NHL Worst Plays Of The Week: He Dented The Stanley Cup! | Steve's Dang-Its 

Dang-it from a Colorado policeman today who didn’t know who Bo Byram was and tried to force him over the fence back into the crowd.

“And now Josh Manson’s severed foot is sliding across the rink” Tampa: 2 mANy MeN oN tHE icE

Dang-it's for next week: -Stanley cup getting delivered to wrong house, ending up at Landeskog's neighbor -Landy saying the f-word a few times during his speech -Byram not being recognized by a cop during the parade -Rantanen drinking almost all the english language out of him Hat picks: -Girard doing a cartwheel -Rantanen with the worst moon walk you'll ever witness -Kadri wearing a "too many men" t-shirt -EJ singing "All The Small Things" -All the Stanley Cups made out of beer cans -Avs announcer chugging a beer, then Newhook and another player join in -Shirtless Landy

VERY disappointed that there was no Dang-It for Jon Cooper... crying about EVERY goal against the Lightning in EVERY game of the finals.

Don’t forget on that play Kuemper had the secondary assist. First time a goalie has ever had an assist on an overtime game winner in the finals.

I think the other dang-it on the Kadri OT goal was that two Tampa defenders let a man who hadn't played a game in 18 days and whose thumb was broken in two places and surgically repaired, go right through them like nothing and still get off a shot that somehow beat Vasi. (Though if you watch the shot, it seems obvious that he didn't really get all of the puck, it came off of the end of his stick very strangely, maybe that's why it fooled Vasi just enough?) Certainly a bizarre play overall, and sure weird things can happen, but the Bolts had done almost *nothing* in that OT. It seemed fairly likely that even if that hadn't been a goal, it was only a matter of time before the Avs scored, the Lightning were getting absolutely shelled.

Can you imagine how much Tampa complains if Vasi loses his mask like Darcy did and the Avs score.

I think Tampa getting shut out for 56:12 minutes in the elimination game on home ice is worthy of a dang it. They can whine all they want about the Arturri goal, but they were the ones unable to score again…soooooo

Just 15 minutes of John Cooper being a whiney lawyer.

The worst part with the goalie mask situation is they allowed Tampa to score because they had an immediate scoring chance. And the very next game, Vasilevsky throws off his mask and the refs blow it dead, despite the Avs having an immediate scoring chance.

I think the weirdest thing about the goalie mask thing is that goalies already DO shake their masks off on purpose. Vasilevskiy didn't even shake it off in the next game he straight pulled it off with his glove because the shake didn't work.

Steve, did you notice that Manson saved his leg by moving his stick, causing Marron's stick to break saving his leg I can only assume.

I missed stamkos firing the puck at the ref after the last goal. The Lightning absolutely deserved to lose the cub, imagine being so childish across your entire team with Bellemare flopping, Maroon trying to chop Manson's leg off like a tree and shouting at the refs, Stamkos firing the puck, Kucherov throwing his gloves at his own team's trainer, Jon Cooper crying throughout the finals. God bless the Avs for showing them up and winning the cup, good lord

Tell me you saw the short of Bowen Byrum getting stopped by police thinking he was a fan, that's a dang it, lol.

I like the way Stamkos nonchalantly pulls the puck out of the meshing and on to the ice when Kadri scored as if the puck really wasnt lodged there.

What about no one realizing Kadri scored when he did? OT GWG, and only Byram was the only one on the ice who saw the puck go in, and only two Avs fans in the crowd knew it went in. That's a dang it.

"Imagine if LeBron took his shoes off and threw them at the Lakers bench in a playoff game" Well, it wasn't quite that, but let me take you back to Jun 5, 2021, during the First Round of the NBA Playoffs, vs the Phoenix Suns. Already down in the series 3 games to 1, and with his team losing Game 5 105-73, LeBron just straight up leaves the game and heads towards the locker room with 5:41 left. Clearly the game was over, but he didn't stay on the bench with his team. Didn't shake hands with his opponents, with his team. And it was discussed on some talking heads shows for a minute but never really given the proper discussion it deserves either.

