Screw You Too | The Steve Dangle Podcast 

I'll say it again this episode should have been called "A Comedy of Ayres".

The fact that Ayers got a win in Kashmir’s pads, that Kashmir didn’t even get a win in for the Leafs

You know its bad when ADAM goes full Steve

Congrats, LFR number 1 on trending

Who else has been waiting for this since the LFR

The Toronto Maple Leafs aren't a team, they're a roster

THIS IS THE MOST ANTICIPATED PODCAST EVER

Just saw that Steve's LFR is actually #1 on trending right now! Congrats Steve!

after watching the way the canes played defense for Ayres makes me really mad at the leafs for the way they left Kaskisuo out to dry in his debut

Ayers definitely deserves the crown but I want to shoutout to Mrs Dangle for being able to support our good friend Steve 🙏🏾😆

The Bunch of Jerks shirts seem especially appropriate in this context 😂

There is something that is lost in this. Carolina did not get respect. The play of everyone in front of the zamboni driver won this game. No Leaf could move, pass or shoot the puck. It was perfect reaction from a team that had to face this situation. It was the Leafs from the last game. I would love to have heard the Carolina coach in the second intermission. Carolina stood up.

Literally been refreshing for the last 20 minutes waiting to see this podcast

I've been dying waiting for this. Bless you three.

Please invite Urinatingtree on the podcast, i want to see how that would go

Steve's "why not?" at 4:19 lol

Watching this after they blew it against the Canadiens in the playoffs and the dialogue is IDENTICAL. The narrative hadn't changed a bit about this core.

8:00 steve goes FULL NUCLEAR to 8:05 totally chill. hardest 180 in podcast history. lol

I've watched the LFR twice, I found Steve's rage really helpful for my own mental health.

Watching this episode nearly 2 years later and hearing them talk about how they shouldn't make the playoffs and then knowing they get embarrassed by PLD just makes me feel worse for these guys but makes me laugh even harder at the Leafs

"You know what, I will put it off" - Best quote of the year.

This man finds ANY reason to give Willy the crown I couldn’t wait to see how he’d give it to him this week, and sure enough he got it 🤣

"This is the story for the rest of the season" Boy, that sentence did not age well

The amount of time travis dermott was on the ice with his dog was the same amount of time travis dermott fell in that game

27:00 Disregarding the playoff format... Toronto placed 3rd in the Atlantic, 6th in the Metro was Columbus - tied with 81 points, but the Leafs ended up with more wins.... but we all know how that head-to-head worked out. Good call.

The irony of David Ayres having a higher save percentage than Calvin Pickard should not be lost on anyone.

When O'Keefe said they needed to be embarrassed, this is what he was talking about.

It's so funny when a old episode starts playing after something else. You guys have come a long way and keep getting better and better.

15:20 that air bud comparison is amazing.

Oh man. That "Why not" from Steve at 4:22 hit me like when Gohan clocked Cell.

Watching this 3 years later for the LOLs. Some interesting things here though. Steve inadvertently predicted Zach Aston-Reese to Leafs three years early. Also, when talking about Jett Woo, the question was asked "Who names their kid Jett"? We have had two goalies play in NHL this year named Jet.

11:24 When thinking of embarrassing regular season losses, the only other one in the same league as the David Ayres game that comes to mind is Detroit beating Montreal 11-1 in Patrick Roy's last game for the Habs

This is one of those episodes that's worth listening to a couple times

Happy 2 year anniversary. This will always be a top 5 hilarious moment in hockey.

I love rewatching this in December 2020

Not only do i love fired up Steve but... FIRED UP ADAMMM. STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINSSSSS 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I’ve never in my life wanted to jump ship, but right now I really want too

Carolina proceeds to win the Stanley Cup and only cup ring in toronto is held by their zamboni driver.

How do the Leafs win a game from here on out when the note on the opposing teams board is "Don't lose to a team that lost to a zamboni driver"

The Steve story about his cousin sends me every single time I watch this video. Every single time

"Let's stop putting value on things trending. It's easy to get things trending"

Happy 2nd anniversary to the podcast that introduced it all to me.

I like what Adam said. So many of us as children who grew up watching the Leafs would have *died* to play for this team to win the championship. So many of us, who just do not have the talent of these players, dreamed of it. I know for a fact Steve, just like myself, would DREAM of lifting that Stanley Cup at centre ice in Maple Leaf Gardens and listen to that crowd, how proud they would be that we finally brought it back. The players during the pandemic break really need to look at themselves in the mirror and ask "am I just in this for the money? Or do I want to actually win?"

