epic brain fart??? youre not creative

[carmie1818]

re: carmie18(I)8,

That isn't my account guy's. It is however my very own YouTube stalker. I have reported him to the proper authorities. Just ignore him.

[K3NN3THS]

This Guy is not FUNNY He is gay I used to be a leafs fan but this guy sucks

[sundin4ever]

well u obviously have no sense of humore everyone luvs him even leafs tv

[inklinkinklink]

LOL, nice video John .. err Steve.

[getzygirl15]

IT'S ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Blizzard4545]

lol nice ending but GO SABRES GO BABY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and the reason them n the penguines had a hard time scoring last year is because their was so much snow on the ice it was COLD their was snow in front of them so they couldent even see but thats just my opinion so ye great video tho!

[kylekez17]

why is the video no longer avaliable?

[Skippy753]

LMAO 0:57-1:00 and 3:04-3:23

[DybboB89]

hey i guess most ppl wouldnt know this but Tavares's dad played for Buffalo in the NLL (National Lacrosse League) and they won the championship last season. He's as high profile as Joe Sakic (old likeable veteran) in the lacrosse universe and it would be nice if his son also wins a major championship. btw i think john's dad is also named john

[aviator147]

lol, the tea bit was funny

Good shift!

[timconboyrox]

hahah! tea!!!

[phille22]

Leafs is nothing without Sundin

[mcaris17]

Leafs is everything without Sundin.

[phille22]

everything? oh yeah. seems so. they're worthless. who's captain now? Antroppov?

[mcaris17]

You're from Sweden, so I imagine you love Sundin, as he is an icon in your country. But he is, or was, an icon in Toronto, Canada as well. Yes, he was a good captain (not a great one), but as we can see, he played more for himself and personal stats.

Our Toronto Maple Leafs are doing just as good at this point this year as we were at this point last year, and last year, we had many veterans, including Sundin.

[phille22]

he is an icon in Toronot. why all the hate all of a sudden? what a stupid little fuck you are. played for himself and personal stats? are you deluded? you don't think he could have goneto a all star team, instead of your shitty fucking team, if he wanted to score lots of points? that's the lowest thing I've heard. but hey. you are just a dirty canadian. no one ever said anything ad about him when he playe there. when he left, you stabb him in the back. hypocrites

[fud66]

WOW! it took me like an hour to understand what you were trying to say. Next time use a DICTIONARY dumbass.

[Zxceelxuz]

phille22, there's a lot of hate here because he refused to be traded in his old age for young prospects and draft picks. Then at the end of the season he didn't resign and the Leafs got nothing for him. That's why there's hate. Sundin, himself, is kind of the hypocrite because he said he wouldn't be a rental player, and that's pretty much what he's become to the Canucks. His decision, we are free to like or not as we please.

[phille22]

1. He didn't want to be TRADED. He signed for another team as a free agent. He didn't want to leave Toronto in the middle of the season. The Leafs wanted him to go, the fans even said no, you wanker. And now, afterwards, you say: Fuck you, Sundin, you should have gone? Cowards.

2. So you got nothing for him. But what did he do in Toronto for 15 years. And this is all he is worth to you? You should be fucking ashamed of yourselfs.

3. He's not a rental player. Bought him as a free agent.

[hntrmn64]

phille, he's a rental player... he's joining a team midway through a season... its not any different than a trade...

Sundin hasn't said anything positive about Toronto in quite some time, and thats why leaf fans are still upset. He was our leader for 13 years, and has acted like he was never a leaf... it just feels weird. Leaf fans have every right to be upset...

GO LEAFS GO!

[phille22]

rental player? isn't that.... you rent a player? Because he's not coming back to Toronto. And it's not like he left a team, and joined another. He was a FREE AGENT. HE could retire, or do what ever he pleases.

