LFR17 - Round 1, Game 1 - Snot - Maple Leafs 1, Bruins 5 

Steve: I don't even know who you are. Beecher: You will

Beecher is awesome. If you called me before the series, I could have told you to watch out for him. He busts his ass every night.

As someone who lives in Boston and is a die hard fan, I love watching you Steve. Give me a point of view of how all leafs fans are reacting to these games

At least you didn't lose to a 42 year old zamboni driver who works for the Leafs. :)

“The Leafs are cosplaying as a playoff hockey team”

The salaries of the Bruins goal scorers combined is less than Auston Matthews alone. Just a fun fact.

This classic rant should be played in the leafs dressing room right before Mondays game. TRUTH

Clearly Domi inherited his father's unparalleled ability to take dumb penalties

Came here for the screaming, stayed for the screaming.

Keefe: this year is different Steve: It Is Snot!

"Details" - probably the most accurate analysis of what is missing from the Leafs.

I’ve watched the Lightning for a long time. Stamkos has always been one of the hardest working guys on the ice. He was never a PPG player in the playoffs. But he was always part of some of the biggest moments in games. When he takes a slap shot from big Z to the face in 2011 and CAME BACK to finish the game after having his face deconstructed and put back together. In 2020 he came back for one game played two shifts less than 5 minutes and got the FIRST goal of the game. The bench was electric after that, we won the game 5-2 and then the series. Stamkos proved he’s that guy several times leading up to the Bolts’ cup wins. I haven’t see these moments from Matthews, Marner or Tavares.

The TD garden thing was spot on. These guys will blame anything but themselves

Top 5 most expensive things Jeremy Swayman owns: 1. The Toronto Maple Leafs

Props to Matthews, being honorable about the high stick, he practically emailed the refs telling them he did that. Strategically stupid, but very sportsmanlike. I'm talking about how he immediately looked back like "OOPS". Definitely accidental, definitely a clean player.

"Is Twitter in the room with us right now?" omfg, I'm dying 😂

Wasnt going to bed until i saw this video

I’m almost 37 now... I only have a few good years left before they find me wandering down the street in my underwear, looking for my cat who’ll probably have been dead for 20 years by then... But I’ll still know better than to get my hopes up waiting for this team.

Props to Beecher from a Habs fan. He looks great out there on the ice.

The frustration of that game is so immense that poor Steve already has a five o’clock shadow.

6:34 make this apart of the intro next season

To the ones complaining it was because they were without Nylander and McMann: the bruins gutted their entire forward core (Bergeron, Krejci, Bertuzzi, Taylor Hall) and did nothing to improve it in the off-season. Not to mention one of their best playoff performers is NOW A LEAF. You just witnessed a Jake Debrusk masterclass.

I am 63 year old man . I live in a small city in Southern Ontario. I have watched hockey since I was a kid. I seen in 1993 Montreal win the Stanley Cup and then Bettman became the president of the NHL. Then everything changed. My dad was born in 1908. He said the game will be fixed from now on. No Canadian team will be allowed to win the cup.. After all Bettman is determined to grow the game in the USA. I won't even watch a game anymore. I watch Junior hockey, At least the best team wins in those games. Take advice from a guy that has been around for a while. This stress is going to give you a heart attack, Your children and wife need you. Prove me wrong on this,

Matthews was also won 27% of his faceoffs tonight, another big issue for this team

6:35 bro starts a W rant

the domi penalty was so funny because it took exactly two seconds for the puck to be in play AWAY from Domi for him to straight up slash a Bruin for absolutely no reason. the puck wasn’t even by him. it’s fucking hilarious.

As an habs fan, when I saw you guys get Edmundson I thought to myself "Oh, ok this is an interesting move, he's a couple years older than during our run but he had been a fking cinder block and very underrated imo". Then first thing I see is Reeves taking him out of the play by wanting to be "gritty and greasy" for that first goal and I was like....oh man, my poor man Joel...you're on a team with headless chickens skating around.

Went to bed after the 2nd goal. The outcome was predictable and these fucks hurt my heart. Thankful next week I’ll be working in a location with no cable and shit internet.

