It aged perfectly well. Just look at where the games are in the US. There is ZERO RISK from letting fully vaccinated people into an arena. This is all political and not about science at all anymore. 550 people is a joke.
People are asking the wrong questions. The question should be “why is Canada lagging so far behind the US in vaccinations?” The US can reopen because they have a higher rate of people who are vaccinated.

Stop defending matthews/marner for being so good defensively. I’m pretty sure that for over 20 million dollars, the leafs could find like 4-6 players who are good defensively. They are paid to score too and that has not happened.
@@codycassel8996Your kidding right? You don't think you could find a cheap banger to go out there play hard, Keep them to even?!? They make like 5 million more then Patrice Bergeron lmao ! If that's not for offense? Then exactly why are they being paid. You think they are 5mill better defensively than Patrice? ? Hahahahahahahahahahaha you have NO clue. There are no other 10million + ,shut-down men . Especially since Marner & Mathews can't shut down a 6 yr old's lemonade stand!! They are losers when it's time for the men to win. Period.
@@Aaron-kq7rd Not sure what you are saying. Matthews and Marner have been good defensively. Not amazing like Bergeron or Kopitar but good. But for players who are being payed 26 mil combined they need more than 4 points in 6 games. Only player who as actually stepped up on that team is Nylander.
UPDATE: 550 Fully vaccinated frontline healthcare workers WILL be allowed to go to the game tonight. MLSE will comp the tickets, and Scotiabank will be giving them all jerseys. Credit to Mayor of Brampton, Patrick Brown for putting the true political push behind this. It's the right thing to do and I can't wait to see it. GO LEAFS GO!
While this is great to hear, it is still embarrassing how little Ontario is opening up...... can't buy "non-essential" items but a privileged group can attend a sporting event ....
Exactly. We need results. We don't care about the fancy number stats of 34 and 16... if they don't produce on the score sheet, it doesn't friggin matter!
Completely agree. Same with goalie numbers. I'm a goalie and if I give up 5 goals in a game, as long as my guys get 6 I don't care what my .GAA and SV% is, at the end of the day the only number that matters is the one in the Win column.
@@wolfiedude121 True that line has been great and credit to Price too, The Leafs outshot them in that OT by quite the margin and he was on his game and probably fair to say stole it for them.
That rant from Adam about the fully vaccinated not being able to go to the game was just beautiful. EDIT: I have no idea what is going on in the comments below this one. Proceed with caution.
It's almost like the rules are made up and the vaccine doesn't matter since now if you've had it the new study has you having immunity to it for at least 4 years
@@platapus112 source? Even if that is true you are way more likely to die or have a long lasting health effect catching the virus than with the vaccine. Just ask Marco Rossi.
@@ThePFD518 It has a lethality rate on .3 percent. It is not as lethal as the media is hyping it up to be. I already had it and had a physical before and after having it and have no side effects from it. NIH has reported immunity, as had Nature just last Friday. New bone marrow studies suggest that your body can produce antibodies for it up to 4 years based on other Sars infections
@@platapus112 where are you getting .3%? Scientists aren’t 100% sure what it is but they say it’s around 1% which can change depending on how well it’s handled. It’s an issue because it is high contagious which means hospitals will fill up fast to a point they cannot handle. Link what you claim about the immunity. Even if that is true, it is much less risky to get the vaccine as it doesn’t produce the side effects that getting covid would. Marco Rossi hasn’t been able to play hockey since the world juniors. You’d rather have people potentially go down that road instead of a vaccine? Give me a break.
I feel as though that everyone is forgetting that the Habs are succeeding at this the way that everyone thought they might before the season started based on the moves of the last year and a half..... by taking it to seven and being built for a grinding 7 game playoff series. That people are forgetting that opening season streak that had us top of the division... when Price wasn't even playing as well as he is right now. When we didn't have Caufield pushing defenders on their heels even if not putting in the net. Without Playoff Perry in the lineup. As we saw the other night though.... It's a different game when the refs are actually calling penalties and the Habs defence has to play less clutch and wack and grab.
