hard to do much else or make an impact when you get 4 minutes a night against the other teams 4th line. Reaves has not be great sure, but he wasn't brought in here to score goals, he was brought in as muscle and intimidation - He is on a 4th line with guys who are also playing absolutely awful, maybe we could stop making it seem like Reaves is the entire problem.
I flew from Edmonton to Toronto Wednesday morning, Wednesday night I went to the bar to watch the Leafs game and could swear that from the terrible defensive plays and horrific goaltending I was actually watching an Oilers game
even the tampa game i dont kno how they came back lmao. They are playing awful. They keep up this 500 trend too much longer and its no playoffs for them and blow it up
With the bad goaltending it was very much like watching Oilers. You should stick around to see what happens with the Canucks. Klingberg is a bit like Nurse: lost in his own end.
@@jbear1364the chiarot-holl pairing, for all the roasting it takes, is quietly one of the better d-pairs in the league by quite a few metrics. crazy how holl can be effective when he’s not being forced to play a role he doesn’t fit
Klingberg was a -3 tonight. Not even his worst, which says a lot for his year. Reaves was a -1 despite playing the least amount of minutes of any Leaf this game. Seems Keefe only plays him early and if the Leafs have no hope of a comeback, the last minutes of the game. Says a lot for his impact. Woll's worst game for sure, yet was still better than Samanov in all but one of his games. Again says a lot. Getting close to start thinking about next year's offseason than this year's postseason.
right now the goalie stats are pretty skewed. sammy has obviously not been playing well, but i don't give a damn who is in net, you can't let your opponent just freely tick-tack-toe the puck around with all the time and space in the world without taking bodies. its basically a PP anytime anyone is in TOs end, its embarrassing and no goalie would stand a chance woll actually saved their bacon probably more times than not
“Thinking of next year’s postseason and not this year’s postseason” is a good one. Wait until Willy gets his ten and then we have Marner coming up. Could we be closing in on 4 players occupying 3/4 of the salary cap? Only consolation might be Tavares’s contract expiring… I typically ignore the Leafs until postseason (assuming they get there) As those are the games that matter.
To be fair, Leafs generated very little offence from the blueline last season. they were near the bottom of the league. Aside from Rielly, they have a bunch of guys on the blueline that don't really do anything particularly well.
Don't forget that Shanahan signed off on all of the Leafs trades , so what you see on the ice is because of him, including all those multi millionaires.
Defense wins championships, look at the 90's/00's Devils and the 2011 Bruins. They didn't have an offense like the Leafs. Hell in 2003 Patrick Elias led the entire Devils TEAM with 57 points and Auston Matthews had 60 goals in 2022. Get yourself a Scott Niedermayer, Zdeno Chara or even a Thomas Chabot. The Leafs haven't had a decent defenseman since Dion Phaneuf
@@scrambie he totally does, it's not like Willie is better at everything. Marner and Reilly also deserve their contract they are top players in the league... Coping
I really want to know what happened to Kampf. He spent a decade as a premeir defensive, bottom 6C, putting up 15-20pts. Suddenly, he forgot how to play defence?
he's probably trying to hard, and putting too much pressure on himself given how terrible everyone else is playing. fact is, he isn't a defensemen, and he can only aid the defensemen. if there are no defensemen, he can't do it all on his own.
Hands up those of you who are already looking forward to the Sunday edition after Vancouver rolls into town..... If trends continue, it's gonna be epic.

@@KyleMacSkill what I don't get is why Shanny is so anal about this core 4 thing. He's won 3 cups himself, he should know better than anyone this is NOT how you build a championship team. You need good-great D and goaltending
Glad you showed that picture of all five Leafs just standing around watching the Sens skate around and scoring that second goal. I was absolutely flabbergasted. There was a slow mo shot from behind the net and you can clearly see all five Leafs just standing around 20 feet from the net and they are just watching Woll. They just hung him out to dry. Do we need an actual glowing puck so the D can follow the action.
Good LFR- glad you pointed out the good stuff. The way the game fell apart was so brutal to watch- you are right on about Klingberg. He was hopeless tonight. What a bust.
