Airport | The Steve Dangle Podcast 

The “back to back with travel excuse” can never be used again

So, Nova Scotia basically loves New England in general and Boston in particular for Adam's History Corner reasons. In 1917, the harbor in Halifax exploded in what might still be the biggest non-nucular explosion ever. New England sent trains with relief and medics basically immediately. Nova Scotia still sends a Christmas tree to Boston as thanks every year. It may not be a conscious thought anymore, but there's still a lot of regional goodwill there.

That laugh about the Rogers gift card is potentially the best Steve laugh I have EVER heard.

Thing with Brodie in my opinion is the fact that he lost his dad this year. His head has to be a messed up right now I’m pretty sure his dad was a major influence in his play so losing someone like that can have you lost. I feel for him

In the discussion about the Oilers and whether they would be the same under Woodcroff I have two points. There are two big changes that are driving the success of the Oilers and they are not so much related directly to Coach K but rather changes that came about because he was hired. The first major change is that they put Mark Stewart in charge of the penalty kill. He immediately cut Edmonton down to three penalty-killing forward pairs (RNH and Ryan, Janmark and Brown, and finally Foegle and McLeod) and two defensive pairs (Desharnais and Ekholm and then Nurse and Ceci) and stuck with it allowing these guys to build chemistry and familiarity. Draisaitl will take d-zone faceoffs but immediately switches out at first opportunity; they do not deviate from this unless one of those guys mentioned takes a penalty themself. The Oilers PK has gone from the bottom of the league to one of the best in the league under his guidance. The second major change was the addition of Paul Coffey who took over when Dave Manson left with Woodcroff. Paul Coffey has empowered his defencemen to make plays and seems to have them playing with way more confidence getting involved in the attack and pinching down the wall to maintain the forecheck. One of the subtle changes he made was that he has them sitting together in the locker room as he wants them to feel like a defensive unit and not just a collection of players. Add to that how hard the forwards have been backchecking and providing the defence options on zone exits and you have one of the best transition teams in the league moving the puck out of their zone so quickly they are hard to forecheck. If you look at the expected goals share from money puck the numbers are very impressive for the defence pairs. Bouchard and Ekholm are at 66.1%, Kulak and Desharnais are at 60%, and Nurse and Ceci who get the toughest quality of competition are at 52.6%. It is hard to imagine the Oilers' d-pairs have these numbers considering how the season started.

congrats on reaching 100K guys 🙌🎉🎊🎈👑

How are the Wings mid when they're one point behind Toronto, have more regulation wins, are the second highest scoring offense in the league, and held the second spot in the Atlantic for some time? Also, they really need to stop putting Matthews in the greatest players' conversation. He scores goals, but he's not even in the top 5 or dare i say top 10 in the league.

Steven's laugh about Adam Wylde receiving a Thank You plaque and the $125 Rogers gift card!

Pizza was invented in Naples Italy on June 11 1889, and the reason the date is so specific is it was invented, to honour the queen consort of Italy, Margherita of Savoy, the Neapolitan pizza maker Raffaele Esposito created the "Pizza Margherita", a pizza garnished with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, to represent the national colours of Italy as on the Flag of Italy.

Steve's "Don't lose" rant says everything about Leafs. They are not different than last 5 yrs. Except they've anchored more money to the theme.

I was at the wings game. That sucked. Also congrats on 100k guys!

I know this is just out of left field but I seriously don't know what I'd do without this content. I'm not even a leafs fan. I just love hockey. I work a dead end job, night shift and you guys keep me company for the first couple hours and it really just sets a standard for how good my day is going to go. I don't have many friends who are into hockey as I am, so being able to understand all of the talk and want to contribute makes me feel happy.

"Doesnt speak human being" lol

Just finished up "Why Is That" to see this one dropped 23min ago. Awesome!

THE KINGS FINALLY WON A GAME JESUS

Congrats on 100k!!! WELL FREAKIN DESERVED!!!