As A Big Bolts fan. All bs aside. No whining about a ton of big injuries Congratulations Avs enjoy your moment in the spotlight.

Losing reveals character more than anything else. And all the people who have developed a dislike of Tampa's sneaky nastiness over the years saw how justified they were with Kucherov's and Stamkos' BS as time wound down. Stamkos should be suspended at the start of next season-I cannot BELIEVE he shot that puck right into the ref's feet and is getting nothing.

I really like how after Kadri scores that OT goal Stamkos just casually kind of bloooops the puck back onto the ice off the net and just slowly skates away. Was he hoping no one would notice and there would be no goal?

The Kucherov dang-it so, so true. I had no idea that happened. What a primadonna!!

Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final is a massive Dang-It for the Tampa Bay Lightning

Tampa did not go out with class. Makes the Avs win that much better.

I'm curious, did the Lightning whine and cry through the other 3 rounds or did they turn into toddlers once they got in the SCF? I've never seen a team benefit from a ton of no calls whine for days about a no call.

Cmon Steve. The Cup got delivered to the wrong house in Colorado and some random guys got to take pictures with it because the Stanley Cup Custodians couldn't properly get themselves to Landeskog's House for crying out loud. How is that not a Dang-It!!!

Did anyone notice Cogliano ready for those one timers on the multiple 2 v 1s?

Not only was it the puck that hit Kumper in the mask but so did the stick of the Tampa player.

"1996 was the last time there was a margin of 7 goals in the Stanley Cup Final." Bruins stomping the Canucks 8-1 in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final: are we a joke to you?

Another point that furthers the case that the PEB play was a flop; Manson has one hand on his stick, and is turning the other way so all of his weight is on his right side (the far side compared to where PEB is). There is absolutely no way he can hook down an NHL player in that instance. Absolute flop.

The ref to Maroon: Talk to the hand. So glad Tampa lost the finals.

Before this starts I hope that 7-0 game is on here Jesus Christ that was horrible…well it was on here

Sportsnet's coverage is SO MUCH BETTER than ESPN's.

29:41 the dude at the top right corner is the funniest reaction in my opinion 😂😂🤣

On the Goalie mask rule- why not simply specify that it has to come lose without the goalie interfering with it? You immediately blow it dead *unless* they fiddle with it to force it. Hell, make it reviewable if you must, but it's not like you couldn't do better than "we'll blow play dead after the opponent had another crack at a headshot"

The Renaissance picture 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😱

How about the cup being delivered to Landeskog's neighbor's house instead of his house?

That trophy ding response made the best ever cup photo!

Since last season I saw the dishonesty in the lightning. Kucherov angry at habs fans for just being happy: #1 BS. Circumvent the cap bc the league doesn’t even acknowledge that it’s happening: #1 BS. Score series winners with too many men and then complain when the exact same thing happens to you: #1 BS. Cry like babies when u lose fair and square after winning two straight cups: #1 BS - U WON 2 CUPS ALREADY! ITS NOT A CRIME FOR SOMEONE TO BEAT U! u kiddin me

@5:36 the last 7 goal loss in the finals was 2011 game 3 bruins vs Vancouver, Canucks lost 8-1 also

Oh the NHL and the consistency. Players lose helmets. Either a penalty or they have to go to the bench. Goalies?? Losing gear during play? GAME ON!

You missed the part where kucherov hits the linesmen from behind right after he got a stick from the bench.... Bellemare should be fined as well as some others like kucherov.... happy you wondering why nobody's talking about it.... because I was saying right after the game....

I was expecting a dang it for Vasilevskiy tossing his helmet on the way back to the dressing room. That mask was cursed in game 6 and he knew it.

I'm sure (most) Avs fans have seen it, but go look at the shirt Kadri wore to the Parade of Champions today lol hint: it has to do with this "dangit"

Ol Kempy played with an eye and a half also since the incident

The leafs wish they could dent the Cup.

Dang its aside, what a series. two blowouts; one for each team, sure. But all four other games were decided by one goal, two in OT. Just an absolute classic.

