There is something that is lost in this. Carolina did not get respect. The play of everyone in front of the zamboni driver won this game. No Leaf could move, pass or shoot the puck. It was perfect reaction from a team that had to face this situation. It was the Leafs from the last game. I would love to have heard the Carolina coach in the second intermission. Carolina stood up.
It was equal parts great defensive play from the Canes, and equal parts the Leafs tripping over their own two feet the entire freakin' game (in Marner's case, literally).
Update: If they play like they did in front of Ayres, like they did against the Rangers, the Canes are going to be a real serious threat to win the Cup. And if they do... *Give Ayres a ring.*
The Leafs have no respect for their goalies. It's not surprising that they leave them out to dry. Even the fans always blame the goalies when they lose. It's awful to see.
Somethings wrong with it though. I looked up the Pickering Panthers all time roster and anyone named Dave or David, none of them were born in the early 80s.
Watching this after they blew it against the Canadiens in the playoffs and the dialogue is IDENTICAL. The narrative hadn't changed a bit about this core.
Many non-Leafs fans warned Leafs fans about the core being too soft in the playoffs. It became very blatant against the Canadiens. And then the Leafs fans make excuses AGAIN and still trash the Habs about their run. I'm still angry at Greg Wyshynski for writing that BS article about how the Canadiens were gifted a sweep when Evans got injured. Absolutely disgusting behavior.
27:00 Disregarding the playoff format... Toronto placed 3rd in the Atlantic, 6th in the Metro was Columbus - tied with 81 points, but the Leafs ended up with more wins.... but we all know how that head-to-head worked out. Good call.
Watching this episode nearly 2 years later and hearing them talk about how they shouldn't make the playoffs and then knowing they get embarrassed by PLD just makes me feel worse for these guys but makes me laugh even harder at the Leafs
11:24 When thinking of embarrassing regular season losses, the only other one in the same league as the David Ayres game that comes to mind is Detroit beating Montreal 11-1 in Patrick Roy's last game for the Habs
I like what Adam said. So many of us as children who grew up watching the Leafs would have *died* to play for this team to win the championship. So many of us, who just do not have the talent of these players, dreamed of it. I know for a fact Steve, just like myself, would DREAM of lifting that Stanley Cup at centre ice in Maple Leaf Gardens and listen to that crowd, how proud they would be that we finally brought it back. The players during the pandemic break really need to look at themselves in the mirror and ask "am I just in this for the money? Or do I want to actually win?"
(0:29) I'll be editing this comment, as the pod goes along. But I'm not even thirty seconds in, and the look on Steve's face has me 💀 (43:10) Adam is bang-on, here. That was a major red-flag moment for me, as a fan of Matthews, Dubas, and the team. And then Steve sums it up by pointing out they wouldn't have done this to Lou (48:14) I disagree with Adam's take, here. Two areas where Dubas definitely fumbled, were: 1) not addressing the need for a stay-at-home defenceman, who ideally had a right-hand shot. Barrie was not it (even though I assumed like every other Leafs fan, that he'd improve what we had) 2) Taking way too long to address the back-up situation (both with Sparks, and Hutchinson). Dishonourable mentions could also include the high-level contracts; also, and I might be one of the few who lament the loss of this player, but what Hainsey brought to the back end, and the room, was not filled. I will never understand acquiring Ceci, while letting Hainsey go. Hainsey as a bottom pair D, would've been great. (49:34) Also--I don't think enough has been made about the roster turnover, in the summer. I think that directly relates to Steve's point. That's on the mgmt. Talent and skill matter the most, but 'character' is something that all winning teams have. It hasn't been there, this year, for this team. (57:45) As a big fan of Kasperi, what are you hearing, Steve? You can't just drop a nugget like that, and not elaborate. I would be sad if they traded him (but recognize his potential value as an asset) Are there in-room issues? Thanks for doing this, fellers...been waiting all day, for it
Completely agree about the 43:10 point. I think Dubas and the organization will never forget what Matthews did after how they gave him exactly what he wanted. I think that makes him the most expendable, plus you get the most back for him and clear the most cap space.
