And 6 years later they still only have 1 playoff round win. Enjoy the victory of getting Matthews back then. That's all the Leafs are going to win for a long time.
As a life long Oilers fan, I'd like to send my congrats to Leaf Nation. I fully understand the excitement that comes with a number 1 pick and Matthews looks like the real deal. Fingers crossed that he helps lift your team back to the playoffs!
Im from 2023- Mathews Tavares ROR Kadri won a cup with avs. Bozak won cup with blues. Kessel won two cups with penguins. There was this whole pandemic and.... I've said enough
Watch it be this season, when we least expect it. My Sharks aren't making playoffs this year, so I'll be rooting hard for the Leafs because of Steve. Of all the teams who are making the playoffs and haven't won the Cup, Steve's the biggest die hard fan of them all.
I want to time travel back and tell Steve that the pain only intensifies from this moment of joy. So much so that you question if this moment of joy is even going to be the answer.
5 years later, if this is the best that Matthews and company have, the Leaves are far fricking away from winning a cup. The top 4 Matthews, Nylander, Marner, and Tavares have NO playoff heart. To have any real success in the playoffs the Leaves are going to have to part with at least 2 of those players. Year after year they have proved that they have no playoff heart. Regular season, absolutely. Regular season when everything is easy, and the refs call everything. No heart when the going gets tough.
did people not catch that when Habs were announced they were called the "first" canadian team in the lottery draft completely forgetting that Sens didnt win the lottery before lol.
Watching this in 2024 , Auston just tied the 65 goal regular season record in the Salary cap era with 5 games remaining in the regular season , He is a top 5 player in the league. This was a solid pick.
Weeeeeee! Pretty sure I was also running around after that reveal. I mean.....wow, fun! This was freaking great. The Leafs won a thing! The Leafs don't win things! But they did! This is exactly what they needed. It's like the hockey gods said "we know that deal with the devil thing that lead to the playoff incident was rough on you guys....here you go." Everything this year worked. We dumped major parts of the old core, we got Babcock, Lou, draft picks, got to the bottom....and actually got the top pick! First freaking overall! Season a full 100% success. Thank you RNJesus.
6 seasons later, Matthews has 54 goals with 12 games remaining. John Tavares is a Leaf and the new Captain. Matthews and Marner are debatably the best duo in the NHL. We had a 3-1 SERIES LEAD, and blew it in the first round. We got a new goalie who is an All-Star. Got Mark Giordano, Wayne Simmons, Jason Spezza and a young guy from the Arizona Coyotes named Michael Bunting who is like Wayne Simmons and sets both Matthews and Marner up. Also, also, beats people up.
Bunting beats people up?!?! WTF are you talking about? I don't think he's ever had a fight in the NHL. Maybe 1? Matthews hit 60 goals in the regular season 2 years ago. Good for him. How much playoff success have the Leafs had since they got him? 1 playoff round win. He is a regular season performer only. The 3 other "top guys" are also regular season players. None of them have the heart required to win in the playoffs. They are not going to win anything with that "top 4". You all need to accept that. Go on, tell me how all star their new goalie is. Which new goalie was that? Giordano is old and done. Simmons is a press box filler. Spezza is retired. And Bunting helps the team more when he is out of the lineup than when he is in. Face the facts, the Leafs are closer to needing a rebuild, than they are to a cup.
Well the Caps, Pens, and Blackhawks all got 1st overall picks(OV, Sid, and Kane) and look how that worked out for those franchises. I know it hasn't worked for Edmonton, but they're....they're Edmonton
I'm here in 2023, after the Panthers won both games in Toronto, to start off the 2nd round series. That top 4 of Matthews, Marner, Tavares, and Nylader are too soft, and too spineless. That is no surprise to anyone outside of Toronto.
And now, in May of 2023, they have a whopping 1 playoff series win with Matthews. LOL! They aren't going to make it 2 playoff round wins this year. None of the top 4 have the heart or spine to carry that team to a win.
3:24 he does become the leafs #1 Centre and also breaks Rick Vaive's single season goal record and becomes the first leaf to score 60 goals in a single season.
And how much playoff success has he given the Leafs? R O F L M A O!! He is a regular season wonder. He doesn't have the heart needed to have playoff success. He really is soft.
+MrKleenexDude Thanks man. Seems like we dont have that problem anymore with a potential Matthews...itd be interesting to see how he'd be as a winger...especially with that wrister
I don't see them picking one. They have an abundance of left handed defenceman and all the top d in this draft are left defenceman. The oilers need defenceman who are ready now not 4 years from now. Preferably right handed ones.
Year Of winners, The jays made an amazing run, Leafs might have lost the season but won our hearts again with a bonus of first draft pick, TFC finally got to the playoffs, and Raptors finally Got to the second round!! Im proud to be TORONTONIAN
I’m watching this in 2018 and when he said “Nylander Matthews and Kadri” and how those are great centres now just switch Nylander with Tavares and that’s amazing
As a long suffering Oilers fan, congrats. Best of luck and it should be fun to watch these two teams play each other in a few years. As a side note, Kadri's signing was probably insurance in case they didn't win the top pick (and went with Laine or Puujarvi instead). Having depth down the middle is never a bad thing. And none of that takes into account the possibility of Stamkos . . .
Man if I could only go back into the past like a time lord and warn past Steve to save future Steve's blood pressure. Also I would tell him of creating hat picks and Dang-its so he could keep doing it after leaving Sportsnet.
Watching this in 2018. I had a good laugh when you talked about having Matthews, Nylander and Kadri at center. Well Steve, 2016 version of you would have shit a literal brick knowing that we also go John Fricken Tavares!!!
It wasn't just Brandon Saad in 2011. John Gibson and Rickard Rakell also used to be Leafs picks too....but we traded those two picks to move up to get Tyler Biggs ahhhhhhhhhhh :(
The Leafs at center are like what the Caps could’ve had as their top six if McPhoe didn’t trade Forsberg. They wouldn’t have needed to draft Vrana (since they already have their young star right wing), and could’ve used that pick (13th) to draft Dylan Larkin, making a top six of Ovi-Backstrom, Forsberg-Kuznetsov, and potentially, Burakovsky-Larkin. That’s unstoppable. I know this is 2 years late, but I was just having a conversation about this and it reminded of the Leafs’ center depth, and this video
Tavares, marner 8th in points, Matthews, kadri, nylander ppg in his last 8, johnsson on a tear, kappy on 60 point pace, Rielly a Norris candidate, kadri, Jake Muzzin, Freddy is a star, dermott a top 4, and two bluechip dmen in the Marlies working their way up. Second in the league. This is a nice video to watch now...
4 years later.....ROFLMAO!! How is all that regular season stuff working out for you in the playoffs? The Leafs are closer to needing a rebuild, than they are to winning a Cup.
@@carletonrutherford1799 are we not currently still in the playoffs? The leafs are currently having their best season in 2 decades and it’s not even over, what are you even scoffing at?
@@prodigioso6779 LOL! Good for them, 0 wins after 2 home games in round 2. Maybe they get 1 win this round before they are bounced. They aren't going anywhere. You all had your Stanley Cup celebrations after winning the first round. Be happy with that. Regular season wonders.
@@carletonrutherford1799 This is ridiculously stupid take. 1. I wouldn’t be so confident that the leafs don’t come back in this series. Sure they are down 2-0, but have absolutely showed that they could have won each of those last two. Further, they did incredibly well on the road in Tampa. Don’t count them out. 2. I want the leafs to win, but will not be overly upset if they lose. I’m used to their losing, but I also am satisfied with their progress this season. 19 years is a long time, so I’m actually happy with their season even if they don’t make it all the way. Winning the cup is a lengthy process and this season has been a stepping stone in that. You saying to “be happy with that” is entirely reflective of my mindset. You were the one who came back to a 4 year old comment on my excitement for the future of this team. Not only was that excitement correct in the moment, but it stands and you wont kill it.
@@prodigioso6779 Your comment isn't 4 years old to me, it's a couple hours old.That's how comments work on the internet. They lost both games at home, not on the road. They got manhandled, that's why there is anger towards the Bennett and Tkachuk right now. Their top 4, including Tavares, Marner, Matthews, and Nylander have been invisible so far in this round. Not one of them has stepped up. Whether you want to hear it or not, all 4 of those players are soft. Not a single one is going to put the Leafs on their back and carry them. They never have in the playoffs. Great regular season players sure, but not playoff performers. The Leafs are not going to go far in the playoffs with them. That is why this was the first 2nd round in almost 20 years. It didn't happen 5, 4 or even 3 years ago with those same players. If the same lack of success continues next year do not be surprised if Matthews walks. If he does, the Leafs are in huge trouble. That is when the downhill slide will begin. They are going to be out of this years playoffs in 3 games, 4 if they are lucky. Be a fan all you like, but open your eyes and accept that that roster doesn't have what it takes to go far in the playoffs. They need to make big changes, not tinker around the edges.
Steve the real winners this year are the jets. They have deepest prospect pool in the nhl. Talk about Finnish Flash 2.0 coming to the peg. Even though there not my team (and i wish my nucks won the lottery) i am really happy for winnipeg. You guys are stacked.
I've seen so many parallels with my Hawks and your Leafs before. This just might be your version of the Hawks' 2007 draft, Leafs Nation. We drafted some small dude. I forget his name. I have to go Goigle it.
Little did Steve know the trio would become Tavares, Matthews, and Kadri
He’s a winger

