LFR3 - Game 20 - Category 6 - Car6 - Tor5 (SO)

[MiraBethy]

we cry and hibernate until next season

[tfw13]

honestly... after that game i have never been more pissed at the leafs and never have i been more ashamed of them... i still hate all NHL refs though

[locutus9956]

Nice one Steve funniest vid this season :)

I live in the UK so dont usually watch the game live but I saw the first period then went to sleep and watched the rest the next day and just... wow.... I cannot believe what I just saw :(

Still maybe well get one tonight, who are we up against tonight... oh crap.... ;)

[MAMGMOVIEFAN]

that was definatly a painful game to watch, its like, someone tied a win on the end of a stick, and as were running to reach it they keep yanking it away from us!

[Heffiewiggle]

I'm actually glad I didn't watch this one. I had an early shift the next morning at work, and the last time I checked the score it was 3-0. Ugh. Even though the Refs blew the call, the Leafs really let the Canes back into the game and blew a 3 goal lead.

[aplayaz2000]

o well, least we got KADRI

[sniperstar]

Sigh~ This whole week has just been bad calls by refs. Brad May's goal waved off. that White call. Not only hockey. Soccer too. Ireland got screwed on taht France goal ... Double offside then double hand ball to keep the ball in play and they score on the play .... like honestly

[link9650]

i know that game was so sht

[joaniemaloney]

haha, love the opening.

at least this disastrous season means you can keep making funny vids to cheer us up. right?

[XnightvisionX]

hey your forgot about the hit Ian white had, that was the biggest hit of the game lol cartwheel in the air

[fiddlestick89]

I LOVE the first 27 seconds.. it pretty much alone described the game lol

[Xfighter100]

Now..... The leafs continue sucking and give Boston the # 1 Pick =)

[modnarm]

all im sayin. 80 seconds left in game 7 annnnd they score 2 unanswered goals to beat NJ 4-3. yyyep.

so steve.. i suppose it COULD be worse.  But, i think just making the playoffs and getting to a game 7 would be an accomplishment and feel good for the Leafs, but man.. as a Devils fan.. those last 80 seconds are some of the worst 80 seconds of my ENTIRE LIFE, top 10 at least. You go from.. OOO we're winding down, they pulled the goalie.. we got a 1 goal lead.. we're so close! to... FAIL

[PensCast]

yay leafs! they're pullin it together <3 penguins fans are hoping for you guys!

[burttscornerbenny]

if finger had shot it high and hard off the glass with 9 to go leafs win. he got there first, what was he thinking! facing the wrong way when the puck went in as well

[cyber151]

So little things like: Defense actually being able to play D, forget it. Grit? Not needed. Just have a good powerplay. Forecheck? Who the hell needs that when you can just dive and get a powerplay.

The nhl you watch is the WORST the game has ever been. I dont know Steve if you have bought into the media b.s, but ive watched hockey all my life, and it sickens me to watch half the games now. The game has changed, but not for the better. Hockey is truly dead. The New Nhl was its coffin. R.I.P

[brutallyunbiased]

I'd disagree with that...I think the game is faster then ever, the skill level is better then ever, and there is far more offense then there was pre-lockout.

The refs aren't perfect, but they are a hell of a lot better then IIHF refs...and the reason why they miss some calls is because of the speed of the game.

[cyber151]

Steve Dangle~"I get it a refs job is hard".

No, you dont get it Steve. Its over. The nhl is TOTALLY ****ed up. The REFS SUCK. ITS ALMOST STAGE. ANY GAME can be completely ruined by their stupidity. The refs suck. The new rules suck: obstruction=defenders cant really do SHIT to speedy forwards ever, i understand clutching and grabbing, but if you even touch them, your going to the box. Chara, Pronger even struggle. The new NHL is all about biased bs refs, speedy and offense aka the Pens. LAME.

