I honestly don't know how a franchise recovers from this. I've seen it too often with NFL franchises after brutal losses. And for the Leafs, this series makes 2019 look like a minor inconvenience.
How did Tampa recover from getting swept by Columbus? That's the only glimmer of hope I have left. But it's the Leafs so they'll probably fuck the dog instead
Ya it pains me to see this, for their fans. You look at this team on paper they are a power house, they went all In with 4 lines of amazing players, a combo of youth and veterans, but nothing seems to work. Brutal, just brutal..
The last playoff series win was in 2004. Its 17 years old now, almost an adult. The Pittsburgh Pirates haven’t won a playoff series in 42 years. It’s old enough to be the Maple Leafs playoff series win droughts dad.
@Spicy Meatball No. He played four MVP caliber years there, during which time the Pirates won 88, 94, and 98 games (missed the playoffs in the first season). They just choked in the playoffs, and played in the best division in baseball. They were a 98 win wildcard (good enough to win any other division that year), and lost in the one game playoff to the NL Cy Young with a sub 1.8 ERA, who had a 1.2 ERA in the second half of the season.
@@mikem44 you know what sucks, many of us leafs fans are also bills fans so we get double the disappointment. Luckily the bills are looking good and hopefully they can pull it off soon. Leafs need to sort some things out first.
a lot of no shows yet again. Spezza & Nylander wer the only two forwards that showed up. Like Marner keeps saying we have to show up on time , but he thought the game was on Tuesday.Another woe is me from Marner & Matthews. Coaching was not great either. How can you put only one shooter on PP. Nylander Spezza Matthews would be three shooters. But no just matthews with 4 passers all trying to pass the puck into the net & everyone in the world knew it except the coaching staff....Marner Matthews was not working, did he put Nylander with Matthews try to change it up, get Matthews away from Dounut? They have to dump Marner some how. Pretty sure he is the poison in the well.
@@allanmmclean I know matthews and marner were amazing in the regualr season but it's clear matthews and marner aren't working in the playoffs. If they keep marner (because lets be honest, they're going to keep him) I would like to see nylander play with matthews and marner play with tavares. It just makes more sense to me, two shooters on the matthews line and we know they can play well together and marner and tavares played well with babs as well. Spezza, no matter how old he is, I want to be resigned because he showed up. They need to improve the defense a bit more as well. An interesting offseason indeed.
IKR 😅 I saw 31mins, oh no Steve needs support.. 3:14 If you're a fan from another fanbase, *YOU'RE A SICKO!! WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE, PUTTING ME THROUGH THIS!!* Me a MTL fan: _quite ahem_ *"😅 Is this a bad time?😅"*
I've been saying this for a while....the Leafs won't make it anywhere until they get a Vezina winning/contending goalie. Think of the production line of bums they've had in the net since CuJo and CuJo wasnt anywhere close to Hasek, Brodeur or Roy. Instead of using their first round picks on forwards (when they don't trade them) how about trading up to get the next can't miss goalie prospect.....and unlike Tuukka Rask, you don't trade him.
@@douglasrowe2161 And most of it was spent just saying repeatedly, "I don't know what to say." And drinking a beer. And the last five minutes of it was just a highlight reel from this season of LFRs. It's all rather poignant. I'm guessing this guy didn't actually watch the whole video.
Willy looked so PISSED when he scored in the 3rd, I think he wasn't happy with Matthews and Marner doing nothing all series while he always gets all the criticism during the season, but when it counts, it's him who delivers
Marner 1st PP minutes & apparently refuses to play anywahere else except on the half wall. Everyone just standing still.Pass & pass & pass & pass, because none of them but Mathews can shoot. It is not like Willy can shoot or Spezza , nah, Thorton & Marner has to work sooner or later actually never since Thorton is gone( thankfully) Just think they could have paid 1.5 for a decent player instead they get two geriatics that did nothing. Simmons & Thornintheside. Spezza, best player for the team all year & in playoffs.
I so agree . Nylander looked ready to go back to the face off circle to try score the next one. When he looked back he saw a bunch of sissies who had already given up. He looked dejected as.
I've been doing videos for about a year now, 1 take is so hard to do. Idk how he or THG do it, especially THG who does it almost every video. I didn't think much of it until I started making videos, but I'm constantly impressed now.
I was a kid last time they made round 2, I now have a mortgage and back pain. I stopped watching after they lost to Boston in game 7. And I'm done for good now.
@@sensfan7550 must sting to be an Ottawa fan. 9 game losing streak this past season and finished dead last in the north yet us Leafs fans should be embarrassed. Geez. Lmao.
as much as i blame Marner(and i do a decent amount), a lot of the blame need to be on Keefe as well for literally not doing anything about it. Matthews and Marner wasn't working. CHANGE THE LINES!!! Marner didnt have a single powerplay goal the entire season. Take him off the power play!! What's that? He isnt there to score goals? He sets them up? Well last i saw, almost no one was scoring powerplay goals on the leafs since the halfway point of the season. Leafs had the worst powerplay in the league from halfway to the end. Less than 10%. Ya the top guys need to show up and they certainly take their fair share of blame, but Keefe literally did nothing to change the situation either. Pretty much from game 1 to game 7, he did the same thing game in and game out with zero change to get things moving. As far as im concerned, he's just as much to blame as the players are in this scenario.
@@dominiquerichard1342 apparently there was a radio hit from Friedman that basically said marner would throw a fit if taken off the pp1 and matts wing. The exact quote is much more diplomatic but thats the jist. He is the problem through and through.
It’s not really a tragedy since he did it all to himself and it’s completely all his fault. He deserves every single bit of trash talk and hate he gets and I hope they chase him out of town.
@@EBobyay Than it sound like Dubas needs to sit down and have a talk with him. He either steps his game up to deserve that spot, or he's gone. Regardless of Dubas has to do to move that contract. Dubas should try and do everything in his power to trade him to a team like the Yotes. Marner can wallow with a shitty team if thats his attitude. If this is actually something he's said, than it's also a Dubas and Keefe problem for letting him get away with it. Do what's best for your team. Don't let some punk cry and dictate whats best
I'm waiting for 61 year old Dangle in LFR 40-something, Round 1, Game 7, where he just pushes down his glasses, sighs, says "nope." and turns the camera off
