If you knew anything about anything, you'd know we have already traded our first rounder this year, so performing good in march won't matter. But you wouldn't know that because you don't know anything about Toronto so spewing out this crap really doesn't make any sense. When you actually look up some valid points maybe you can come back, but until then, just be quiet and go back to your hole.
If u knew anything about anything you'd know that your draft pick position IS FOR EVERY ROUND!!! Won't matter though Brian Burke is a genuine fuck up as a GM, So good luck withe shitty leafs in the years to come.
Who gives a shit about the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th rounds? Not me. We lost our two most important picks this year and our most important the year after, dumbass.
Go luck being competely retarded... for years to come.
I'm an idiot... What round was Tavares drafted? What round was Crosby, Ovechkin, Malkin, Gretzky drafted in? THE FIRST. I never once said that only shitty players come from the 3rd-> rounds. I just said I don't give a shit. And this really has nothing to do with my point at all. My point was you're an idiot for coming on here and talking shit about the Leafs when you don't know anything about them. No one cares about your stupid ass opinions, but atleast get your facts straight... Dumbass.
And sure there are those diamonds in the rough you find in the later rounds, the like ones you stated, but those aren't sure things. You can't for sure get a Pavel Datsyuk in every third of fourth round, but you've got a hell of a good chance to get one in the first.
i have so much respect for brian burke and trust he knows what hes doing, but really the leafs management has to wake up. Do whatever you have to and get this years first round pick back. The one real solution to the problem is a big time franchise player, and im betting you Taylor hall is the man for the job. Just imagine 2 years from now the line the leafs would have with taylor hall, nazem kadri, tyler bozak, phil kessel, luke schenn, viktor stalburg, and jonas gustavson.
dont get me wrong kessel is a great player, but compared to the crosbys and the malkins? This Taylor hall kid has real big potential to be a big franchise player, i dont know if leafs fans have noticed but WE DONT HAVE A FRANCHISE PLAYER THAT CAN CARRY A TEAM ON THEIR BACK, yes the leafs got some really decent young talent, but where the hell is the leafs ovechkin so to speak? You look at every stanley cup team and they have at least one of those players.
personally if i were the gm of the maple leafs i would have took this re-building process way slower, by saying he wants this team to be a playoff contender this year was kind of pushing it, What I would have done is take another year and really build out of the draft a bit more, i would have kept this years pick and not taken kessel, if the leafs come last they could have had a huge franchise player like taylor hall, also kadri will be back next year and will be looking pretty dam good
And I agree about Stempniak Steve, for all the hell Leafs fans have been giving him, hes probably one of the most consistent players on the team right now, and with a few more bounces going his way would be our leading scorer easily
im sorry but stempniak is really not a good player, i dont care who the goalie is, every game he has had chances to score and has done basically nothing. Now leafs lose again tonight to colorado, I liked Bozak on the powerplay and penalty kill and thought he played well compared to most of the other players. The main thing i can see form the team is that they just dont seem like they care, now im not saying everyone, but as a team they really dont care especially after they go down a goal or two
I... I... what the hell can you say at this point. Saturday I want the following to happen:
-Tosk or the Monster, whichever is healthy, gets the start, or Joey Mac if not, this is whichever goalies chance to run with the team and they better damn well take it, big saves at key moments are a must
-Stajan and Hagman back in, Tlusty up, Blake Kulemin and Grabovski benched, now THERES a message tot he forward unit
-Give White big minutes on D and bring back Finger, I dont care who he replaces
wow hagman and stajan benched..your shitting me right? Not grabovski who doesn't know how to position a one timer or take a pass and shoot..or do anything other then protect the puck really no instead stajan who scored what 3 powerplay goals in 2 or 3 nights at the beginning? and why is komisarek still playing every game he draws at least one stupid penalty that leads to a goal like tonight AGAIN holy shit I don't care if its 1 week into the season bench him! he kills our momentum EVERY GAME.