[StephaneDoucet78]

finally some who share's my oppnion about the so call new NHL (cyber151) new rules sucks !!! big time. bettman wants a more exiting game a power play is not more exiting to me! there a finje line between leting the players skate and calling a penalty each time the sick is paralel to the ice.. maby for people in the desert but not for reel hockey fans good jobe bettman let's make hockey more interesting for peopole in city where hockey comes as a 3rd or 4th sports fucking bettman

[LeafFan1221]

only in fucking carolina steve

[OV71toskala]

IF THEY CAN BRING UP SOME PROSPECTS FROM THE MARLIES BUT IF THEY WANT ONLY ONE PERSON TO CALL UP HANSON IS YOUR GUYY! that was a hyped up game but we lost :( scartch blake or wallin bring hanson or stalberg or bozak

[cyber151]

What makes any leaf fan think, that sending down nhlers, and bringing up not yet ready prospects will help? [EPIC FACE PALM] Let me explain something. The leafs are ranked 23rd worst in the league in prospect depth for a reason.Minus Kadri & Stallberg, they DONT HAVE A SINGLE other PROSPECT ranked in the top 100! Kadri is 15,Stallbergs in the late 80s. So all these guys:hanson, brodziak,tlusti,could have a little impact each game, thats it. Btw,Hall will beat Kessels in Goals & Points next year.

[4znwarrior10]

send away blake, wallin, and grabo and get decent players that would spice things up :D

[wardzig1993]

not grabo are you stupid? but the others yes and bring up hanson, bozak and stalberg

[4znwarrior10]

yea grabo doesnt even score -_-

[jayvardy]

actually he did

[Heffiewiggle]

3 goals in 19 games. OOOOOOOH what a powerhouse scorer.

[jayvardy]

13 points..... you freaking tool.

He is only in his second year and he has 13 points in 20 gmaes. Pace for 52 points on the second line playing with really shitty wingers in Hagman, Kulemin and Blake for most of the season.

If he got on the first line with Kessel he would be racking up even more points. This guy is going to be really good by the end of his 3 year deal with us.remember he already showed he could get 20 goals last year and this year a pace for 52 points.he will be 70 point guy

[Heffiewiggle]

@jayvardy We need scorers. And Grabovski has proven he can SCORE last year. He's not scoring, so we bench him and see how he responds. Worked great with Blake and Stajan last year. And you can't really make the point that he has crappy wingers, because he was playing alongside Hagman and Kulemin last year.

[jayvardy]

dude, hes our best player and leads the forwards in pts. if anyone gets benched it wont be him, it should be stajan but it wont be either.

[Heffiewiggle]

Grabo isn't our best forward. Phil Kessel has been scoring at nearly a point-a-game pace. 8 points in 9 games. Mikhail may lead the Leafs in points, but he hasn't performed to the level he did last year. If nobody's scoring, we need to hold all of them accountable, not just those who are scoring the least.

[jayvardy]

why would you get rid of Grabs hes the best forward this team has. He sholud be playing with kessel and poni

[fiddlestick89]

@jayvardy Agree, I think Grabs would actually work REALLY well with Kessel, Grabs has SPEED that can keep up with Phil, but the thing that may not work so well is that he doesn't really pass

[jayvardy]

Grabs can pass. if you watch him he makes alot of passes that his linemates overskate and dont handle etc.... also he does pass mind you he has more assists than goals which is what you want when your playing with Kessel. Grabs is a good player that deserves a chance to play with Kessel.

[avahey]

ok in my mind leafs won 5-4 because of that miss called penalty

[wardzig1993]

that's what i said

[mrFantasticfan111]

either Wilson's message isn't getting through to them or Wilson isn't being hard enough on them when they just bank on kessel and gustavvson

[mrFantasticfan111]

what the hell was stempniak doing in the shootout i've seen him have a few breakaways I think it was 2 or 3 in a single game and he didn't do jack shit. Why isn't hagman or blake in the shootout? I say fire Wilson he's too easy on the team when they win and they play like shit. Gustavvson stole like 7 games in a row and they only won 2. When your goalie is playing like that you should absolutely be winning EVERY game.

[kenziejb]

IAN WHITE HAD A FANTASTIC HIT AND FIGHT!!! When Cole scored, my mind exploded!!! i was soooo mad. I guarantee if the ref wasnt such a dumbass and gave White a penalty, we would've won. I have no idea what the leafs should do.

[chamndu]

XD punkd

[ItsOnLikeDonkeyKongg]

lmfao honestly i was a big fan of the leafs but right now i just dont even care anymore

[rjnrf]

honestly they have to do somthing quick. Im getting really fustrated!