Hey Steve from the past, You did it again. You did what you said you wouldn't. You bought into the regular season success and storylines, and they still ended up disappointing you. Yet another loss in Game 7. If it makes you feel better, at least this time they really tried. They gave it their all and ended up being short.
Yes for sure I hope when the window is open to win for them they don’t strike out in the first round and maybe the next time leafs win the series VS Sens fitting the last time was vs Sens
@@mitchsmith7472 maybe the point is not to do super well in the regular season play playoff hockey all year just to get in and by that time they be use to due or die games
Crazy switching from the Leafs game to the Boston game. A top line that can perform, aggressive play, and more importantly heart. Boston lost tonight but they looked more alive than the leafs had in three games.
as a die-hard Washington Capitals fan, all i can say is winning takes time. And that all the pain of past playoff heartbreak will make the journey to triumph all the more satisfying. It took the Ovechkin-era Caps over 15 years to "do the thing", find your core and trust the process
I know this is old and I try to believe we are in the same shoes as you guys were through all those let down years. and yeah it took 13-15 years to win the cup but atleast you guys won playoff series.
As I've been trying to make a thing since last night, "Lads, it's Toronto." They're Canadian Tottenham at this point. They havent wkn a title since black and white like Tottenham, they bottlejob like Tottenham, they have an "All or Nothing" season coming like Tottenham, they deserve all of the Tottenham bantz.
"How 'bout another joke leafs? What do you get when you torture your fanbase by CONSTANTLY CHOKING IN THE FIRST ROUND? YOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE."
Yes they should pay him a million for every assist & goal. 1 goal in 7 games divided by 2 = 1/14 of a goal per game by them.So if the series was 98 games long they would each have a complete goal.
@@ChittyBang So what! Fluke run. Montreal shouldn't have even been in the playoffs. They had the 18th most points but they allowed four teams from each division in no matter what, including that Gawd awful all Canadian division where the MCs went 24-21. Bad team, didn't play an American team until the Cup semis ALL YEAR! Then the Knights lose some 3-2 games and this team's playing for a cup they never really earned a chance at so it's great that Tampa Bay sent the right message of who they really were in '21. Oh, and THIS YEAR....the whole league showed them who they really are once the NHL got back to real divisions and not taking four from each division automatically. So please don't even act like Montreal was the 2nd best team in hockey in 2021 as they weren't even close to that no matter what the flawed playoff format allowed for them to get away with. Not since 1993......and counting! For the WHOLE damn country. Wow....just.....damn!
I couldn’t even watch this until today....not going to lie, when you were talking about a player winning elsewhere instead of here, I teared up....thanks Steve for all you do
Dont listen to these ban wagon jets fans. Just be like me and dream of a day when Mcdavid comes to Toronto and pray we still have anyone here for him to play with then you and your wife can root for the same team. Untill then just hibernate like a Secada
@@ADragonNamedSpyro lol he won't go to the leafs bruh. He gonna win in edmonton. Look at the culture there, and then look at the prospects... what do the leafs have?? The Marlies??? Lmfao yeah right. Ohl is a joke. Just watch another Gretzky Era team and enjoy Canada winning a cup again.
I know His video for previewing game 7 was like “ if the leafs don’t win ima be really mad. Well maybe not too mad, it’s the leafs after all” He probably feels sad for them, him being a bruins fan and all
The Hockey Guy watched his Canucks lose Game 7 in 2011 against Boston, and says "Oh well, guess that's it.". In a year where Vancouverites RIOTED. And he's mad. He watched his team lose 2 SCFs and just says "Eeh, they get there someday.". And he's mad.
“If you’re a fan from another fan base, you’re a sicko! What are you doing putting me through this?” To answer this, it makes me feel a lot more sane about being a fan of the Sharks. Perennial playoff disappointments as they may be, at least I’ve been able to see them in the second round plenty of times, even the SCF once! Knowing someone else has it worse right now makes all that pain so much easier to handle.
And as a fan from a fanbase in another sport on the outside looking in, it's a reminder of the pain I suffered nearly my entire life when the Braves couldn't win a playoff series to save their own skin up until 2020. Thank god we actually got over the hump this year.
@@MeargleSchmeargle Oh, but as a Dodgers fan, I remember the Braves beating the Dodgers repeatedly in the playoffs. I suspect age might be a factor in how we remember the Braves in the playoffs.
@@angiebee2225 Oh yeah I wasn't around for the dynasty Braves of the 90s, I came around in '01. Mainly remember the 2010s, which have caused me to develop quite the hatred for your Dodgers (and to a lesser extent those black magic Cardinals), which now DEFINITELY isn't helped by what happened with Freddie Freeman (I get that Olson's basically a younger equivalent but it doesn't make me feel any better about seeing my boy Freddie in Dodger blue). I'm guessing that means you're an 80s/90s kid?
@@MeargleSchmeargle what a difference 20 years makes! I went to one of the games the Braves played in Los Angeles in the playoffs when I was a teen. I think Jermaine Dye was on the Braves at the time, so I would have been 15...
Steve, this isn’t about coming to see you get angry, it’s about a thoroughly articulate rant that genuinely examines the mystery that is this incomprehensible loss. I come here for some true insight.
Hey Steve, I’m a Bruins fan returning to this video after watching it shortly after it’s release. I came across your channel, frankly, by accident. I started looking for hockey content on UA-cam and found Dang-It’s, which I loved. It brought me to LFR, a channel that I never thought I would be interested in. A year later, I would consider myself a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs (though I’ll always root for the Bruins over the Leafs). I watch your videos, yes, sometimes because it’s funny to watch the angry guy scream, but also because you are a genuinely entertaining, insightful, and passionate individual who loves hockey in a way that is great to enjoy regardless of which team you root for. I know 2021 was a tough season for you, and I hope the Leafs perform better in 2022, because you deserve it. I’m a Leafs fan, yes, but really I’m a Steve fan. Keep up the great work.
It's crazy that they haven't won a series since 2004 I was 7 years old when they last won a series and I'm now 24.... when will this team win at least a freaking series I just wanna see the leafs win a cup before I die..... Ik I'm still young but still its hard being a toronto fan at times.....