The AHL suspension was Chicago Wolves and former Flyers goalie Alex Lyon after shutout win 4-0 over Springfield Thunderbirds. He was suspended for 2 games after pulling a middle finger gesture to the crowd. His suspension will be served next season if he was sent down to the AHL. Currently, he’s a UFA, so we don’t know where he’ll go. But whenever he signs an NHL contract and gets sent down to the minor league affiliate team, he’ll then serve the suspension.

"I think I'm Nathan MacKinnon" - Steve Dangle 2022

Kinda surprised you didn't talk about the cross-check that happened in the dying seconds of game 6 from the lightning onto an official...

Outstanding wrap-up, thank you! Didn't see any drops at the parade but who knows???

Dang it; Thursdays just won’t be the same for a while.

I took a guy from Hobbs, NM to game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. In Chicago, only game they won. In the Chicago alumni box. He had never been to a hockey game. Who's who of Chicago hockey in that box, several hall of famers and people we have lost. He had no idea. He is a NHL fan today. I had the benefit of period summaries to help explain the game. But he is a fan today. He had no clue who we met. But the game is fun to watch. Especially in person.

*You should do a Top 10 Dang-It's for the season! I'm expecting Nedeljkovic's "swing-and-a-miss" play, if so!*

Great recap

You forgot about the Tampa player that semi-cross-checked a ref in the back during that Kucherov glove sequence. It happened a little after Kucherov threw his gloves and the puck comes back up the boards.

people dont realize that being where those 3 players were by the bench... that by the rules, they arent counted towards how many people are on the ice.

That last one is why the Stanley Cup is one of, if not the best trophy in sports. There's just the one (yes, I know there's actually 3, shut it, 2 of those never leave The Hall) so if you win it, it's the same trophy as last year, the same one from twenty years ago, and the same one from fifty years ago. It's been around the world countless times, and has been beaten, banged up and broken over and over again, only to be repaired, and the legend of Lord Stanley's Grail to continue.

Where did you get that crow sound effect for the opening?

Tampa calling too many men in game six against Colorado when one of them is literally crawling off the ice 💀

Dang it for Corey Perry 🤣

The rule book states shooting the puck at or in the general direction of an official is an automatic 3 game suspension

SN dangit at 10:48 when Kadri scored . The banner on the left 2-2 series was wrong

What I love is it’s a story Kadri said ‘kiss my ass’ yet Kucherov during an interview after winning last year can say “number 1 goaltender, number 1 bullshit” and people go crazy loving it…

13:10 arena soccer also has the live hockey style substitutions

except Tampa got a whopping 4 shots on net in the last period they played....Dang it if you're a Tampa desperate fan

Anyone else notice that after the Kadri goal, the ticker over the score said “Series tied 2 - 2”? 10:48

Nonsense! if the cup endured the caps and ovi partying hard, it will endure the avs for sure.

Ah yeah, the lightning turn into baby rage losers when faced with a team that should actually be in the final and not some scrub who got there due to coivd bubble crap.

It probably won't make it into the "Best of" video, but I'd like to put forth TWO "Dang Its" and TWO "Hat Picks", all involving Stan "The Sham" Kroenke. 1. A "Dang It" for Kroenke being left out to dry while trying to get a handshake from Nathan McKinnon. The "Hat Pick" to McKinnon for ignoring him. 2. During the parade (which got rained on, btw. Bonus "Hat Pick" to God for literally raining on Kroenke's parade.) when Kroenke and his son were announced to the crowd, the crowd BOOED THEM! That's a "Dang It", which gives a "Hat Pick" to the crowd for letting them know that even though they may be the owners, they're still dirt bags. Congrats Avs, screw you Kroenke.

*2012 Calder cup* I started thinking back to where I heard this from. Then I remembered Tokarski won the cup that year and I did a school report on Tokarski.

“Never say NAK didn’t make an impact on the Avalanche” after he drops the cup. LOL, you are the best, Steve.

