As a bruins fan I love watching you guys. And it's not even to watch steve go crazy when the leafs and bruins play. You guys are just genuinely my favorite hockey outlet!
At least 6 times a Leafs game, I find myself thinking back to Peewee practices where the coach would yell at you for taking a bad angle shot, missing the net, & the puck rings out of the zone. And then being told to shoot off the goalie pads for a rebound, because your teammates are going to the net.
As a Sault Ste Marie boy who lives in St Catharines now, the drive from Parry Sound up is absolutely stunning. Whenever anyone says “ontario isnt pretty” I immediately know they havent been further north than Muskoka.
I grew up in southern Ontario so it’s funny hearing people complaining about a 3 hour drive being far it now takes me 5 hours one way to get to Walmart in Northern Alberta
I moved from KW to Sarnia, but I work in Windsor. Some people are impressed, or appalled, at the drive - but I remember my dad driving from KW to Toronto every day through the 90s. Perspective, I guess. That said, a buddy of mine commutes from Hamilton into Toronto every day, and I'm pretty sure my 1hr 40min drive is less than his
@@LordGrantius Yeah I drive between 20,000-30,000 km a year for work but thats all covered. When you have to add all that time onto a normal work day it becomes very tiring.
The problem with driving from one side of the GTA to the other side of the GTA is you need to drive through the entirety of Toronto. It is legitimately hell.
Hey guys! Great show! Just wanted to point out a minor note on your legal zoom ad spot. You have one of the "legal" words spelled incorrectly ("leagal"). Keep it up and cheers guys!
1:18:00 I’m a season ticket holder in Berlin and he’s actually very beloved by the fans and interacts with them a lot. His name is Bulli, which is the German term for Faceoff.
As a eisbären (Berlin polar bears) fan…that mascot has been in a few of my nightmares for sure (he’s actually super nice though, just scary looking). You guys definitely gotta go to a game at some point to see him irl haha (also the atmosphere is great, especially when you stand in the Fankurve (fan section), it’s rowdy and loud, just how it’s supposed to be)
As a Bruins fan I would like to officially thank Steve, Adam, and Jesse for their "Whats wrong with the Bruins?" Segment. Bruins had two shutout wins after this was uploaded. Keep up the good anti-jinx work!
As a Sens fan, relying on Auston for everything is basically what the Sens were last year with Brady. Then we brought in Ullmark, Perron, Amadio, Cousins - older guys, cup winners, from winning cultures. Gregor even in terms of work ethic. Even if they're not the best players, the experience and mindset adds up.
That’s funny, cause we have Stolarz and other Cup winners now…. you’d think it would work soon… Auston is injured Day To Day, btw… let’s see what they could do vs Boston tonight ‼️🤷♂️😱
Agree with your depth talk. They need one more centre there who’s like 27-33 can play all situations and be generally relied upon. Freeing up Liljegrens money doesn’t make it impossible. Probably plenty of solid third line guys out there available for the right price.
a 2 1/2 hr drive is long? you need to expand your comfort. Adam, the 'flatness' of southwestern Ontario, makes Saskatchewan look like Dolly. Remember, southwestern Ontario only has the escarpment/ridge.
For me the issue with the powerplay mostly comes down to how static they are. Even when they scored you have 5 leafs standing still waiting for Matthews to do something…
I helped a Church friend move out of her parents house and instead of a basement they had an indoor pool...also had the cedar wall panels. It was a big house, but since I was used to living in a bungelow I was like, oh this is a nice house WAIT WHAT?!?!?!
You guys have a negative opinion of Binnington because of his past antics. He’s still a very good goalie. The Blues have other problems that result in goals against.
Lmao Adam nailed it at the start when he said about driving 3hrs to meet people who like you and Steve complaining 😂😂 the 3 of you need to come to London and do a podcast airing
