  1. Will never like the format we have in the NHL. It should never have been changed from first seed vs eighth seed. The two best teams in the league should never play each other in the first round lol

  2. we don't have time for eye jabs-it's a dads.business.trip. great bit and attempted icq notifiation haha

  3. Stolarz really just had a bad March and with the injury Woll just got the games. Woll is the 'hot hand' when compared to Stolarz currently but both are in direct competition for that Game 1 spot. It's great stuff for a Division race because you can let either rest when needed even for minor maintenance and just give them the next game while the other guy place like an Ace. Berube after two days off might just flip a coin.

  4. you hit the nail on the head,"Go to the net" even Mathews did it. …..need to do that with playoffs coming…..oh and when Domi
    digs out the puck and puts it in front of the net, "SOME ONE GO TO THE NET PLEASE!"

  5. The biggest differences between previous Leaf teams and this year's team:

    1 solid goaltending
    2 more gritty players, which ⬆️ team toughness
    3 solid top 4 on d
    4 a coach who has the ability to maximize each players' strengths

    Matthews has to step his game though

  6. Awesome!!! 2nd time one of my questions made it into LFR

    I appreciate the reply though personally I still think a tandem is the better choice because these guys are injury prone

    We basically have to ask them to do one of two things

    1) be one of the first tandems to make a deep run in the playoffs

    2) play 16-28 games straight without injury for the first time ever

    I could see them pulling off ask 1, but ask 2?

    We could end up in a situation where both play a stretch of 12, get hurt and then we’re relying on Murray or Hildeby to win the final games

    Whenever toronto rolls one goalie they always break the guy be it physically or mentally I’d say if there was ever a time to roll the dice on a tandem it’s now

    Frankly it might even be what they want

  7. I can't believe Steve left out the fun fact that Knies joined some interesting company with his 25th goal of the season. Tom Wilson and Brady Tkachuk, only other players in the NHL this year to have 25 goals and 150 hits. It's nice to have that type of player on our roster

  8. Hey, first time commenter, long time viewer and fan. Way back just before Covid-19, you were scheduled for a book signing in Windsor, Ontario. Well, you know what happened. Do you have any plans on coming to the Windsor area. Just so you know, former Maple Leaf executive Richard Peddie, has the River Bookshop, in Amherstburg, a nice historic town at the mouth of Lake Erie and Detroit River.

  9. Hey i love the bruins the leafs are my second team i love this guy watch him like binge watch if you like hockey

  10. For the goalies. At the trade deadline, I would have had a meeting with them if I was the coach and said. OK, guys, your numbers are now zero. Whoever does the best between now and come playoffs is the started.

  11. I hate the amount of icing calls this season! Make icing only from your own zone! Eliminate red line icing rule. We took out the two line pass to speed the game up. Do the same for icing! 👍

  12. Last week they were the worst team in history. This week they are the greatest team in history. Gotta love Leaf fans!

  13. But how many games did Stolarz lose 1-0 or 2-1 where they were outshot more than double? There was a few games they should have won with Stolarz in net.
    How about these Nick names for our goalies, Stolly the goalie and Woally the goalie??

  14. I'm a Tampa fan…. with that said…. I LOVE WATCHING YOUR CONTENT!! You're super funny and the Leafs are looking good right now, kinda scary to think we'll have to face them 😬😒
    That Avs game though, the play should've been blown down when Southerland dove on it 🤯🤨 but– they looked great against a heavy team…. again scary for Tampa!!

  15. Also– I don't think Knies gets the attention he deserves bc the core four gets all of it. Mcman– also another underrated player.. he's fabulous.

  16. 15:23 I know I'm late to the comments, but people keep saying "oh a goalie tandem never works in the playoffs!"

    When have we seen that actually tried in the playoffs? I've seen people point to the Bruins the past 2 years but that was only a tandem in the regular season: in 2023, Ullmark played 6 of 7 games against Florida, with Swayman playing all of Game 7 and 3 minutes in Game 4. In 2024, they reversed this, with Swayman playing 6 of 7 against Toronto and all 6 against Florida, while Ullmark got 1 game against the Leafs, and less than a full period in round 2.

    So please, Steve, tell me when a team has Actually Tried a playoff tandem since the 2013 Lockout.

  17. After New York got that tie goal near the end of the 1st, I was like "Please, Leafs! PLEASE get another goal before the end of the period. You've done it before, I know you can do it." AND THEY DID. I was hollering "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!"

  18. Ot wins should be with 2 points, regulation win should be worth 3. Not the NHL loves having 25 teams above 500, it's good for morale
