This is Steve Dangle’s Joker origin story
🤣
I fully expected Shannon to begin with "My condolences to Steve Dangle's wife, his family and friends..."
He's been a joker for a long time now 😅
LOL, truth!
“I used to think the leafs losing was a tragedy, but then I realized they’re a comedy”
The most believably unbelievable result
Well said 😄
@Ronan Farmer yeah that’s what I was thinking
Ya I was saying to my buddy I have never been so shocked and not shocked all at once lol
Perfect way to put it.
When you look at statistics, the results after game 6 was predictable. It is the leafs after all 😂
Clearly the hockey gods wanted to see Hellebuyck vs Price more than McDavid vs Matthews.
Goalie battles are always more fun
Who changed the 69?
It was there a few seconds
Price!!!!!
100%. Those rich kids are overrated
There's one game that comes to mind when I think about this series: 28-3. Toronto had Montreal right by the throat and they slowly let them back in it. Come overtime/Game Seven, the Falcons/Leafs lie down and die to both their eventual opponent and the mockery of fanbases everywhere. I'm thinking Toronto makes drastic changes after this. They shouldn't, but I have no idea what you do if you're them.
It almost seems that they WANT to lose and be the laughing stock of the league
I remember the 6 shot on net game versus Jersey in the 2000 ECSF. They wouldn't let us do anything in that game.
Oh heyyyy Tree. I just watched your video and then came to THG. Almost like the KZhead algorithm knows what content I’m thinking of...
What changes can be made? What team would want to trade for one of the big invisible 3 and all the leafs can do is resign a few pieces but they'll never have the cap space to sign anyone of importance. Who could have predicted signing unproven players to highly paid long term deals would end badly?
Blow it up.
You know shit is serious when The Hockey Guy doesn’t say “Welcome back” at the start of the video…
Hahaha
Maybe “here we go again?”
"Welcome back" is what the golf course guys say to the leafs
@@fishby8070 that's a good one.
@@michaelruddy9610 he wasn’t having any of it.
I’m ready for the wrath of Urinating Tree and Steve Dangle
Ehhh Tree already burned the fanbase. At this point he's beating a dead horse.
Dangle is just sad.
@@davidwhidden9337 well the Leafs lost to the Habs so he may have something cooked up this time, especially after 5 years of failure to win round 1
I think it speaks louder for Utree to not make a video
Steve on the Watch leafs games with Steve was just disappointed like not even mad just sad and disappointed with the team.
"I picked Toronto because I want to win a Stanley Cup." Joe Thornton
He was talking 1950-51 Strat-O-Matic
I’m glad he fell short. Maybe he will finally retire.
Too be fair the Toronto maple leafs went out and got Joe Thornton to help them win a cup....lol.
LOL 😂
Taylor Hall picked Buffalo, and it was a better choice. He is at least in Round 2!
My guy put more effort on this board than the whole Leafs team did in their play tonight.
This might be Shannon’s most viewed game review of the season. Congrats Shannon!
I'm a pittsburgh fan and I auto clicked the notification lol
12K views at 22 minutes out!
I am in shock. I can not believe they pulled it off
30 minutes in and 20k views. Shannon is probably hoping that Toronto continues to have 1st round exits so his ad revenue and CPM keep going up 😂
This video will be his most viewed video ever.
U know its bad when Shannon's mad at a team he doesn't even cheer for lol.
Shannon is about to burn his Leafs jersey...
You're right lol, Shannon is actually angry lol
Ya they had no effort . Just look at Mackinnon , he wants to win more then he wants a 10 mil contract.
It’s obvious to tell he’s mad but Idk why he’s mad cause he’s not a leafs fan lol
@@mikeJones-zo8si I couldn’t agree more, Nathan is such a badass. It’s called a team Kyle, not four players making 1/2 the cap. Hahahaha.