Hey Steve, for 24 years I cheered for the Maple Leafs from the bottom of my heart. I bled blue and white, I still remember the Leafs beating the Sens in the early 2000's and then watching Tucker get cheapshotted and the heart they had. Then in 04' when Roenick sniped, that right there was the end of an era for second rounds for the Leafs. Then came along the horrific 13' collapse... and more collapses years later..... Now, I never thought in my lifetime I would ever abandon what I used to call "My Leafs".... but I did after the most embarrassing series loss in Maple Leaf history. The roster of a lifetime shit the bed. Yankee's of hockey failure is what I call it.... I can no longer watch and witness agony and pain year after year... Call them the Cubs of Hockey if you want because it'll take another 54 years for them to win. So long Maple Leafs.... never thought it would come to this.
Hey Steve, To say we are all extremely disappointed with how this season ended would be a understatement. I just wanted to say I appreciate these videos and thank you for another great season of entertainment! Enjoy the summer with your wife and kid!
Steve, please stick around. You're the most enjoyable sports UA-camr I know. I'm not even a Leafs fan, I cheer for the Caps. And I look forward to every video you drop. I'm waiting to see you go ballistic when the Leafs win it all. And I will keep waiting as long as it takes...
@@windwalker5765 the Leafs are like the Cubs or Red Sox. How many generations came and went without seeing a World Series being won by either of them. The Leafs are worse, it could extend into centuries for them.
Hey Steve, I first saw your LFR in 2020. LOVE your presentation because you sound and voice reactions to Leafs continued heartbreaking losses exactly like I do. Mine, however are not online. I watched our boys win in 1967 AND that’s how LOOOOONG I have been suffering. I feel your PAIN !!!
I feel like a student listening to a teacher rant after finding out the whole class cheated on a test. Im not even a Toronto fan and i feel ashamed lo l
This year was it. They were gifted with the Division format where 1 Canadian team is guaranteed to go to Conference Finals. Went all in on FA by giving away all the draft picks. First round against an 18th place team. Everything was aligned perfectly for them to succeed. In the end, they blew it. This is on the players. Period.
Yeah, if they can't win this year, they damn well won't next year. Up against Tampa, Boston, and Florida. This was their best chance and they pulled off one of the craziest chokes I've ever seen (I honestly think this might be worse than the 2010 bruins and 2019 lightning).
That Nick Foligno trade, I said at the time was a disaster. We blew a first and a third for what? 4 assists and then the guy leaves. People liked the trade then. I hated it and hate it more now.
You should continue. You made me like the Leafs. That is no small feat. I love to hear you talk about them with such passion. I think any team that is important to you is worth it. I’ve been an Expos fan... Much love and don’t despair.
I'm a Habs fan and honestly I haven't been able be happy about this win yet, just seeing the level of misery in the Leafs fanbase for so long, it's just brutal. Sure it's a game, but it brings people together and gives us something to attach our emotions to. Watching the way the Leafs folded, and the resigned expectations of the fans, it's hard to really take much joy out of that. I had told myself "if the Leafs have to finally break out, do it this year while we are still getting our team in gear" and had accepted the possibility of it just this once. And yet. Anyways, I don't want to pile on but I just wanted to say that all fans are essentially the same at their core, and so I feel for you guys. Also respect to Steve for sharing that charity for Residential School Survivors.
Thanks for actually being a hockey fan instead of some dick bag trying to rub it in, I can take it when both teams play well and my team looses but it drives me nuts having fans rag on opposing teams fan when clearly the loosing team just never showed up to play.
We were basically in "rebuild" mode and the team somehow just clicked together in an unexpected fashion so they got to the finals. That's way faster than expected. In 5 years, we could actually go on another deep run again.
Fuck the leafs they don't deserve the leafs fan who hope and follow every move. They are never the team that works hard enough to earn the victory. The don't deserve the fans who adore them.
When I found out, my heart sank. Not because I’m a die hard fan of the team, but because I knew Steve would be defeated. It’s the same with Buffalo and Melody. You guys make these teams worth watching because you guys are fantastic and make me care about teams I wouldn’t otherwise
Same, I’m a Pens fan and my first reaction was feeling gutted for Steve. I’ve a soft spot for the Leafs because of him. They don’t deserve his passion.
@@Arrrghjay84 for real..i like Steve (clearly we all do since we follow his videos lol) was pulling for the leafs given their recent bad history of playoffs..i felt dejected for them (the leafs) even before i saw this video i felt so bad for him and Leafs fans
Steve is a very rare species, he’s loved by every Leafs fans because he makes them feel better about themselves and they know they’re not alone feeling like this, and he’s also loved by everyone else’s who like me hates the Leafs, because he’s very entertaining and he makes us feels good to be fans of any other teams but the Leafs! Lol
I'm not Leafs fan (Bruins) but I love watching Steve because he seems like a genuinely good person. He's immensely knowledgeable on all things hockey which is always fun. Hes an enjoyable hockey personality who manages to make us care about him. You rock Steve. Chin up!

