He reminds me of Bobby McMann out there.
CONGRATS ON TEAMING UP WITH THE WHL! Very exciting! OHL, now WHL, WHO'S NEXT?! LET'S GOOOOOOO!
Meh
We got a Borya Valis video and a John Cena Heel Turn in the same day….Uhh Based.
The SDPN is a small broadcasting station…I like how we're watching a "Career Mode" in real time…
Started out as a guy in his room making videos…upgraded to a podcast….graduated to podcast broadcasting channel…then that channel got credentials…those credentials then allowed them to the OHL highlights which has now been upgraded to the WHL
Next the QMJHL?
I see this growing until they're allowed to show the AHL?
If that's the case then maybe rights to European leagues with the ultimate goal of the NHL?
That would be amazing…and i can say I was there since he was a lonely weirdo making Leafs videos in his room at his parent's house
It truly is a wonderful time to be alive
Go to the net
Wow! Congrats on the WHL deal. And Congrats to Borya Valis. Look forward to watching the Senators walk him like a dog when he makes the NHL.
That was very cool Steve.
Nice video… I appreciated the highlights. Will he be assigned to the Marlies this season, or will he stay on his WHL team?
The highlights were amazing as a Portland Winterhawks fan
Turtle 🐢 Power!
Another American pick…..can we not draft or sign Canadian players?
Cowabunga lol
Those sure are some zany sweaters up in Prince George.
@4:09 – That's the most hideious sweater I've seen on a hockey team.
Borya Valis? That's rude, I'm not boring and I don't even know what a Valis is
why ya gotta do Kamloops dirty like that?? haha there's 20+ other teams you could have shown goals against 😉 although, there's a lot of similarity between us and the leafs, so those goals are good training for when Valis gets moved somewhere else for no reason
AMAZING DEADLINE ACQUISITION
Great having video clips! Thanks for the intro to Borya!
Hope he makes it! I met him when he was 17-18 years old and was just an awesome guy
The kid looks good, 6ft + 20 years young, close to 200lbs. Should easily crack the NHL
Does the leafs making a prospect signing make you think there getting rid of a prospect in a trade perchance
Great collab
Man, the Cougars wear some wild stuff on the ice. Lol
is no one going to talk about the TMNT jerseys
WHL HIGHLIGHTS LETS GOO, Road to more west coverage, Excited to see you guys react to the WHL
Would be nice to cheer for a Borje again!
Congratulations on the WHL agreement!! That's awesome guys!
Very interesting player. I don't think he will be very long with the marlies
If he becomes a find, the fans and media should call him "Borealis"
HOLYYYYYY i've been waiting for this
AWESOME!!!!! One question…..who t f is Valis?
omg the WELL (well)
tbh, this is such a neat vid, congrats on the WHL agreement! really makes me excited about a player and I've never gotten to see him before. fun stuff!
OK highlights rock.
Love that we nabbed a potential prospect
GO TO THE NET!××
Highlights is such a welcomed addition
Looks and sounds great! So… why wasn't he drafted? And why didn't other teams try to sign him?
This will be brads biggest move of the deadline
Kid looks Good, reminds me of a Lorentz style..?? 👍👏👏
Looks like he could be like McMann.
Im genuinely so excited for this! Steve and the WHL! Being from western canada, im a fan of 2 WHL teams so this is so awesome. Maybe my dream of the SDP coming to a WHL game and doing a live show will come true!
Nice 👍 And his name is the Canadian pronunciation of Börje (like Salming) 😁 Good mojo
How many jerseys does that team have? It looks like he was on a different team in every highlight.
The Leafs' system is good, if he has it in him, they'll find it
Did Leafs sign Zach Hyman at home?