When they said everything was going back to normal after COVID…boy they sure weren’t kidding…
The leafs and oilers choking is par for the course, even covid couldn’t change that
Prices post game interview says everything about him. Look like he just woke up from a nap! Man is calm AF.
Easy to be calm AF when you only get shots from the point for 40 minutes. And this video speaks of the other problem - they kept shooting right at the goalie. You’re meant to go around him.
For a guy who has never won the Cup and definitely won't do so in Montreal, he is quite calm. They really wasted his career. Reminds me of a certain goalie who just recently retired from the Rangers. So many great years, gone to waste. It's a shame really.
@@johnnyfry2 Largely true, Price was a great prospect coming into the NHL. Since then he had a couple of average years, then great years under a defensive minded GM with a the most defensive minded coach. As any goalie would've, but sure - he was good. In the last 4 years, since they changed their game to be more in line with how offensively any other team plays, Price has been average. He was below average this year, last year, good the year before and absolutely garbage the year before that. Leafs were held to poor chances during these last couple of games as the Hockey Guy also says.. it's not thanks to Price, it was thanks to their defense and trap play. And as he also says, when Leafs got a rare decent chance their shoots were poor. I can only agree with the Hockey Guy, a rare non-biased hockey fan. But from here I'll cheer on the Habs, if you can believe it.
One reporter said he saw Price yawning between periods during the Gold medal game a few years ago. I knew when he started bouncing the puck around on his glove after a save in game 6 he was in the zone.
@@sweetswing1 He also made at least 1 mistake that led to a goal in each of the first 4 games... he was 'zoned in' only when habs played a super solid D game. Weird huh. But sure, he was good. The average goals against in the playoffs is less than 2 goals/game, so keep that in mind. Basically, on average any goalie in the playoffs will play well, thanks to teams more defensive minded.
“Don’t feel bad for the leafs, feel bad for the leafs fans” -Former Leafs Fan
Think I’m joining you in the ‘former Leafs fan’ category
I do feel bad for the fans, but other than that this is absolutely hilarious 😂
I will always be a leaf fan but this just ruins my love for the game
When are they moving out of Toronto, obviously something wrong there
Former leaf fan lol.
I use to think the Leaf's losing ways were a tragedy. Then I realized: They're a comedy.
Hey Murray, wanna hear another joke?
Black comedy.
Comedy is tragedy plus timing...
@@beardupbeerdown7355 Shannahan will say that to Dubas right before axing him.
@@mattblom3990 glorified zamboni driver, but still only the 2nd most glorified zamboni driver in Toronto history 😂
"They're not built for the playoffs." That's the most damning thing you can say about a team with this kind of payroll. The Leafs are spending money to sell jerseys and tickets in October.
Probably would have won had Tavares not been injured. I didn't realize how flimsy the roster was under pressure. Had the Leafs winning this series but I have no qualms with seeing the the curse continue.
@@Radeo Let's be honest. It would still ended up here, just a different way. The whole always seems to be less than the sum of its parts.
Built for the President's Trophy.
@@Radeo They won games 2,3 and 4 without Tavares so.......
@@Radeo they played great, they just clearly don't know how to finish off a team fighting for it's life. whether that comes with growth or new personnel in that core is yet to be determined.
I gotta say, with all the tech we have today, and the graphics and powerpoint styles and cool animations, I will always prefer Shannon's method of classic whiteboard to any animated graphic used high production media. This is so personable, so real
hear hear
The whiteboard is a classic for a reason XD It helps people think.
Marner: 5 career playoff goals, 5 career playoff puck over the glass penalties
That's a oof
Thats a dang it.
Is that true? Thats crazy. The hell is he thinking? Nerves?
why is everyone on Marner? he was a PK and defensive beast. Matthews was useless the whole series and not 1 shot attempt in the first ... but no can't call him out or someone will have to fly to Arizona again to apologize!!
If that’s true that’s one hell of a stat. With all the other stupid ass stats they come up with this should be included.