"Then the Leafs come back and tie the game in the third." "And so they win the game in overtime and all the fans are happy?" "No" "Oh Whoops" "Whoopsie!"
Steve: no, we non-leafs fans aren’t sickos. It’s just that we love to see your passion, and we love to see a true fan even though he’s a fan of a different team. We know that you would’ve traded in all your 60,000 viewers on the live broadcast for a win last night. That’s why we have enormous respect for you and it hurts us to see the leafs lose just because of you - not because of them. Thanks for all your videos!
I’m a die hard HABS Fan and I actually feel for you. Good job on your channel. I respect die hard fans. You’re very humble through a this and respect to you. Leafs have a great team. They just need a couple tweaks. Maybe some gritty players thats won before.
I watch you’re videos because they’re great, they’re honest and I think it helps other fans to know they’re not alone in how they feel. I’m a Canucks fan. I empathize with you. I’m so sorry that the leafs keep throwing good chances away. Hopefully our teams will have better luck next year. Love your videos Steve! You’re an amazing, passionate person. Keep up the amazing work.
Personally, i think you can’t blame Campbell in this series except for maybe a couple of goals he should’ve had. Aside from those couple of goals, he played well in this series
This is why I’m no longer a Leafs fan after game 7 with Montreal. Because it was making me go insane myself & starting to get depressed yesterday after watching what the Leafs did….again. I have a good life but I can’t cheer for the Leafs anymore…
Habs fan here, I don't know what to tell you Steve. Take a break from it all. That's what the off season is for, no matter how bummed out you feel after it's over, training camp will come in September and it gets exciting again. Another thing...I really enjoy your videos (not just the one where you lose it :)), you are entertaining, I like your views on hockey overall, but most of all, you seem like a legit good person. Hopefully I can keep seeing you around here for a while more! Cheers!