I have 2 tickets for the Maple Leafs game in Sweden against Minessota on 19 November. Unfortunately it's not possible for us to go anymore. Please let me know if you're interested.
Let's not pretend like we didn't know what we were getting in Klingberg the moment we signed him. Good puck mover but amongst the worst in the nhl in his own end. For the money they signed him for if they wanted a puck mover who was irresponsible in there own end but a good puck mover, they should have resigned Erik Gustafsson and brought back Luke Schenn for rhe money we signed Klingberg for lol. Now we have our new scapegoat for the season to blame things on if this season ends up being bad. Basically the new Jake Gardiner, Tyson Barrie and Justin Holl
They traded for him in the Sandin deal. He had a really good showing in Washington and signed for 825 K with the Rangers. That's fine even if Keefe didn't want to play him because of his defensive flaws and saw him as 7th d, however based on how Klingberg plays and how things are unfolding for him now he is slowly turning into Gustafsson and im saying for 3 m less they could have brought back Schenn and kept a player similar like Klingberg in Gustafsson. So stupid it was the worst move of the offseason. Letting Acciari & Schenn go
Gio hasn't been bad, that's the funny part. When he's a erd pairing guy (as he should be at his age), he looks good enough to still be an NHLer. When he's being iced 20+ minutes, he looks gassed.
@@people3865 of course hes gassed at that time played, his pacemaker can't keep up but seriously, leafs are desperate and gio is decent, so they tend to rely on him too much, rendering him ineffective
@@people3865 Feel bad for Gio. The guy took the league minimum to play for his hometown team but has been stuck with the team punching bag as a partner for 2 seasons straight. First Holl, now Klingberg.
It's not just that the defense has been bad, but just how it's happening. Over the last few years our defensive corp has never been that good on paper (we had Justin Holl on our second pair for a good few years; pretty sure most Leafs fans would prefer that to Klingberg) but we nonetheless were a top 10 defensive team twice in recent years, in 2020-21 and last year (heck, we were tied for 5th in GA last year). And it's not like we had Vezina calibre goalies either. Last year, we even had a stretch where we were dealing with several injuries to the backline and still looked way better than we have at any point this season. There, we seemed to have an actual defensive system, we had forwards playing (relatively) responsibly in the defensive end. Now, I have seen so many instances where 3 guys go after 1 behind the net and we have no one covering the high slot. What happened?
Is it too early to think the Leafs could miss the playoffs? Looking at the Atlantic, then gandering at Metro.... It might be close this year if Leafs keep being mid.
I’m confused on the reaves pick up, he was toast as a ranger, hence why they traded him to the wild, why just months later did the leafs think it would be any different with them. His era is long over.
It was the 3 years more than anything.. add on to that a $1.35M when a ton of better players signed for $1M or less. Everybody was making fun of this contract the day we heard about it
It's the same thing with Klingberg. Steve liked his stats from last season, but no. He got RUN OUT of Anaheim. Of ANAHEIM. What is the reasoning there?
Hey Steve, did I hear you say, "See you in Swedan?" I'll be travelling from Ireland to watch the Leafs play the Wild. See you in Swedan!! Go Leafs Go!!.....
Steve most likely cannot do that because of legal complications. Those segments were when he was on the major network & the network most likely retains the rights to those types of videos.
The crazy part is I saw Leafs fans try to dunk on critics of the team after they came back and won against Tampa. Wonder how they're feeling right about now, assuming they're mature enough to admit they were wrong.
The forward core at least looks highly functional, but they need to limit Reaves to 5 minutes a night MAXIMUM. Just need a couple defensive upgrades, and to drop one specific Dman. Then the team is pretty solid.
As a sens fan, you yelling about line configurations at 2:20 is so funny/ironic because its was literally the exact same thing in Ottawa up until tonight 6:05 yep. thats the sens. that right there is the sens. im watching the sens play the sens. so many of our problems are similar its crazy lol yes. guy boucher is a plant. he will stab okeefe in the back and return to the promised land (kanata parking lot) wish us luck against vancouver tomorrow and see you in sweden lol
Hi Steve ! I’m back again after a one game absence ( 😡 ). So thoroughly enjoy LFR after the usual Leaf losses. I can see by your referencing #3 , you are not too thrilled by his performance so far. Klingberg is known as an offensive defenceman, so far he has not been that. But he has been offensive in how he plays, that’s for sure 🤣 Another great snot signing by Tree-Living 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bertuzzi has been one of the best leafs beside the core 4. He has an impressive style of play and is always strong on the puck and finishing checks. His puck lucks been zero but that will turn around as the season progresses. He should still be good for 15. The effort is always there just like Tavares. You know what your getting when they roll over the boards, 100% effort all the time.