As a leafs fan I would like to sincerely congratulate the Montreal Canadiens and the fans on winning the series.
Gg to the leafs, it Will be an interesting offseason to them at least
Stay classy, gg
gg to you sir. tbh im a habs fan and if toronto were against another team, i wouldve cheered for them
You sir, are a class act and a true gentleman.
Well sir Dr. Hockey, you may just have to channel good old Dr. Frankenstein and delve into the dark arts to ever see the Maple Leafs win. Build an army of undead killer zombie giants, but the only reason they kill being they are so misunderstood. But the Toronto media and fans would rip them apart for their unenthusiastic post game interviews consisting of grunts and the rare moan of disgust. The fans calling out the team for literally not having a heart, and having it be literal this time and not just a figure of speech. But lets be real, as entertaining as that sounds for a Hollywood script, the real life outcome hasn't disappointed in pure drama of entertaining value. I am sorry your team lost, and in fact I don't like the Canadiens either, if a team in Canada won I would prefer it to be Winnipeg! My team hasn't even won a game yet in fact, I have liked hockey since I was about 9 (which was longer ago than I want to say) but I have been waiting for Seattle to have a team that whole time. I do not live in Seattle but rather Spokane, WA, but all the pro teams for our state belong there for more local fan support. And so now the dream will be coming true this summer even more, and I will look forward to the first time the Kraken and Leafs showdown just as I will for every opponent. I have liked the NHL this whole time but I don't have any one team I have been loyal to, and I am happy to say now I can for sure tell people who my favorite team is and be proud, and maybe someday they will be breaking my heart but thats part of being a fan. But believe me I like most other sports too and have learned not to take my team losing too seriously and remind myself its just a game and not let it affect my mental health. As long as its fun its all good. But if its becoming depressing then you have to take a step back and rethink your priorities. You sound like you have a good handle on yourself so salute to you. Yes I go overboard on how long my comments go, but I am on a PC with a keyboard so its easy!
Somewhere, Mike Babcock is smiling...
Hahaha! INDEED!!
I love how THG has the same energy as that one uncle you always look forward to seeing to talk sports with

@@nicolasgendreau9277 noooooo! The Halak Stop signs were awesome!
Nobody picking the Habs in this series: Price: “and I took that personally...”
Yes he did.
If you look up “clutch” in the dictionary it says “Carey Price”.
I DID
Took the Habs in 7 before the series & was called not a true leafs fan
I picked the habs in 7 I have no faith in what Kyle has done to this team.
Sheldon Keef had the number one team in Canada in the OHL. In the playoffs I went to go watch my first game and it was against McDavid. It took me one period to say if the coach doesn’t adjust his game plan when McDavid is on the ice the Greyhounds are going to lose. He didn’t do anything and McDavid single handedly ate them up. Same here. Habs had a game plan while Keef was hoping his stars would win it on skill alone.
Shannon, I just want to remind you about how special your channel is. About the passion you talk hockey, about your unbiased love for the game. There is no other channel or person that captures what you do on a daily basis. I know people give you your respect when it's due, but I just wanted reach out and remind you. Yours truly, a Red wings rebuilding fan
You know it's bad when The Hockey Guy doesn't cheer for your team, and he's mad.
He also pulls for Vancouver to add insult to injury
The Leafs looked like they went into this game with no confidence.
Price was clearly in their heads.
Choking - it's what they always do in a game 7.
3 previous years of losing in ultimate games was something that gets in their head
there was more fight and heart in the game 2 of bruins/isles than the game 7 of leafs/habs
@@willymayeshayes7870 That's for damn sure. The Bruins fought back in the third period to tie it. Matthews and Marner are overpaid Prima Donna pussies.
During the regular season we thought the question as to whether the Leafs were truly a contender or just the best team in the North was going to be answered by "let's see what happens when they're matched up with the other division winners." They couldn't even get halfway through their own division. And as a Canes fan I am happy to see Eric Staal contributing to his team's success.