dude i have been watching your videos for almost 2 years now.
and i have never never never seen you this pissed.
holy crap.
i am a habs fan and at first i thought it was funny the way the leafs have been playing (as i am sure leafs fan would find it funny if the habs sucked like that) but now it's just sad to see an original six team, and with such a great rivalry with my habs playing this bad.
good luck to you and your leafs...especially since there will be no reward 2 tanking this season
This was posed by Damien Cox - fire ron wilson, hire wayne gretzky and demote luke schenn. Now people may call Leafs fans crazy or dumb, but nothing is crazier or dumber than a Leafs reporter.
Don Cherry predicted at the beginning of the season McDonald will come in be a .930 goalie and save the leaf organization and Frankly i believe him right now. With how they're playing it's like watching the Isles last year. McDonald posted a .900 save % on the Isles
I bet if they Traded the whole team (hypothetically speaking) just for Ovechkin, Crosby or Malkin, and bring the whole Marlies team up them could win a game. I also bet the Marlies could but the Leafs right now the way the Leafs are playing
i am sick of seeing guys like orr and mayers get 1st and 2nd line minutes they belong on the 4th line seeing less then 5 minutes a night.The fact that rosehill made the team over guys like tlusty bozak and hanson makes me sick. This new burke team focuses too much on toughness and not enough on scoring. There is a line between having tough players and having goons. Right now we have goons that are not helpin the team by takin penalties. The leafs need to start whipin these boys into shape
You know. I have a theory that some of the problems teams will have this year is because of retarded scheduling like that. Why do the Leafs get an entire week off? In fact, with two weeks for the Olympics, WHY ARE THEY HAVING SUCH LARGE BREAKS TO BEGIN WITH!?!?!
I think the leafs need to give the people in the minors a chance. Two games ago Don Cherry showed a clip of kadri owning! Give Kadri a chance he's doing great right now.
They need to bring people up. The preseason team was exciting to watch and they were winning games. Give them a chance!
You should be lucky you lost those to 1st round draft picks, because if you end up getting 1st overall, Brian Burkes dumb ass would probably select an enforcer.
Don't worry the Avs are off to a surprising start. But you gotta win one day, I will guarantee a win. But hopefully Matt Duchene scores.
what the leafs need is a good talkin to. ron wilson looks to soft on the bench. brian burke needs to come down to the dressing room before the game tonight and give them a mouthful of what their capable of doing and tell them how much money he spent on a new team.he needs to tell them to get their heads out of the asses and play like real men and score some goals, TELL ORR TO STOP FIGHTING, ITS OBVIOUSLY NOT HELPING THEIR MOMENTUM
Can we just take look back to the pre season for a second? The Leafs were kicking ass and the guys who we're scoring for us were Bozak, Stalberg, Hansen and Kadri. All those guys are gone now. So it seems logical that no one would be scoring goals anymore.
I know everyone is worried about the young guys getting crushed out there but that what all these thugs we hired are for! They should pressure the other teams stars and protect ours. Enough staged fights already...
Man the leafs talked about building a solid defence, what god dam defence. and they need to work on SHOOTING being outshot and outscored every period isnt going to cut it
Just read on the NHL website. In order to make room for Bozak and the return of Stalberg in tonight's game against the Avalanche, they decided to scratch Stajan and Hagman, of all people. I would love for someone to explain the logic behind that move to me. Jason Blake is a team leading (the bad kind of leading) -6, but he gets to play. Sounds to me like Wilson decided to scratch the 2 people that would whine the least about it. Thoughts?
Giveaways, bad defense and, oh I don't know, PUSHING THE OTHER TEAM'S PLAYER INTO YOUR GOALIE, ELIMINATING A LATE PERIOD POWERPLAY AND ALL TEAM MOMENTUM = good.
Scoring goals = bad.
Whatever happened to "The best players will get to play"? I'm no coach, but I don't think crapshoot player scratches is how you motivate players.
I expected so much more I don't get the Stajan and Hagman scratch... fucking christ.
I'm going to have to start picking a random team every year to follow. Fuck it I like the Blackhawks, maybe it would be more founded to watch them play instead of the Leafs.
