LFR17 - Round 1, Game 7 - Eulogy - Maple Leafs 1, Bruins 2 (OT) 

Petition to add “DO YOU HAVE A HUMILIATION KINK!!!” to LFR 18 Intro

Time for the yearly update: 2013: Bos-Stunned 2017: Pain 2018: Bos-Stunned Redux 2019: This Team Is Ruining My Life 2020: Done 2021: Words 2022: The Fog 2023: Miracles 2024: Eulogy

Go look at 3:01 on his Game 4 video for this series. He said: “History suggests, they’ll string you along for another week, and then blow it again, IN BOSTON!” This man knew what was coming

These old videos from 2018 are great.

The amazing tradition that is all hockey fans coming together to watch this man’s high pitched squeal rants after every Leafs collapse is potentially unrivalled in sports

Story of this series is 1-21 on the power play, 2 full periods worth of 5v4 hockey and scoring just once. It got to the point where Boston taking a penalty meant time to go take a piss because nothing will be missed.

Steve, as a Bruins fan, I sincerely thank you for what is quickly turning into an annual tradition. You'll get us someday, bud.

I superchatted this during the game 6 livestream: "Road to Leafs fan recovery- every year they miss the playoffs or get bounced in the 1st, remove some memorabilia from your room. They either succeed or you're eventually free from the pain of being a fan of this team." He hissed at the diabolical idea.... I wonder where he stands on it now.

Death, Taxes, and Steve Dangle Game 7 loss videos

Mitch Marner has 2 goals in the last 16 playoff games. John Tavares has 2 goals in his last 16 playoff games as well. Auston Matthews has 1 goal in his last 10 playoff games.

Has a star defenseman ever received more of a pass than Reilly for falling asleep on the OT goal?

I’m a lifelong Caps fan. I feel for you guys. This literally reminded me of the Caps Rangers game 7 in 2015. We won the cup 3 years later. This was the hardest I’ve seen the Leafs play in the postseason. Some changes are necessary but I hope they keep Domi and Bertuzzi. They helped set the tone. I’ve never seen a leafs team battle that hard for space on the ice. These failures will make that day you win the cup worth it.

Jim Montgomery and Mike Babcock coming together like the avengers to stop the leafs in game 7 again lol

The good news is Steve called it. Before the playoffs started, Steve called BOS in 7 games.

The Leafs always getting bounced from the playoffs is the gift that will never stop giving.

Thank you for acknowledging the overtime goal from Pasta. It was a great 1st round battle! 🤝

The losses with Samsonov in net saw Toronto score 1, 2, 1, and 1. If you require prime J.S. Giguere in net to do a damn thing your problems lie somewhere beyond the goal crease.

I was just about to give up and sleep… Thank you Steve

Honestly guys, this is what we needed, hard as it is. There's no coming back from that and everyone knows it. The zombies are put in the grave where they belong, and we can all properly mourn and MOVE ON from something we all wanted to believe in so bad but we have to let go because its just not meant to be. The flip side of this is that things actually get kind of exciting now. Real, big changes are finally coming for this team and Im here for it. If you can manage to get marner and tavares off the books, plus brodie, samsonov, klingberg, etc, you're talking about more than 30 million in cap space with the cap projected to go up significantly as well. Thats more than enough to go out and get a great veteran goaltender to insulate Woll and a true number one defenceman, and have plenty left to build a complimentary core around matthews, nylander, knies, cowan and minten. I honestly think the future is really bright for this team, but they had to lose like this, AGAIN, for it to finally happen. Go Leafs Go

This is an annual tradition. I always love this one. From a Bruin Die hard to you Steve, please keep up the great job. As a sports fan, I feel your pain but you do it in a hilarious fashion.

I'm a bruins fan, and you have no idea how much I wish there was someone like you for my team. Do a great job Steve, see you next game 7 in the Garden!

The “I’m not nuts!!” hammer toss is so epically Dangle. 😂

I found your page at the beginning of this series and as a bruins fan was smugly enjoying game 1,3 commentary. Though watched put the rest of your takes and thoroughly enjoyed the perspective. Great series

Leafs have not beat the Bruins since 1959. Woll possibly got injured trying to save his shutout during Game 6. Goal scored at 19:59:59. We are living in a Simulation.

I'm here to pay Steve's organic banana budget for the month.

I love the running bit of “Why does he have a hammer?” “Why do you ask so many nosy questions?”

Mature Red Sox fan here... Steve my guy, I can surely empathize with you regarding the loses... someday my guy... someday... the Leafs will raise that Cup and you'll be there at the forefront saying "I KNEW IT THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN!!" Hang in there my guy... maybe next year? Who knows.