Winner of the first Leafs game of the season is who I cheer for...until their next game. Whoever wins that game is who I cheer for... until their next game. By the end of the season, my support will be passed around like an STD. I will cheer for possibly 82 different teams. And when the season ends, that's my team going forward. I am 35. I've been a Leafs fan since birth. Gilmour, Potvin, Clark, they were my BOYS. We got Cujo, I was pumped. Belfour, I was thrilled. Sundin was magic. The Matthews Marner combo made me so incredibly happy. I thought this was it. My heart can't take it anymore. If I could hug you, I would. I feel your pain. Thanks for everything Steve.
Honestly Steve, this was one of my favorite seasons watching LFRs. Obviously not the outcome, but being able to watch and celebrate so many leaf wins with you was something I looked forward to. I know that alot of people are here for yelly screamy man, but thats not all of us. Here's to hoping next year there's more ups and not such a big down to end the year

Spezza, no matter how old he is, I want to be resigned because he showed up. They need to improve the defense a bit more as well. An interesting offseason indeed.

@@allanmmclean At the end of the day, you can’t blame management, can’t blame Kyle Dubas for this one
I've been saying this for a while....the Leafs won't make it anywhere until they get a Vezina winning/contending goalie. Think of the production line of bums they've had in the net since CuJo and CuJo wasnt anywhere close to Hasek, Brodeur or Roy. Instead of using their first round picks on forwards (when they don't trade them) how about trading up to get the next can't miss goalie prospect.....and unlike Tuukka Rask, you don't trade him.
Steve: "I don't know what to say."
Also Steve: Makes a 30 minute video.
It always takes longer when you don't know what to say.
@@douglasrowe2161 And most of it was spent just saying repeatedly, "I don't know what to say." And drinking a beer. And the last five minutes of it was just a highlight reel from this season of LFRs. It's all rather poignant. I'm guessing this guy didn't actually watch the whole video.

Steve isnt even a big screamy guy anymore. He’s just depressed
Yeah honestly I loved watching him scream about the Zamboni or when they lost to the Bruins in game 7 but now it’s kinda just depressing
Willy looked so PISSED when he scored in the 3rd, I think he wasn't happy with Matthews and Marner doing nothing all series while he always gets all the criticism during the season, but when it counts, it's him who delivers
Marner 1st PP minutes & apparently refuses to play anywahere else except on the half wall. Everyone just standing still.Pass & pass & pass & pass, because none of them but Mathews can shoot. It is not like Willy can shoot or Spezza , nah, Thorton & Marner has to work sooner or later actually never since Thorton is gone( thankfully) Just think they could have paid 1.5 for a decent player instead they get two geriatics that did nothing. Simmons & Thornintheside. Spezza, best player for the team all year & in playoffs.
I so agree . Nylander looked ready to go back to the face off circle to try score the next one. When he looked back he saw a bunch of sissies who had already given up. He looked dejected as.
Marner needs to get traded for some second or third liners idgaf who the Leafs get. Nylander needs to be first line.
Nylander is a leader not that child Marner.
Why does this goof keep screaming.

Same. I was searching for terms "Marner trade" for the last 48hrs and this video appeared again on my YT main page. :)

Marner could have been a hometown LEGEND. Now, he is a pariah, a persona non-grata. It is a true tragedy.
as much as i blame Marner(and i do a decent amount), a lot of the blame need to be on Keefe as well for literally not doing anything about it. Matthews and Marner wasn't working. CHANGE THE LINES!!! Marner didnt have a single powerplay goal the entire season. Take him off the power play!! What's that? He isnt there to score goals? He sets them up? Well last i saw, almost no one was scoring powerplay goals on the leafs since the halfway point of the season. Leafs had the worst powerplay in the league from halfway to the end. Less than 10%.
Ya the top guys need to show up and they certainly take their fair share of blame, but Keefe literally did nothing to change the situation either. Pretty much from game 1 to game 7, he did the same thing game in and game out with zero change to get things moving. As far as im concerned, he's just as much to blame as the players are in this scenario.
@@dominiquerichard1342 apparently there was a radio hit from Friedman that basically said marner would throw a fit if taken off the pp1 and matts wing.
The exact quote is much more diplomatic but thats the jist.
He is the problem through and through.
Fuck him 11m can pay it
It’s not really a tragedy since he did it all to himself and it’s completely all his fault. He deserves every single bit of trash talk and hate he gets and I hope they chase him out of town.
@@EBobyay Than it sound like Dubas needs to sit down and have a talk with him. He either steps his game up to deserve that spot, or he's gone. Regardless of Dubas has to do to move that contract. Dubas should try and do everything in his power to trade him to a team like the Yotes. Marner can wallow with a shitty team if thats his attitude.
If this is actually something he's said, than it's also a Dubas and Keefe problem for letting him get away with it. Do what's best for your team. Don't let some punk cry and dictate whats best