Canes fan here, too. Staal did a good job for the Habs. Good for him.
Congrats to the Habs and their fans for the heart they showed in every game after being down 3-1 in the series. Leafs had it but didn't want it enough. Congrats and good luck the rest of the way.
Your username is very fitting for the Leafs
You know how much the Toronto Maple Leafs have failed when TGH gets calmly fired up and actually says their epic choke job is worse than when the Boston Bruins blew that 3-0 lead against the Philadelphia Flyers in 2010 and the Vancouver Canucks choking their 3-1 series lead away against the Minnesota Wild in 2003
As a Sharks fan, I remember when the Kings came back from 3-0. I felt that kind of vibe for Toronto with this one. That Sharks team you could tell folded over when Vlasic went out. With no Tavares or Muzzin, the Leafs were done once Perry scored. They had given up.
@@6Snaus and Thornton was there for both
@@6Snaus except that Kings team was a sleeping giant. No disrespect to the Habs, but they aren't the Kings!
@@dereksbooks Correct, these Habs are better. But the best is the Jets.
@@dereksbooks I was comparing more to the idea that two regular season monsters lost a key player early in the series and it showed the true character of the team once that piece was gone. Vlasic for the Sharks, and I think Muzzin was a bigger loss than realized for Toronto.

We only catch ghosts who are threats at the end of the day lol
@@spottyhead I guess they could become Casper's new friends... They ain't afraid of no-goals.
As I was watching this game it was clear the leafs had no passion, no vision, no aggression, no mindset
Agreed. They're trying to be clinical, when they need to get dirty. Unfortunately, they don't really have the roster for that. Just not a team built for the playoffs.
Both teams were off. I think they were exhausted! I mean maybe I'm wrong but there's clearly a difference in energy of games 1-4 and 5-7. Not saying all teams are too tired in game 7 and have that excuse. Few guys stood out like Kerfoot and Nylander.
I saw Habs checking the Leafs into the ice. Mr Regular Season MVP didnt get it done....again.
Prediction: Shannon gets 250k subs before Leafs win a round.

Steve broke last game especially with his LFR video. This game on his "Watch leafs games with Steve Dangle" he just looked and souned sad and defeated. Guy is pretty much in an abusive relationship with the team at this point
@@BrentRushton He wants to burn his Matthews jersey now 😂
I feel like in high pressure situations, Leafs play to NOT get steamrolled by Toronto fans/media, as opposed to playing FOR their fans and the love of the game.
Shannon explaining this game in the beginning of the video is like if you made a PG version of UrinatingTree's "Congrats Leafs (2021)" Video, or Steve Dangle without the screaming.
Just a friendly reminder that Amazon Prime has been following the Toronto Maple leafs behind the scenes all season. We will all get to watch this horror show in depth
Nice thanks wonder when it drops
Btw the Ducks fan in me smiled when Perry scored that goal.
We love him so so much
yes he will always be a Duck in my book #FlyTogether
As a habs fan Corey the goat. So glad he won a cup with you guys he deserved it
the guy does gallagher's job to go up close and personnal in front of the goalie all the time and always makes something interesting every game. Always creates something positive. Big respect for Perry's playstyle especially at his age. Guy could have called it quits and rest easy during the stressful covid year but he kept grinding. Hope they offer him an extra year so the young players learn through him even more.
@@ProjectBarcodeError legit feels nice having another Gally but with silkier hands, on a budget.
Betraying Spezza is unforgivable. I'm spent. I really believed this year.
Bruh you’re a sharks fan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry bud. The signs were on the wall. I thought MTL was done after game 4. Then I remembered the Leafs regular season. They lost to Vancouver after they had been off forever. One of their best opponents was Ottawa this year.
@@snipeshow___8925 Sharks have actually won multiple playoff series this decade. Buffalo has a series win more recently than Toronto. Leafs fans have absolutely no credibility to talk any sort of smack.
