Steve dangle seeing yet another leafs loss

Average Steve Dangle May

#

All you need is Push-Ups, Sit-Ups, and Plenty of Juice to win a cup

robust grotto
#

Steve Dangle reaction ( Leafs lose to the Coyotes )

dim kettle
#

They did do that a lot this season.

celest zephyr
#

Leafs are the Steelers of hockey

#

Minus the whole Big Ben

dim kettle
#

Without the hardware the last 20 years

#

Dangle is a national tressure

celest zephyr
#

His Tavares ikea skit was amazing

dim kettle
celest zephyr
#

Trav totally didn’t get his job because he knows one of the owners of the leafs

#

The true question is what dirt shanahan has to still have a job

dim kettle
#

He does a lot of good. But I'll just leave this reminder about his trades with Dougie Hamilton and Matthew Tkachuk and leave it at that.

celest zephyr
#

Nah i just don’t see him being the guy that puts them over the top

#

Especially with his ufa moves

#

Glad they got their guy before the draft though

#

Since its better to have a new regime beforehand

dim kettle
#

I know from experience. I hope you love the word "mediocrity"

celest zephyr
#

Though with shanahan there doesn’t really matter

#

I already ‘love it’

#

I’m used to it

#

It’s not going to work out and within five years they’ll find some other guy

dim kettle
#

Also, he goes through so many coaches.

celest zephyr
#

Hey so its the same thing

#

Another coaching carousel

#

Trust the shanaplan

#

For one second round appearance

#

Can someone boot his ass out already?

#

Tbh kinda want to just not watch the leafs until this man is sent to russia

dim kettle
#

You'll watch the Leafs because Steve Dangle yells "ARE YOU IN?" every year.

#

So anyways, I like I said earlier, I'd kindly take Nylander and Marner for Lucic and Ritchie.

#

Gotta have that North American grit in Treliving Land.

@weak gull

celest zephyr
#

You’ll get gustavasson and you’ll like it

#

In all seriousness the leafs are already trying to do that

#

So really again nothing new

#

Just a nothing burger of a move the more i learn about it

#

He’s not going to make them noticeably worse, but he won’t make them a contender

hollow wind
#

Damn now I feel bad for badmouthing him so much grief

weak gull

also wow, shannon sharpe leaving fs1

Pretty clear he enjoys doing his podcast more than undisputed anyway

This finals is adam silver's 9/11 for sure

Already game 1 tonight ??????

NHL isn’t starting until Saturday

celest zephyr
#

They are mentally weak but they have a great bench

#

Really? Idk i think a b2b mvp and miami are pretty good

#

Yessir

#

Worst case would be something like Orlando and Minnesota

#

Silver would be fuming

calm mulch
#

When is the moral victories finals happening of Celtics vs Lakers in Cancún ?

celest zephyr
#

@robust grotto you ready for sutter to be your next head coach?

#

Perfect hire

#

He’s experienced at failure

#

And the rangers are going to refuse to get someone new

#

Even though they probably should because it beats guys like gallant

robust grotto
#

And the did go new once but the owner was scarred by the rebuild after only a year so then he signed a free agent winger to a league record deal and also traded for a defensive defenseman and gave him 8 mil for 8 years because that’s what rebuilding teams do

#

Whatever, im excited for offseason news

celest zephyr
#

Hahahahahah

#

Yeah same

#

Sheesh Toronto lost 467 man games due to injury this season

#

Yet they still made the playoffs

#

This team is cursed to make the playoffs despite half of the damn team being on ir

#

Does one year even count lmao

#

Like it ain’t really a rebuild if you suck for one year then panic

#

COME TO OUR GAMESSSSS! IF YOU BRING 10 OR MORE PEOPLE, YOU CAN SAVE MONEY!!! WE NEED PEOPLE TO FILL OUR SEATS

robust grotto
#

Man that’s a lot of games, NYR have been super fucking fortunate with that

#

Dude it’s nyc people will also go to games

celest zephyr
#

I know it was a canes man joke

#

But yeah they will go even to see a trash can on wheels

#

Trevling about to trade nylander Matt Murray and every draft pick he can find in the leafs cupboard for karlsson

dim kettle
#

Not if Calgary tries trading for Karlsson first.

We'll see how many cups the Pens have by 2032 now.