APisceanSlant Also from an outsider perspective (Hawks fan) the guy you wanna get rid of is Mitch. I think that his management team is toxic and I think that spreads through the locker room. Some examples are dissing the Matthews contract as soon as it was signed on the radio, the whole negotiation throughout the summer, and just his attitude. To win in this league you need 2 stars and a great supporting cast. Hawks have Kane and Toews, Pens have Crosby and Geno, Caps have Ovi and Backstrome, and the Kings have Doughty and Kopitar. I think Willy can fall into that Top6 supporting role nicely, be like a Hossa or Sharp. If you trade Mitch you can add 2 5 million dollar players. Sorry if this is a bit hard to follow it’s very late and I’m tired but I’m just trying to give my opinion.
Watching this 3 years later for the LOLs. Some interesting things here though. Steve inadvertently predicted Zach Aston-Reese to Leafs three years early. Also, when talking about Jett Woo, the question was asked "Who names their kid Jett"? We have had two goalies play in NHL this year named Jet.
I think this has been the most brutal season of the decade for Toronto, no other season could top this one in this regard. That loss against Carolina was the cherry on top.
Food for thought. The Leafs have a grand total of three players on their roster 30 years of age or older: Spezza, Muzzin, and Andersen. Between the three of them, they have an average of 62 games of Playoff experience, that's a minimum of two good Cup runs worth of games. That's great. But excepting those three guys and like, Tavares and Barrie, you're talking a group of 22 to 25 year olds still. Hyman is 27 and feels like an elder statesman on this team. They're inconsistent because they're immature, and Patrick Marleau was such an influence on this team, way more than he's given credit for. This team needs grown men as much as anything else.
Coming from a Stars fan who has to put up with them losing to St. Louis and Detroit in the playoffs annually and them not being able to score (but still supporting them) this game just about made my day and season. Go Stars!!!
I saw that tweet about Nylander being the only one (besides Mikheyev) practicing today and instantly thought about how Jesse was going to spin it into a crown, lol
also christ I feel sorta bad for Dubas because he made a roster that looks great on paper and is just absolute shit in practice. and so many of the leafs don't care!!!! marner talks about how dogshit he was and then doesn't put in the extra practice
First time watching your podcast, here because of epic LFR yesterday, watched LFR twice, almost crying laughing and had to find podcast because of Dangles excellent Reaction
"Find me a more embarrassing loss in NHL history." I propose the Minnesota North Stars losing 8-0 at home in the deciding game of the 1990-1991 Stanley Cup Finals to Mario Lemieux's Pittsburgh Penguins.
No, the North Stars were in the Finals against a damn good team. How do you lose TO A ZAMBONI DRIVER?? This year's Blackhawks are terrible but they haven't lost to David Ayers
Best Leafs game I have seen since I moved to Toronto from Montreal. It proves that on any given night, any player can have the game of his life - that’s the beauty of sports. Congratulations to Dave Ayres for playing his heart out for the pure love of the game. Leafs should never have traded Frank Mahovlich.
He stopped 8 out of 10 shots on goal - not bad for an emergency substitute goalie with no NHL experience. Can you imagine how much concentration that takes in a real game situation?
Marner priced himself out of The Leafs long term picture with a contract negotiation that wreaked of entitlement, fully on board with trading his ass out of here.
If I may offer my own thoughts on the cancellation of the practice Sunday. Everything that happened from Saturday to today, I’m reminded of a similar situation with Edmonton. It was either the 08/09 season or the 09/10 season, but there was a game IN Edmonton where the Oilers played the Buffalo Sabres. They (Edmonton) got SMOKED 10-2. Everyone in that organization was let off the hook for that performance, thus resulting in 0 accountability. What happened? Loser mentality gets let in, nobody is held accountable and the Oilers stink for another 5-6 years. Fast forward to the 16-17 season. 3rd game of the season, IN Edmonton, and Edmonton loses 6-2 to the Sabres. On top of that, the day AFTER the game was one of Edmonton’s CBA mandated days off. Further on top of the that, the day AFTER the day off, the Oilers have a date with the Hurricanes. After the loss to Buffalo, Todd McLellan RIPPED the team in the media availability. Just ripped the team and the players. Call out the performance and stressed the need for them to re-establish a work ethic. So what happened after that? The Oilers practiced ON THEIR MANDATED DAY OFF (something they were later investigated for) and as a result, they won 5 of their final 6 games in October. The fact that Keefe cancelled the practice and Dubas was fine with it, should send up red flags throughout Leafs Nation. And if I was the GM, I could care less if the trade deadline is the next day. Bag skate these entitled kids who think that giving sad sack excuses like “I lacked the will-power” is somehow holding yourself accountable.
