Crosby was robbed of a few trophies, but I doubt he cares. The best description of Crosby I’ve heard: “Crosby will be what he needs to be to help his team win: a goal scorer, an assist machine, a grinder, a defender…he’s a jack of all trades who would rather fill those slots than rack up the scoreboard. If he helped his team by playing bottom line, you know he would do every day of the week. I don’t think we’ll ever see another player with that jack of all trades attitude.
What isnt' being said enough is that the Leafs had just won 5 games in a row, but 4 of those games were against Philly and the Islanders, and the other was Boston who can't beat ANYONE right now lol. Carolina was the first team with a pulse that they've played pretty much all of 2025.
You guys missed one important point in the Tom Martin story. I am pretty sure he played with Ray Ferraro in Hartford and he has talked about the trade before having mentioned that his teammates knew about the trade and nicknamed him "Bussey".
Crosby can also break a Gretzky record this year! Most seasons at a point per game or more. They are tied at 19 and Crosby is on track (just barely) this year to make it to 20 seasons at a point per game or more. Talk about consistency.
Monty is better than you think. Yes, he's played nearly 200 games and doesn't have good stats. But that's likely to be the case when playing 150 of those games for a bad team. Monty will likely do as good a job as anyone else for team Canada.
I can’t remember why but the German word for butterfly is one of those factoids that is just drilled into my brain and adam triggered the instant recall on it
Logan Thompson is having a good year. Another goalie that has had a way better year than any of the guys on the Canadian roster is Blackwood. In my opinion Suzuki deserves the nod to be on the roster more than Tavares and a couple guys on the roster.
33:36 the irony of the fact that for years they have tried to say Jesper Bratt's name with their idea of a Swedish pronunciation and have yet to ever pronounce it correctly. 1:41:52 the HHOF doesn't like Mogilny because he didn't win a cup with Toronto but he won one with NJ same reason they didn't let Pat Burns in until after he passed.
Adam is such a pile of trash for trying to defend mispronouncing someone's name. It's as simple as "oh, that's how you pronounce it? Got it" and move on. It's so disrespectful.
Regardless of who you think should or shouldn't be goalie for Canada, it's a bit ridiculous to only look at sv%. Yep good team in front of a goalie help the goalie. Thompson and Hill definitively play behind a much better defensive team. Right now Montembault have a 0.148 goals saved above expected per 60 which is right between Vasilevskiy and Saros, and much better than the 0.083 of Binnington. That said, I do believe that Thompson is the best Canadien goalie currently and should have been part of Canada. Personally, I think it should have been Thompson, Blackwood and Hill. Blackwood is not far behind Thompson is both GSAE per 60 and Sv%. And if you want more veteran, you can you with Talbot instead of Blackwood since he have a better GASE per 60 and Sv% than Binnington.
Just for those comments, Steve, I hope the Canucks run the Leafs out of their own building tomorrow!! At least get your facts right, the Canucks are not sick, I don't know where you got that from. Also, Pettersson is back tonight, which only leaves Hronek (who is due back very soon), and Joshua, that's not terribly injured. I can't wait for the LFR after the Canucks run the Leafs show and you lose your mind!
The Goalie decision for team Canada is debatable but its clear they didn't take the 3 best Canadian goalies this season. Thompson, Blackwood and I would argue Talbot should've been at least discussed. Fair enough. But these roster decisions had to be locked by like the 3rd of December. They didn't have the information you have now, they had to base it on peoples start to season and their prior body of work. Has it aged excellently? maybe not but it is what it is. I still think that the roster is good enough to win the whole tournament without a doubt. Also on Montembeault, he had some games where he got blown up because the Habs SUCKED for like 20 games, but in wins, Montembeault's save percentage is SILLY at a .949%!!!! and he's tied in 3rd in the NHL with 3 shutouts!! If I had to guess, they took Montembeault because when he's on, he is ON. His sv% in wins is .27 higher than Thompson's for example. It's a little weird, but I can see the logic too. They may have assumed that with a competent team in front of him, his number would look much better. Thompson should absolutely be on this team, I would argue Blackwood and Kuemper or even the flower just for the culture should have been the picks, but I can kinda get the Montembeault pick
I really, really really want the trade tree.....but I really want to know what happened to the bus....Did it "Drive", to victory with it's new team? Did it go on IR b/c of a crash?......So much to learn....
Mo should be my 2nd best D out of 5 and right now he's 5th. Behind Hedman, Dunn, Weegar, and Seider. Dunn had the same amount of points in half the games.
Team Canada had to choose one of Adin Hill or Logan Thompson for the team, it is well known they did not get along well in Vegas which is why they aren't on the same team anymore. Canada was obligated to pick one of the two, and they went with Hill. They did not want both, to avoid any potential drama. Any kind of digging into the situation would have made Adam's rant about the 4 Nations unnecessary, if only he looked into it.
Idk why they’re saying Brad Marchand has been bad. He’s got a good amount of points, and on a lot of the bruins bad games, he’s been one of the few who seems like he cares.
Logan Thompson leaving Vegas was simple, Sean Burke. He and Adin are buds or something because it seems VGKs goalie coach would always prefer Hill over Thompson. LT wanted a better shot and he asked for the trade. As a Vegas fan, I still miss LT but I am SO happy for him!
As a swede I can't tell you how little I care about the way the commentator pronounces the names, even when they try to get it right it doesn't sound right anyway, so it doesn't really matter. I guess it's nice to not get the name totally wrong but.. eh. As long as it's not egregious I really don't care. Maybe that's just me.
The problem is the toxic political bullshit at Hockey Canada that keeps fuckin up the process. Leaving some of the best players home to satisfy the feelings of the people building the team is what caused us to lose the dubs, and would very well see us lose this showcase event. Whenever we just pick the best possible 14 forwards, best 9 dmen and 3 best goalies, we dominate and take gold. Whenever they try to get cute with how they pick the team and overthink the process instead of doing the obvious, we lose out completely. They need to fix that before anything else. Then they need to put a lot more focus on goalie development.
Crosby was robbed of a few trophies, but I doubt he cares.