The Leafs looked liked they were focused more on trying to prove they were tougher than Boston rather than playing good hockey. Physicality is good so long as you're smart. The Leafs weren't. I love Domi but before the puck was dropped he was cross-checking and slashing like crazy. Eventually, the refs had enough of him. That can't happen again.

6:33 that’s going in the LFR18 intro.

As a NYI fan, I hate-watched this to make me feel better about our game 1 loss. It helped, thanks.

First work break this morning, had to look this up immediately. Sorry Steve! Rough one! Long Series to go though bruh!

damn man, what a brutal game to watch that was

It’s that time of year again folks, welcome back lmao

I laughed out loud when I went to check the score and it was 4-0 before the end of the 2nd lol.

I'm a canes fan but the Leafs are my second team now because of you. Thank you for making the stream available in the US so I could watch along with the live feed on TV! It was fun even with the outcome of the game... and the time when my internet went down because of a thunderstorm and the stream just kept repeating "tell all your friends.... tell all your friends..." for about a solid minute because of it lol

Steve holds back during the live streams lol This is the Steve we need

I wanna say we're in for an all-timer here, but the next 3 after this will probably top this one

I watched the first period of the game, with no dog in the race (go caps) and my impression was that the leafs were "overheating" with the physicality. They didn't throw hits to make a play, they threw hits to throw hits. And that cost them when they allowed the 2 on 1 leading to the first goal. Hope they can do better in the second game and be physical when needed and not just for the sake of it.

Game 1: Swayman - 97.2 save pct. Samsonov - 82.6 save pct!! I think I found the problem. You are welcome Leafs management.

Neutral fan here. I agree with Steve the leafs didn’t play a terrible hockey game. They were competitive at 5v5 at least the first two periods and they shit the bed on some chances that they definitely should’ve scored. But the thing about snot or grit definitely rings true as someone who didn’t watch the leafs that much in regular season and basing my take on just this game. The leafs’ idea of grit seems to be to just take a bunch of penalties which makes you lose the game instantly because, shocker, playoff teams have good power plays. Playing with grit is about fighting to turn pucks over and giving good chances and space to your scorers, and that’s really not what the leafs were doing this game. Now for a little tangent, Reaves to me is a perfect example of the kind of player that maintains the image of playing with grit but who doesn’t really bring any of those benefits to his team when you look at how he actually plays. But that’s just my subjective opinion as a hater.

Oh boy was waiting for this

I'll say it again, these guys don't hate to lose

As a Bruins fan it was fun watching your stream and i plan on watching it again this entire serious.

Steve is so upset he turned into Seth Rogen

Took a while for this one to drop, I was starting to get worried. Good to see you’re taking it well Steve

33k views already! Great job sdpn!!

Will Keefe coach in Pitsburgh next year?

Love this time of year

Watching you meltdown is the best part of being a Bruins fan 😂

I think David Kampf is actually the one Leafs player who excels during the playoffs as opposed to reg season. Unfortuately he is a 4rth line player so his elevation goes unnoticed. Nylander also seems to play well during the playoffs.

Even as a Bruins fan I don't know how we own the Leafs so much. Our team isn't even that good this year at all. We are hoping to win one round maybe two. But I think the grittiness of the Bruins is just always too much for the sophisticated big names of the Leafs.

AWESOME WORK BRO, THANKS!!! GREETINGS FROM HELSINKI, FINLAND🇫🇮🇨🇦🇫🇮🇨🇦

Poor Steve. Only three more of these videos for the year. 😢

Jake DeBrusk: ohhh... you think snot is your ally? You merely adopted the snot. I was born in it, molded by it. I mean... have you met my dad?

Based on how they played tonight, I’m not sure “Round 1” was necessary in the title…

Got my popcorn. *sits back to enjoy*

That was perfect Steve! Well said.

Love your videos. Awesome to see your channel grow. Been following you for years now. Pulling for the leafs lol. Pens fan for life but still

In a perfect world, the Leafs will do the following in the next two years, 1. Rebuild their blue line 2. Get JT’s contract off their books 3. Develop Minten and Cowan so they make it to the show Then we can talk about contending.