1967, when network television still wasn’t in color, America was still in Vietnam, nobody had ever landed on the moon yet, the Beatles were still together, MLK was still alive, and there were only six teams in the NHL. That all folks…

40mins 13 seconds.. almost the longest LFR in recorded history.. well deserved as well

Steve, not gonna lie, I’m a Habs die-hard who was the typical only-watch-to-see-Steve-rage viewer for a long time. for whatever reason, though, this season, I watched every single one of your LFRs. maybe it’s because there’s entertainment value in every video, even if it isn’t raging anger; maybe it’s because you’re more eloquent and expressive than most sports content creators. but really, I think it’s because it’s clear you’re a great dude with a good heart, and I enjoy lending whatever support I can to help you keep doing your thing. I may have hate-watched this whole series, and you will NEVER hear me admit this anywhere else, but I found myself (*grimace*) slightly pulling for the Leafs, for one reason and one reason only: I now enjoy Happy Dangle more than Angry/Sad Dangle. I do hope the Leafs win one (read: ONE) cup someday, if only because you deserve it. thank you for giving me a nice thing to look forward to after a long day at work all season, and for many seasons to come. but more than anything, thank you for being you.

Thank you for yet another great season and what you do Steve. One day it will all be worth it.

Steve, I've enjoyed your shows for ALL these years, every single one. I'm a lifelong Pittsburgh Penguins fan, and I know a little bit about rooting for a bad team- albeit a team you love but they're just not good enough ( I remember the first few decades of the Pens-1967-87- enough said!)but I honestly & truly Hope that one Year very, very soon the Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup again, because it will be the most satisfying thing to see YOU finally get to enjoy the Championship, PLEASE keep keeping on and Best Wishes to You ( and your Family - they are the REAL Joy in Life, ya can't beat that Love!) I'm a lifetime subscriber to you and GOD Bless You - one day we'll All get to see you celebrate the Toronto Maple Leafs as Stanley Cup Champs- I can't wait for it!!! Thank You for another GREAT season and Please don't forget & always remember you're the Best part of being a Maple Leafs fan, getting to enjoy your LFR!

As a non-Leafs fan, you absolutely cannot blame Samsonov for this loss! Whether he should have made the first save or not, you cannot expect your goalie to need to get a shutout in order to win. Being incapable of scoring more than 2 in a game is what lost the series and that's on the stars.

Steve, a lot of us non-Leaf fans watch losing LFRs because we can relate to the frustration of losing as a fan. That’s why I watch anyways…

Love how Babcock helped the Bruins win.

Thanks for all your hard work again for another season

We'll be here for LFR #18 Steve. We'll be here.

It was crazy to hear Keefe talk about his team as if he wasn't part of it.

As a lifelong Red Sox fan (and a Cubs fan by marriage, and a Leafs fan by birth; I have no affiliation to Boston), watching this series brought me back to 2003. When we went to overtime I could almost hear Joe Buck saying “it looks like Grady Little is sticking with his starter” right before Pedro blew it against NY. I guess I’m just destined to be disappointed in playoff sports

Had a rough couple years. Found your channel last night after the game and you’ve got another subscriber. Love from Boston and better luck next year no hate 😂 Okay I listened to the entire rant. You sir, have my respect and admiration. Magnificent diatribe.

You just KNOW Babcock was smiling like a kid on Christmas when Pastrnak scored the OT goal

Can we just take a quick moment to appreciate Drew for cooking up a 40 minute video and upload the thing in a couple hours?

this is always a fun yearly watch. Good stuff.

I’m a panthers fan but I love your channel bro, your energy and personality is infectious. Definitely a supporter 🙌🏾

You dragged a lot of us non-Leafs fans into this series with your knowledge and passion Steve. Thank you for a great season. Hope Leafs fans get your cup someday.

you know you’ve hit rock bottom when the best possible scenario for your team was to lose in 5 instead of seven.

This is the only Steve dangle video I watch every year

Awesome video!

The doggo was like "See you next year bud"

"Every year when the Leafs get eliminated, a quarter million show up..." Guilty 😂😂😂 (Reporting from LA))

well played steve, that was amazing.

Great video thanks

How do you let Pasta beat your defense like that in OT after playing 60 minutes of quality D? Nobody's talking about how brutal Leafs' defensive breakdown was to let Pasta in like that. He had all the ice in the world.

It's funny. You forgot that JVR was on the ice for TWO of those blown 3rd period Leafs leads. This time he happened to be on the opposite end of a 3rd period collapse.