[kewlnsimpguy]

what a gay name

[Pereira360]

N- boom!

[DashHopes1]

Noooooooooooo lol.

[StephaneDoucet78]

conspiracy

[hockeycanada7]

I Agree!!!

[mrFantasticfan111]

agreed

[theforgottenking07]

yes sir...im starting to beleive that

[31HockeyDude]

playoffs are definitely out of the question. Leafs season is over! lol

[CANHEADS]

I walked into the room and saw leafs up 4-2, so from there I started guessing when the goals were going to be scored against them. The third period was ridiculous but by the way the leafs have played this year it was very predictable.

[RedWingFan1340]

If you thought these refs were bad, then go watch the Dallas/ Detroit game from Wednesday. That was the worse officiating I've seen in years.

[CANHEADS]

I watched only the third period, and I swore it was a comedy sketch it was so ridiculous...

[robhenry420]

GO RAPTORS GO!!!!

[calvaryservices]

Right on, right on...

[Calvin7]

umm guys you CANT CALL UP KADRI.

[screwlstew]

Not as many radio and tv interviews these days by the great Burkie.

[tripleo7]

lol nice vid...i cant believe it either...:S

BRING BACK BOZAK AND KADRI!!!

[Kate1087]

This was really the hardest loss to take.... I know 29th in the league isnt anywhere NEAR good but heck we went last.... now... we are :( Im so Mad/Sad/ Dont even friken know what to think! :( I answerd your "what now" question Early this morning when I first watched it.... But!!! what do you think should happen now?

[buffington80]

great intro steve very funny. Im at a loss now. We are the worst team in the league and the fans seem to be the only ones who care. We need something big to happen, what that is I dont know but something. Is it me or should Kessell try to keep his disappointment about his teammates a little more under wraps. When Kaberle didnt pass him the puck on the PP in the first it seemed like he was calling him on it on the ice in front of everyone. Please hockey gods, save us from calling the season over!

[ksoul4]

if i were Kessel, I'd be pissed to. He has pretty much kept the leafs in every single game. His presence on the ice alone creates pressure for opposing defenders. The fact that he is still trying for this sad excuse of a hockey team shows. And yes i'm at a loss for words too, this is getting out of hand. And the worst thing is, there really isn't anything Burke can do about it. A trade will not make this team better, prospects should be playing for the marlies so stop with the call up whoevers..

[beatle11]

Lol...we just got PUNKED!!!! That's the exact feeling I had last night. I'm laughing and crying at the same time.

[dc619]

Heads will not roll, Burke loves WIlson, Blake is American (as is RW), so don't expect anything, maybe a European moved for more Americans...since obviously the USA are the hockey gods of the world, where Europe, who dominates the US in hockey all the time, isn't..

Fuck Burke, Fuck Wilson, Fuck MLSE, Fuck this team

[brutallyunbiased]

Agreed. We don't even have a decent draft pick to look forward to.

[Smuttfu]

@dc619

Do you have any idea how stupid you appear?

[dc619]

I only speak the truth...

[kovalev27c]

Haha as a habs fan i don't know if i should laugh or cry that boston is getting the next two years first round draft picks. Brian Burke fails at life.

[bobblehead1706]

The only thing left to do is........Pray. In the name of the father and then son and the holy...."spirit is everything"

[mifa619]

im so pissed right now, but im gunna keep watching these idiots cuz im a bigger idiot

[jimmyjazz420]

bring in kadri

[carmie1818]

You can't "bring in Kadri"...he is too young, and he is also playing like shit..he is 60th in OHL scoring.

Don't listen to Don Cherry.

[mrFantasticfan111]

plus once a player is sent to the OHL you can't bring them up for the rest of the season..

[SteveDangle]

He's doing better. He's finally at a point a game. He started awful. He won't finish top 10 like many assumed, largely because even if he played great, un-drafted guys like Hall and Seguin are killing the points race anyway.

[carmie1818]

Hey Steve...in the future, try to refrain from uttering those 2 names....they upset me.

[jimmyjazz420]

he can come in for at least ten games. how old was schen

[carmie1818]

You can't bring a junior player back up after you send him down...they are there for the duration.