I was rooting for Spezza too... as an Ottawa Fan. He had an amazing season this year... I hope he continues to play well for many years to come.
Spezza and Campbell are the only ones who aren't disgusting me right now. Even Nylander with all his goals only played hard when things were going well.
3 Changes I see the Leafs Franchise will make. * Keefe is gone, and will be replaced. * Matthews & Marner will not play on the same lineup as often as they have. * Leafs will go after a top end Defenseman. Why will Keefe get fired? Because after game 4, the Habs altered their game play and played a hard TRAP STYLE GAME. The Leafs had 3 games to alter their own game play to counter this style of play and they did not. That's on the head coach, on top of not separating Matthews & Marner after ZERO Production game after game after game. Who Agrees?
they may not fire any staff unless the big boys want them gone, I think they will trade one of the millionaires away if they can find another team that wants that person, Toronto will have to eat some of the players salary to make it happen.
Well said a couple players didnt live up to their payroll but it was a strategy issue. They could have rolled us. Go habs go
What about Keefe? No adjustments to the game plan after the Habs playing a similar way for the last three games. Where's the plan B when Montreal clogged up the neutral zone?
I’ve noticed in the past two elimination games for the Leafs that everytime they get a scoring chance they always seem to second guess themselves and completely crap the bed by doing that
you know, people talk about 'the curse'...and whether or not we believe that kind of thing...hockey players are ultra superstitious. Maybe THATS the area they need to fix because its clearly in their heads.
Bruins experienced the same thing in 2014, so did the Rangers before Kreider "solved" the issue.
Outside of Nylander scoring when the game was essentially over, just one goal by JT in the last 3 deciding games (7 and 5). Even then they were behind and it wasn't a tying goal at that. They have offence but not a heavy style game.
They are always looking for the fancy pass instead of shooting it
@@LeSyd1984 I guess the Leafs were scared of Price? Not surprising. Any good goalie instills fear into the best attackers.
Jake Evans has truly become one of my favourite Habs this season. Gives his all on every shift. 7th-round pick who did his time in college hockey, in the AHL, on the fourth line, on the taxi squad, and he’s now jumped onto the Danault line and made it better, playing some of the most important minutes among the forwards. If Seattle doesn’t take Allen, I think there’s a very good chance they take Evans.
Hes 100% getting protected
@@elliotfelx9270 I hope so, but I’m definitely not gonna make any assumptions on that front, not with a GM like Bergevin and the tough decisions he has to make in the next couple months
Jake Evans and Poehling are our future C depth~
@@switchgear100 agreed, very Gally-esque but a bit bigger and better defensively. However, with the amount of UFAs that Montreal currently has, Bergevin has a looooott of work to do if he wants to protect Evans while meeting the exposure requirements
I'd take Evans several times over Allen... Dude's not even the best available goalie! (Although, come to think of it... Team needs more than one goalie so... yeah, would probably be hard choice.) PS: I started to like Evans in 2018 when he was cut only for being too young. Did awesome work with Bouchard I really thought he'd crack the lineup last year but hey... probably better late than never for this 7th rounder steal. (Might even be a better pick than Primeau!)
I love how you started the video! Just absolutely came out swinging! Keep up the good work you’re truly awesome
When I was in elementary school in the early 1990s a kid wore a T-shirt that read: "This is your brain (Habs logo); this is your brain on drugs (Leafs logo)." Despite the Canadians not winning a Stanley Cup since then, that shirt saying still holds true even in the early 2020s.
Man Marner looked miserable (like literally at times he looked like he was crying) during this series
I don’t feel bad for a kid who’s making 10mil a year but plays like an AHLer in the playoffs.
When you hold out your hometown team and demand 10.9 million per year, you get zero sympathy.
well he does look like a baby. maybe the wrong league for him?
Yehh Marny was a huge let down. What a bum
As an habs fan, before this series I was fearing Marner and Mathews. Needles to say they were not even the shadow of themselves.