100k Boys, congrats

Coffey has had a huge impact, coaching change has definitely helped the D

As an oilers fan I say 85% of the improvement came from 2 spots 1)Coffey being hired to take over the D. Oilers D has been leaps and bounds better (primarily on the breakout) than I’ve ever seen in my 20 years of being a fan. 2) goaltending figuring out how to make some save The other 15% I attribute to the hockey gods finally letting bounces go our way (or at least end up as a save not a goal against)

French Revolution! Love it! Been listening to Mike Dunca's Revoluitions for years. Great stuff. Love to hear Adam's History Corner about the French Revolution.

Great time to be a leafs fan. Stretches of losses are the worst feeling and winning is the best feeling

lets just point out Landeskog hasn't played a game in almost 1.5 years.. 2.. if you say he comes back during the playoffs.. i find it difficult to believe someone can be effective jumping into playoff hockey.. even without a regular season..

Congrats on 100k guys

Prop bet for Steve dangle to sing the national anthem at the Frontenac game???

Holl is scary to watch skating, his contract sucks but thankfully he is our 7th D.

Congrats on 100K subs! Go Leafs!

Congrats on 100k

If Ray Bourque played in the 3v3 OT era, I think McAvoy would still have some catching up to do. Also he predated the overtime loss point where teams played for the tie more often.

100K. Congrats!

Good job once again boys ! Great episode !! Needed my therapy before we play the oilers lol

You forgot to mention Mitch hitting 600 points, the fastest player to do it in Leafs history!

The Bruins player that you guys were trying to think of was probably Matt Beleskey. He had 22 goals in 65 games with the Ducks, then 8 goals in 16 playoff games the year before becoming a UFA. His previous career high was 11 goals. The Bruins signed him for $3.8M and 5 years in 2015

Sheldon is Shanahan's last bullet. Sheldon knows it and is grasping at broken straws.

I was behind him ten rows up and screamed myself hoarse giving love to Sammy. First Leafs game since going with my Mom to watch them play Washington on Mike Palmateer's return to Toronto. Great to be there. Too bad we couldn't pull it out.

Regarding Pizza: "The term pizza was first recorded in the year 997, in a Latin manuscript from the Southern Italian town of Gaeta, in Lazio, on the border with Campania.[2] Raffaele Esposito is often credited for creating modern pizza in Naples.[3][4][5][6] In 2009, Neapolitan pizza was registered with the European Union as a traditional speciality guaranteed dish. In 2017, the art of making Neapolitan pizza was added to UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage.[7]" Wikipedia

i’m catching up on old episodes, im a BIG seattle kraken and vince dunn fan. hearing you guys talk about him makes me hopeful he’s finally getting the recognition we’ve all known he’s deserved. BUT i think the video of him in juniors with gabriel was my tweet!! at least i hope it was, a lot of people seemed to like it so it’s not out of the question that it’s my tweet you’re showing. and to me, this is my stanley cup. love you guys!!

Congrats on 100k Chris on long island

Have we finally past the point of "THAT'S SO MANY GAMES"?

The freeze bit was epic.

I think Kyle told his old buddy you need to get fired by the end of the season we need a new coach next year.

I fully expect all 3 of these guys to say they disagree with the Leafs plan anytime now lmao. Much like "You cant get rid of Kerfoot. Hes a swiss army knife" followed by "He's useless" 😂😂😂😂

I love these installments of "Goddamnit, Adam!" - I feel like this isn't the first time temperature issues went off on a tangent at Adam's expense...

