LFR16 - Round 1, Game 6 - Demon Slayer - Maple Leafs 2, Lightning 1 (OT) 

This video has literally been years in the making. I’m so happy for Steve lmao it’s been quite a journey.

Seriously how can every subscriber not be extremely happy for this guy? Doesn’t matter who we root for. This guy has given us great content throughout it all. Congrats bud.

I'm not even a leafs fan and I legit screamed from happiness when that puck crossed the line in OT. I'm legit so happy for you Steve and (most) leafs fans.

Congrats Leafs fans from a die hard Habs fan. You guys are loyal as hell and I respect you for that

This win easily put an extra 10 years on Steve's lifespan.... extremely happy for all of us Leafs fan :)

It’s actually insane that this is your first chance to make this video.

As a Bruins fan, congratulations, guys. Seriously, I wasn't watching the game, but I got the "series final" notification and *I* started screaming because I was so excited. Go be insane, celebrate, ignore the "They're acting like they just won the cup lol" people. You guys deserve it after this long. I'm looking at these celebrations in downtown Toronto and they're making me jealous that I'm not there and its not even my team lol. My only regret is that *we* didn't make it past the first round, a Bruins-Leaf round two would have been mental. Congrats Leafs fans.

I cannot express how happy it makes me to see Steve this excited. He's wanted this for sooo long and been sooo passionate. It's infectious.

when the puck crossed the line I just stood up and cried.. DOWNTOWN TORONTO WAS A MOVIE IT WAS CRAZY idk what happens when we win the cup..

"I picked the worst time in human history to start a RU-vid series" And some of us have been with you almost the entire way, Steve. It's the passion that unites us all. LEEEEEETTTT'SS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Congrats to all of Leafs Nation. As a Bolts fan, it was tough to feel like we were the better team in every game except for game two, but that pales in comparison to your frustrations. Here's to a deep playoff run and hope y'all enjoy it. Cheers 🍻

I'm a Red Wings fan and this man over the course of over a decade has made me have a soft spot for the Leafs. I was bouncing off the walls watching them win it last night.

For a bunch of reasons, I have been dead inside for ages. This win has reignited a spark deep inside me. The Leafs were frankly the major bond between my father and I. He died in 2001. Why does this one round win mean so much to me? Because it does.

Being a Kings fan it’s a tough night but seeing Steve finally see the leafs in the second round make you feel the pain of 19 years makes me happy for him

Congrats to the Leafs. As someone who waited 52 years to see his team win their first Stanley Cup, I’m so happy for you. And Steve, your reference to Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie raises my respect for you.

As a Capitals fan who has also been traumatized by game 7 multiple times this is what I felt when we made our cup run. I really hope that this is the Leafs year cuz I’d love to see them do it!!

Oilers fan here. Tonight was a good night for Canada as a whole! Even though I’m not a Leafs fan, I’m happy for y’all! Here’s to hoping we meet you guys in the finals! Enjoy the win! Cheers! 🍻

As a Caps fan this was how we felt when we beat Pittsburgh in 2018. A huge relief a huge rush of joy and I want y'all to ride it for as far as it goes! Congrats Leafs!

I've never been so excited to see an LFR and, as always, Steve, you delivered. Thank you for being there with us and for us, and for being a a top class ambassador for Leafs fans everywhere. I'm convinced your success online has directly contributed to other fanbases coming around to this team. Much love from a fellow Ajax resident

He deserved every second of this video, this was almost 20 years in the making and I’m so excited to see what the leafs do with the rest of the playoffs

Seeing his passion for them winning makes me tear up. He deserves this. The Leafs deserve this

Lightning fan here, as much as it sucks to lose, this video reminds me of how good it feels to win. You guys have an amazing team and made the plays when it matter most. It may take a few days, but I’m sure many of us Bolts fans will be pulling for you guys vs the Panthers/Bruins. Good Luck!

STEVE WORKS SO FRICKEN HARD FOR US!! WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE STEVES REACTION. He deserves it!!!

Congrats to the leafs players and staff from a dejected but satisfied Bolts fan here! I made my peace with the thought that we probably wouldn’t go deep these playoffs and I’m glad it was the leafs that get to move on. Yes it stings, especially because we were the better team for the majority of the series but this team has brought me so much happiness the last 10 years or so, I understand my boys could really use a long summer rest to recover and come back stronger. Wishing the leafs a deep run, make us proud to lose to you ;) And hey, maybe a Blue Series 3.0 next playoffs perhaps??!!!