why is it that no one realises that joey macdonald played 40 games last year and maintained numbers .901 sv% and a much high GAA than Toskala hes the best goalie the leafs got
I love the fact that its only 5 games in tho, we've lost all 5 games, our top 2 goalies are injured, our former top goal scorer is a non factor, and we have no first round pick for this season.
Minus the goal less than a minute in, the Leafs actually played like a playoff team in the 2nd period. That was good to see. At least we know that they can play well, even if it is for only 1/15 total periods so far this season (16 if you want to include overtime).
I can't wait to see Tlusty come up and produce in the NHL. But then again I couldn't wait for that last year either. And obviously, it didn't happen. Maybe this year?
Its not that leafs overpreform in march because everyone thinks they stink they only overpreform because they cant handle pressure at all and when there is no chance of making the playoffs that is when they start winning. In that sense Ron Wilson has pulled off the smartest and most daring move of all time. Tank the first 15 games so they have absolutely no chance of making the playoffs and then they turn it up. Maybe Wilson is trying to get them to play like its march when its only october.
Great rant. As much as i love Orr. He should focus on the star players on the opposing team and try get them out of the game a little bit instead on focusing on the other teams heavyweight. Ofc i dont expect him to do it against former friends and teammates but the rest of the games? If Orr wants a great opponent no doubt will they come if Orr stirr things up with the 1st liners.
leafs are being tough but they're not being smart. fights are awesome but when it comes down to it, leafs need to win. the team definitly has to be shaken up and if leafs dont get a win in their next two games, shits gonna hit the fan
what the fuck is going on the the leafs i'm like the only leafs fan in my whole school and everybody keeps telling me that they suck and i would always disagree but now i'm fincding myself agreeing more often..... they realllly need to get it together and FAST!
The surprising bunch of veteran goalies in Islanders is still a bad reason to get rid of MacDonald , in my opinion,, its like their carey price/ Mason ... but they are clearly retarded and its yours now, i think he is likely to become your number 1.. post-toskala days ahead soon
i lost my pro-line cuz the leafs. i thought wow they didnt win yet! theyll win now. lose and in this vids its not much jokes its more of ok!, GET IT TOGETHER!!
Heey Steve, although I am a Pens fan I am following the Leafs closely (namely because one of my friends is a Leafs fan). One thing that struck me in all those games was the way they lost. They tried to built momentum by playing tuff but instead had to kill a penalty and got scored on. Isn't the big problem for the Leafs their pk also because their best pk'er Komisarek is always in the box! I mean the Pens scored 3 pp goals and the Rangers too and what about the Canadiens in game one.
this event will always be known historically as the "The great maple leaf turkey shoot" capping their worst start in franchise history... i thought i heard something about toskala being injured on the radio but liek the guy said he's probably suffering from rubber poisoning.. u know from the insane amount of shots taken at him in his last couple starts.
Hang in there Toronto fans....trust me, as a Pens fan for a couple of years I know how ya feel. Steve, dude you are absolutely right. It seems that the lines really need to be mixed up. At least that seemed to work for the Pens...sorta. I mean we start our third line which is essentially our first line. Something will shake it up. Let's Go Pens and Go Leafs Go.
Kaberle was your only shot at a 1st round pick coming back and now hes got a NTC.
Ron Wilsons defensive system so far doesnt exist. Komisarek is playing like crap. That surprised me, Beauchimen however didnt. The Leafs wont even be close to 10th in scoring this year, last year it was because THERE WERE NO EXPECTATIONS! And their defensive system cant keep the puck out of their own net. So what do you think is going to happen? Truckulence? Wtf does that have to do with hockey? Burkes a fraud.
If i was Brian burke I would put Blake on Waivers and let him move on with his career, Um Vesa toskala should be traded in my mind but who would they bring in as a Starter, everyone was excited when Colton Orr came in what exactly has he done so far , fight, fight.... any Goals yet If Burke wasent such a Idiot he would of Signed Dominic Moore instead of Trading him for a 5th round pick who brought in nobody and Jiri Tlusty and Tyler Bozak Should Be called up before i shoot my Head off