The difference between the raptors and leafs is where the players come from. Siakam, Lowry and van vleet were all later round guys or undrafted. They had to work so hard to become the stars they are and it shows with their work ethic. But with the leafs Tavares Matthews and Marner were told from the age of 10 that they can do no wrong and destine for greatness. They never had to work as hard as the raptors stars to get where they are.
Adam - really glad to see you back , the show missed you & i now realize why you butt in etc , because you sometimes bloody need too lol . I am actually ashamed that i have been critical of your personality & presence on set previously but i was uncategorically wrong . Every boat needs a skipper & you captain this ship with class . Hope you had a good holiday , best wishes from UK TO ALL 3 of you , keep up the good work & thank you
12:15 For what it's worth, Detroit isn't just "Hockeytown", it's "Hockeytown, *U.S.A.*". We know we're not more historically successful than the Leafs or Habs, but we are the most successful American franchise. Just a little food for thought, it always erks me when you guys try to dunk on the Wings for that.
the leafs r built terribly and nothing will change even if they lose this year. Regular season success doesn’t matter and they aren’t even as good as tampa or florida
I give this coach and management until the end of next season. If they have not addressed perceived issues (the blueline) and changed the mentality of this group, I will 100% believe it cannot be done with this group. This season, I don't care how it goes. Scrape in, miss out, does not matter. This season is lost. Start today with moves to get better and actually start getting better so next season is actually that next step and not whatever this season has been.
"It's the guys who score that matter." Oh man, you're totally right. Hey y'know who sucks and always has because he doesn't score a lot of goals? Joe Thornton. 🙄🤣
Take a look at the laugh starting at 1:07:23, the most fake laugh I have ever seen in my life. Listen to him start, and then watch when the laugh ends, it is ridiculous. Nothing like going from busting a gut to not even smiling in 1/4 of a second.
I'll say it again this episode should have been called "A Comedy of Ayres".
Streetkillz13 comment of the week
Or “ayre it all out”
@@ronhainsey6731 I love that one too!
"Comedy"
Well done.
The fact that Ayers got a win in Kashmir’s pads, that Kashmir didn’t even get a win in for the Leafs
Congrats, LFR number 1 on trending
Wow you're right...the highlights are in 2nd place too...
You know its bad when ADAM goes full Steve
ClaymanV oh man I need a time stamp I can’t watch it all
@@Adam-lf6nh around 36:00
"You should never go full Steve."
Just saw that Steve's LFR is actually #1 on trending right now! Congrats Steve!
The Bunch of Jerks shirts seem especially appropriate in this context 😂
Literally been refreshing for the last 20 minutes waiting to see this podcast
Who else has been waiting for this since the LFR
Guilty

THIS
IS
THE
MOST
ANTICIPATED
PODCAST
EVER
T I T M A P E
Ironically its not Leafs success that brings us all to watch, it's the colossal failure of this team's season that has created the buzz.
well now we have a new most anticipated podcast
Ayers definitely deserves the crown but I want to shoutout to Mrs Dangle for being able to support our good friend Steve 🙏🏾😆
There is something that is lost in this. Carolina did not get respect. The play of everyone in front of the zamboni driver won this game. No Leaf could move, pass or shoot the puck. It was perfect reaction from a team that had to face this situation. It was the Leafs from the last game. I would love to have heard the Carolina coach in the second intermission. Carolina stood up.
Very very true. They played incredibly well in front of him, and that deserves a spotlight too.
It was equal parts great defensive play from the Canes, and equal parts the Leafs tripping over their own two feet the entire freakin' game (in Marner's case, literally).
Update: If they play like they did in front of Ayres, like they did against the Rangers, the Canes are going to be a real serious threat to win the Cup. And if they do... *Give Ayres a ring.*
after watching the way the canes played defense for Ayres makes me really mad at the leafs for the way they left Kaskisuo out to dry in his debut
The Leafs have no respect for their goalies. It's not surprising that they leave them out to dry. Even the fans always blame the goalies when they lose. It's awful to see.
I've been dying waiting for this. Bless you three.
Please invite Urinatingtree on the podcast, i want to see how that would go
The Toronto Maple Leafs aren't a team, they're a roster
No they're a joke...and not a good one
It's sad how accurate this comment is... I'm not even a leafs fan lol
Buncha comedians
that's not funny.
yes. dubas is playing Be a GM mode.