This one was particularly funny. Thanks Steve

How is Sheldon Keefe going to be able to afford getting his haircut everyday after he gets fired?

How many series games are going to go like this before Shannahan realizes that our fundamental systems are flawed? This is like Groundhog day watching this team losing in the playoffs. He needs to go.

No sleep squad checking in

The deserve to win o meter might as well be renamed “High grade copium dose”

Before game 1 on twitter tons of leafs fans were pointing to the bruins lines and asking “we should be scared of this *insert bottom 2 lines*” and my answer was. Yes. The bottom 6 is filled with just hard working guys, they dont put up points but they work hard in the corner and will lay there body on the line every shift no matter what and that’s exactly what will kill a top heavy team like the leafs. Getting out worked by #15 on the roster. U dont win playoff games by scoring 15 goals a game, u win by working hard in the corners and fighting for the extra second infront in a close 3-2 game and the leafs just dont have those guys

I was having a rough day. This made me smile

Coming from the Low Quality Bruins Fan side of things to the Steve Dangle side of things is some serious whiplash

Domi really jumped right into his 2023 Western Conference Final form in game 1.

I think what drove me crazy the most is how many times a leave would pass or receive a pass while standing still. It just makes it easy to close gaps and block lanes when people stand still.

I shouldn’t take this much joy from this reaction 😁

Ever thought that when these guys are getting paid 10 million plus a year they might just not care about the Stanley cup. Why would they when they could be on vacation

Death, Taxes, and the Leafs

These post-game rants are the only thing that I can console myself with after a loss.

Wow, great call about Beecher. Good insight as usual.

I STAYED UP JUST CAUSE I HATE THE LEAFS ⛳️

Shanahan and the rest of his stooges should be docked their salary for every loss.

As a bruins fan Mr Dangle i can respect your love for your team in fact your passion gor the leafs and nhl drew me in

Wow, Low Quality sent me here and I cant thank him enough. That was wonderful.

This is an instant classic.

And let the therapy session begin! Dr. Steve Dangle presiding!

This video is already #4 on trending, that’s proof that everyone was patiently waiting for this “reaction”

As Bruins fan, my take on this game was that Toronto was scared of getting hit and played like it.

They were so busy trying to show everyone how tough they were they forgot to actually play hockey... and an .826 SV % aint gonna win many hockey games.

The grays in Steve's beard multiplying by the minute with this team and thier endless stress...😂

The Bruins came to play "playoff hockey" and Leafs came like a regular season game where mistakes don't really matter.

That loss was 1000% on Sheldon. How the heck does he not tell his players to "STOP TRYING TO OUT MUSCLE OR GET UNDER THERE SKIN" they tried so hard to be the bruins and they sucked

Not expecting much in the playoffs as was demonstrated tonight. I was born in 1953. I am looking forward to the start of the season in October and the moves that are made in the summer to make the team capable of winning a Stanley Cup. Does any know if Tavares contract is up July 1st this year? Marner do you sign him before July 1st with a movement clause and trade him or let him walk?

I had no expectations of this team making a run this year. And still watching game 1 was brutal! This one is over in 4 maybe 5.

Great game Steve!

lately it seems that when Marner is trying to make a pass he always puts it into opposing teams skates.

16:10 love how he doesn't mention Mcdavid

After losing their 2 top centers to retirement Boston sure knew how to fill those slots. Their system is very good. Looking forward to a 1st round Bruins win.

Just a team that doesn’t want to play playoff hockey where there is more contact, urgency, and you don’t score cute goals.

All these Bruins fans must have forgot about their 1st round last year hey?

Get those golf clubs ready!!😂

Not a leaf fan not by a country mile but I do appreciate Mr Dangle guy is a gem keep doing what your doing from a habs fan 👊

John Beecher channels his inner Sean Kuraly. As I recall, the last Bruins - Leafs playoff game started with the 4th line center posting the opening goal. [I know Beecher is listed as a winger, but he takes the faceoffs, then rotates to the wing because he is good at puck battles on the boards]

MacKinnon is a lights out, no quit player. I would take him over any player in the league.