Headline: Angry and depressed Sabres fan, slightly less depressed and angry this evening.

That’s what the Leafs do. They even piss off non-fans of theirs. Everyone loves laughing at them but enough is enough at this point. It’s beyond ridiculous now.
@@philly_sports1558 I feel like they're just a brand now. Something that's marketed and if you buy into it they shower you with hopes, dreams and ambitions beyond what reality and history dictate. Push a product enough and tell enough people "its awesome" and you'll always get those that bite.

You know it's bad when the Sabres have more playoff series wins than the Leafs have since 2004.
It's even worse considering the Sabres don't make the playoffs every year like the Leafs do.
Reminder last time Leafs won a Stanley Cup Playoff Series the Buffalo Sabres had won 4 of them more recently! It's impossible for any Leafs fans to have hope for their team after this series
They'll still be saying they're gonna win the cup next year. Leafs fans more masochistic than us Sabres fans with unrealistic expectations
My son is a Sabres fan. Less painful than me being a Leafs fan - by a lot!
@@markpolamalu being a Sabres fan is painful. But knowing I got 0 expectations for them anymore its not as painful anymore. As for the Leafs they got lot of talent on their roster. They should be competing for Stanley Cups like every single season yet keep on disappointing in round 1 of the playoffs like every single year. So yes I would definitely say being a fan of the Leafs are more painful than being a Sabres fan until Toronto can prove they can win in the playoffs
@@buffalofan7169 I see Granato as a good coach and if they commit to youth it will be painful but you will have growth. Leafs window rapidly closing and core is not working at $40M.
Very educational plus I appreciate your impartial take on Habs games. Ducharme deserves kudos because he came in the middle of a slump with an insane schedule.
I had a gut feeling over the weekend the Leafs would finally figure this game 7 out but nope... Kudos to Montreal for battling back.
Habs come back from 3-1 down in the series and win game 7 by a score of 3-1. "It's like poetry, they rhyme"
with 31 in the net
And on the 31st
Illuminati confirmed lol
31 shots
Lmao George Lucas reference
You know it's bad when even Shannon sounds frustrated with the Leafs
He doesn't care that much, i dont think .seems frustrated because A.) Steve dangle called him emotionless, and B.) because he's been in a twitter fight about dubas responsibility
Personally I think Shannon is very emotional, he just just hides it behind a dead pan delivery. Which i love.
Thanks Shannon for a thoughtful and sober analysis. I always always go to your channel as often as you post videos because you are the Best!!
I’m so happy Montreal won. Sick of Toronto being hyped like they have a chance to win the cup every year.
"Spent 40 mil on 4 guys. Got the best goal scorer in the league. No way we go 17 years without winning a round. Not a chance we lose first round yet again. We're up 3-1 on Montreal. We got this." *and the lie detector determined that was a lie*
Just the other day I was saying if my Knights lost game seven we may need to rebuild despite being a good team with good players who make the playoffs every year. Now I’m convinced that’s the Leafs… they have some amazing talent but clearly what they’re doing doesn’t work in the playoffs, might be time to trade off a few huge assets and acquire new guys to change the team makeup and chemistry. Canada destroyed my bracket this year, thanks Edmonton and Toronto. 😡
@@vooswing , I didn't expect Edmonton to be swept... however, they screwed up one game where they blew their lead in the third period to lose in OT... the rest of the games were winnable... but the Jet Goalie was just better/luckier.
Can you imagine what the return would be if you dropped a few thousand on the Jets and Habs beating the Leafs and Oilers? What marvelous chaos!
Had both jets and leafs in 5. Got ripped, lol!
Love seeing Shannon riled up 😆 thanks Leafs, and thanks Shannon for the continued entertainment
I loved the emotion you showed in this video, we need more of that.
Damn saying this is the biggest choke even after the 2019 Lightning really shows how bad this really is.