[gohabsgo27AK]

Brandon Sutter >>>

[justamania]

has never been THIS disappointed and upset the next day after a Leafs loss. They LOST to the Hurricanes people. Sure there was a flew blown calls but the fact they had a 3-0 lead and didnt capitalize on that is what came back to harm them in the end. I can't take much more of this but sadly im dumb and will continue to watch

[CurlyFriesForLife]

I hate it when the refs screw up big. Like in that Dallas-Detroit game. The ref who called that game actually had the rules on his side, but jeez, it still was a screw up in my book.

[LyricsCo]

This Video was jokes "THIS VIDEO IS OVER! For me i really don't know what the leafs should do... I know... CALL UP BOZAK, TLUSTY AND STALBERG

[MRHAB50]

ya call up bozak and kadri and leafs will win 5 in a row!!!!!!!!

[fiddlestick89]

The Refs screwed last nights game over.. nuff said, they missed 1 bajillion penaltys on both teams, and they gave the Leafs punishment for Carolina abusing their own teammates..

[johx88]

On alot of the goals scored against the Leafs there seems to be total chaos in the Leafs defense. It's way too common that the opponent is first to the rebound or that they get like four whacks at it with no one just pushing them outta the way. They've gotta compete more around their own net.

[immortalkillaz]

You gotta admit though,this looks like its straight out of a movie script.the home team is down 3-0 they start roaring back 3-2 but then get set back again 4-2,than another roat back for 4-3.A Miracle happens and they get a 4min oppurtunity to tie it up only to give up the lead to the guy who got sent to the box for 4mins.Only to roar back AGAIN via eric cole who happenes to be the guy that got nailed by white who sat for the double minor.Its ridiculous!

[castonguay111]

Excellent vid as ever. Impeccable analysis. And I have laughed my soul out. Keep up your excellent work. I prefer to laugh at it than to be despaired GO L..., GO LEagh..., GO LEAFS GO.

[immortalkillaz]

The ending is hysterical  "THIS VIDEO IS OVER"

leafs did get boned pretty hard on that double minor though.

[MrBobgil]

Well if they are going to change it up.

BENCH: Luke Schenn, Jason Blake, Matt Stajan.

I like Luke Schenn alot...but he needs a wake up call...badly. Same with Matt. Jason Blake...TRADE: Jason Blake. before hes told old and no one will take him.

[Kate1087]

I think we need to make some call ups, Change things up a bit, its painfuly obvious that what we're doing isnt working for us ... at all. The team isnt working together well at all. I know some goals and calls were Serisouly .... CRAPPY but thats life.... I don't even know what to think about it anymore theres a bad start to a season then there's our seaon thus far.... Good shot leafs fans are so friken faithful! I still love my leafs I always will, I jsut need a reason to love them more now :(

[Kate1087]

Of the loses that we had this season... THAT was the hardest to take... We lost to the worst team in the league... IN turn... making US the worst team in the league... MY heart broke!!! But onto you question... You ask what now.... Now I think we need to start getting guys fighting for their job.... We got a few guys down in the marlies who are killing( from what I understand) and who I beleive could make a change to this team... that we obviously NEED!!!

[Kate1087]

What now.... Good friken question! We 1 then 2 then we hit 3-0... I was So Excited I didn't quite know what to do with myself!.... then it hit 3-2... I figured... EH! we still got the lead... A tie.... then another tie! Ending the end of the 3rd when we got that 5th goal I figured Game over there's no way we're losing now, Happy dance all ready to go.... and Eric friken Coal... hit the back of the net.... I seriously wanted to cry!!! .... I Love the leafs I always will but out of all out of all

[bnoseworthyy]

They only did so well in pre-season 'cause they actually crashed the net. Now it seems like the net is the wrong place to be in their eyes, since they never go there. Plus firing Wilson sounds like a good idea, but it's not all at the same time. He's doing his job fine, just during games he doesn't seem to care too much about out comes. Wallin needs to be put on waivers. Blake needs to take a seat for a few games to reclaim composure. And have Stalberg and Hanson come up on the same line.

[adamhockeyp]

Thanks for the number 1 pick suckers

[CynBin20]

ridiculous!

[DobeHK]

This is just the worst team in Leafs history... Like I've been cheering all year long... and I can't take it nemore...

Change has to happen if we can't even beat the Hurricanes after having a 3-0 lead!!!!