Cause he’s the most non “hockey guy” in hockey

#

NHL fired Head Coaches be like:

rustic mountain
#

Tbh I just hate how the Leafs did Dubas

#

But oh well

dim kettle
#

They threw him under the bus.

rustic mountain
#

I said I was mad at the Leafs and this definitely one of the reasons

dim kettle
#

I get Kyle didn't get the job done and assumed the cap would expand when signing JT. But there was many, many problems other than him

rustic mountain
#

Feels shitty in maple leaf land

dim kettle
#

Clearly was a power struggle there. And Brendan Shanahan's time there is ticking down at the moment.

rustic mountain
#

Just a fucking shame dude

#

You were right about Canadian teams not getting with the times

dim kettle
#

Considering I'm a fan of a team there, I know this full well.

rustic mountain
#

Just makes me sad. I hope Dubas does well in Pittsburgh

dim kettle
#

BTW, enjoy the walking mediocrity known as Brad Treliving

rustic mountain
#

Yeah. Another reason I am angry at the Leafs

#

Needless to say I might be watching way more Oilers games next year

dim kettle
#

I mean I'd chose McDavid and Leon than a Leafs game anyday.

#

Although, Oilers. ew

rustic mountain
#

I'll be in Edmonton next week, I'll take lotsa pics of the store and arena just for you ShadowLETSBUGGINGGO

dim kettle
#

NHL stores always look so nice in perso- I mean, goddamnit. smh

Lmao

#

My brother got to check out Vegas's football stadium when he was there

#

Imma see if we can take a stadium tou

Meet Tom Brady

Sadly this was before the Brady Ownership era

Just purely McDaniels lmao

Damn that

A hella cool emote

#

I need one with the Pat Patriot logo

#

Speaking of that

dim kettle
#

You need a sad Blue Jay one.

rustic mountain
#

OTA over hype has begun

#

Yeah I am already a sad Blue Jay

dim kettle
#

You see, this is part of the year I don't care about football stuff till pre season.

#

Not that there's a lot to care about in Tampa Bay this year

rustic mountain
#

Me either. Pats beat writers have been overhyping BOB calling plays and Tyquan Thornton has more muscle mass I guess

dim kettle
#

I talk and know a lot of about football, but the sport isn't even my second favorite. I can only tolerate so much football compared to hockey and baseball.

robust grotto
#

I’m excited for the offseason

#

Selfishly hoping this final is a quick one lol

rustic mountain
#

Hockey is shooting up the boards for me man. I find myself more interested in like all of it

#

I don't find myself hating full teams either like I do with football. Just fucking Matthew Tkachuk but even then I feel that softening. I just like the sport and am growing to love it more

robust grotto
#

Tkachuk is so much more enjoyable than Marchand or Lucic ever were

#

Ofc I understand why you’d hate him but yeah; he’s such a talent

#

Right now there aren’t too many unlikable players or teams for me either

rustic mountain
#

I admit I am amazed by him at times

dim kettle
robust grotto
#

Ofc I’ll always hate the Devils

rustic mountain
#

Idk. I find myself turning into like the Hockey Guy on youtube

robust grotto
rustic mountain
#

Just. Liking all of it

robust grotto
#

Hockey guy is really nice

dim kettle
robust grotto
#

I wish he could be a little harsher on gms or teams but I understand not wanting to pick on fan bases

robust grotto
#

It’s amazing what that tournament can do for guys. Get away from shit a NHL environment and play loose hockey again

dim kettle
#

Yeah, I listened to his interview on Flames talk a day or 2 ago. Still thinking about where he's going next.

#

BTW he kept the trophy

robust grotto
#

He’s coming east

#

East is super appealing to older players bc of the travel

dim kettle
#

NO! JBB. DON'T YOU DARE!

robust grotto
#

Anytime a western conference player comes to the rangers it’s always like “it’s not always long plane rides but we take trains and buses here?? And I’m home the same night after most road games?? This is sweet”

dim kettle
#

Oh Leafs. I heard Lucic is on the open market.

#

Gotta have that grit.

rustic mountain
#

I really don't want Lucic man

#

.-.

dim kettle
#

You have Treliving as GM. You're gonna need that North American grit!

rustic mountain
#

We are gonna get bounced in the first round all over again man

#

Only this time Lucic is gonna fight 6 dudes and spit on their coach

dim ledge
celest zephyr
#

Opposite for me

#

Football has shot up the ranks

#

Used to be more of a basketball and hockey fan

#

But now football is on par if not higher

#

Though granted as a leafs fan hockey can’t be number 1 lol

rustic mountain
#

Football is just something that has been with me since I was like 4

dim ledge
rustic mountain
#

And I feel like since I only knew that and baseball really, some basketball, I never had the chance of getting into hockey really?