That second goal. After Klingberg falls down, 4 leafs to the front of the crease just spinning around with their eyes closed and Marner just doing a slow lap around them. How is it possible to be an NHL defenseman and not even be able to skate backwards? "Puck moving defenseman" implies he can play defense. There are hundreds of forwards you could put in that slot that would be better defensively and get more points. And they would cost half the money.
Best tweet I saw during the entire game was "They're going to Sweden. They should drop Klingberg off at his parents' house."
That's a fucking hilarious tweet about Klingberg
And drop Willie at free agency 😂 classless fans
They are just in pre vacation mode. Like when you're just coasting at work before a trip..... 😂
I love it done with Klingberg worst sign
Awesome tweet, they should leave Klingberg there one way ticket
I respect that Woll took the accountability for the loss because he had a bad game. But in fairness to him, the defense also let him down.
the whole team didnt show up. no emotion or motivation at all.
Agreed! Saw majority of the 3rd period during lunch break at work. Toronto's D imploded leaving Woll out to dry. Woll will learn from it & get better
What defense?
6:13 looks pretty similar to the game the Leafs ruined his shutout vs the caps
4 goal wasn’t his fault 5 goals his fault
Here comes the views Steve!
I watch most of them but I guiltily will admit I enjoy the mad Steve more than glad Steve. But both are better than sad Steve.
@kenc8580 Same. I do donate to his Easter Seals team, so I'm not all bad, right?
Right? 😂
Makes more cash from a loss than a win. He's in a can't lose position. Lol😂

Claude Giroux at 35, about to be 36 is still that fricken dude. Most underappreciated player of the 2010s.
he was considered a superstar for many years he was not underappreciated. someone like pavelski is a much better pick for underrated in the 2010s
He is the man. Met he and Jake Voracek at the airport years ago and I could have bullshitted with those 2 jokers for hours. Great guys.
I wouldn't say that. He was well known
@@xnzedvcthis phenomenon is known as "The Flyer's Effect"
He has a very high hockey IQ and still has his hands.

I was at this game last night going off about Klingberg being a pylon. I legit had a guy in front of me say, "At least a pylon stands it's ground"
I think the classic Leafs teams who won the Stanley Cups had defensemen that Did Stand Their Ground‼️
Giroux gave his buds a pre face off pep talk and they proceeded to bury the leafs
Legitimately, G would be a fantastic coach when he decides to hang up the skates, which does not look to be any time soon. Dude's a fucking stud.
I remember when SDPN was saying getting rid of Justin Holl was going to improve the defense. Holl is +6 on the wings.
Those same Wings that, apparently, are supposed to finish 8th in the division.
Holly always had a good plus minus in Toronto. Plus minus can be deceptive
Holl was okay. Just not a top four defenseman. But Klingberg doesn't seem to be a top 16 defenseman.
@@jbear1364the chiarot-holl pairing, for all the roasting it takes, is quietly one of the better d-pairs in the league by quite a few metrics. crazy how holl can be effective when he’s not being forced to play a role he doesn’t fit

Shoutout to Tim Stützle for the 4 point night btw
He’s really maturing as a player. He’s not trying to do it all himself. Three assists before that tap-in from Joseph.
Watching Klingberg on the Ducks last year was hard to watch as a Ducks fan. Amazed that Toronto thought he would be an improvement to their team.
To be fair....he was lol
Glad Korpisalo is finding success with Ottawa. Really hope he helps pull that team into the playoffs. He deserves it.
As a Jackets fan .. same
3 wins, 4 losses, 3.38 GAA, .902 save percentage? It's still early but not sure I'd call that finding success. Not all his fault but...oof.