HE hasn't? You've talked to him? All I can remember is him being interviewd about VANCOUVER, and not TORONTO. Give me a break. maybe you should be angry at the management instead. they pushed him away, and wanted him to go last season, during the season. that's how you treat your leader

[Zxceelxuz]

His reasoning for not leaving was because he didn't want to be a rental player. Joining half way into the season, even as a free agent, is pretty much the same thing. Am I happy for what he accomplished in Toronto with no real talent on his wings? Yes. Do I find it a little odd he went against his own beliefs when signing with Vancouver? Yes, I do. It's his choice. I only wish he would've done it at the trade deadline last year to help the Leafs out one last time.

[Zxceelxuz]

People have every right to be angry or not at every players decision that affects the game they watch and the team they support. So, calling everyone cowards who is upset with his decision is a poor statement. I'll always think of him as a great player on the ice, if only he was capable of making decisions as quickly off the ice as he was on it.

I think you're the one that's really angry around here as well...

[phille22]

So what? He can't change his mind? And it's still not the same thing. He was a free agent. He wasn't sure if he was going to play at all. He didn't join the team until he was 100% sure and 100% fit. And he said if he wouldn't play this season, he wouldn't play at all. But it all comes down to you not getting a couple of draft picks. And I think that's cheap...

[mcaris17]

He stayed with Toronto as long as he did because maybe you forgot, but we were a fucking good team not too long ago, and we were contenders. He stayed the extra 3 years with us when we weren't as good because he no matter what, he still enjoyed being the centre of attention, and getting payed big bucks, and breaking records, and being the captain of a hockey team.

[mcaris17]

And you know damn well, you fucking monkey, that Sundin is the hypocrite. If he never planned on returning to Toronto, he should have waived his no-trade clause last year which would have greatly helped our team. Toronto has been so good to him, so he should have done that for us. If he was planning on returning, that's a different story, but he DIDN'T. And not to mention, he said he didn't believe in being a rental player, and that's EXACTLY what he is this season with the Vancouver Canucks.

[phille22]

Are you thick? He stayed there as long as the contract said. He signed Vancouver when he was a FREE AGENT. HE didn't want to just leave Toronto. "Toronto has been so good to him, so he should have done that for us.". Yeah.. forcing your catpain away from your team, to ge draft picks. Very good, very loyal. He didn't want to go. He's not a rental player, are you retarded? Leaving the leafs in the middle of the season, and signing as free agent. not the same thing.

[mcaris17]

No, you fool. Very loyal on HIS part. You idiot, what's so hard to understand? At the end of the day, no matter how you look at it, Mats Sundin was a Toronto Maple Leaf in the 2007/2008 season. He plays for another team in the 2008/2009 season. So if he wasn't going to return, HE SHOULD HAVE WAIVED HIS NO TRADE CLAUSE.

And it is the same thing because, again, no matter how you look at it, he's joining a new team halfway through the season, so it's like renting him. YOU are retarded.

[carmie1818]

Mats Sundin response last season, when asked if he would waive his no-trade: "I have never believed in the concept of a rental player. It is my belief that winning the Stanley Cup is the greatest thing you can achieve in hockey but for me, in order to appreciate it you have to have been part of the entire journey and that means October through June."

[phille22]

I can agree with that. But he also said that if he wasn't playing this season, he wouldn't play at all, and he obviously wanted to play, although he wasn't sure.

[carmie1818]

I like him, he's a great player, and has always been a pro off the ice. Most Leaf fans will have to go through a period of acceptance, with Mats playing for a different team. Right now I have passed the denial stage, and am now feeling quite angry.

When he plays in Toronto with the Canucks I would never boo him. He doesn't deserve that.

[carmie18I8]

I'd like to lick Mats Sundin's swedish meatballs, YUM!

[phille22]

Yes he was. And why is he not one this season. Man, you canadians are fucking thick. Because his contract was out, and the management didn't want him. They wanted to get fucking rid of him last season! You think he felt welcome? And he didn't know if he was teturning. If he did, don't you think he would have said yes to the 20 million offer right away? Get your head out of your ass, you simpe minded fuck.