Hey Steve from the past,
You did it again. You did what you said you wouldn't. You bought into the regular season success and storylines, and they still ended up disappointing you. Yet another loss in Game 7. If it makes you feel better, at least this time they really tried. They gave it their all and ended up being short.
More material for the next book.
To be fair.... I fully believe if the Leafs played anyone other than Tampa they win that series.
I ran across this by sheer accident, and I'm a Habs fan, but this is like SUPER good, you've got an amazing thing going here, sir. Great job, truly!
You've never seen his lost go a zamboni driver video have you
At this point Ottawa will have undergone a full rebuild for multiple years, and will still win a round b4 the leafs
Yes for sure I hope when the window is open to win for them they don’t strike out in the first round and maybe the next time leafs win the series VS Sens fitting the last time was vs Sens
The Sabres too
They won 2 rounds a few years ago lol
@@mitchsmith7472 maybe the point is not to do super well in the regular season play playoff hockey all year just to get in and by that time they be use to due or die games
You’re right
Crazy switching from the Leafs game to the Boston game. A top line that can perform, aggressive play, and more importantly heart. Boston lost tonight but they looked more alive than the leafs had in three games.
Never knew you were a Leafs and Steve Dangle fan. Kind of cool seeing you here Eckhart!
Are you an eternally tortured Leafs fan too?
Who’d you rather have? Bruins top line or leafs top line? Bruins top line is two way, more aggressive and has a lot smaller of a cap hit
I had this exact same experience
When worlds collide
God I love coming back to these videos of pure suffering. No hockey fanbase deserves it more.
as a die-hard Washington Capitals fan, all i can say is winning takes time. And that all the pain of past playoff heartbreak will make the journey to triumph all the more satisfying. It took the Ovechkin-era Caps over 15 years to "do the thing", find your core and trust the process
I know this is old and I try to believe we are in the same shoes as you guys were through all those let down years. and yeah it took 13-15 years to win the cup but atleast you guys won playoff series.
at least the Caps won a playoff round LOL

Matthews and Marner should just give their salary to Spezza.
and Nylander
@@sneekyneeky8822 Nylander at least produced in this series. The other two were practically invisible.
And Hyman.
Yes they should pay him a million for every assist & goal. 1 goal in 7 games divided by 2 = 1/14 of a goal per game by them.So if the series was 98 games long they would each have a complete goal.

@@ChittyBang So what! Fluke run. Montreal shouldn't have even been in the playoffs. They had the 18th most points but they allowed four teams from each division in no matter what, including that Gawd awful all Canadian division where the MCs went 24-21. Bad team, didn't play an American team until the Cup semis ALL YEAR! Then the Knights lose some 3-2 games and this team's playing for a cup they never really earned a chance at so it's great that Tampa Bay sent the right message of who they really were in '21. Oh, and THIS YEAR....the whole league showed them who they really are once the NHL got back to real divisions and not taking four from each division automatically.
So please don't even act like Montreal was the 2nd best team in hockey in 2021 as they weren't even close to that no matter what the flawed playoff format allowed for them to get away with.

“If you’re a fan from another fan base, you’re a sicko! What are you doing putting me through this?”
To answer this, it makes me feel a lot more sane about being a fan of the Sharks. Perennial playoff disappointments as they may be, at least I’ve been able to see them in the second round plenty of times, even the SCF once! Knowing someone else has it worse right now makes all that pain so much easier to handle.
And as a fan from a fanbase in another sport on the outside looking in, it's a reminder of the pain I suffered nearly my entire life when the Braves couldn't win a playoff series to save their own skin up until 2020. Thank god we actually got over the hump this year.

Hey Steve, I’m a Bruins fan returning to this video after watching it shortly after it’s release. I came across your channel, frankly, by accident. I started looking for hockey content on UA-cam and found Dang-It’s, which I loved. It brought me to LFR, a channel that I never thought I would be interested in. A year later, I would consider myself a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs (though I’ll always root for the Bruins over the Leafs). I watch your videos, yes, sometimes because it’s funny to watch the angry guy scream, but also because you are a genuinely entertaining, insightful, and passionate individual who loves hockey in a way that is great to enjoy regardless of which team you root for. I know 2021 was a tough season for you, and I hope the Leafs perform better in 2022, because you deserve it. I’m a Leafs fan, yes, but really I’m a Steve fan. Keep up the great work.

Hey Steve, for 24 years I cheered for the Maple Leafs from the bottom of my heart. I bled blue and white, I still remember the Leafs beating the Sens in the early 2000's and then watching Tucker get cheapshotted and the heart they had. Then in 04' when Roenick sniped, that right there was the end of an era for second rounds for the Leafs. Then came along the horrific 13' collapse... and more collapses years later..... Now, I never thought in my lifetime I would ever abandon what I used to call "My Leafs".... but I did after the most embarrassing series loss in Maple Leaf history. The roster of a lifetime shit the bed. Yankee's of hockey failure is what I call it.... I can no longer watch and witness agony and pain year after year... Call them the Cubs of Hockey if you want because it'll take another 54 years for them to win.