Steve: I tune into the sportsnet streams at the intermissions to listen in, at the end of the game, or after a goal (either team) to get your take... it's been fun having the streams but I feel bad you have to watch the games like that 😅
Thank you Steve for bringing up the topic of their contracts. Marner and Matthews demanded to be paid like top players in the league and they haven't delivered when the games matter the most. No more excuses for this duo!
Yup they said it was Babcock and they replaced him, they said Freddie didn’t steal a series and now new Goalie and Campbell is playing well, they said they needed some veteran leadership they got them Simmonds, Speeza and Thornton. The common denominator is the core : Matthews, Marner, Nylander!! They are the common denominator over the last 4 years. This team loses when the games get tough and you got to compete for every inch of ice. Start of the game they get beat, end of game when another team makes a push and in playoffs. This core is soft talent. They are elite talent but to soft, don’t want to win puck battles and get the puck to the middle of the ice.
@@toddlymburner5783 they got their fat contracts before proving themselves when the games matter the most. Now they eat up such a huge part of the team's cap that we can't afford any decent role players that actually play with heart and grit.
@@niroshank7859 I agree except I will take it one step further. Even if they didn’t get paid those big contract the same result would happen. They just don’t have it in them to compete that’s why when the games get tough and physical like in the playoffs they go quiet. Funny thing nobody’s talking about is Babcock was right about all of this. He was making them earn ice time and he kept talking that they need to dig in and compete. He was right the whole time. Oh how different things would be if Lou was still running the show!

Your passion your knowledge, insight etc I love the "Dang its" because its all the little things that the highlights everywhere else dont show you. And those are what makes the difference. I have no way to ease your pain. That Game seven stung even the most casual leafs fan. But for you I could only imagine. I only can say that whether it was a "wide right" Norwood miss or a '99 Brett Hull skate in the crease Im right there with you. I just wanted to see the Bills win 1. The Giants game in '91 or The Sabres get one Cup in my lifetime for all of the nights spent listening to Rick Jennerette or Ted Darling on the radio under my pillow when I should have been asleep as a kid. For those guys I wanted it too. But for you I wanted the Leafs to go all the way this year. I wanted to live vicariously through you when they hoisted the cup.

@@User-12133 Thanks. I think Steve represents how all of us feel at one time or another. That's what I love about hockey. It's almost like a dysfunctional family. But we all still show up at the BBQ lol
You've perfectly summed it up. A boy amongst men when it comes to playoffs. Look how Montreal manhandles him, roughs him up every chance they get, and it's gotten in his head. Re Pucks over glass. I. Hope he gets off the big line tonight
I'm just glad the narrative FINALLY changed this year. The reasons why they lost most years in the past was not Freddy (minus the one year), but their scoring...
I tuned into the sports net broadcast for the interesting discussion on the game and the knowlage of the players. Steve has a lot of great insight into the game. Not just getting upset.
Toronto blowing a 3-1 series lead, and then losing game 7, was the funniest thing I ever saw. It has now been 17 years since they won a playoff series; and 54 years with NO Stanley Cups. God willing, it will be another 100 years.
@@dantheman7791 I’d rather that than nothing, Matthews and Marner need to get going ASAP, something has to change. I also don’t hate Foligno-Matthews-Marner Galchenyuk-Kerfoot-Nylander Mikheyev-Engvall-Hyman Thornton-Spezza-Simmonds I like this because we remember how dominant that third line connection was, Matthews and Marner did well with Foligno and the Kerfoot Galchenyuk Nylander line looked great in previous games. On the back end they’re picked clean and basically fucked
Steve, I tune in to you to hear you be "Happy Boy." Gets me pumped for the next game! Other times, I tune in to be consoled and other times (like this one) I wish I had my own videos to console you! For me, I know they can do it. They did it in the 3rd and overtime of game 6. They did it in games 2-4 and were damn resilient in game 1. Fix between the ears and do it! If they come out and crush tonight (4 goals + win), let that be something to give you confidence against Winnipeg.
Try watching the Leafs with a spouse who cheers for the opposite team always no matter who they are!! So stressfull. Thanks for the streams Steve it is nice to watch a game with someone who has gone through the same heartache over and over. Love your channel!
Steve, please join producer Drew and also create an AFR for the next NHL dynasty with MacKinnon and Makar. It'll be a team you'll feel good cheering for and has a better chance of not letting you down.