@@KingstonMan the team is 5-6 with terrible defense. Those numbers are fine when you realize the team isn’t good.

When woll gave the puck away behind the net. I guarantee he heard steves famous saying in his mind, "if you're a goaltender!!"

1:52 - Nylander scored 40 goals and 98 points in the season, good call from back in November.
That third “really 😳” gave him 2013 Boston flashbacks
Glad you showed that picture of all five Leafs just standing around watching the Sens skate around and scoring that second goal. I was absolutely flabbergasted. There was a slow mo shot from behind the net and you can clearly see all five Leafs just standing around 20 feet from the net and they are just watching Woll. They just hung him out to dry. Do we need an actual glowing puck so the D can follow the action.
Good LFR- glad you pointed out the good stuff.
The way the game fell apart was so brutal to watch- you are right on about Klingberg. He was hopeless tonight.
What a bust.
3:58 Ahh yeah, there it is. Nice for it NOT to be about Markstrom for a change!
WHY IS BEING A FAN OF THIS TEAM SO SADDDENINGGG
I have 2 tickets for the Maple Leafs game in Sweden against Minessota on 19 November. Unfortunately it's not possible for us to go anymore. Please let me know if you're interested.
Donations are in. Glad to support a good cause. Fingers crossed 🤞
It's always the defense. The tree imitation had me rolling on the floor...lol
Let's not pretend like we didn't know what we were getting in Klingberg the moment we signed him. Good puck mover but amongst the worst in the nhl in his own end. For the money they signed him for if they wanted a puck mover who was irresponsible in there own end but a good puck mover, they should have resigned Erik Gustafsson and brought back Luke Schenn for rhe money we signed Klingberg for lol. Now we have our new scapegoat for the season to blame things on if this season ends up being bad. Basically the new Jake Gardiner, Tyson Barrie and Justin Holl
But Keefe wouldn't play Gustafsson last year. He had to go elsewhere to actually play.
They traded for him in the Sandin deal. He had a really good showing in Washington and signed for 825 K with the Rangers. That's fine even if Keefe didn't want to play him because of his defensive flaws and saw him as 7th d, however based on how Klingberg plays and how things are unfolding for him now he is slowly turning into Gustafsson and im saying for 3 m less they could have brought back Schenn and kept a player similar like Klingberg in Gustafsson. So stupid it was the worst move of the offseason. Letting Acciari & Schenn go
What was hilarious is that a Sabres chat tonight was about just how bad Klingberg and Giordano are since they became Leafs...
To be fair, Klingberg has been bad for a while now and Giordano is like 140 years old. Leafs asking both to do way more than they're capable of.
Gio hasn't been bad, that's the funny part. When he's a erd pairing guy (as he should be at his age), he looks good enough to still be an NHLer. When he's being iced 20+ minutes, he looks gassed.
Klinberg has been bad for 3 years now
@@people3865 of course hes gassed at that time played, his pacemaker can't keep up
but seriously, leafs are desperate and gio is decent, so they tend to rely on him too much, rendering him ineffective
@@people3865 Feel bad for Gio. The guy took the league minimum to play for his hometown team but has been stuck with the team punching bag as a partner for 2 seasons straight. First Holl, now Klingberg.
I keep repeating this 1 statement "the Vancouver Canucks are the best NHL team in Canada" period. Crazy but TRUE statement.
You the best my guy
the one time the leafs actually have some promising goaltending, everything else falls apart.
I remember like five years back Klingberg was leading scorer on NHL in the beginning of the season.
I miss “IF YOU’RE A GOALTENDER, TEND THE GOAL!” 😫😫😫 Please bring back Steve’s Dang-It’s🙏🙏🙏🙏
Steve what about the legend Jeff Finger its really close leafs are in for a wild season thou that looked really rough last night!
It's not just that the defense has been bad, but just how it's happening. Over the last few years our defensive corp has never been that good on paper (we had Justin Holl on our second pair for a good few years; pretty sure most Leafs fans would prefer that to Klingberg) but we nonetheless were a top 10 defensive team twice in recent years, in 2020-21 and last year (heck, we were tied for 5th in GA last year). And it's not like we had Vezina calibre goalies either. Last year, we even had a stretch where we were dealing with several injuries to the backline and still looked way better than we have at any point this season. There, we seemed to have an actual defensive system, we had forwards playing (relatively) responsibly in the defensive end. Now, I have seen so many instances where 3 guys go after 1 behind the net and we have no one covering the high slot. What happened?
