Etch-a-sketch has entered the chat: Are we going to let Steve get away with the magna doodle shake n shake gone?
Mitch was really hustling tonight, even Willy played some D, overall Leafs looked pretty good. Brodie still looks half assed, but…
COngrats leafs fans, from an oiler fan.
As a Saskatoon Blades and a Leafs fan, i pray everyday that Fraser Minten doesn't get traded, now i dont think he will, its just scary 😂
im happy for the win and 2 points, but congrats leafs you were able to get 5 goals this time, most of which from your core four. will that happen again next game and every game from here on out? of course not.
Blue room, pasty looking white guy shout yep its that guy who doesn't cover the Stanley cup final every year!!
Tavares' assist on that Nylander goal was absolute bully behaviour. The defender was lucky Tavares didn't hang him from his locker by his underwear.
4:52 i mean. . . Hes not wrong 😏😂
Benoit the best
Please stand pat. Please keep the draft picks we have….
Surely there is a couple of big D men out there who could play for the leafs so we can send TJ Brodie and Liligren to tiptoe around for another team. Lost count on how many times we lose battles against the boards and poor defensive options they make game after game.🏴🏴
I like when the buds win. It means happy Steve 🙂
You're right Steve…. Nylander is back and we get to see his lazy habits edging back to the level we expect to see them. Not that over achieving is something we should grow to expect from him.
We should trade Bertuzzi for Zadorov and Lafferty
I turn away for like 1 min after Dadonov's penalty shot to find the 2bcproductions Dadonov clip so I can make a joke and come back and the leafs are up 5-3
Producer drew happy that the leafs helped the avalanche by defeating the stars and denying the stars a point.
as a blues fan i wouldn’t be surprised if the leafs look at marco scandella idk about his numbers but he has played a lot better this season for us playing with scotty p mostly and holding it down probably wouldn’t cost that much
Trade deadline trades seem to never work, specially in TO , they are NOT a contender this year I’m sorry they just ain’t, and making a move at the deadline to just help for the playoffs, when you don’t even know you’ll make the playoffs, is wrong, unless it’s a deal they could do in the offseason that will help this team in the long run, especially on D, then no stand pat, and you better make sure you do this right , because that involves loosing a core guy , and believe it or not, some people ain’t going to like it, that’s why I think it’s been so hard for this team to NOT sign these four guys to deals like they have, or I should say , sign all of them to those deals, when was the last time this team has had 2 quality players non the less 4 quality guys on this team?? Sure they are the same type of player and that does not work, and at their asking prices in a hard cap league, but when in years down the road and this team is like a team like other teams right now rebuilding, we will look back and go , we didt win a cup, not to date anyway, but that was fun.
I want zadorov
"One feels a lot more dad, the other feels a lot more daddy" is a great way to compare Tavares to Seguin
Victory puppy Ziggy?!?!?!
would be honestly hilarious for Dony TAngelo to get shipped out to canada, pretty much like an exile for the states… maybe preferably Winnipeg so hes even more miserable
Biggest conundrum in life, wanting Dallas to lose, but knowing you going to miss Steve’s rant video
Steve, that game 7 joke was incredible.
Parade back on!
Great job here Steve!

0:00 to 0:07 is very true
Darcy Tucker vibes from Jake McCabe at the end of the second period.
Bertuzzi basically doesn’t play with a stick (!) This is DEAD ON, He’s a whirlwind of feet, legs and arms missing EVERYTHING he tries to do. Another poor signing by the Toronto brain trust. Core 4 all scoring, they did ALL the scoring, ‘Nuf said… So many holes in this lineup…
Lfg leafs! Good game boys
Matthews is a bear on loose pucks.
Nylander is a unicorn when he has the puck.
Bertuzzi is just plain snake-bit.
I'd love to have Kadri back but we need a d man first and foremost
It was a very sentimental and emotional game for me last night. I had a dear college friend of mine who I lost last March. I knew him for eight years, but it seemed like I knew him forever.
He got into hockey in 2014. He became a Leafs fan because they were the top rival of the team with the most titles in the NHL (Montréal). Even in the midst of the infamous Randy Carlyle era, he chose to root for them. His support for them never wavered in the hardest of times. He made sure to watch every LFR. Steve was a guy he could sympathize with about the insanity of being a fan of this team (as many of you can attest to).
He also had an amazing Leafs jersey collection. Matthews, Kadri, heck even one with his own name and number on it. I had my fandom of the Leafs as a way of bonding with him and I enjoyed the young core they were building at the time. I got a William Nylander jersey on Christmas 2016. We had many days in college where we'd twin in them – I'd wear Nylander, he'd wear Matthews.. We got a picture together in them which stands to be our favorite picture together. At his funeral, the dress code was sports jerseys. Once I found that out, I knew which one I was gonna wear. There was no other choice. That's what he would have wanted.
There's no doubt if he were still around, we would have had a great time reacting to the game and talking about it. With a game as good as last night's was, it would have been an amazing experience. He and I bonded over so many things and had numerous conversations about everything for hours. Hockey was just one of the many ways we came together.
Every time the Stars and Leafs play I get emotional because I recall all the good times we had watching hockey, especially when these two teams face off against each other. I remember he took much joy in 2015-16 when the Peter Horacek Leafs swept the season series against the eventual Central Division winning Stars. Then the next year in Matthews rookie season they laid an egg against the terrible Stars in Dallas. I remember repeatedly saying the Leafs were gonna walk all over them. He was so mad at me 😂
It was so fitting that Matthews and Nylander both scored last night. Granted it's more likely to happen than not, but it was still sweet to see.
In honor of him, I'm wearing my Nylander jersey today. I know that's what we would have done today.
I love and miss him everyday. RIP Garrett, my friend. Until we meet again.
💙
Producer Drew, please put “I’m not wrong on this” in next year’s LFR intro!
I'm gonna guess we're getting Christopher Tanev
Markstrom would be a game changer for Toronto
eafs powerplay clicking on all cylinders and a good third period provided the win
What I want to know is, why does Dallas love playing their backup against us? Oettinger has an 0-2 record against the Leafs in his 4+year career. Wedgewood has an 0-4 record in what is now about 2 years with the Stars.
can we crowd source a goal for Bertuzzi?
Good for Willy, but what about that attempt at the empty net that would have sealed the win instead of making it another nail biter? All he had to do was take a few more strides, maybe take it into the face of that Dallas player. Instead, it's a lazy, safe shot from the wrong side of the red line, that misses.
I just learned that Steve calls an Etch-a-sketch a “magnet doodle”
Hey I watch win videos too.
Go Sabres.
As a flames fan I don’t want to deal to the leafs, I feel like any trade we would make would be unbalanced and eventually end up with us losing the trade at least imo, not to mention in our little retool we’re doing right we can’t make any trades for a lot of draft picks due to torontos draft capital being small
Funny side story:
I went scrolling through my YouTube feed last night trying to find the leafs game highlights (don't generally getnto watch the games) and the first thing I scrolled past related to the game was an image of Willy sitting shirtless smiling in a post-game interview… I then knew they won😂
Oddly enough that look on Marners face looks like confusion to me.
I’ve been hoping for a package including Kadri (if Calgary can take on some salary)He’s a gritty centre who’s won a cup and would provide depth in the playoffs.Can fill in 2nd line centre to move Tavares over next year.
Marner is cookin