I forgot producer Drew was an Avs fan

24:47 Not exactly the same, but my first thought was Scottie Pippen sulking that Phil Jackson drew up a play for somebody else and refusing to go in at the end of a '94 NBA Playoff game.

No I can’t live without dang it’s! dang it

Let's give a Special Lifetime Achievement Dang-It to Corey Perry for losing three Finals appearances in a row with three separate teams.

16:17 You can't drop something you were never holding. He didn't even see it. It bounced off of him. Stop saying he "dropped" it.

Love your videos you’re a riot!!! sorry about your leaf’s maybe next year and that’s coming from a Penguins fan lol

True Story, when i saw steve's tweet i thought it was a bad take that day if you had been following the Avs but because Steve's main issue was they had like 25 total contracts singed and they were bad. I chose to believe it was just the start of Joe cleansing the team of all the bad players Roy wanted around. It needs to be talked about how bad Roy was at team building in the NHL and the turn around was the Pain of 2017 but thats when the build started around the core of Nate, Mikko, Landy, and Duchene. I include Duchene more as in the pieces they got for him in Sammy G, Byram, etc. the next 5 years of moves was Super Joe's best work yet.

Off topic but what is the framed "NA" jersey on the backdrop?

Steve your breakdown of the cup winning goal was right on the money. Although I think Stamkos fired the puck at the ref after the McDonagh Boarding penalty

More than a week later I'm watching this and when he brings up Kuch and what he does the first thing that comes to my mind when Steve asks for an equivalent in another sport, I immediately went to Antonio Brown taking off his jersey and shoulder pads mid-game and just prancing off the field because they wouldn't let him go back on.

I think you may owe Vasilevskiy an apology Steve.😁 I keep rewatching that 'dropped' save, I even slowed it down more. Vasi, *didn't,* drop it. It bounced off his wrist, and bottom edge of his glove. And then, from what I can tell, it bounces off both pads and away, to his right. If you really want to give him a Dangit, I guess it would be because he thought it bounced to his left(even after lifting that leg)?

10:42 they say series tied 2-2 as if Tampa won

30min???nice!

Stamkos shot the puck at the official after the boarding call not after the winning goal. :)

Would love to see you do a Dang-it on the hilarious triple-play the White Sox got themselves into!

I love that! Celebrate every goal with your chest!

Steve, babying the cup means less history, and fewer stories. Ding it, dent it, just make sure you pay to put it right. And, I'm happy to report: they didn't drop it at the parade.

29:41 The best has to be the guy in the top right corner 🤣

They mailed the Stanley Cup to Landeskog...'s neighbor. So, there's that too.

MacKinnon, Rantanen, Cogliano, and the guy standing behind Helm

5:42 actually that's not true. The Bruins beat the Canucks 8-1 in game 3 of the 2011 Final. Dang it, Steve!

I believe the "Kiss my ass" was mainly directed at all the racist Blues fans. That being said, I fully stand with Naz and his statement. So proud of my Avalanche!

"I'm Nathan MacKinnon." -Steve Dangle

I think the bigger dangit on that Kadri game-winning goal is that the TV studio put the series as being tied after that goal lol.

Whoes team panel did they sent?

I like that comment about being able to celebrate goals. Im and avs fan and weve had a lot of disallowed goals in the last few years. Its to the point that when the avs won the cup, i was waiting for some penalty or something to make a reason we didnt win it yet.

23:48 Kucherov, are you keeeeding me?

In box lacrosse any shot that hits the goalie directly in the face gets blown dead immediately. I always considered it making sense so you don't just aim for the goalies head. When it comes to changing on the fly with box lacrosse you can actually pass to the person you're changing off with. But possessions work a lot more different then with hockey. It's more like basketball in that respect. You can also destroy people who don't have the ball and there's no such thing as offside.

12:35. This is actually something I get to do a lot. I've been a hockey fan living in either Texas or Kansas my entire life and don't have a single other friend who follows the sport. I bring friends to minor league games all the time and most of the time, they'll ask questions and try to understand the sport and I honestly love teaching people about it.