This is why Crosby is a winner
He definitely would have won the Art Ross, Hart and Lindsay in 2011, 12, 13 if not for injury. I think he won the Lindsay in 13 anyway
We were up 2-0 and I was like “finally a dominant game” boy was I wrong.
New to being a leafs fan?
We are going to need an entire pod with Steven talking in his Screamin' A. Smith voice, and another one with the Mike Francesca New York accent.
Montreal is being fueled by adams disrespect lol GOHABSGO
Nobody cares about Adam anyway
@SamuelAtalla yes we do he's part of the team
@@SamuelAtalla l like Adam but I swear that man is literally always wrong and correcting himself
it's the damn 2nd round pick
@danieldosso2455 the one Montreal added in as part of the Laine trade ? Hahaha
The Spirit of Arsene Wenger possessed the Leafs in that performance against Carolina.
you made me think he died , scared the hell outta me
That is quite the eclectic statement
I like it when Adam talks about Iron Maiden.
I wonder if he has two tickets to Iron Maiden?
Its almost as good as when Steve talks about Protest the Hero
MVP: Most Valuable Primate
You can't dislike this comment that's forsure
I came here to say this exact thing 😂
Steve’s commentary on airbud had me nearly pissing my pants.
What isnt' being said enough is that the Leafs had just won 5 games in a row, but 4 of those games were against Philly and the Islanders, and the other was Boston who can't beat ANYONE right now lol. Carolina was the first team with a pulse that they've played pretty much all of 2025.

WHY NOT??!?!?!?!
Bring back Panago Pizza as a sponsor of the SDPN!

@@ThatsBadTV Yeah, SDPN may be too expensive for Panago Pizza now. I get it.
The Air Bud segment is already a top segment of the year and it's January 10th
Nooooooo, you guys missed the best part of that scene in "Seventh Inning Fetch!" Buddy SLIDES into home base, and it is one of the best things ever 😂
i cant wait for April 1st, gunna be a great episode of trade tree
Crosby also missed 1.5 years of his absolutely prime due to concussions...
Steve's 🎷 laughs are the best

.898 on a rebuilding Habs team 🤔 Honestly thought he'd be worse than that.
Now that Mathews appears to be healthy, the Leafs should trade him before he breaks -50 on his plus minus.
And then someone Tonya Hardings the dog
-Steven! 🤣🤣
Monty is better than you think. Yes, he's played nearly 200 games and doesn't have good stats. But that's likely to be the case when playing 150 of those games for a bad team. Monty will likely do as good a job as anyone else for team Canada.

Why are you hiding the signs from the dog 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"What if the dog gets beamed right in the face?" Well Steve, you could then say "how the turntables"
Jesse repping the Kings!
Logan Thompson is having a good year. Another goalie that has had a way better year than any of the guys on the Canadian roster is Blackwood. In my opinion Suzuki deserves the nod to be on the roster more than Tavares and a couple guys on the roster.
Montembeault has been the best Canadian goalie since the rosters have been made (I believe)
Jagr was the last guy you knew was going to lead the league in points before the season even started. His dominance isn’t appreciated enough.
Lets Go Canes!
Of all things I could've guessed that they'd talk about, the 'Buddies' movies (which were my favorites as a kid) was def not one of them

It’s been 10 games since Blackwood gave up more than 2 goals.
You get - if you give up a short handed goal. If you’re full strength you get a -

Thompson wasn't even considered we know that because according to him team Canada never even called him
Why did I say “Du Hast” at the EXACT SAME TIME AS ADAM 35:10

But Adam ranting about things he doesn't really understand is such an integral part of the show!
@MrBellsa61 LMAO 🤣 honestly fair, love him anyways but man oh man this one was well-known, surprised Steve or Jesse didn't mention it
Shocked youre having the Rielly conversation when you KNOW he has never gotten a proper top pairing partner? Wow.
Idk why they’re saying Brad Marchand has been bad. He’s got a good amount of points, and on a lot of the bruins bad games, he’s been one of the few who seems like he cares.
+/- is huge when your top line is a combined-17. Yes it’s only one game but it shows how much they sucked

as a leaf hater.... Please play this team, don't change anything.... and 4 months later discuss how you will change it AGAIN 6 years in a row
we need to call robertson "Scratch N' Score", it's getting ridiculous
That’s hilarious
How do you say "hot schocolahh" in Latvian?

That's pretty funny since everyone butchers my last name however, Adam got it right the first time he said it on a G N stream
I know it’s probably too political of a topic but I’d love to hear the fellas make their own hypothetical US-Canada Olympic roster