This year was it. They were gifted with the Division format where 1 Canadian team is guaranteed to go to Conference Finals. Went all in on FA by giving away all the draft picks. First round against an 18th place team. Everything was aligned perfectly for them to succeed. In the end, they blew it. This is on the players. Period.
Yeah, if they can't win this year, they damn well won't next year. Up against Tampa, Boston, and Florida. This was their best chance and they pulled off one of the craziest chokes I've ever seen (I honestly think this might be worse than the 2010 bruins and 2019 lightning).
The depth wasn't good tho compared to other teams. They need better D and also change some over paid forwards
And coach. Keefe didn't help us out either.
That Nick Foligno trade, I said at the time was a disaster. We blew a first and a third for what? 4 assists and then the guy leaves. People liked the trade then. I hated it and hate it more now.

You should continue. You made me like the Leafs. That is no small feat. I love to hear you talk about them with such passion. I think any team that is important to you is worth it. I’ve been an Expos fan... Much love and don’t despair.
I'm a Habs fan and honestly I haven't been able be happy about this win yet, just seeing the level of misery in the Leafs fanbase for so long, it's just brutal. Sure it's a game, but it brings people together and gives us something to attach our emotions to. Watching the way the Leafs folded, and the resigned expectations of the fans, it's hard to really take much joy out of that. I had told myself "if the Leafs have to finally break out, do it this year while we are still getting our team in gear" and had accepted the possibility of it just this once. And yet. Anyways, I don't want to pile on but I just wanted to say that all fans are essentially the same at their core, and so I feel for you guys. Also respect to Steve for sharing that charity for Residential School Survivors.
Thanks for actually being a hockey fan instead of some dick bag trying to rub it in, I can take it when both teams play well and my team looses but it drives me nuts having fans rag on opposing teams fan when clearly the loosing team just never showed up to play.
I agree
We were basically in "rebuild" mode and the team somehow just clicked together in an unexpected fashion so they got to the finals. That's way faster than expected. In 5 years, we could actually go on another deep run again.
This is the saddest I have felt as a leaf fan. 22 years. This is the worst yet. I guess there's always next year...
They should blow up the stadium
Become a Seattle crackhead. I've been a fan almost 25 years and the leafs are never the team trying the hardest, they don't deserve the fans they have
Fuck the leafs they don't deserve the leafs fan who hope and follow every move. They are never the team that works hard enough to earn the victory. The don't deserve the fans who adore them.