#

The niche but not niche sport at our school was soccer

#

Closest hockey team was 5 or more hours away and no one gave a shit

dim kettle
#

I would watch more basketball if hockey wasn't also on at the same time most nights. Always been like that. It's why I don't like talking into depth with the NBA season. Just means little to me to talk about.

celest zephyr
#

I agree honestly

#

It’s hard to keep both at a high priority

#

With basketball going up for me this season watching the warriors hockey had to drop

#

Whereas nfl is just once a week

#

So i can just focus on watching that one maybe two games with like tnf/mnf and then do the rest

dim kettle
#

I've been a Magic for a good 15 years now. But a reminder that basketball was the last sport I got into as a kid and even back then I considered myself a Dwight fan than a Magic fan for awhile.

celest zephyr
#

Through sb nation it was kinda all three to some degree

#

Never really got into baseball ever

dim kettle
#

I have a baseball family, so it was easy to get into for me.

rustic mountain
#

Baseball was the sport I started with playing wise

#

Same

#

I apparently had two great great uncles who played for the giants for like a year back in the 40s?

#

Something like that

#

They werent blood so no clue

dim kettle
#

Often you like the sports your parents or uncles, etc are in to.

celest zephyr
#

No one is really that into sports at my house

dim kettle
#

I can tell you my Dad is one of the biggest Devil fans you'd meet. It's how I got my brilliant Rangers jokes from

celest zephyr

Rangers imbued with the power of losing

#

How tragic

rustic mountain

Devils fans remind of that Patrick Warburton thing

I'm just supporting the team

I’m about to go to jersey to beat people up

They call subs sandwiches hoagies here and I hate saying it.

robust grotto

Pork roll is more common across the world I believe

celest zephyr
#

Okay now i’m really going to show up when i have money

robust grotto

Taylor ham is just a north jersey thing

Lame

Taylor Ham and a Jersey bagel are gems.

Nah I’ve never seen of that

#

Never liked bagels anyways

I’ve seen ham, cured pork and that’s about it

robust grotto
#

It’s not a sausage though lmao and it’s not a traditional slice of ham

celest zephyr
#

Yeah it looks like you grabbed a pig and put a grinder next to it

dim kettle
#

So tasty though

celest zephyr
#

I’d rather have normal ham or bacon

robust grotto
#

It’s worth a try dude lmao it’s not that crazy or anything

celest zephyr
#

Yeah yeah and then they won’t win here yawn

#

Haven’t even seen it sold here man

robust grotto
#

I don’t really go for Taylor ham often though, if I’m honest. Once in a blue moon

dim kettle
#

It probably isn't that good for you having it every day.

robust grotto
#

You absolutely cannot have that every day lmfao

dim kettle
#

Indeed

#

Although, my brother had a phase with that shit.

celest zephyr
#

Considering there are some people who have McDonald’s every day

#

Idk i guess someone might try lol

short flame
# celest zephyr Never liked bagels anyways

Come try some at Montreal. I hated bagged bagels and still do but those from a special place in Montreal have some excellent bagels. I still have to add a lot of cream cheese and prosciutto otherwise I won’t be able to eat them

celest zephyr
#

Yeah bagged bagels ain’t it

celest zephyr
#

Or from like generic fast-food chains

robust grotto

I go to san viator a bagel and breakfast palace

So it also makes salty sports fans?

Yep. Florida bread sucks for a reason.

celest zephyr

Good to know

It’s not a palace

celest zephyr

Going to go to Montreal for f1 soon actually

robust grotto
#

A lot of restaurant owners with origins here that move to Cali or something actually get water shipped in from here

dim kettle
#

Even the water near Philly where I'm at doesn't compare to North Jersey.

celest zephyr

So maybe I’ll have to find some recommendations for food somewhere

robust grotto

I’ve had many drunken poutine adventures in Montreal. Good times

Welcome to Canada. Where the value of the Canadian dollar lowers as much as Leaf fans expectations a season.

celest zephyr
#

That’s not even true

#

Leafs fan expections rise every year

#

At the start of a season

#

They collapse after the playoffs and increase back in October

dim kettle
#

Being a Leaf fan really is the definition of insanity, isn't it?

celest zephyr

Just wait the leafs fans will flock back to get hurt again

#

Ain’t that most sports fans?