😂😂 Calgary to Edmonton is definitely not the most “nothing” drive! It’s a 9hr drive from Northern AB to Calgary and the Edm-Cgy section is the most entertaining portion!
No one expected the wild stringing this many games together, but they are so overlooked. This isn't the mid team of years past. Look out when the Parise-Suter cap ball and chain come off. As a Minnesotan, obviously cheering for the Wild last night. But for some reason, I picked up watching the Leafs as my eastern team back in 2019. Not sure why I wanted to add more misery to my sport fandom life.
I’m a ball hockey player and it’s always frustrated me how sports like swimming can have so many disciplines/medals and hockey only gets 1 gold medal. 3on3 and ball hockey are a couple of easy additions that would make the overall sport of hockey more valuable to a county’s medal table, attract more viewership, etc
If AM and WN each get 50, they are closer to winning the division than missing the playoffs...a focus on keeping the puck out of your own net also kinda matters
Part of the thing with the Islanders is that it’s not like they haven’t tried to draft generational scorers. The problem is that they ended up being one dimensional and the talent hasn’t translated. They tried it with Bellows and Wahlstrom and now they are trying it with Eiserman
Guys... look at the age of this team. The youngest member of the core is Matthews at 27. This d-core, which has looked solid so far, is made up mainly by Rielly, Tanev, Oel and McCabe. ALL of whom are in their 30s. The contending window for this team is the next 3 years, MAYBE 5 depending on how Matthews ages and what the team does. If a bridge deal gets Knies in at 3x4mil or smth like that instead of 8x7mil, you take that every time because it doesn't matter what this team looks like in five years. The contending window is NOW, and they have to act like it. Signing Knies to an eight year deal may be good in the long run but if it hurts your chances in the here and now it doesn't matter.
Adam clearly doesn't watch or remotely follow the blues, which I get being a leafs fan, mid team in the West, but Binnington has had just terrible defense in front of him.
Binnington only had 1 bad season and it wasn’t the 27-27 record with a 890% we tanked that year and traded everyone with the worst defense in the nhl. Binnington hate is unreal. Lol. Ask any blues fan
They are super wrong on the total goals topic. Leafs total goals in 23/24 was 2nd in league, 298. The Rangers won Presidents' trophy with 20 less goals at 278. If you allow less goals, you can get away shooting less too.
The biggest reason for success on the powerplay against the Wild was not using their defencemen, who aren't capable of playing at the same level as the Fab Four. OEL is long past his best before date, but fine on the 2nd unit powerplay. Rielly is good, but shouldn't be the number one offensive defenceman on an elite team quarterbacking the powerplay, the same way Kaberle shouldn't be. Putting all forwards out on the first unit means a lot more goals, but they have to be willing to get beat on some short handed goals, because the last man back isn't great at defence.
As a bruins fan I love watching you guys. And it's not even to watch steve go crazy when the leafs and bruins play. You guys are just genuinely my favorite hockey outlet!
I don’t think you would have those same feelings if Toronto won more games than bruins have between each other 😂
Rangers fan here, can say the same thing
@@everyonesguy7466 not true lol. I'll still watch em even if they own us because believe it or not, not all of our egos are that fragile.
Steve calling Spurgeon “Brodin” multiple times is so funny to me, he’s never beating the forgetting Spurgeon allegations.
I was screaming spurgeon the whole time
1:08:25 Lou Lamoriello is 82 years old..... 82 YEARS!? THAT'S SO MANY YEARS!
I’m the horse by the side of the road” 😂😂😂😂😂
This has me in tears!!!!
Adams is such a billionaire he has a friend with a spare house for a pool