Gonna come back on Saturday see what happens.
Im from 2023- Mathews Tavares ROR Kadri won a cup with avs. Bozak won cup with blues. Kessel won two cups with penguins. There was this whole pandemic and.... I've said enough
Kessel another cup with Vegas.
waiting for the day to see the LFR when the leafs win the cup
we'll be dead before then

I had to watch the beginning 200+ times and I still laugh every time
first ever happy leafs moment and no hat guy???? Come on Steve. Hat guys deserves better
Eight years later, he's nearly at 50 goals and we're only in February!
One year later and I still love this video! 😂😂
after every game auston plays, this video gets better and better, its aging like a fine wine.
i'll be here same time next year lol
Auston Matthechews. Rename Iggy now.
That's horrible
+Hockey Mind Pawston Mathews
+77076 Pawston Matthews is clearly the way to go
+77076 absolutely brilliant

I want to time travel back and tell Steve that the pain only intensifies from this moment of joy. So much so that you question if this moment of joy is even going to be the answer.
REMEMBER WHEN THE LEAFS HAD PROBLEMS AT CENTRE? HAAAAAAAA
Remember when the leafs won the Cup?
+Dark Gomamon no
Rudde I think almost everyone here can't remember that since they are not older than like 55 years old
HAHAHAHA Tavares, Matthews, and Kadri!!!! HAHAHA!!!!
Michael O'Connor so they leafs third center had 32 goals last year Damn the leafs are stacked up front I say only Tampa is better then them at offense
If he gets THIS excited about the Leafs winning the draft lottery, I can't imagine his reaction when they win the Stanley Cup! 😂😂
Can just imagine 107 year old steve having a stroke
Probably the first half of the video would just Be him screaming
WM Aviation probably dies of a stroke