It is a team build issue, signing JT never was a good move for playoff success. Top lines get shut down, need good team depth to take pressure off the top guys.
@@mattmasterson4648 there are so amny teams making the playoffs. And only one with three forwars making 33 million. So obviously going top heavy (not even top heavy cause they havnt proven themselves - more like potential-heavy) is absolultely not necessary to get into the playoffs and do well. Playoff hockey requires much more sacrifice and pure guts than skill alone (which can be enough in the regular season). Already making 11 million without having had to achieve anything in the playoffs does ZERO to motivate a player for playoff "all on the line effort"
@@scienection7261 Mathews and Marner need to score. We all know they can. They have been playing well otherwise, blocking shots, throwing hits etc. Find other players who bring a two-way game to the table and I'll listen. For now I think people need to relax
@@mattmasterson4648 Marner has same points and less hits than Galchenyuk. So no, he has not been playing well,."Find other two-way players" --> look at any other playoffteam in the second round. Its not even about necessarily being two way. Its about givint an output which reflects your salary. Saying Mitsch has blocked some shots is laugable. For 11 million wou can get 3 excellent shot blocker Ds - and they dont throw pucks over the glass for fun. Leafs forwards are super talented no question but are arguably too soft/not gritty enough. And because other treams increase the overall intensity level and checking in the playoffs their offensive numbers dissapear. Always remember its like having a choice between having only marner or having Muzzin AND Reily (money wise). You sacrifice too much paying non-playoff superstarts that much.
As a Habs fan it’s funny you guys blast your first liners, when we just benched our first line winger. It’s kinda tough to rely on two lines, especially when you’re missing Tavares
Steve’s Dang it’s brought me to LFR, Steve’s David Ayers video lead me (a sharks fan) to become a Leafs fan... now I understand what it means to be a leafs fan. Pain.
It is important to keep sports as a hobby at best, and to not let it become an obsession. More importantly, if it is causing pain needlessly, it might be time to step back or step out entirely. I was obsessed with several Michigan teams, having grown up there, and their lack of success caused me stress and made me angry for no reason. It took some doing, but I’m down to two teams, the Lions and Lightning. I don’t get too upset when they lose, I’m happy when they win, but I don’t let it change my mood for days on end.
I was screaming when i heard this😭😭😭 if Price was in the leafs side this series was a sweep Campbell is great but the Habs start scoring goals in game 5. Price is clearly the best goalie in this series
Adam’s jeremiad against the Ontario government is excellent and correct.

You've perfectly summed it up. A boy amongst men when it comes to playoffs. Look how Montreal manhandles him, roughs him up every chance they get, and it's gotten in his head. Re Pucks over glass. I. Hope he gets off the big line tonight
I couldn't have gotten through today without this therapy session, thanks boys.
Wishing both Habs & Leafs fanbases a great game 7 where both teams play their hearts out. Cheers from this Sens fan!
It’s refreshing to hear everything that I’ve been thinking for the last 36 hours out loud
LFR League Fan Reaction. This is next year. Steve will no longer cover the Leafs.
I'm just glad the narrative FINALLY changed this year. The reasons why they lost most years in the past was not Freddy (minus the one year), but their scoring...
Thank you Adam that had to be said #FreeTheFrontlineWorkers
Steve pain is so visible!
Steve-defeated
Leafs Nation-defeated
Leafs have to give this man a win! My pain means nothing after seeing his 😢
My mom said "Adam looks like he just finished filming his part in Flash Dance"
Hey Dangle, I tune into your stream so I can watch with the best Leafs friend I have.
I tuned into the sports net broadcast for the interesting discussion on the game and the knowlage of the players. Steve has a lot of great insight into the game. Not just getting upset.
Steve is a thoughtful analyst-very perceptive despite highly emotional state of mind.
I've been watching the Avs on off-game nights... and man... I hope Matts and Marner are watching how a dominant top line is supposed to be operating.
25:55
What do they need to do to win?
Maybe having your two best players be better than -9!
"Highs? What are those" absolutely killed me
As I’m watching Adam lose his mind the government announces they will let 550 health care workers in tonight after all.