If Bozak, Hanson and/or Stallberg don't called up soon... someone is going to get fired...

...."And the Boston Bruins select for the #1 draft pick Taylor Hall"!...

[brisbane2001]

Can we clone 'the missile' kessel? Bring back Mats? Remove truculence?

[fatso2992]

I am angry and we cant sy the reason we lost every game was because of a bad break. Hurricanes dont even have ward in net so the leafs got some goals they probably shouldnt have. Ron wilson needs to be fired, this team is better than they were last year on paper but they are dead last. I dont know why they dont bring back kadri and the college line, what can be the harm in that? they cant be any worse than dead last. Give the future players some experience.

[NotoriousRacer]

ugh... this game was a nightmare.... and if heads are gonna roll... i want jason blake gone, he's a waste of cap space

[RichRoma66]

Write off the Leafs they are a disgrace!! I hear Hamilton is looking for a market. Bring on the Hamilton Steelheads and BRAND NEW MANAGEMENT and OWNERSHIP!! Leafs are an absolute joke and have hit lower than rock bottom

[xCaroI1435]

just...WOW........wow...

[LeafsBiggestFan]

no words..... no comments.... nothing...

[Spacenut77]

The Leafs need a leader,I've said it before and I'll say it again...Ian White is that man 'C' Jeez he had a Gordie Howe hat trick last night as well....

[jdcrazyfan]

face...palm!

that can just about summarize the season eh?

[SteveDangle]

Haha bingo

[4ad2be]

its time for leafs fan to bring paper at the game and wear it for every losses and throw tennis balls we have to show how angry we are

[shdaow00]

If you compare this years team to last years team, on paper I don't see how we're this crappy of a squad... but paper IS just paper. I think the Leafs should start benching some Vets, and call up sparkplugs like Stalberg, Bozak and Tlusty who have faired decently while up with the big club. The only players I see tradeable that would possibly yield decent return while not crippling the Leafs entirely would be Toskala and Poni... but I see neither happening. Off to the conrner to cry...

[No1TMLFan]

We have been punk'd. Genius, man, Genius.

[detroitZMAN]

Ref's have been absolutely HORRIBLE lately...(for a couple of years actually). Take a look at Brad May's (Wings v. Stars Nov. 18) goal that was ruled dead and not a goal...even though the ref blew the whistle a good 3 seconds after the puck was in the net...so i guess ref's have the power to take away goals now if they so choose. Bettman and his minions need to visit Doctor Ramani

[phatmike21]

I have the exact same reaction as you Steve. But, in years past ive always thought "Oh well, we need a top 5 draft pick to boost out prospect pool". This year I just want to cry, because somewhere right now a Boston fan is laughing, while watching youtube clips of Taylor Hall.

[BryanErnst]

The leafs have not had many calls or breaks go their way this season at all, two of witch tonight. What next? Trade kaberle to Boston for our pick back.

[LegendKiller410]

One of the craziest in game story's I have witnessed

[brquad]

I mean what can be done. Tight with the cap and got to let the kids grow with the Marlies. Cross your fingers everyone and pray hard we don't finish in the bottom 5.

[wallner67]

a ref's job is hard, unless he's calling a toronto game. then all he has to do is make sure the calls go against the leafs. joking aside, what exactly do the leafs need to do to catch a break? even a tiny one would be good right about now...

[RoxasKeyofDestiny]

This made my night....I missed the game and was following the tweets on twitter to see how the game went and totally thought I was being punked when the 'Canes came back....

I don't think it's ever hurt so much to be a Leafs fan...I'm actually scared for some of the players..

[bsb1387]

lol watching Steve's post game reaction videos make me feel better about all these stupidd loses!

everyone needs to stop going to the games and stop buying leafs merchandise

just like me and my friends.

just watch as the profit goes down...the owners will THEN get WORRIED when they stop making MONEY.

[stangsgoalie31]

one of ur best vids steve lol keep up the good work and as for what now...

wait till next year???

[SlimLPShady]

that was a bullcrap game....woo steve i can tell your mad so fast that grin wooo.

[choppstikkx]

uhhhhhhhh... no comment

[MOMOarabe]

lol funny shit

[Jraw72]

Beer bottle, meet TV screen. TV screen, meet beer bottle.