This is one of my favorite episodes of all time. Good work leafs.

Food for thought. The Leafs have a grand total of three players on their roster 30 years of age or older: Spezza, Muzzin, and Andersen. Between the three of them, they have an average of 62 games of Playoff experience, that's a minimum of two good Cup runs worth of games. That's great. But excepting those three guys and like, Tavares and Barrie, you're talking a group of 22 to 25 year olds still. Hyman is 27 and feels like an elder statesman on this team. They're inconsistent because they're immature, and Patrick Marleau was such an influence on this team, way more than he's given credit for. This team needs grown men as much as anything else.

Adam at 24:53 - 26:44 fucking nailed it. That's where the resentment towards this team stems from as a fan.

I think this has been the most brutal season of the decade for Toronto, no other season could top this one in this regard. That loss against Carolina was the cherry on top.

Love coming back here every Lafs collapse

How about Lundqvist to Carolina? To back up David Ayres😁

After the 3-1 collapse against MTL. This has aged like a fine wine.

I know it isn't the Leaf's but Yzerman said "the 2 things he looks for is hockey sense and COMPETE!!!!"

This is the first SDP I’ve ever listened to. I’m not used to hearing Steve sweat and I can’t stop laughing

I’ve been soooooo excited for this ALL DAMN DAY!

I think TB should not even start a goalie against Leafs to make it fair .

Coming back to this, funny how, even as a hurricane, Marzek kept leaving the blue paint in net 😆

I saw that tweet about Nylander being the only one (besides Mikheyev) practicing today and instantly thought about how Jesse was going to spin it into a crown, lol

You can play the last 2/3 of this podcast and could barely tell it apart from game 7 last year

Oh boy it’s gonna be a good one

What would the story line have been If a leafs employee had blown a lead and the leafs win?

Marner priced himself out of The Leafs long term picture with a contract negotiation that wreaked of entitlement, fully on board with trading his ass out of here.

I always come back to this. Classic episode.

Never been THIS excited with anticipation for no sleep Steve Dangle Pod. Steve is poddin'!

#1 on trending for Steve's LFR

That’s a great quote, “not even the 2019-2020 Detroit Red Wings lost to a Zamboni driver” wow, that hit hard

"You can't do nothing" Ooooh Steve you underestimate this team

been waiting for this all day, lets gooo!

37:55 notice how he can't name a good hockey team like that. Cup winning teams have depth and defense.

(0:29) I'll be editing this comment, as the pod goes along. But I'm not even thirty seconds in, and the look on Steve's face has me 💀 (43:10) Adam is bang-on, here. That was a major red-flag moment for me, as a fan of Matthews, Dubas, and the team. And then Steve sums it up by pointing out they wouldn't have done this to Lou (48:14) I disagree with Adam's take, here. Two areas where Dubas definitely fumbled, were: 1) not addressing the need for a stay-at-home defenceman, who ideally had a right-hand shot. Barrie was not it (even though I assumed like every other Leafs fan, that he'd improve what we had) 2) Taking way too long to address the back-up situation (both with Sparks, and Hutchinson). Dishonourable mentions could also include the high-level contracts; also, and I might be one of the few who lament the loss of this player, but what Hainsey brought to the back end, and the room, was not filled. I will never understand acquiring Ceci, while letting Hainsey go. Hainsey as a bottom pair D, would've been great. (49:34) Also--I don't think enough has been made about the roster turnover, in the summer. I think that directly relates to Steve's point. That's on the mgmt. Talent and skill matter the most, but 'character' is something that all winning teams have. It hasn't been there, this year, for this team. (57:45) As a big fan of Kasperi, what are you hearing, Steve? You can't just drop a nugget like that, and not elaborate. I would be sad if they traded him (but recognize his potential value as an asset) Are there in-room issues? Thanks for doing this, fellers...been waiting all day, for it

The difference between the raptors and leafs is where the players come from. Siakam, Lowry and van vleet were all later round guys or undrafted. They had to work so hard to become the stars they are and it shows with their work ethic. But with the leafs Tavares Matthews and Marner were told from the age of 10 that they can do no wrong and destine for greatness. They never had to work as hard as the raptors stars to get where they are.