Is it too early to think the Leafs could miss the playoffs? Looking at the Atlantic, then gandering at Metro.... It might be close this year if Leafs keep being mid.
I’m confused on the reaves pick up, he was toast as a ranger, hence why they traded him to the wild, why just months later did the leafs think it would be any different with them. His era is long over.
It was the 3 years more than anything.. add on to that a $1.35M when a ton of better players signed for $1M or less. Everybody was making fun of this contract the day we heard about it
It's the same thing with Klingberg. Steve liked his stats from last season, but no. He got RUN OUT of Anaheim. Of ANAHEIM. What is the reasoning there?
Thanks Steve!😊
Hey Steve, did I hear you say, "See you in Swedan?"
I'll be travelling from Ireland to watch the Leafs play the Wild. See you in Swedan!!
Go Leafs Go!!.....
Can someone educate me on why there’s no Steve’s dang it’s, I miss it
Steve most likely cannot do that because of legal complications. Those segments were when he was on the major network & the network most likely retains the rights to those types of videos.
Another “great” evening!
Laffs get roughed up by Buffalo!
Loving it !
Steve Dangle got on the rant! 9:56
Didn’t see it until after 7 but screw it, it’s for Steve and Rachel’s Raiders. Hope it helps!!!!
The most leafs channel possible omfg
The crazy part is I saw Leafs fans try to dunk on critics of the team after they came back and won against Tampa. Wonder how they're feeling right about now, assuming they're mature enough to admit they were wrong.
The less Canadian teams in the playoffs the happier Gary is.
I liked Klingberg when he was on the Stars, but as a Stars fan boy am I glad he's the Maple Leafs' problem now.
With how well Suter is playing this year, Nill looks like a prophetic genius letting Klinger walk.
So glad my Rangers signed Gustavson he is giving us crazy value at 850,000
The forward core at least looks highly functional, but they need to limit Reaves to 5 minutes a night MAXIMUM.
Just need a couple defensive upgrades, and to drop one specific Dman. Then the team is pretty solid.
when are they going to rip the c off of tavares's jersey? when are they going to ax the coach? and when is this 5 1/2 decade nightmare end?
As a non-Leaf fan on the outside looking in, how and why does Keefe still have a job? Please explain.
As a sens fan, you yelling about line configurations at 2:20 is so funny/ironic because its was literally the exact same thing in Ottawa up until tonight
6:05 yep. thats the sens. that right there is the sens. im watching the sens play the sens. so many of our problems are similar its crazy lol
yes. guy boucher is a plant. he will stab okeefe in the back and return to the promised land (kanata parking lot)
wish us luck against vancouver tomorrow and see you in sweden lol
Hi Steve ! I’m back again after a one game absence ( 😡 ). So thoroughly enjoy LFR after the usual Leaf losses. I can see by your referencing #3 , you are not too thrilled by his performance so far. Klingberg is known as an offensive defenceman, so far he has not been that. But he has been offensive in how he plays, that’s for sure 🤣 Another great snot signing by Tree-Living 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bertuzzi has been one of the best leafs beside the core 4. He has an impressive style of play and is always strong on the puck and finishing checks. His puck lucks been zero but that will turn around as the season progresses. He should still be good for 15. The effort is always there just like Tavares. You know what your getting when they roll over the boards, 100% effort all the time.
That second goal. After Klingberg falls down, 4 leafs to the front of the crease just spinning around with their eyes closed and Marner just doing a slow lap around them. How is it possible to be an NHL defenseman and not even be able to skate backwards? "Puck moving defenseman" implies he can play defense. There are hundreds of forwards you could put in that slot that would be better defensively and get more points. And they would cost half the money.
The big bad Ottawa Senators’ Timmy Stütz with 4 points. (He took less)
Why is Woll stats drastically different between playing at home and away?