I'd say this was worse tbh. At least the lightning had made it to the final four 3 of the 4 years prior and won a cup the year after. The maple leafs had been eliminated in the first rounds four years straight going into this series and they blew a 3-1 series lead to the canadiens of all teams.
That CBJ team was lowkey stacked. This is just utterly embarrassing.
@@nova7747 yep that Columbus team was stacked and were playing top 4 hockey in the league at that point
@@nova7747 that is true too. That columbus team won 11 of 14 heading into the postseason. The canadiens were rather pedestrian this season. Honestly give that columbus team a few years and they'd probably win a cup.
I completely agree the scary thing if your a leafs fan is Tampa could feel confident keeping it all together due to pass success but what is this Leafs team going to do moving forward? Tons of questions
I didn't hear a single "Go, Leafs, Go" chant the entire game from the first crowd in over a year Every single player barring Spezza, Nylander (maybe), and Campbell should be absolutely embarrassed by that "performance" out on the ice. No heart. No effort. Marner and Matthews were almost invisible this entire series, the notable exception being when Marner held onto the puck way too long. Big changes need to be made in the off season. There is no excuse. Don't blame it on injuries, refs, or Price "stealing the series". There was simply no fight in the Leafs, and they deserve every bit of criticism they get and have gotten. Way to win it for JT, boys. That was a pathetic display
Well the crowd was made up of hospital staff and it looked mostly like middle aged women, so it kinda makes sense they'd rather be on Tik Tok.
The problem is that they JUST GOT OUT OF A SCORCHED EARTH REBUILD What do they do? Do they trade everyone and never make the playoffs for the next 7 seasons just in hopes or do they lose every SINGLE round 1?
The crowd was only 550 people and they were healthcare workers chosen from a lottery, not paying fans. i bet half of them didn’t even watch a Leafs game this year
If Matthews was invisible you are blind, sorry but just because he didn’t score doesn’t mean he sucked. Unlike Marner who put on the saddest, most pathetic excuse of a performance SEVEN GAMES IN A ROW IVE EVER SEEN.
@@Michael-pg7rv none of them probably had time to
I really like the Perry - Staal - Armia line as our 4th line they have been playing great hockey
32K in an hour? Everyone must have been refreshing their stream ever since this game ended waiting for this video.
This comes down to a book written many years ago. "A Tale of two cities " or ( The Hab's and the hab not's)
By the way a Francophone in the sixties when introducing the production of "A Tale of Two Cities," as an aside humorously commented: "No it's not about a hockey game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs!"
I still cannot believe they dropped a first round pick on Foligno, this is hilarious now
They’ve truly lost so much of their future...
No they did not lol!! (I believe you just lol)
Oh ya that guy. What happened to that guy anyway? 😂😂
@Samuel Marchand , Foligno was injured... he came back and wasn't up to his normal self in the last two games... sometimes, it's better to let the injured player sit.
On the 63rd game of year in 2020: the Leafs lose to a 42 year old Zamboni Driver that works for them... On the 63rd game of the season in 2021: the Leafs lose in Game 7 to the mediocre at best Montreal Canadiens after having a 3-1 lead in the series. Wow, just wow
Shannon, you legend! 194k subscribers now, I could have sworn it was 192k just a week ago. Best Hockey channel out there and one of the hardest working content producers. You deserve everything you get. Toronto Maple Leafs’ young guns could learn from your hustle and grind!
leafsnet told me that toronto has best forward line.. That piece didn't age well. They are pretty much no show when games matter
the most effective Leafs line in the past 5 years has not been seen since they dumpted Babcock: Tavares, Marner, Hyman. Broken up with Hyman's injury but never to return.
The memes live on! Congrats Habs fans! I couldn't be happier for you folks!
Loved watching this, the passion!
This has got to be absolutely soul crushing. I am genuinely sorry for any leafs fans out there.
This is a tough one to swallow as a leafs fan, outsiders can throw all the insults they want but the inner pain is what rings loudest
Yup a true fan. No mud singing here. I am on oiler fan so I feel your pain.