If I may offer my own thoughts on the cancellation of the practice Sunday. Everything that happened from Saturday to today, I’m reminded of a similar situation with Edmonton. It was either the 08/09 season or the 09/10 season, but there was a game IN Edmonton where the Oilers played the Buffalo Sabres. They (Edmonton) got SMOKED 10-2. Everyone in that organization was let off the hook for that performance, thus resulting in 0 accountability. What happened? Loser mentality gets let in, nobody is held accountable and the Oilers stink for another 5-6 years. Fast forward to the 16-17 season. 3rd game of the season, IN Edmonton, and Edmonton loses 6-2 to the Sabres. On top of that, the day AFTER the game was one of Edmonton’s CBA mandated days off. Further on top of the that, the day AFTER the day off, the Oilers have a date with the Hurricanes. After the loss to Buffalo, Todd McLellan RIPPED the team in the media availability. Just ripped the team and the players. Call out the performance and stressed the need for them to re-establish a work ethic. So what happened after that? The Oilers practiced ON THEIR MANDATED DAY OFF (something they were later investigated for) and as a result, they won 5 of their final 6 games in October. The fact that Keefe cancelled the practice and Dubas was fine with it, should send up red flags throughout Leafs Nation. And if I was the GM, I could care less if the trade deadline is the next day. Bag skate these entitled kids who think that giving sad sack excuses like “I lacked the will-power” is somehow holding yourself accountable.

I don't know why but this is still one of the best podcasts episodes I have watched.

This was great therapy. Thanks guys, I feel better now.

Larry King!? "Sakai Souflette?"

Someone pray for Steve’s blood pressure

Coming from a Stars fan who has to put up with them losing to St. Louis and Detroit in the playoffs annually and them not being able to score (but still supporting them) this game just about made my day and season. Go Stars!!!

Man Adam was on fire this episode!

Probably the most highly anticipated podcast of all time. LETS GO

The best part of this whole "losing to a Zamboni driver" thing is the fact that said Zamboni driver grew up a Boston Bruins fan. :D

A time capsule like no other.

In the past 3 years EDMONTON OILERS HAVE WON MORE PLAYOFF ROUNDS THAN THE MAPLE LEAFS LOL

Best Leafs game I have seen since I moved to Toronto from Montreal. It proves that on any given night, any player can have the game of his life - that’s the beauty of sports. Congratulations to Dave Ayres for playing his heart out for the pure love of the game. Leafs should never have traded Frank Mahovlich.

Notification squad show yourselves

happy anniversary to the David Ayres game!

It’s now August 2022. This podcast is still aging beautifully.

finally! I am expecting passion on this one.

Fuck you convinced me, trade Marner

"It's the guys who score that matter." Oh man, you're totally right. Hey y'know who sucks and always has because he doesn't score a lot of goals? Joe Thornton. 🙄🤣

Not even the zamboni driver at the Colaseum, but at the Ford Performance Centre...the practice facility.

Oh god that soccer analogy, you have a team of Paul Pogbas.

Oh my god I almost peed when Adam said "I'm going to get fucking raped for this." I laughed so hard.

The Leafs are a joke and the Penguins have lost 3 in a row, my teams are struggling since playing eachother!

Anyone miss the Leafs vs Capitals series? Literally 0 expectation on the team, with the most excitement

I’m 3 minutes in and this is already the best podcast yet 😂

Man i love this episode. I was watching the game and was anticipating this so much.

"Find me a more embarrassing loss in NHL history." I propose the Minnesota North Stars losing 8-0 at home in the deciding game of the 1990-1991 Stanley Cup Finals to Mario Lemieux's Pittsburgh Penguins.

you know it's a good one when there's only 3 topics listed in the description...

I give this coach and management until the end of next season. If they have not addressed perceived issues (the blueline) and changed the mentality of this group, I will 100% believe it cannot be done with this group. This season, I don't care how it goes. Scrape in, miss out, does not matter. This season is lost. Start today with moves to get better and actually start getting better so next season is actually that next step and not whatever this season has been.

Steve switched from a fork to a spoon to eat his cake...just shovin that booger cake!

Take a look at the laugh starting at 1:07:23, the most fake laugh I have ever seen in my life. Listen to him start, and then watch when the laugh ends, it is ridiculous. Nothing like going from busting a gut to not even smiling in 1/4 of a second.

One question, is it possible for the Leafs to send the whole team down to the Marlies and bring up the Marlie players to finish the season?