[mcaris17]

Well, in the end, he did chose the team that offered him $20 million. Why he didn't accept it right away? There's a reason pokerstarsDOTnet has him as a spokesperson: because he's a good bluffer. Maybe he want to play for Vancouver and tested the free agent market to see if another team he would prefer would offer the same amount, or maybe he was playing with them to get them to offer him even more. But in the end, he DID chose the $20 million team.

[mcaris17]

*I meant to say "Maybe he DIDN'T want to play for Vancouver."

And maybe you're too stupid to realise this but if we wanted Sundin out so badly, we wouldn't be upset would we? We're just angry on how he left. He didn't waive his no-trade clause, so that's implying that he WANTED to stay with us, then he plays this fucking game with us, saying he's gonna make up his mind like every month, then he does like 6 months later. Also, the management went to talk with Sundin many times during the summer.

[phille22]

are you out of your mind? so he did go to the team who offeed him 20 mills, but that's not the point. the point is he waited, because he wasn't sure if he was gonna play. yes, you wanted him out, hahaha, the hypocrisy. yopu wanted him out, and you expect HIM to be loyal and generous? get the fuck out of here. you're scum.

[carmie1818]

Mats Sundin response last season, when asked if he would waive his no-trade: "I have never believed in the concept of a rental player. It is my belief that winning the Stanley Cup is the greatest thing you can achieve in hockey but for me, in order to appreciate it you have to have been part of the entire journey and that means October through June."

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

[mcaris17]

That's exactly what he said, carmie1818, and what a hypocrite he is. Copy-paste exactly what you said to me and reply it to phille22.

[goleafsgo0293]

Steve, how come you didnt talk about the Didomico incident?!/.. And i think its unfair to compare the sabres pens game to the hawks wings game because of the ice surface and temperature... it was FREEZING in buffalo, and the ice was crappy. IN chi town the temp was only -4

[SteveDangle]

Because I thought I'd go too long. I also didn't mentioned the Tokarski save. Oh well. It was dirty, but in a small sense, I like it. Builds the hype.

[goleafsgo0293]

Dude, we can never get too much of steve dangle ( no homo ) and the tokarski save was just amazing. Pierre McGuire sounded like he was having a heart attack

[saccento]

leafs are the most inconsistent team in the league.

[Sicariusing]

What do you have to say about Tavares being the biggest goal suck in the history of goal sucking? 90% of his goals are just in what Pierre McGuire calls "his office" .... There is not a chance he'd be able to do that in the NHL without gettin slammed on his ass if he say there.

[carmie1818]

Did you see his second goal against the USA? The guy has skills that are off the chart.

[Zxceelxuz]

Have you watched the guy actually play?

[represent4life]

Burke's doin his job just fine Leafs are 25th in the league standings.The Leafs will pick up a higher overall draft pick with a target of a "Top 5".

[MRHAB50]

lol "squirts tea in his eye" lol

[castonguay111]

Haha I came back on it again. Never gets enough laughter about hockey. Dangle you are by far the biggest worldwide reservoir of unuseful hockey expressions. Your brain cells are totally (I mean entirily) twisted. I am sure that after your death at a very old age they will make an histoligical examination of your brain tissue and find out abnormal axonic terminations in the shapes of hockey sticks, and some unusual net-works. Compared to yours the Bart Simpson Brain X-Ray is completely normal.

[hg133]

you are too cute. haha.

[RandomGuy847]

I know this is gonna make me sound like a hyper n00b, but who is Eric Tangradi and what did he do to be the JOTW?

[SteveDangle]

Clipped a Canadian player in the face from the bench with his stick at the WJC

[RandomGuy847]

Yeah I saw that, I just couldn't tell who it was. Although I do know it was DiDomenico he clipped, so well deserved JOTW!

[LeafsFanInOttawa]

Great Canada game, instant classic.

And now that Boychuk seems good to go, hopefully that means Della Rovere won't see a shift tomorrow night.

[carmie1818]

Haha...took the words right out of my mouth. I looked up Della Rovere's stats from the OHL, and he was leading the league in PIM without hardly any fighting majors.