[Mattotoole3]

And after this, all I can do is laugh and shake my head. As for moves im gonna be realistic, I want Wilson gone but Burke will never fire him, put someone good with Kessel (perhaps Grabo?) and I say Blake stops taking power skating and watches some hockey tapes on what he does night in and night out, nothing

[LanceK17]

Leafs are the unluckiest team ever. Thats my explanation and I'm sticking to it. How many bad breaks can a team get?! Come on Hockey Gods!

[jayvardy]

lets start or continue with the tear down. 'Wilson, Blake, Stempo, Mitchell, and Stajan all need to go instantly they are garbage. At least let Bozak, Stalberg, Tlusty, and Hanson get some NHL experience with whats left of the season.

Put Grabovski with Kessel already. that man trys his best every game and has the most offensive flare of all forwards not to mention his and Kessels speed and hands would work well together. Ponicouldplaycentrehesabigmana­ndcouldbethebigbodyweneeddownt­he middle

[MetaRayy]

I'm having trouble expressing any feeling. it's like laughterangerexplosionlaughter is all stuck at this bottle neck.

Karma was fksjcking fair tonight. White gets his revenge goal, so does Cole.

Except leafs are too shitty this year to finish the job.

[jediscum11]

What now? It's time to panic!

[SpecialboyMikey]

it's time for Burke to drop the axe that's what

[CabanaGuy]

we should get wendy back

[MrFlyerGuy]

It's a quarter into the season and I can honestly say it's been very surprising. The Leafs have obviously been the most surprising but, Did anyone actually think that at some point this entire season that the Yotes/Kings would be battling for second place in the Pacific Division?

[ExxonPirate]

I had this idea, and I know it's kinda out-there, but here it goes.

I was thinking since the teams soo bad, Brian Burke should trade the entire team, right? In exchange for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

[leaffan27]

a few options, some more realistic than others:

a.) teach the Leafs how to kill penalties

b.) play someone with Kessel who can get him the puck....Bozak?

c.) show Jon Mitchell how to block a shot when there's only 4 seconds left

d.) dump the whole team and make 21 Ian White clones to fill out the roster

e.) tough it out, because honestly, I didn't really expect this team to do well....makes me miss Sundin even more

[ExxonPirate]

I'd rather have the Coyotes XD lol. jk.

[KBroly]

The Hurricanes TV feed didn't make any mention about them kicking the puck in the net during overtime. Conspiracy!

[CaptainKishimoto]

I was kind of thinking in the long run, losing this game would probably be better for the Leafs. I mean if we had actually won that game, we probably would be going with the same lineups and continue on losing after that. Hopefully now Burke will make a move, or people can actually start sitting and bring in some fresh blood.

[bluejacketsbabe1361]

hilarious stuff...no paper eating though? totally bogus call on White! You ask "What now?" , I say fire Wilson, and find an AHL or CHL coach who can work with these young players and improve their performances night in and night out...maybe a guy like Willie Desjardins in Medicine Hat or Mark French in Hershey??? What do you think is next?

[distortedtruthshow]

Steve, it could be worse. You could`ve had the refs from the Dallas/Detroit game.

[Stevin100]

now we pray.

[crazyperson3245]

beauchemin was lucky there were no hurricane players in front of the net when he made that stupid pass right infront of gustavsson

[PITtownPEN87]

that sucks how do let a team score with 1.9 seconds left bad D. sorry Steve always next year to look forward too.

[clayman1919]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­. i wanna beatmy head in with a hammer. fucking leafs. god damn. i hate being shit for like 4 years straight.

[Ovechwin]

Awesome vid! Love the intro and the end!

[gunsnroses123456789]

WORST SEASON EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tmlShady]

Leafs always have bs/unlucky games against the canes, remember the game when antropov got suspended

[maxdistortion]

this was ridonkulous...i cant believe the ref's call on Ian white..hockey gods are laughing...

Finger, Schenn, Beauchemin...were all HORRIBLE...

[HubertQuakenbush]

What now? who knows.... dont lose to Washington by more than 5 HAH

[beleafer22]

that was SAD....sad to be a leafs fan right now

[jayvardy]

LMFAO @ the beginning

[tmlShady]

LMAO awesome intro