Hmm...how long until a coach gets fired here? I'm guessing not long seeing as how most teams that start this badly have their coaches out by the 15th game of the season or so. It worked for Pittsburgh.
Hey Steve, how did Artem Anisimov for the Rangers look at that game? They say that he's suppose to be the top candidate for the Calder to knock of Tavares (despite the age difference).
Burke really did a number on us. We drafted Schenn, two years ago, drafted Kadri this year, i was hoping it would continue this year but Burke traded our pick away to Boston that now has a chance of getting Tylor Hall. I really thought we where going to do what Pittsburgh did when they tanked like 4 seasons to get crosby, malkin, fleaury, and stall, but no. Again with the quick fix that never works.
wow steve as much as i don't want to say it, everything you said was right. leafs are terrible but were in rebuiliding so ive made peace with the fact were going no where for 2 years. maybe kessel will bring us a win. take this into consideration, blake gets sent to the minors, ponikorafsky gets traded along with stanjan, and toskala is done and we get Savard and Marleau in the off season for 5 million each
i think im gonna stop watching the games every time i do they lose...in the preseason, when i didnt watch a game the won, and when i did, they lost, its all my fault guys im gonna go in a corner a cry now, c ya
I thought kulemin played great last night, easily one of the best on the team. He finished all of his hits and made plays happen. Although he did not find the back of the net I still think he was the leafs best player last night, he looked solid.
I keep saying 'its still early and I'm not worried yet' but... ok I'm starting to worry now this is beyond a few bad games we are SUCKING hard now....
if it makes you feel any better, by beloved Bruins are 2-3 and really should be 1-4. They look like crap, and shipped off my favorite player, Phil "The Thrill" Kessel to your Leafs. As a Bruins fan, I want the Leafs to tank so those draft picks become good picks to either use, or trade at the trading deadline for someone like Ilya Kovalchuk for the playoffs. The Leafs will turn it around, its still early.
The leafs have absolutely no confidence in themselves right now. So what they need is for a goalie to step in and win the game for them, which will hopefully build confidence for the team. But it is pretty clear that Toskala isn't the guy that will win the game for them. Macdonald did amazing last season considering he did play for the Islanders. So if Joey Mac gets the start tonight, I predict a 3-1 win for the leafs.
Being from the Island I got to watch a lot of the Isles games last year. Sure, McDonald and Danis were rather impressive with all things considered, Joey Mac may stun the Avs. However, from watching the Leafs play against the Caps, Pens and the Rangers, I don't think I've seen the Isles that poorly all of last season. A 3-1 win? Hope it happens. Sad to see the Leafs like this. If only the Rangers were the Leafs this year.
omg, I feel sorry for leafs fans! especially Steve Dangle!! lol. But im impressed how he can make videos when his team are doing this bad. I'd be depressed as hell!! C'mon Leafs show ur fans some love! haha.
Good luck against the Avs. dangerous team, but as a fan of detroit, i want everyone to beat the avs.
The problem has to be the Vets on this team. The kids are bound to make mistakes but the Vets are the ones making the key mistakes in game a la Jason Blake, Francois Beauchemin, Mike Komisarek. As for Kulemin at least he's trying out there
Dude most of the time your pretty funny on these vids and thats why I watch. Now you look and sound pretty pissed. Burke and Wilson are pushing to hard, they need to back off the team as does the Toronto media. I know you hate the Lightning but when we started 0-1-2, tocchet gave them the day off to get away from the game for a a day and they respond with 2 wins. stop panicing, look how the penguins started last year.
That game last night was so terrible i went to sleep, cause i knew the leafs were gonna choke so badly, here's my thoughts, put some goddamn defense in front of your goalie for fuck sakes, thank you.
well, personally I think there is at least one player on the leafs who isn't doing badly:
Alexei Ponikarovsky. he has 4 pts and is a +4 (believe it or not was a +1 last game)
but its true, the leafs are playing the worst i have ever seen. However I feel that 90% of the problem is the defense. Maybe some people are finally starting to see how over rated Komisarek is, Luke Schenn is another defenseman that i've always thought wasn't anything special. Finger, why did we get him again?
holy shit steve your so mad lmao