On a Leafs side note, Cujo is one of my all-time favorites, but I am thinking it may be time for him to hang them up. He is consistently letting in very weak goals. 2 of the goals last night were really bad.

[bangbrosdude]

who is sundin?

[ollie7777]

LMAO, grabs for calder!

[jattrulesathockey]

you do look like tavares

[jattrulesathockey]

do not trade kubina or kabi pleasee toronro

[FatUglyFuck]

Go Canucks!

We got Sundin we got Sundin we got Sundin!

Whooooooooooooooo!

[Claymation42]

TOWELS ON THE FLOOR

[castonguay111]

Haha : My brain hurt and Epic Brain Farth.

You deserve the water on your head at the end Dangle! Haha. You don't look like any player. You look like ALL the players depending the role you take in a vid. The best Hockey humorist actor ever : you invented that category like you have renewed the field of hockey analysis. We can give you any team and you will make it turn into golden laughter : a brain farther Dangle Man and the exclusive reservoir of the international odd hockey expressions. Haha

[itisnotgnus]

Hahah I love your dedication for the laughs.

[OrangeOrnage]

he poured water on his scalp! didn't see that one coming.

[joetodaro]

WOOO WHOO GO SABRES! Sorry though, still watch all your videos.

[ArsenalFCrulez]

as for Burkey-claus, i dont what everyone's so pissed about him, i mean yea we're going to get rid of European players in the near future, thats not the point, its just happens to be the fact that alot of them; Toskala, Kaberle, Kubina, Antropov, etc, are just getting to far on in thier years, we absolutely need to keep Grabovsky, Kulemin and Hagman tho, i would be pissed if they went 4 little in return. Go team Canada, and the winter classic rly was classic :)

[ArsenalFCrulez]

Interesting. I didn't watch the game today and they lost again. It seems alot of times i dont watch a game they actually lose, and vice versa.

[alrexrod198]

eh steve

whats been up with crosby?

he's slowed down so much lately:S

[31phil]

his whole team is struggling..the pens haven't been scoring many goals lately

[money5057]

great vid, happy new year, and the reason sabres and pens struggled to score last year was becuz the snow and rain was messing the ice up...yesterday, in chicago, there was no rain or snow, ice was perfect.

and wat do u think of the whole "being a hot dog" situation that occurred in the canada/usa game that don cherry brought up during the winter classic edition of coaches corner?

[marriage]

they played like they had a hangover--- LIKE I DO RIGHT NOW!!! remind me not to go so overboard next new year's eve

[Steve0016]

"Tank Nation" gets me everytime

It would it awesome if a team literally traded away half of their players to get one All-Star

Brian Burke, I'd like to see Ovechkin and Tavares on the Leafs :D

[money5057]

ovechkin...never lol...not possible

[FlingyRingy]

The Canada vs US game was absolutely freaking painful at the end. I mean after you get one goal let in on an empty net, you put the goalie back in. But they put in TWO MORE goals before they put him back in. XD

And this IS going to be an amazing tournament. I think it would get even more nuts if Canada faced Russia in the finals (they can, right? I'm not sure how the two sides are all set up).

[FlingyRingy]

Of course then we would be absolutely bombarded by every sports analyst screaming about the 72 Summit Series. Hm.

[Zxceelxuz]

The US team had nothing else to lose. Still down by 2, but a small chance they could tie it up. I'd have done the same thing. No amount of extra empty netters would've changed anything, they were fighting for a bye to the semis.

[DGRlubz]

nope russia moves over to the canadian side...ahh its either going to be sweden or us in the finals, unless the slovaks pull out a miracle...and plus did you see all that energy in the building last night..us-canada finals would be nuts

[CabanaGuy]

haha yea you look like tvares a lot. when i saw him i was like "what the hell? is that dangle?"

[humantorch100]

that*

[kiba2001]

Yeah, I really love the fact that Hank had three assists on the game.

On the leafs well, they'll eventually be better, they just need in my very own humble opinion a Norris Trophy to sparkle the defense and give confidence to the goalie.