Steve's "why not?" at 4:19 lol
The Steve story about his cousin sends me every single time I watch this video. Every single time
Somethings wrong with it though. I looked up the Pickering Panthers all time roster and anyone named Dave or David, none of them were born in the early 80s.
I've watched the LFR twice, I found Steve's rage really helpful for my own mental health.
Watching this after they blew it against the Canadiens in the playoffs and the dialogue is IDENTICAL. The narrative hadn't changed a bit about this core.

8:00 steve goes FULL NUCLEAR to 8:05 totally chill. hardest 180 in podcast history. lol
15:20 that air bud comparison is amazing.
"You know what, I will put it off" - Best quote of the year.
It's so funny when a old episode starts playing after something else. You guys have come a long way and keep getting better and better.
This man finds ANY reason to give Willy the crown I couldn’t wait to see how he’d give it to him this week, and sure enough he got it 🤣
B Wick you know it’s a bit right?
Greg Scholfield haha yes, I was just trying to see how he’d spin it today
No better reason then the only player to show up to practice tho
@@dre145 Hard agree
To be fair, being the only guy to practice is a valid reason
Oh man. That "Why not" from Steve at 4:22 hit me like when Gohan clocked Cell.
27:00 Disregarding the playoff format... Toronto placed 3rd in the Atlantic, 6th in the Metro was Columbus - tied with 81 points, but the Leafs ended up with more wins.... but we all know how that head-to-head worked out. Good call.
Watching this episode nearly 2 years later and hearing them talk about how they shouldn't make the playoffs and then knowing they get embarrassed by PLD just makes me feel worse for these guys but makes me laugh even harder at the Leafs
ontop of loss to Blue jackets and 3-1 montreal. So Keefe was there for all this yet leafs still think they’ll win😭😭
The amount of time travis dermott was on the ice with his dog was the same amount of time travis dermott fell in that game
This is one of those episodes that's worth listening to a couple times
Not only do i love fired up Steve but... FIRED UP ADAMMM. STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINSSSSS 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Happy 2 year anniversary. This will always be a top 5 hilarious moment in hockey.
When O'Keefe said they needed to be embarrassed, this is what he was talking about.
i don't think it'll even fix it lol. it wont light a fire under their asses. they'll slump their shoulders even further. this'll make them worse.
11:24 When thinking of embarrassing regular season losses, the only other one in the same league as the David Ayres game that comes to mind is Detroit beating Montreal 11-1 in Patrick Roy's last game for the Habs
This is one of my favorite episodes of all time. Good work leafs.
I love rewatching this in December 2020
Happy 2nd anniversary to the podcast that introduced it all to me.
Never been THIS excited with anticipation for no sleep Steve Dangle Pod.
Steve is poddin'!
Adam at 24:53 - 26:44 fucking nailed it. That's where the resentment towards this team stems from as a fan.
The irony of David Ayres having a higher save percentage than Calvin Pickard should not be lost on anyone.
I’ve been soooooo excited for this ALL DAMN DAY!
"This is the story for the rest of the season"
Boy, that sentence did not age well
He wasn’t wrong when he said “after this they’ll beat tampa and then what?”
I like what Adam said. So many of us as children who grew up watching the Leafs would have *died* to play for this team to win the championship. So many of us, who just do not have the talent of these players, dreamed of it. I know for a fact Steve, just like myself, would DREAM of lifting that Stanley Cup at centre ice in Maple Leaf Gardens and listen to that crowd, how proud they would be that we finally brought it back. The players during the pandemic break really need to look at themselves in the mirror and ask "am I just in this for the money? Or do I want to actually win?"
This is the first SDP I’ve ever listened to. I’m not used to hearing Steve sweat and I can’t stop laughing
(0:29) I'll be editing this comment, as the pod goes along. But I'm not even thirty seconds in, and the look on Steve's face has me 💀
(43:10) Adam is bang-on, here. That was a major red-flag moment for me, as a fan of Matthews, Dubas, and the team. And then Steve sums it up by pointing out they wouldn't have done this to Lou

I will never understand acquiring Ceci, while letting Hainsey go. Hainsey as a bottom pair D, would've been great.