Dear Leafs fans. I know how you feel today. I'm a Caps fan. And when Kuzy scored in OT, back in 2018, to finally, finally, beat Pitts , slaying their demons and advancing to the conference finals for only 2nd time in their history, and first time in Ovi era, I felt as deliriously joy filled as you Leaf fans do today. Congrats to you all ...and Enjoy it!

"Can I hug you" gave producer Drew a heart attack when he had to try and figure out how to edit that 😂😂

As a Blues fan, this was how we felt in 2016 when we beat the Blackhawks in 7. Too bad that team couldn't go all the way. Good luck to the Leafs, but congrats to the fans 👏

We ARE worthy!!! Such a great LFR!!! As a 65 year old Leafs fan, who saw them WIN THE CUP live at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1963 and 1967, and get to the final 4 in 1993, I can honestly say THIS victory tonight felt almost as good. Such a huge relief, and such pride in our team. And, like you, I felt watching that handshake line was incredibly moving. Such respect. Seeing Vasilevskiy hug Sammy was SO wonderful. IT’S SUCH A FANTASTIC FEELING!!!

Not sure I've ever been happier for somebody I've never met. Congrats, Steve & all Leaf fans! I know you've been waiting for this one.

Not even a Leafs fan and still shed a few happy tears when that puck finally went in 😃 super happy for Leafs fans, you guys earned it!

As a Sens season ticket holder, I'm really happy for Steve and Leafs fans. Enjoy this guys!

As a Tampa Bay fan I want to give my full hearted congrats to the Leafs, WELL DONE! Good luck the rest of the way. And Steve, thanks for the kind words you passed on about the Lightning, I appreciated it.

Samsonov played great for the Leafs, he was rock solid

I'm just here to say that usually I belong to the group of people who comes here to see your misery and madness whenever the Leafs fail again, but even though I hoped for a different outcome, I'm really happy for you Steve! The dedication you put into your team and this channel is insane and if anyone deserves this it is you! So I hope this becomes one of your most successful videos because people need to see how passion and dedication for a thing you love can be rewarded! PS: Now have fun with a second round EXIT! ;)

After you and all other leafs fans have been through since 04 they deserve this victory. Even as a Habs fan I'm still extremely happy for leafs fans especially you steve. It's been quite the journey the last few years leading up to this moment

That "OH NO, THEY HAVE A ONE NOTHING LEAD???" segment was brilliant. Loved it. Congrats Leafs! Congrats Steve. Way to hang in there.

From an Avs fan - congrats to all Leafs fans and Steve Dangle personally, you've earned it!

As a Panthers fan, congratulations to Steve and all leafs fans. I know exactly how it felt when Florida won a round last year, the elation was overwhelming Edit: it will be Toronto vs my Panthers. Good luck and may the best team win

Even as a Tampa fan, I'm happy for you. Sooooo many years in the making. Biggest LFR episode ever. The only episode larger than this one is a cup win. GG Toronto

All of our trade deadline acquisitions came up huge this series but i just wanted to bring attention to how much of a BEAST Jake McCabe is. The hits, the passes, the defending, the amount of times he got the puck out of our zone and into the offensive zone. Huge standout for me. Honestly im just so proud of the entire lineup. Everyone showed up.

Lightning fan here. It was a hell of a series. I’m happy for you guys. I really am. Go on and win the popcorn maker!

Bruins fan here. I saw your reaction to when the game winner was scored by JT and it almost brought a tear to my eye. I’m genuinely happy for you Steve, and the rest of Leafs nation! Congratulations on moving on and killing the demons! Don’t forget, still a ways to go. Hope to see you in the next round!

Congrats to Leafs Nation. As a lifelong Cubs fan, the euphoria is something else when your team finally does something.

I have been waiting for this reaction video since LITERALLY the moment Tavares scored the overtime goal and it doesn’t disappoint! 😂 I’m so happy for you!!!

I held it together last night, but after watching this, and reading the comments full of grace and genuine well-wishing of so many Bolts fans, I'm almost crying. This win has been a long time coming, but we're only 25% done. LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!!!

Not only did the Leafs end their 18 year jinx, this vid cracked Steve's top 10. During the pandemic he looked at his top 10 and there wasn't one victory in it. Now he's got one

From a Rangers fan, I am so happy for ya team Steve! History was made last night! Enjoy every little second of it cause you guys deserve it man!

I started pursuing a career in Sports Media because of Steve Dangle. And as a Bruins fan I always respected the respect that even after every heartbreak he showed the Bruins fans and the team themselves. I’m going into year 5 of my post secondary because of the covid pause and I still have a minimum of 3 years left, maybe 4. Steve inspired me to stick with it and not give up on my dream because after all, he never gave up on making these videos after it would have been so easy to do so. Congrats man, I am genuinely so happy for you

Seattle fan here. Congrats to Steve Dangle and all the Leafs fans that had to go through all of the failures and shortcomings . Having something similar with my Mariners I know it feels like the best thing in the world to finally put a bad streak away. It’s something that will stick with you forever! Congratulations again !