Some speak louder than others.

Some scream louder

I like Samsonov a lot. I think Woll has a good career coming too

Ah well he’ll go to Arizona

Bandwagon people are always gonna exist. I can't blame NBA fans for doing it. I mean, being a Magic fan post Dwight hasn't been a fun one to sit through.

celest zephyr

Only have bandwagoners? As if people didn’t sit through the baron davis days

Know that i'm a bandwagon fan that joined the Mavs in 2011 and has been miserable since

i'm still a mavs fan

He likes the dbacks

He isnt one of the 4 Yotes fans tho

Being bandwagon golden state warriors fan > cheering for a team that has a gigantic market

and even lower than that is cheering for the Celtics

He talks to me about Varsho a good bit

Nah i hate the Celtics and their fans but it isn’t some low thing to like em

calm mulch

i'm a committed hater

I cant be a committed hater if they aren’t there

Is there scaring Boston fans?

celest zephyr

Nope

They seem to be the frat boy types

So that i have more people i don’t have to like

i find it funny that "all" athletes at the end of their career end up loving and passionately playing golf

is it really that good

No

celest zephyr

It’s chill

or are they trying to keep being competitive somehow

celest zephyr

But yeah its also kinda a rich man thing

rustic mountain
#

But it's easy to drink and chill

#

And flex money

celest zephyr
#

Probably the latter tbh

Like they are fs competitive guys

#

And a completely different sport levels the playing field

calm mulch

#

They say golf is calming. When in reality it could be the most stressful thing to play.

calm mulch
#

i think they are just satiating their competitive nature

celest zephyr
#

No its pain

calm mulch
#

when they can no longer play

celest zephyr
#

Especially cuz the amount of environmental factors

#

They could but why bother getting hurt playing hockey or basketball lmao

rustic mountain
#

I mean golf would be the least physically taxing sport you could play

calm mulch
#

Brady is one sweating tryhard in golfing

#

and Chris paul is damn sweat in bowling

celest zephyr
#

He’s a try hard in everything

#

Like Jordan

dim kettle
#

The physical injuries aren't even the worst thing in basketball long term. It's all that running back and forth that slowly hurts the heart.

calm mulch
#

idk why but i do really think they start playing these to keep the competitive nature in check

#

they are too passionate about it

#

same with poker and bouré

celest zephyr
#

Not just the heart but a lot of tendons and stuff like that

#

Lots of old guys complain about even walking after finishing their careers

calm mulch
#

Basketball in recent years is the perfect speedrun how to tear all your ligaments and nerves

celest zephyr

Yeah

calm mulch
#

too dynamic

#

too many jerking motions

Also a lot of stopping quickly

both teams are VERY fundamental

At least the first couple games

Also, i love that ratings complainers are malding at these "small market" teams making the finals

Adam Silver is crying blood right now

I won the moment the Heat advanced to the finals

Never a bad thing for a small market team to make it

Baseball had the Royals for a couple years and it made it more fun

Well

the media hates it

and i see so many no brainers saying they hate it cuz no Lakers vs Celtics every damn year

#

no team is ever allowed to win for the first time

I mean there were some fun Lakers Celtics series, but at the same time most of those are super old

I'd rather as a more casual fan get something new

Though I didnt want Butler in the finals but oh well

Hating on small markets is simply stupid

there is no logic behind it

The better team wins

As a fan, using the smaller market makes it boring argument is stupid I agree

Even I admit that the Panthers in hockey are fun af to watch

idk if it is because my background is soccer

Why do you think the Cowboys get talked about like they've won a super bowl recently every year when it has been nearly 30 years

#

Btw as a sports fan i can only imagine the feeling of playing and being crucial part of a team that did a cinderalla run as a underdog to win it all

i would cry so much lol

for me it probably would be the best feeling in the world

Saw that earlier. Really there was never any doubt he played through an injury in order to avoid missing out on that trade. Not that I would want to sign him but actually put me down as someone who wouldn’t be surprised if he pulls out a really clutch postseason or surprisingly good numbers in about 16 months time

The guy really couldn’t move lol but he wasn’t this completely ineffective player. His brain would compensate for the speed issue at times, it’ll be interesting to see his future