Holmberg-Matty-Mitch Domi-JT-Willy Bertuzzi-Jarnkrok-Knies Gregor-Kampf-McMan/Steeves

I’m Nova Scotian and yeah we have a ton of Boston fans here. I myself am a huge Patriots and Red Sox fan I also am a Celtics fan so yeah naturally my hockey team is…. The Leafs….. yeah I know…

OMG BETTING ADVERTISMENT IS EVEN IN HOCKEY PODCAST 😭 hockey really sold their soul to gambling

Not trying to make Steve sad but as I’m watching the end of tonight’s episode, the Montréal Canadiens have beaten the Colorado Avalanche 4 to 3

As a Devils fan, it's so funny hearing you guys freak out over random, inexplicable line changes. Welcome to every other shift of the Devils under Lindy Ruff

I love watching the boys harsh on Detroit for being mid meanwhile the wings have nearly the same points and wins as the leafs this year lol. Also, the offense doesn't run through Kane. He has certainly added to it. But Larkin, Raymond, Compher, Debrincat, Perron and Sprong, Rasmussen have all had very good seasons so far. The Red Wings strength this year has been their depth. With improving defense and goalies coming down the pipeline I think the Red Wings win a cup before the leafs do. Unless the leafs get better depth and goal tending. We suffered with Larkin and perron out. Also for the leafs goalie issue. The 1/2 a/b should be Woll and Hildeby with sammy and Jones being extras.

You forget, that most teams do not have great contracts like the Makar one ;)

As an Oilers fan I can't wait for the sdpn episode on Wednesday! Good luck leafs! Ha!

Steve: "Pizza was invented in 1812 in Gary, Indiana by John Pizza"

Oh boy here we go.

Come to Peterborough!!

Good jobin

40 games in and the leafs have 13 regulation wins.

Jesse: "We're too critical of players!" Also Jesse: "Mark Giordano was an ABOMINATION!"

I used to talk to Cody Hodgson’s cousin a lot when he was playing. He said Lindy Ruff was really tough on him and thought Cody was making up injuries. I hope he does really well.

This was an all timer boys

Evan ' "Star" -Jesse Blake" ' Bouchard not being drafted by y'all during holidays was crazy

I used to work for a landscaping company in mississauga and the crew I was on worked on the Samuel family house. They own one of the steel mills in Hamilton. It would take 3 guys a full 10 hour day to cut the grass and weed the gardens.

For the record I was in the crowd on Sunday and it was pretty meager. The Sammy cheer was great but outside of that it was a pretty quiet evening.

Dunn has always been a fighter in stl. I remember a game against Chicago where he just went berserk

My parents are from New Brunswick and yeah the Irvings own everything. Coincidentally, one of our IT guys at our newspaper was part of the Irving family. His grandmother was an Irving, and he was told he didn't have to work for a living but he did anyway because he liked fixing computers.

"Buffalo Bills fans are not going to hurt you" Literally the only Bills game I went to there was a brawl that cleared out the whole 4 rows behind us because someone's girlfriend accidentally wore green (they were playing the Jets)... The staff had to come out with paper towels and try and mop up the blood on the bleachers.

Gio scored right before his tribute video in Seattle

HAPPY MONDAY

Congratulations to the city of detroit dubs all around

We need a Mad dog cam

I'm pretty sure I just watched the 100K subscriber tik over in realtime.... HELL YA?!

they can surround the core with all the toughness they want.... unless those 4 are willing to go and get dirty when needed, this team just wont win anything. they are the highest paid and spend the most amount of time on the ice.... the team flows around them. i blame keefe for his coaching with the line changes and such, but also feel for him knowing he doesnt have any real choice. they have 4 of the same type of players getting paid the big bucks... tavares isnt transitioning into a physical force... he needs to lead by example. start scrums, hit guys, be a pest... but that just isnt tavares... mathews has the body and the skill to be one of the most dominating forwards in the league... but hes not being coached that way... this team is just not built to be a serious contender... they may get lucky and win a round or 2 but thats about it. gotta move on from keefe... shouldve been keefe gone and dubas stay in the off season but this is where we are.... just floating around and hoping for the best..... not good enough.

My Mike Duncan sense is tingling, if Adam isn't listening to Revolutions, he should be.

Btw, Ondrej Kase is playing regularly in Czech league this year with 37 points in 33 games so far. He's actually healthy. Maybe he could manage to come back to the NHL at some point.

