Steve melted down like this, the team basically didn't lose for like 2 months and then won the first playoff series in a couple decades.
ROFLMAO!! Well clearly that exact thing is going to happen again. Wait for it.
I feel like the devils and the leafs are having disturbingly similar seasons
Domi and Gio need to be scratched tomorrow and Sammy needs to start.
Can't afford to scratch Domi, he can play center and Robertson is much worse. Gio for Lagesson absolutely.
Domi been playing fairly well, that crosscheck call was bs, very soft call from the refs after allowing both teams to play all night until that point.
Love it how everyone wanted Sammy gone and never to be seen again and now have reverted back to “Sammy needs to start” lol
Newest subscriber here Steve. Long time viewer first time subscriber.
That opening was gold 😂
We need Berube!
Steve, come on now.
The Canucks are the top scoring team in the league, with a goal differential of +57. It is possible that Canucks are really good at shooting the puck and the goals scored were good goals.
There are 5 Leaf players that consume well over half the available cap space. Naturally, the quality of the other players on the roster will suffer.
Seriously, Leafs just signed Nylander to a 11.5 million a year contract. Perhaps, they would have been better served trading for better defense, since defense wins championships.
What is the GM supposed to do when saddled with huge contracts which hampers their ability to improve the team elsewhere. Treliving was stuck with this roster, and essentially had to sign Nylander or else there would have been a Leafs Fan temper tantrum of epic proportions. Sure Nylander can score, but he can't really defend.
Canucks are the number one team in the league for a reason. Give them credit for locking the game down and winning.
Yeah we're well over halfway through the season here. It's not like the Blackhawks just scored 6 on the Leafs, these are the Canucks who are statistically the best goalscorers in the NHL this year. The Canucks did exactly what they've done for 31 wins now--they capitalized on high danger chances as they always do, and they locked down with the defence to protect the lead in the 3rd. Demko didn't have to make miracle saves until it was literally a 3 man advantage, beyond the D's control.
Don't forget although the Canucks don't shoot much. However they are top 4 team in offensive ice time.
Yes # one but that can change at anytime..
Anyone who knows hockey knows this.
Numbers don't mean anything..
@@coryjohn4057Exactly. The Canucks make their shots count.
@@stoptheplanet962 only for the Leafs. Good regular season team. But no fight. They cowardly faced the Canucks. Looked scared