I'm so happy for you Steve Dangle!! Fans like you deserve this type of joy so much!! Good luck to the Leafs in Round 2!!

Not a Leafs fan, but I'm really happy for Steve and the Fandom. After the last season final video I felt the pain in Steve's voice so this feels good to see him so excited. Congrats on making the 2nd round Leafs nation.

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!! LETS GO STEVE AND LEAFSNATION!!! FIRST TIME IN MY ENTITE LIFE THEY MAKE THE SECOND ROUND!! (Born april 6, 2004) THIS HAS BEEN IN THE MAKING FOR YEARS NOW! let’s finish the job now! Go leafs go

Steve is such a good dude, it even warms this Wings fan's heart seeing the joy Steve is experiencing right now.

I was anticipating a banger LFR, & you didn’t disappoint. Congrats & good luck to your Leafs.

Congratulations!. Oilers fan here. It would be a dream come true to have an all Canadian finals! Super happy for my eastern family members and friends for seizing this series and lifting the curse! Enjoyed the game and then the icing on the top was Oilers winning the series against the diving LAK's in the next broadcast game.

How can you not watch this with the absolute biggest smile on your face? So happy for you, the buds and Leafs Nation!!!

I found Steve about 10 years ago and he quickly became a regular presence in my life. Glad to see him finally get a series win, and I'm hoping for much more this year.

I think this is your best video yet. The passion, sincerity, and comedy all come through. Incredibly cathartic.

MY MAN STEVE DANGLE!!! I’ve been waiting for this video to drop!! Congratulations are definitely in order!!

I still remember seeing Marner's and Matthew's face in the locker room in the All or Nothing series after they lost that series to the Habs. I'm so happy the boys finally have something to cheer about!

From a Lightning fan, congrats Steve/Toronto! If we had to lose, I'm okay with it being to Toronto. Such a passionate fanbase deserves to see some success. Who knows, maybe this is the year. Boston, even if they win game 7, certainly doesn't seem invincible. The path to the cup feels wide open right now.

Leafs Nation is so huge...Go Leafs Go chants were heard at the Cole Harbour Superstore at 10am...the morning after a round 1 series clinching win. The passion is everywhere and we are in!!

As a Bolts fan, enjoy it Leafs fans, you deserve it. And hey, look at it this way, you haven’t lost a Round 2 series in 19 years.

Every true leafs fan deserves this night. Hopefully more moments like this

Steve's reaction to the Leafs advancing to the second is the best part of the Leafs advancing to the second round.. congrats to all Leafs fans! I hope yall go all the way!

Finally was able to watch this Sunday afternoon. So happy for Steve! Can't wait to see those second round videos for LFR!!

Was waiting for this as soon as JT scored the winner! Happy for you Steve! And as a Leafs fan I’m SO excited to see what happens in the next round! Go Leafs Go!

I am die hard Boston fan and I am soooo happy for you Steve. Your joy is just contagious. 🎉👍Congrats Leafs!

As a lifelong Sabres fan, I'm just gonna say this. Yes, I usually cheer against the Leafs. But seeing them win tonight, I was just so happy for Leafs nation, and Steve in particular, that I am unashamed as a Sabres fan to say I wanted the Leafs to win, for many reasons but I'll just state two of them here: I wanted to see a different team then the Lightning advance (you had your time in the spotlight TB, in plenty of sports I may add) and secondly, I WANTED TO SEE THIS VIDEO AND STEVE'S WELL DESERVED JUBILATION!!! I started watching this channel since the (in)famous 42 year old Zamboni driver video, so I haven't been here too long, but this video, I am all here for it! Congrats Leafs, and congratz Steve!!! Relish the moment!!!

I'm 26 been a leafs fan since 6 years old. Lfg!!! So glad you finally got to make this video.

We’ve been waiting a long time for this video and it was fire 🔥

So happy for Leafs fans! Lessens the sting a bit of my Kings getting knocked out tonight. Rooting for you guys the rest of the way!

From a red wings fan, sincere congratulations dude! I know you’ve been living for this moment for a long time. Savor this moment boss!

I knew this was gonna be EPIC, but the first minute was better than I even expected it to be.