Life long flyers fan and been watching since 2007! Keep up the good work Steve!

Had to make sure this was the right game 7

It's almost been so long since the leafs won the cup, that Pepperidge Farms has almost forgotten about it happening.

Couldn’t go to bed till I watched this

That was a very tight series, and fun to watch

This is very well done, Steve

That moment when Nylander tells Marner to stop crying on the bench and man up in game 4 seems so prophetic now. Marner looked like he was taking a warmup skate when Pasta raced past him in OT to score the winner.

I watched the LFR for Matthews NHL debut. Steve was so full of hope, declaring that the Leafs were going to go BIBLICAL on the league. It is tragic, really.

How do y’all do it? Leafs fans have to be some of the most loyal fans in sports, because this is incredible.

Sorry Steve, have an organic banana on me. I feel like I just watched a Joker origin story.

Trent Frederic had more goals than Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner & John Tavares... COMBINED.

Condolences. This Hawk fan was cheering for you guys. Thanks for the honest video Steve

Finding your channel has been the only positive part of my Leafs…hell, Toronto sports generally…experience this year. Appreciate the hell out of you, bud.

When your team can only manage 1 goal in a game 7 and your goalie plays well enough to get you to overtime you absolutely cannot blame your goalie when you lose. Especially when you have the amount of offensive talent that the leafs have, for whatever reasons this team just doesn’t work in the playoffs it’s one of the great mysteries in the history of hockey.

How a head coach woke up this morning STILL THE COACH, after referring to his team in the third-person and succinctly outlining just how simple (read: not complex) it is to beat his team, is a modern miracle.

Who remembers the video Steve made after signing John Tavares, sitting real well with him rn

Leafs have become my second favorite team because of all the joy you’ve brought me over the years, one year they will win

Maybe Sammy should’ve had that first one, but maybe every single Leaf in the vicinity shouldn’t have been puck watching and should have been covering/tying up their assignment. If they have any semblance of defensive responsibility this is far less likely to happen. And obviously Marner shoulda known someone was there; and Reilly shouldn’t have quit skating. That was a classic Leafs low effort unforced error.

Steve, as a Bruins fan, I always love your passion for your team, which is why I have watched you time and time again. Thank you for the great ride you give us each year.

This video has become an annual tradition. Thanks man !!!

Thanks, Steve

Bos-Stunned Episode IV: No Hope

Here we all are once again. It’s basically a yearly tradition

I am an R dropping Boston townie and you're absolutely right. Our biggest fear was becoming the biggest choke artists by losing to the choke artists. You guys got a great show, I think the Toronto fans take it in stride pretty well. Montreal fans could learn a thing or two. Liked and subscribed.

Great vid Steve. Thanks for always making sense of the non sensical. See you over on SDPN. Cheers to next season and a whole new look. 🍻✌️

Just as an extra thank you for the streams and some sort of consolation prize. Best of luck with the kids and next season. You're a meme, sure, but you're also a delight for the world of hockey.

"Some of them were... John Klingberg." As a Stars fan, that line was excellent.

Every year it gets better

This guy's act is just one of the thousands of reasons Canadians outside of the GTA are happy this morning.

Keefe Gone. Samsonov Gone. Brodie Gone. Marner Gone.

Is it twisted that I stayed up for this lol

I'm right there with ya, buddy. Thanks for this video, it was... cathartic.

This loss HURT more than it should have.

@2:17 “Because I’m not nuts. I’m not nuts” *throws hammer* 🤣

knew we were screwed when Austin Matthews and Samsonov were back.

Thanks for another season Steve. It’s gonna be great when it happens but when does seem like a pipe dream

Man, this never gets old xD

"I'm not nuts," Steve said calmly, gently placing the hammer down.

As a Flyers fan in Canada I used to get a good laugh when Toronto lost because my friends, family are Leaf fans, but these last few years have been different.. genuinely feel bad especially this one. Such a cruel sport.

How do you have this much love for this team..

why didn't Samosnov use his stick as Pastrnak came across him, though?

Signing Tavares broke the internal cap for the Leafs. That is the nexus point for where the team sits today.

The Leafs have not beat Boston in the playoffs since 1959. Sputnik was obiting the Earth the last time the Leafs beat Boston in a plaoff series.

My favorite video every year! BLOW LEAFS BLOW!

Thank you Steve for LFR 17!!! Please take all the time you need to recharge. Big hug 🤗 and see you soon

Your timing on “your internet hasn’t frozen…” chef’s kiss.