Honestly, I went to a Bruins vs Flyers game in Philly when I lived there for a year. I got some chirps, but we were having so much fun chirping back and forth. But I would NEVER wear a Pats jersey to an Eagles vs Pats game. It's two totally different experiences.

Pens are apparently only doing tribute videos for cup winners moving forward.

Incredible. An even more drunk Leafs fan comes to Producer Drew's defense after a drunk Leafs fan was bothering him. The even more drunk Leafs fan did not like bullies. What a wholesome story.

Contract over dangle

Pizza was invented in Naples Italy.

Maybe the leafs should pay another player 11+ million dollars, perhaps that will help them win

If you want to learn about the Maritime business families that ran over Bay Street, you should read "The Codfathers: Lessons From the Atlantic Business Elite" by Gordon Pitts.

Canadian teens will always be at a disadvantage when it comes to negotiating salaries due to the different tax breaks/brackets in Canada versus the states

Any prospect that the leafs have except minten and Cowan can be used in trades even prospects like abruzzesse steeves abramov Hildeby neimela

43:45 for the best laugh ever lol

there's a channel called District 5 and the dude stuck up for cutter gauthier and went OFF on the Flyers staff, with legit stuff i haven't heard about the situation anywhere else

An all timer pod! Steve is, as usual, bang on 🤣

Ondrej Kase did not cost a first round pick. He was the consolation prize for The Bruins paying a 1st to get rid of most of David Backes's contract.

I will now always refer to Nikita kucherov as Nakoota Keecherov. Thanks Jess

pizza was invented in Naples Italy. it was made for the king and queens visiting as it was originally crust tomato, mozzie cheese, basil leaf the ingredients represented the colors of the flag

JD Bunkis felt pretty strong that Sammy was getting the bronx cheer at the start of the game. Im not sure

It was the mansion behind the Keg that was supposedly haunted. A lot of the first " Urban Legends " movie was shot there. Worked on that set for months and was in every room; never saw a ghost. There was a murder on the property way back evidently. I did have a lovely conversation with Robert Englund ( famous as Freddy Krueger ) while he was covered in blood after being murdered in a scene. Good times!

1:13:15 I’m pretty sure the guy you’re thinking of is Marcus johanssen

lets go marlies

3 point system. 1-8 play-offs. Rename "Conference Finals" "Stanley Cup Semi-finals" and re-seed at this point. If the two best teams are in the same division, they should be mathematically unable to play each other before the Stanley Cup Final. Not meet in the 2nd round like they do now.

LOL STEVE WANTS TO BLOW IT UP?! nice. can't wait for more years like 2013/14

Can't disagree more with Adam on Torts in Vancouver. He chased Luongo out of town. That's his MO.

Copp has 21 points in 42 games as a third liner... That's a crap season Jesse? Jarnkrok (who I think is awesome) has 19 points in 41 games.... So ummmm.... Max Domi... 23 points in 41 games... ok seasons instead of crap??

Steve loves make excuses for every team but the leafs, the situations were basically identical, both teams had the same game postponed interrupting their prep, both teams were playing In front of a shaky goalie. Jesse 2 good shots dont make up for like 6 giveaways and terrible dump ins almost every play died in the offensive zone on his stick. Oilers were trash for 2 months and recovered stop freaking out. Colorado won a cup they are held to a different standard somehow people forget that. No one scores like Matthews as consistently, Mackinnon is not anywhere near Matthews defensively he's dynamic on the rush and has some fantastic passers and a strong forecheck, Matthews doesn't have the same, we need more for less yes, but we don't get the discounts because we don't have the coach or team with the pedigree.

I live in Saint John, New Brunswick, and the Irving family literally owns everything. My dad's friend hated the Irvings so much that he would throw his dog's poop on their lawn. Unfortunately, he's dead now.

when lekky and landy comes back the avs will be hoisting the cup again.

What would the cap hit be for Makar, MacKinnon, Rantanen, Toews played for the leafs? Mackinnon would be 14+

Can you guys start a Toronto PWHL fan react? - commenting this before watching