I was watching the stream, and I could tell you were holding in tears when celebrating after that OT goal. It gave me goosebumps seeing your reaction. Happy for you and can’t wait for LFR round 2 videos! 🎉🍁🇨🇦

I have been watching this Channel since LFR 3 game 6, Living in Pittsburgh and not willing to pay for center ice this channel has been my way of keeping up with the team from some really damn dark days to this moment right here! The absolute emotion i feel from this video is just incalculable! GO LEAFS GO

I’m not sure if I’m a Leafs fan or not, but I am absolutely a Steve fan, and I am so happy for him I keep tearing up.

I wanted this win for no other reason than for you to have it, pal. My Avs and Canes are still dancing, but this night belongs to you. Thank you for the passion, the laughs, and the love for this sport for so many years, my man. Congratulations. Enjoy this. You earned it.

already nearly 100k views in 10 hours. Steve i can’t express how happy i am for you as someone who barely knew about the leafs history before i started watching you (i think my first video was david ayers lmao) and i have been solely hoping the leafs win for you. you deserve it man.

3:38 _"Wow, I'm really sweaty. Guess I better scream again!"_ -stev dangel I know it was probably just a funny edit from Drew, but I love that bit all the same.

20:32-26:48. This part hits hard after so many years of failure. Cudos to all the fans who stuck around!

After all the blood, sweat and tears (for which there has been plenty) of the past 16 years, this man deserves this. I am so happy for you Steve.

Been waiting for a long time for you to make this LFR.

Congrats Steve! I’m one of those guys who’s not a Leafs fan, but every playoffs for the last I don’t even remember how many years, I’d come here and watch you and your reviews after every loss. It was my tradition, like Christmas! I don’t hate you or hate TML, it’s just you are the most interesting fan and express your feelings in a unique way. Even my wife knows you know, she is like, oh, this screaming guy again, probably lost again, huh? So this year it’s a different story and I’m happy for you and the Leafs. Keep going! Good luck and congrats again!

As a Blues fan who got super emotional when we won the cup. I hope that you get to experience that. This video and all its joy is a reminder that it doesn’t all have to be doom and gloom and even the Leafs can bring some joy to people

As a Montreal Canadien fan, I want to say I'm genuinely thrilled for good MapleLeaf fans and especially you Steve...mio cumpa! Well deserved; enjoy it and go get the next one too! 👍 🎉

I love seeing Steve smile! I’ve been here since the beginning of his channel. Watching the game yesterday I wanted to hug Steve.

So happy for you Steve and for the fan base! I was a disappointed Devils fan last night, but after the game I had to throw on my Leafs jersey and celebrate that OT winner. Getting ready for the first ever second round LFR coverage

I was born in 2004. It's insane to finally see the Leafs win a series. Happy for you Steve! You deserve it!!

I have been watching Steve since I was 11. I am 21 years old now. Watched hundreds of episodes of the podcast, never missed one. Never missed a LFR win or lose. And after last night I watched this whole video with tears in my eyes because of how long this has been. This is my first time ever in my life on this earth that I will see the leafs move on. This teams means more to us and this win means the world. I’m excited to continue watching the LFR for the 2nd round. Go leafs go 💙💙💙💙 love you all

So happy for leafs fans and you specifically. I'm going to enjoy this in your honor. What a great series, hopefully they can keep going.

Man I really really hope they can go all the way because we need more of Steve's pure joy. As a 36 year old Pens fan I have been absolutely spoiled for the most part my entire life with hockey and I got emotional after they won the cup in 09 because of all the turmoil in the late 90's early 2000's of the team possibly being moved. I know you'll never have to deal with the team possibly moving but I could never imagine the playoff drought being the way it's been in the kind of pain you guys have been going through with Enjoy it and I hope for a Leafs cup this year

My Kings lost last night, but I was following along with the Leafs and Rangers too. I gotta say, I jumped out of my seat when that goal went in. I'm rooting for you guys and the Rangers. Good luck Leafs nation.

Steve, as a Finnish Leafs fan like many other games, I wasn't able to watch this game in real time. Instead I watched in the morning on the train from Helsinki to Tampere. A huge and sincere thank you to you for doing the streams. I always do my best to avoid any spoilers in the morning after a Leafs game, that's how much watching the games with you commentating and reacting over them cheers me up. So again, thank you.

Congrats to The Maple Leafs so proud of you guys

Thank you Steve. Always love the passion in these videos and this one feels extra good. GLG!

Sammy's celebration makes me smile. He was the mvp of tonight's game.

As a Canucks fan who loves the Dangle freak outs, I’m super happy for you and for Leafs Nation tonight. We’ll done Leafs!

Genuinely could not wait to see this video. I'm really happy for you, Steve.

Awesome video. Very happy for you and all leaf nation.