(49:34) Also--I don't think enough has been made about the roster turnover, in the summer. I think that directly relates to Steve's point. That's on the mgmt. Talent and skill matter the most, but 'character' is something that all winning teams have. It hasn't been there, this year, for this team.
(57:45) As a big fan of Kasperi, what are you hearing, Steve? You can't just drop a nugget like that, and not elaborate. I would be sad if they traded him (but recognize his potential value as an asset) Are there in-room issues?
Thanks for doing this, fellers...been waiting all day, for it
Completely agree about the 43:10 point. I think Dubas and the organization will never forget what Matthews did after how they gave him exactly what he wanted. I think that makes him the most expendable, plus you get the most back for him and clear the most cap space.
Ceci was supposed to be the stay at home Dman. Jk
APisceanSlant Also from an outsider perspective (Hawks fan) the guy you wanna get rid of is Mitch. I think that his management team is toxic and I think that spreads through the locker room. Some examples are dissing the Matthews contract as soon as it was signed on the radio, the whole negotiation throughout the summer, and just his attitude. To win in this league you need 2 stars and a great supporting cast. Hawks have Kane and Toews, Pens have Crosby and Geno, Caps have Ovi and Backstrome, and the Kings have Doughty and Kopitar.

Sorry if this is a bit hard to follow it’s very late and I’m tired but I’m just trying to give my opinion.
I’ve never in my life wanted to jump ship, but right now I really want too
been waiting for this all day, lets gooo!
Watching this 3 years later for the LOLs. Some interesting things here though. Steve inadvertently predicted Zach Aston-Reese to Leafs three years early. Also, when talking about Jett Woo, the question was asked "Who names their kid Jett"? We have had two goalies play in NHL this year named Jet.
I think this has been the most brutal season of the decade for Toronto, no other season could top this one in this regard. That loss against Carolina was the cherry on top.
Even the 2019-2020 Habs found some success by knocking out the Pens in the play-in round!
This was great therapy. Thanks guys, I feel better now.
Coming back to this, funny how, even as a hurricane, Marzek kept leaving the blue paint in net 😆
Oh my god I almost peed when Adam said "I'm going to get fucking raped for this." I laughed so hard.
I don't know why but this is still one of the best podcasts episodes I have watched.
Probably the most highly anticipated podcast of all time. LETS GO
Food for thought. The Leafs have a grand total of three players on their roster 30 years of age or older: Spezza, Muzzin, and Andersen. Between the three of them, they have an average of 62 games of Playoff experience, that's a minimum of two good Cup runs worth of games. That's great. But excepting those three guys and like, Tavares and Barrie, you're talking a group of 22 to 25 year olds still. Hyman is 27 and feels like an elder statesman on this team. They're inconsistent because they're immature, and Patrick Marleau was such an influence on this team, way more than he's given credit for.
This team needs grown men as much as anything else.
I always come back to this. Classic episode.
How do the Leafs win a game from here on out when the note on the opposing teams board is "Don't lose to a team that lost to a zamboni driver"
That’s a great quote, “not even the 2019-2020 Detroit Red Wings lost to a Zamboni driver” wow, that hit hard
Coming from a Stars fan who has to put up with them losing to St. Louis and Detroit in the playoffs annually and them not being able to score (but still supporting them) this game just about made my day and season. Go Stars!!!
Carolina proceeds to win the Stanley Cup and only cup ring in toronto is held by their zamboni driver.
"Let's stop putting value on things trending. It's easy to get things trending"
I saw that tweet about Nylander being the only one (besides Mikheyev) practicing today and instantly thought about how Jesse was going to spin it into a crown, lol
also christ I feel sorta bad for Dubas because he made a roster that looks great on paper and is just absolute shit in practice. and so many of the leafs don't care!!!! marner talks about how dogshit he was and then doesn't put in the extra practice
I know it isn't the Leaf's but Yzerman said "the 2 things he looks for is hockey sense and COMPETE!!!!"
How about Lundqvist to Carolina? To back up David Ayres😁
Man i love this episode. I was watching the game and was anticipating this so much.
Love coming back here every Lafs collapse
Up next : the Sabres make the playoffs and sweep the Leafs in the first round XDDDD
After the 3-1 collapse against MTL. This has aged like a fine wine.
Fuck you convinced me, trade Marner
First time watching your podcast, here because of epic LFR yesterday, watched LFR twice, almost crying laughing and had to find podcast because of Dangles excellent Reaction
I think TB should not even start a goalie against Leafs to make it fair .