Toronto blowing a 3-1 series lead, and then losing game 7, was the funniest thing I ever saw. It has now been 17 years since they won a playoff series; and 54 years with NO Stanley Cups. God willing, it will be another 100 years.
I agree 100% with Adam's rant 😁
They need to play Nylander with Matthews next game. Marner is cold, Nylander is on fire, they need to give Nylander more minutes
Why not have all 3 on the same line 🤔
@@dantheman7791 I’d rather that than nothing, Matthews and Marner need to get going ASAP, something has to change. I also don’t hate
Foligno-Matthews-Marner
Galchenyuk-Kerfoot-Nylander
Mikheyev-Engvall-Hyman
Thornton-Spezza-Simmonds
I like this because we remember how dominant that third line connection was, Matthews and Marner did well with Foligno and the Kerfoot Galchenyuk Nylander line looked great in previous games. On the back end they’re picked clean and basically fucked
Steve, I tune in to you to hear you be "Happy Boy." Gets me pumped for the next game! Other times, I tune in to be consoled and other times (like this one) I wish I had my own videos to console you!
For me, I know they can do it. They did it in the 3rd and overtime of game 6. They did it in games 2-4 and were damn resilient in game 1. Fix between the ears and do it! If they come out and crush tonight (4 goals + win), let that be something to give you confidence against Winnipeg.
Try watching the Leafs with a spouse who cheers for the opposite team always no matter who they are!! So stressfull. Thanks for the streams Steve it is nice to watch a game with someone who has gone through the same heartache over and over. Love your channel!
Someone always gets the couch after the game.
Adams soo funny man😂😂😂 just goes off about the ontario province halfway in
Leafs are awesome at playing to the level of their opponents, regardless if the team they're playing is better or worse.
very true!
Adam's gets the best rant of all time on this podcast! And on the Ford Government......bravo!
The most Dangle thing would be stop doing LFRs, only for the Leafs to somehow win the Cup.
Steve, please join producer Drew and also create an AFR for the next NHL dynasty with MacKinnon and Makar. It'll be a team you'll feel good cheering for and has a better chance of not letting you down.
Adam's rant is 100%... also, Steve you can't give up the LFR's. they help keep us crazy Leaf's fans semi sane during all this
Cheers to Adam for that rant 👏
Marnier + Mathews 22M$ = 8 PTS
MacKinnon 7.5M$ = 12 PTS
Jesse said the Vegas-Colorado series will be very close but not looking that way after game one 😂
I literally loved Adams rant lol thank you sir you are right!
the thought of Steve strangling Mathews and Marner is actually pretty funny
"Is Steve Dangle going to have to choke a Leaf?"
Thats what happens when you pay young players superstar salary before they have done ANYTHING in the playoffs
It is a team build issue, signing JT never was a good move for playoff success. Top lines get shut down, need good team depth to take pressure off the top guys.
If you don't pay them someone else will. Let's not forget who got this team into the playoffs to begin with
@@mattmasterson4648 there are so amny teams making the playoffs. And only one with three forwars making 33 million. So obviously going top heavy (not even top heavy cause they havnt proven themselves - more like potential-heavy) is absolultely not necessary to get into the playoffs and do well. Playoff hockey requires much more sacrifice and pure guts than skill alone (which can be enough in the regular season). Already making 11 million without having had to achieve anything in the playoffs does ZERO to motivate a player for playoff "all on the line effort"
@@scienection7261 Mathews and Marner need to score. We all know they can. They have been playing well otherwise, blocking shots, throwing hits etc. Find other players who bring a two-way game to the table and I'll listen. For now I think people need to relax
@@mattmasterson4648 Marner has same points and less hits than Galchenyuk. So no, he has not been playing well,."Find other two-way players" --> look at any other playoffteam in the second round. Its not even about necessarily being two way. Its about givint an output which reflects your salary. Saying Mitsch has blocked some shots is laugable. For 11 million wou can get 3 excellent shot blocker Ds - and they dont throw pucks over the glass for fun. Leafs forwards are super talented no question but are arguably too soft/not gritty enough. And because other treams increase the overall intensity level and checking in the playoffs their offensive numbers dissapear. Always remember its like having a choice between having only marner or having Muzzin AND Reily (money wise). You sacrifice too much paying non-playoff superstarts that much.