This is why I’m no longer a Leafs fan after game 7 with Montreal. Because it was making me go insane myself & starting to get depressed yesterday after watching what the Leafs did….again. I have a good life but I can’t cheer for the Leafs anymore…
very slim silver lining : they wont need to rush Tavares back before he is ready now
For Tavares it's the best thing that could've happened
Should of stayed in long island
@@rizzla4871 should have*
Essential “good news: the bad news is bad instead of very bad!”
Steve, you’re more than the yelling hockey UA-cam man & you know that
What would i do?
Slap my parents for let me grow up a Leafs fan
Habs fan here, I don't know what to tell you Steve. Take a break from it all. That's what the off season is for, no matter how bummed out you feel after it's over, training camp will come in September and it gets exciting again. Another thing...I really enjoy your videos (not just the one where you lose it :)), you are entertaining, I like your views on hockey overall, but most of all, you seem like a legit good person. Hopefully I can keep seeing you around here for a while more! Cheers!
LFOR: Leafs Fan Opponent Reactions - talk about every game from the perspective of the opponent. A fresh spin on the LFR's
Now this is a good idea
He did it already... he took time to see it from their view and invited opponent fans to have their say.
YES
So he can know what winning feels like?
I feel like a student sitting in a classroom when the teacher is yelling at the class
I'm a Habs fan and I gotta say you're entertaining as hell. Keep up the great work!
This keeps getting recommended to me for like 3 weeks straight so I guess I'll relive this pain
They’ve got that classic “Lay Down and Die in the Face of Adversity Syndrome” the Capitals used to have, it’s very familiar looking.
They’ve got that pathetic effort in the biggest games syndrome
Naah caps did make it past 1st round, and when they did lose, it was usually for SC champions
@@fczip5493 Remember 2010? President's Trophy winning Capitals take a 3-1 series lead in the 1st round against the last seed Canadiens and Montréal win it in G7?
who says no Wilson and Mantha for Marner
Well Deja vu Caps laid down in 5 against the Bruins.
The season doesn't officially end until I get to watch this video
At least Toronto won games, Edmonton got swept. Man Canandas top teams have got to step up
@@yuvyork6915 imagine typing the same comment multiple times on one video… loser
@@yuvyork6915 okay bud no one cares about Edmonton unless you're a oilers fan this is a leafs UA-cam channel this is about the leafs not Edmonton....
So my cousin is a huge leafs fan I guess u could say I'm speaking on behalf of him why does it even matter if I'm from oil country
What do I do? Well Steve, I'm glad you asked. I am embarking on the ultimate bandwagon journey next season. Next season is a battle for my support. Winner of the first Leafs game of the season is who I cheer for...until their next game. Whoever wins that game is who I cheer for... until their next game. By the end of the season, my support will be passed around like an STD. I will cheer for possibly 82 different teams. And when the season ends, that's my team going forward. I am 35. I've been a Leafs fan since birth. Gilmour, Potvin, Clark, they were my BOYS. We got Cujo, I was pumped. Belfour, I was thrilled. Sundin was magic. The Matthews Marner combo made me so incredibly happy. I thought this was it. My heart can't take it anymore.
If I could hug you, I would. I feel your pain. Thanks for everything Steve.
"I don't even care what they have to say."
Ouch. That's real pain right there.
Demoralization
Honestly Steve, this was one of my favorite seasons watching LFRs. Obviously not the outcome, but being able to watch and celebrate so many leaf wins with you was something I looked forward to. I know that alot of people are here for yelly screamy man, but thats not all of us. Here's to hoping next year there's more ups and not such a big down to end the year
Dude you are amazing. Not even a leafs fan but the passion in every video is what keeps me coming back.
As a Montreal fan I come back to watch this to give that warm heart feeling….thanks steve
"What was it, the pressure??? There was no one in the building!!"
HAHAHAHAAHA
Well at least they had 500 folks trained to deal with a choking patient 😀
Perhaps LFR stands for Leaf’s Fan Reconsideration
Leafs fan redemption
Leafs failure reconsideration
We all love you and your channel, Steve. I've been following you happily since Phil went to Pittsburgh. I hope you continue to do a show that makes you happy. I was rooting for your boys, have a special place of hate for Montreal and NYI in my heart. Take care
Imagine being born in 2005 and going through your whole childhood as a leafs and not seeing The Leafs make the second round couldn’t be m ee
Kids born in that year are getting drafted to the O and the Q this year and of course those who were born in late 04 during the lockout.
If this really is the final LFR, I just wanna say Thank You for the years of entertainment, charity, laughs, and just all of it.
Time for a new chapter...?
SteveDangle new chapter: Raptors fan reaction. SteveDangle becomes a Raptors fan instead.
@@arthurau9231 and get heartbroken with the raptors??
@@kingcorey9762 At least the Raptors knows how to win a playoff round, which is something the Leafs don't know how to do.
@@kingcorey9762 he won't get heartbroken. They've been out of the first round
I'm a Canadiens fan and my heart aches watching Steve like this.
Same, I came to support buuut
3:14 If you're a fan from another fanbase, *YOU'RE A SICKO!! WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE, PUTTING ME THROUGH THIS!!*
Me a MTL fan: _quite ahem_
*"😅 Is this a bad time?😅"*
@@kylecookson9368 im just here out of curiosity after seeing how toxic and proud leafs fans were on NHL66 as soon as they won game 2
@@borrow4654 NHL66 is a good stream with a toxic chat, admin, and mod team (not all of course). As a Leafs fan I just want to support my team with fellow fans, but we get memed and attacked to death, and yes, at times I chirped back. So which came 1st? A lot of Leafs haters say they hate us because media focuses on us so much, which isn't our fault. Anyway, the mod Margo HATES Leafs fans because she had issues with one fan, and now takes it out on all. Her view spills over to admin and some of the other mods. It's honestly impossible to be a Leafs fan and a part of NHL66 chat and social media.
@@skyblue6507 i feel you. Ive been called a frog or a frenchy retard just cause i was chearing for the habs lol. Anyhow, I know the majority of fans arent dick heads. I didnt mean to generalise that way. Take care and i hope you can still enjoy some playoff hockey this year !
Not me. If the Leafs had won he'd be putting in OUR faces
Hey man, just found your station, and I love your attitude. More fans should aspire to being a good fan like you. HUGS
i live in Toronto for 50 yrs now i am from Montreal and i grew up watching a great Montreal teams. and all my friends are leaf fan and i find it amazing how i do cheer with my friends for you poor leaf fans. This year i was sure with the off season deals the team was awesome, and as the season went on all my friends said we are the best by far in the north easy semifinal team. But i told all my friends the regular season is always no measure of a playoff team. No one clogs the middle no one sticks to the check no one hits like it the end of the world, yet i was still a believer even i doubted my Habs. I feel sad for all you leaf fans but really your team needs some guts and fortitude or you will always bow out in the first round. regular season is regular season playoffs are a different thing. Good luck next year leaf fans !!!
Habs are frauds
This feels like a teacher that has absolutely lost it yelling at their students for misbehaving.
That’s what I was thinking too lmao
Classic, great analogy.
Yeah, I’ve been on the end of one of those. Totally matches