what the leafs need is a good talkin to. ron wilson looks to soft on the bench. brian burke needs to come down to the dressing room before the game tonight and give them a mouthful of what their capable of doing and tell them how much money he spent on a new team.he needs to tell them to get their heads out of the asses and play like real men and score some goals, TELL ORR TO STOP FIGHTING, ITS OBVIOUSLY NOT HELPING THEIR MOMENTUM

Can we just take look back to the pre season for a second? The Leafs were kicking ass and the guys who we're scoring for us were Bozak, Stalberg, Hansen and Kadri. All those guys are gone now. So it seems logical that no one would be scoring goals anymore.
I know everyone is worried about the young guys getting crushed out there but that what all these thugs we hired are for! They should pressure the other teams stars and protect ours. Enough staged fights already...

Man the leafs talked about building a solid defence, what god dam defence. and they need to work on SHOOTING being outshot and outscored every period isnt going to cut it

we can fight but we can't....save,score,defend,or maintain momentum...........yet again it sucks to be a leaf fan.
gunsnroses123456789 2 years ago
Just read on the NHL website. In order to make room for Bozak and the return of Stalberg in tonight's game against the Avalanche, they decided to scratch Stajan and Hagman, of all people. I would love for someone to explain the logic behind that move to me. Jason Blake is a team leading (the bad kind of leading) -6, but he gets to play. Sounds to me like Wilson decided to scratch the 2 people that would whine the least about it. Thoughts?

What I take away from this:
Giveaways, bad defense and, oh I don't know, PUSHING THE OTHER TEAM'S PLAYER INTO YOUR GOALIE, ELIMINATING A LATE PERIOD POWERPLAY AND ALL TEAM MOMENTUM = good.
Scoring goals = bad.
Whatever happened to "The best players will get to play"? I'm no coach, but I don't think crapshoot player scratches is how you motivate players.
shangtsung24 2 years ago
I expected so much more I don't get the Stajan and Hagman scratch... fucking christ.
I'm going to have to start picking a random team every year to follow. Fuck it I like the Blackhawks, maybe it would be more founded to watch them play instead of the Leafs.

I love the fact that its only 5 games in tho, we've lost all 5 games, our top 2 goalies are injured, our former top goal scorer is a non factor, and we have no first round pick for this season.
Could it be any worse? Could it?

Minus the goal less than a minute in, the Leafs actually played like a playoff team in the 2nd period. That was good to see. At least we know that they can play well, even if it is for only 1/15 total periods so far this season (16 if you want to include overtime).
I can't wait to see Tlusty come up and produce in the NHL. But then again I couldn't wait for that last year either. And obviously, it didn't happen. Maybe this year?
shangtsung24 2 years ago
Its not that leafs overpreform in march because everyone thinks they stink they only overpreform because they cant handle pressure at all and when there is no chance of making the playoffs that is when they start winning. In that sense Ron Wilson has pulled off the smartest and most daring move of all time. Tank the first 15 games so they have absolutely no chance of making the playoffs and then they turn it up. Maybe Wilson is trying to get them to play like its march when its only october.

Great rant. As much as i love Orr. He should focus on the star players on the opposing team and try get them out of the game a little bit instead on focusing on the other teams heavyweight. Ofc i dont expect him to do it against former friends and teammates but the rest of the games? If Orr wants a great opponent no doubt will they come if Orr stirr things up with the 1st liners.

Heey Steve, although I am a Pens fan I am following the Leafs closely (namely because one of my friends is a Leafs fan). One thing that struck me in all those games was the way they lost. They tried to built momentum by playing tuff but instead had to kill a penalty and got scored on. Isn't the big problem for the Leafs their pk also because their best pk'er Komisarek is always in the box! I mean the Pens scored 3 pp goals and the Rangers too and what about the Canadiens in game one.

this event will always be known historically as the "The great maple leaf turkey shoot" capping their worst start in franchise history... i thought i heard something about toskala being injured on the radio but liek the guy said he's probably suffering from rubber poisoning.. u know from the insane amount of shots taken at him in his last couple starts.