Not mad just disappointed lol 😆
Sorry. Man. Feel your pain. The fans just got hosed in this series. You deserve a better outcome as a true fan
leafs underestimated the Habs so hard. It was a well deserved thrashing. Better luck next year
"I'm sure that in 'expected goals for' the Leafs won this series in 4 games," that's the kind of subtle everyday brilliance we get from THG. I guess all those pre-written articles about Matthews and Marner taking over the entire NHL playoffs in Round 2 can be saved for next year.
And be wrong again, and again, and again...
Exactly. These dummies making all the noise about how great Toronto is all live in Lala Land. They don't live in reality, like so many people do these days. They want things to be predictable, follow the rules. I say today these dumb dumbs start calling for changes to how the game is called in the playoffs so they can see their skilled players in the later rounds. They can't stand a game being won by hard work. They want to watch figure skating, not hockey.
“Expected goals” is one of the dumbest made up stats I’ve ever heard of. Who is the one person who watches each game and decides what is and is not an expected goal?
@@patrickbooth5091 I agree! It’s got to be some clown from Toronto. It’s by far the most ridiculous stat in hockey
@@patrickbooth5091 Late reply, but I wanted the opportunity to also say how freaking dumb and made up those stats are. Not all advanced type stats are 100% garbage like "expected goals", although some others are ridiculous as well. It's like someone who is so geek about something that he will manufacture more of it. We also need to consider the fact that hockey is one of the less "stats heavy" team sport out there. It is VERY chaotic and unpredictable, which for me makes it the best! But others cannot accept that and make up a bunch of stupid stat categories. Never taking advanced stats into consideration isn't smart, but making it your religion is even dumber (or "Dumba" ;).
Maple Leafs have never won a cup with an American born regular in the line-up. Levinski was Canadian.
@10:05, that Titanic joke with the "Moron" at the end was too funny! The "on-the-spot" comedy is one of many reasons why Shannon rules
I’m a big leafs fan and I don’t even find myself upset tonight. I’m just laughing
Definition of insanity
@@leafs-fan8764 honestly maybe. I think something just snapped
sometimes you just gotta laugh at how ridiculous things are
Yep was a lifer here. Been down this road too many times. Doesn't even affect me now
Cracked
Which fanbase is more delusional about their playoff chances Edmonton or Toronto? The answer: Yes
I mean if your gonna look at extremes then sure
I was surprised about Edmonton. The Leafs, not so much
I’m a Leafs fan that figured we’d win a round or two but that’s it
Arrogant leafs losing makes everyone else in the world happy
Those don't exist.
I've never heard such anger, frustration, and rage from Shannon. Like this is the most riled up I've seen him in half a decade
Man, what a great first round. My Avs swept, Oilers got swept, and Leafs blew a 3-1 lead. If Vegas had lost that game 7 then it truly would have been perfect.
Ryan Graves is also sad VGK won game 7... :(
This video along with the last LFR from Steve Dangle are what have kept me refreshing KZhead for the last hour
The Leafs finally broke him. It finally (sadly) happened. One of the Leafs fans I DO feel bad for
Lol same here
@@williampilling6576 agreed 100%
No LFR today. Steve is off for the rest of the night to drink. LFR tomorrow.
Yes.
Always quality, Shannon. Thank you for being the best hockey youtuber.
I always denied when people said the leafs weren't built to win, until now.
Guys like Matthews and Marner are no match against the sheer talent of Joel Armia
Hahaha right now this statement is so true!! Yesssir
This makes you wonder why guys like danault aren’t payed 10 mil
@@stephentyler4352 Its so bad
Come playoff time, guys like armia become a helluva lot more valuable than in the regular season. Leafs GM might wanna take some notes.
@@ThankYouScienc3 Skill wins regular seasons, Heart wins the playoffs. People said the Leafs aren’t build for the playoffs, and there might be some truth to that.