On the Canda VS US, what can I say, TAVARES WILL BE THE MAN ON THE NHL!!!!

[humantorch100]

ok steve i really need to know why the hell burke sent pogge to the ahl when toskala isnt playing the good and cujo cant win accept for one game plz answer back

[wraparoundcurl]

Ahw you are killing me smalls! You don't even mention that save. You know which.

[SteveDangle]

Because I thought the video would run long :P It didn't. T'was redonk though. McGuire's reaction was classic

[wraparoundcurl]

It was all sorts of amazing. Jedi skills that one has.

[Zxceelxuz]

McGuire worries me. I like his enthusiasm, but he gets himself off track way too often, and his man crushes on the junior players makes me cringe. If I was Phaneuf I still wouldn't let the guy near me.

[Sundin13qotsa]

ohhh... sandlot reference. classic

and ya, great vid mr.dangle, im gettin tired of sayin that but ya, still watchin your vids and lovin em. Happy new year chief!

[mlc430]

hope the leafs can bounce back and i thought oh look we might beat canada for once!! oh wait its canada

[XxPenguinsFan87xX]

Ha ha the end of the video was too funny !

2:04 you randomly pull out a towel

[Ryder904]

Awesome ending, and great video!

[Leaffaninalberta]

steve your gonna be talking about the leafs losing A LOT this month cause I looked at the sked and the ONLY sure win is atlanta

[Zxceelxuz]

In hockey, there is never a sure win. Except against Atlanta, it's only shit luck if they manage to win :P

[dloghin]

i want tavares!!!

i'm not "tank nation", but he is something special, and the leafs need a marquee guy along the line of crosby or ovechkin and tavares could be it.

hopefully if we dont win the #1 draft pick in lottery, burke will pull some wicked sedin twin draft magic to get him

[courtenai1536]

Have you ever made a bloopers video?

[SteveDangle]

There's on on the facebook group. I'm going to post a couple from this one

[kewlnsimpguy]

that game was bad -_- hey add me on facebook wait its not too smart to put it on youtube lol whats urs?

[SteveDangle]

"SteveDangle is the man" ...I didn't call it that haha

[kewlnsimpguy]

rofl

[kewlnsimpguy]

well i commented on it lol ben ... rofl with the water on ur face funny thing is the devils are happy about prospect cormier on the canadian wjc team but when they beat kazaghstan 15-0 they were happy he had .. 1 assist i was like BOY O BOY HES SO SKILLED 1 ASSIST / 1 POINT per 15 goals damn that sucks

[tonylui28]

hmm only 5 canadians ehhh :P

[Dubinsky98]

your funny lol

[ddmcoulgh]

Awesome vid Steve!

[mapleleafs3513]

happy new year...THAT WAS SOME FUNNY SHIT!

[chrisiztheman1618]

do you think that the sens are gonna make the playofs?

[habs4life9]

who still thinks the sens are a playoff team?

[SteveDangle]

not me :P

[chrisiztheman1618]

oh well,if did do then ill be lmao.:P

another questions,how come you go on about how alanta and tamp suck(tampa sucks) but you never say how the sens stink or what ever?kinda weird,also do you think that the leafs have a better chance of making the playofs?

[SteveDangle]

Because Atlanta obviously sucks and I don't like Tampa's owners. I've mentioned Ottawa's suckage before, but just how baffled I am at why they suck. Look at that team! Is that a last place team? Come on, at WORST it's a borderline playoff team. Something's fishy in that lockeroom.

[Deempie92]

The Lightning-owners are the ones who have the EBF's.. They raped their new franchise as if is a toy..

The Lightning obviously have a really talented lineup, probably one of the most talented offenses in the league with Lecavalier, St. Louis, Meszaros, Malone, Jokinen, Smith.. I can go on like this for hours..

Ownership keeps on firing good coaches, trading away good players and letting goalies wear Commercial-masks (Saw masks?! WTF?!) just for media attention.. Such actions are EBF's..

[carmie1818]

Ottawa is terrible, who the hell gave you a "thumbs-down" for that.