At least that seemed to work for the Pens...sorta. I mean we start our third line which is essentially our first line. Something will shake it up. Let's Go Pens and Go Leafs Go.

Kaberle was your only shot at a 1st round pick coming back and now hes got a NTC.
Ron Wilsons defensive system so far doesnt exist. Komisarek is playing like crap. That surprised me, Beauchimen however didnt. The Leafs wont even be close to 10th in scoring this year, last year it was because THERE WERE NO EXPECTATIONS! And their defensive system cant keep the puck out of their own net. So what do you think is going to happen? Truckulence? Wtf does that have to do with hockey? Burkes a fraud.

If i was Brian burke I would put Blake on Waivers and let him move on with his career, Um Vesa toskala should be traded in my mind but who would they bring in as a Starter, everyone was excited when Colton Orr came in what exactly has he done so far , fight, fight.... any Goals yet If Burke wasent such a Idiot he would of Signed Dominic Moore instead of Trading him for a 5th round pick who brought in nobody and Jiri Tlusty and Tyler Bozak Should Be called up before i shoot my Head off

Hmm...how long until a coach gets fired here? I'm guessing not long seeing as how most teams that start this badly have their coaches out by the 15th game of the season or so. It worked for Pittsburgh.

Hey Steve, how did Artem Anisimov for the Rangers look at that game? They say that he's suppose to be the top candidate for the Calder to knock of Tavares (despite the age difference).

Burke really did a number on us. We drafted Schenn, two years ago, drafted Kadri this year, i was hoping it would continue this year but Burke traded our pick away to Boston that now has a chance of getting Tylor Hall. I really thought we where going to do what Pittsburgh did when they tanked like 4 seasons to get crosby, malkin, fleaury, and stall, but no. Again with the quick fix that never works.

wow steve as much as i don't want to say it, everything you said was right. leafs are terrible but were in rebuiliding so ive made peace with the fact were going no where for 2 years. maybe kessel will bring us a win. take this into consideration, blake gets sent to the minors, ponikorafsky gets traded along with stanjan, and toskala is done and we get Savard and Marleau in the off season for 5 million each

if it makes you feel any better, by beloved Bruins are 2-3 and really should be 1-4. They look like crap, and shipped off my favorite player, Phil "The Thrill" Kessel to your Leafs. As a Bruins fan, I want the Leafs to tank so those draft picks become good picks to either use, or trade at the trading deadline for someone like Ilya Kovalchuk for the playoffs. The Leafs will turn it around, its still early.

So far Wilson and Burke have been all talk about how if the players don't perform they will be sent down...and replaced with AHL prospects.
I agree with what you said Steve...that 3rd period was indescribable.
brutallyunbiased 2 years ago
The leafs have absolutely no confidence in themselves right now. So what they need is for a goalie to step in and win the game for them, which will hopefully build confidence for the team. But it is pretty clear that Toskala isn't the guy that will win the game for them. Macdonald did amazing last season considering he did play for the Islanders. So if Joey Mac gets the start tonight, I predict a 3-1 win for the leafs.
LEAFSFAN4EVER55 2 years ago
Being from the Island I got to watch a lot of the Isles games last year. Sure, McDonald and Danis were rather impressive with all things considered, Joey Mac may stun the Avs. However, from watching the Leafs play against the Caps, Pens and the Rangers, I don't think I've seen the Isles that poorly all of last season. A 3-1 win? Hope it happens. Sad to see the Leafs like this. If only the Rangers were the Leafs this year.

The problem has to be the Vets on this team. The kids are bound to make mistakes but the Vets are the ones making the key mistakes in game a la Jason Blake, Francois Beauchemin, Mike Komisarek. As for Kulemin at least he's trying out there

Vantom91 2 years ago 4
well, personally I think there is at least one player on the leafs who isn't doing badly:
Alexei Ponikarovsky. he has 4 pts and is a +4 (believe it or not was a +1 last game)
but its true, the leafs are playing the worst i have ever seen. However I feel that 90% of the problem is the defense. Maybe some people are finally starting to see how over rated Komisarek is, Luke Schenn is another defenseman that i've always thought wasn't anything special. Finger, why did we get him again?