Wasn’t expecting so much real estate in a HOCKEY podcast lololol. Congrats on the book Steve

I see a section called "The leafs get 1 of 4 points over the weekend" and I also see that its 45 minutes long so this oughta be a DOOZY!

@@LordGrantius Yeah I drive between 20,000-30,000 km a year for work but thats all covered. When you have to add all that time onto a normal work day it becomes very tiring.
I moved from new brunswick to b.c and back move back was without cruise control or a second driver and 3 kids
@Kbrookesy I wish my travel was covered. I do get a LOA, so it kind of is, but 10hr days, 3+hrs driving, you're absolutely right its quite the day
1:49:20 Steve "Hmmm"-ing right as the screen changed was an experience 😆
HARD, HARDER, HARDEST
Name a better trilogy, I’ll wait.
Adam "I'm the horse on the side of the road"🤣😂
Well……The Name Fits‼️‼️‼️😂😂😂😂….. uh yeah I totally misinterpreted these comments on the horse 🐴….. I get it now

BUILD THE TUNNEL RAHHHHH
@connormelber2758 what if we build a second 401.... underneath the 401!!! 🤯🤯🤯
No. You build a bypass that runs over Lake Ontario.
Ok I got it….. Is there a New Jersey Devil from Toronto ⁉️
The most obvious statement I've seen today
Hey guys! Great show! Just wanted to point out a minor note on your legal zoom ad spot. You have one of the "legal" words spelled incorrectly ("leagal").

"I am the horse by the side of the highway right now."
Oh my goodness, Adam Wylde!
"82 years? That's SO MANY YEARS!"
The whole podcast should come back to London, it would be really fun 🥹
Nobody talks about it but Stollars has made some really good breakout passes feeding his teammates at the other teams blue line.
Yeah I’ve noticed….
1:18:00 I’m a season ticket holder in Berlin and he’s actually very beloved by the fans and interacts with them a lot. His name is Bulli, which is the German term for Faceoff.
"Glass masonry units" is what those glass blocks are called. And I agree, Adam, they're very cool when used installed properly. LETS GO BLUES!!!
Steve needs to write a book called Zoo Stories. Immediate buy.
This episode made me want to do an islanders franchise mode

As an Ottawa resident, I can confirm for Steve that VIA does not actually bring you right to downtown… we have very terrible transit options here 😅
Max getting outrun by 37 year old Jared Spurgeon is so funny to me
He's captain for a reason
@@danieldosso2455 He's way faster than Max. He's a speedy puck mover.

I will also endorse vinyl floors. As a father, former home improvement retail employee and current plumber, I love waterproof floors
Let's Go Sabres! You're welcome and for that we will take an odd win in January.
As a habs fan it pains me to inform you that our last 40 goals scorer was Damphousse in 1994. 2018 isn’t that long ago 😭😅
the powerplay was clearly Guy Boucher's fault ^_^;

EA added 32 NHL coaches.
If they added 35 they would be set for decades.
Shocked to see Torts in NHL 25 i wouldve thought he pull and Billy Bellekic
Jesse! "An injury opens up a roster spot." Hours later, Matthews is day to day with an upper body injury...
Adam nightmare is that LEAFS PP becomes Penguins PP from last year. Slowly the LEAFS becomes current Penguins without the cups.
That Polar Bear outfit looks like they took it off the set of Lost
As of tomorrows game, it'll be 2 years to the day, since the Leafs have beat Boston in the regular season... that hurts deep.!!
Thanks for the New Brunswick poke Steve 😂
I honestly think they should just completely forget about having a powerplay. Run normal lines and play the same way they do 5 on 5
We had an indoor pool back In the 90s greenwin apartment building in David's ville
Rick and Morty "Two Brothers, it's just called Two Brothers"

Remember when Horvat said "Hey, I'm so glad I'm not in Vancouver anymore" ?
And THERE'S the logical conclusion we wanted.
My friend made it from his home town in PTBO ON, to Vancouver in under 30 hours driving like a maniac only stops were fuel....
Under 30? Thats a lie
How come the videos aren’t available on Spotify but the LFR’s are?
Beautiful video title. Love it
Rare Simpsons miss from Steve, McCartney showed up at the end of "Lisa the Vegetarian" to help her reconcile her feelings.