Adam listened! Headband is BACK ON!!!!!!
How many times did you guys before the trade deadline say they were f@cked if they lost a defenseman...
I just wanna give Steve a hug. He needs it.
Adam Wylde the true Premier of Ontario
If Steve stops making LFRs next year then you guys better make a podcast to every day
If I could change something, it’s JT, ur telling me he wouldn’t get a single goal in Game 1,5,6
true, or an assist that makes the difference.
Love hearing steve swear. So much more natural steve
It’s time to blow up this roster. Toronto has too many superstars. Trade away a superstar to send a message to the rest of the team
What? They dominated the division all season and they are in game 7... Sure we expected more but you're overreacting
Campbell may have a better save % but cmon you cant say in any words he is out duelling price... put campbell in mtl net, lets see that playout🙄😂
I'm a leaf fan: Campbell is good but Price is phenomenal
As a Habs fan it’s funny you guys blast your first liners, when we just benched our first line winger. It’s kinda tough to rely on two lines, especially when you’re missing Tavares
The Leafs went to game seven against a team that has no left wingers.
Just five centers and seven right wingers. lol
@@TheArcher143 well, toffoli/armia can play left wing naturally, Evans is just an anomaly, and Byron can play basically any position.
@@eebro65 Could you elaborate on Evans being an anomaly? What did you mean by that?
@@Moda-pf8wt he can play anywhere, Center, winger whatever
@@eebro65 That explains a lot. Hard to believe Evans was a seventh rounder back in 2014 when he has that much versatility.
Feeling hyped for game 7!
May the best team win!
It's a two man team shut down those two and they have no one else...
LOL- better win now cause Matthews is leaving after his contract ends.
If we lose this is the defiantly the most heartbreaking series of the modern era idk how these guys can’t win a 4th game
The goal for life is to find someone who looks at you the way Steve looks at Adam when Adam is yelling more than him
Just got off work, 2 am in BC. Early post boys!
Same dawg Great timing hahaha
Steve’s Dang it’s brought me to LFR, Steve’s David Ayers video lead me (a sharks fan) to become a Leafs fan... now I understand what it means to be a leafs fan. Pain.
You guys need to change your intro sound bite into Sad Trombones.
It is important to keep sports as a hobby at best, and to not let it become an obsession. More importantly, if it is causing pain needlessly, it might be time to step back or step out entirely. I was obsessed with several Michigan teams, having grown up there, and their lack of success caused me stress and made me angry for no reason. It took some doing, but I’m down to two teams, the Lions and Lightning. I don’t get too upset when they lose, I’m happy when they win, but I don’t let it change my mood for days on end.
whoa this came out early.
"our goalie is outdueling Price" even though vast majority of goals on Price have been on deflections. That's roulette for any goalie.
I was screaming when i heard this😭😭😭 if Price was in the leafs side this series was a sweep Campbell is great but the Habs start scoring goals in game 5. Price is clearly the best goalie in this series
What do you expect from braindead maple laffs fans lol
@@marcbabineau6001 i know but this take is insane how they CANT see that Price is literally playing like 2014 Carey Price
@@dondi8832 The funniest part of this is they really are confident about this lmao
@@dondi8832 and the leafs are getting way better scoring chances
Steve, I really wish you would cover all the games your so hilarious and bang on! Sorry about the Leafs but glad I found you.
Go Habs! (had to say it)
2018 Game 2? I’d think you guys would remember, since you all flew down to Boston for it.
I cant sleep. It’s game 7 and im so scared but so hyped. Let’s do this thing Toronto!!!!
Same here bro. Same here
Im losing my mind
Don’t get your hopes up to high that way if they lose your not to disappoint I’ve learned over the years lol
Steve: I've never seen a politician so hated...
Kenney: hold my beer.
This is the biggest game of Matthews and Marners career to date. Let’s see if they show up
I’m a habs fan, but the look Steve’s face breaks my heart 😂
Adam.
NO apology needed.
WE ARE ALL MAD AS HELL AND TIRED OF BEING SO.