"Find me a more embarrassing loss in NHL history." I propose the Minnesota North Stars losing 8-0 at home in the deciding game of the 1990-1991 Stanley Cup Finals to Mario Lemieux's Pittsburgh Penguins.
Na, Mario was just that good.
No, the North Stars were in the Finals against a damn good team. How do you lose TO A ZAMBONI DRIVER?? This year's Blackhawks are terrible but they haven't lost to David Ayers
The best part of this whole "losing to a Zamboni driver" thing is the fact that said Zamboni driver grew up a Boston Bruins fan. :D
I’m 3 minutes in and this is already the best podcast yet 😂
#1 on trending for Steve's LFR
Best Leafs game I have seen since I moved to Toronto from Montreal.
It proves that on any given night, any player can have the game of his life - that’s the beauty of sports.
Congratulations to Dave Ayres for playing his heart out for the pure love of the game.
Leafs should never have traded Frank Mahovlich.
He stopped 8 out of 10 shots on goal - not bad for an emergency substitute goalie with no NHL experience.
Can you imagine how much concentration that takes in a real game situation?
Marner priced himself out of The Leafs long term picture with a contract negotiation that wreaked of entitlement, fully on board with trading his ass out of here.
Okay so this just popped up cos of my you tube algorithm thing. Man watching this back after ANOTHER first round loss is insane!
Most anticipated epi of the year

Bag skate these entitled kids who think that giving sad sack excuses like “I lacked the will-power” is somehow holding yourself accountable.
Oh boy it’s gonna be a good one
What would the story line have been If a leafs employee had blown a lead and the leafs win?
Man Adam was on fire this episode!
A time capsule like no other.
"You can't do nothing"
Ooooh Steve you underestimate this team
The difference between the raptors and leafs is where the players come from. Siakam, Lowry and van vleet were all later round guys or undrafted. They had to work so hard to become the stars they are and it shows with their work ethic. But with the leafs Tavares Matthews and Marner were told from the age of 10 that they can do no wrong and destine for greatness. They never had to work as hard as the raptors stars to get where they are.
finally!
I am expecting passion on this one.
Adam - really glad to see you back , the show missed you & i now realize why you butt in etc , because you sometimes bloody need too lol . I am actually ashamed that i have been critical of your personality & presence on set previously but i was uncategorically wrong .
Every boat needs a skipper & you captain this ship with class . Hope you had a good holiday , best wishes from UK TO ALL 3 of you , keep up the good work & thank you
It’s now August 2022. This podcast is still aging beautifully.
12:15 For what it's worth, Detroit isn't just "Hockeytown", it's "Hockeytown, *U.S.A.*". We know we're not more historically successful than the Leafs or Habs, but we are the most successful American franchise. Just a little food for thought, it always erks me when you guys try to dunk on the Wings for that.
Ngl this episode specifically is better than asmr for sleep 😂
37:55 notice how he can't name a good hockey team like that. Cup winning teams have depth and defense.
Notification squad show yourselves
You can play the last 2/3 of this podcast and could barely tell it apart from game 7 last year
the leafs r built terribly and nothing will change even if they lose this year. Regular season success doesn’t matter and they aren’t even as good as tampa or florida
I give this coach and management until the end of next season. If they have not addressed perceived issues (the blueline) and changed the mentality of this group, I will 100% believe it cannot be done with this group. This season, I don't care how it goes. Scrape in, miss out, does not matter. This season is lost. Start today with moves to get better and actually start getting better so next season is actually that next step and not whatever this season has been.
In the past 3 years EDMONTON OILERS HAVE WON MORE PLAYOFF ROUNDS THAN THE MAPLE LEAFS LOL
i am so happy this is up
"It's the guys who score that matter."
Oh man, you're totally right. Hey y'know who sucks and always has because he doesn't score a lot of goals? Joe Thornton. 🙄🤣
BridgewatersFinest I mean he kinda never won shit
Ramp Rat kinda isn’t his fault tho
December 2022 and much of the talk in this podcast still holds true for this team. We'll see if it holds true after the 1st round.
you know it's a good one when there's only 3 topics listed in the description...
You nailed it Adam. I hate it but you nailed it. A Mitch Marner trade drives the message through the heart of this team.
