After two years in the mud, the Leafs add a new coach Pat Quinn and new goalie Curtis Joseph in hopes of forcing themselves out of their rebuild before the end of Mats Sundin’s prime.
Special thanks to all hockey archivists here on YouTube but especially @greendayrock for archiving of tons of Leafs highlights from this era.

"The next door is revealed to be a trap by the Devils. It happens to a lot of teams, shut up and deal with it."
0:20 “This is… Vancouver’s most hated”
Suggestion: If you do actually decide to make that centered around Messier and Keenan, you could use the intro from this video (before the off-ramp), and plug it into that one. I think it would have a nice touch.
been waiting for this:) 98-99 is the year i became a Leaf fan. thanks for this series dude
He’s lucic’s uncle 😂
Holy shit. This is the season I joined! THANK YOU!!! <3
My favorite Leafs are CuJo, Darcy, Mats, Alex Mogilny, Kaberle and McCabe… They were awesome to watch…
Dwayne Roloson was 29 not 23 during this series.
I love these types of videos. Great job!
Maybe a vid on the pronger-niedermayer ducks or the ducks of the 2010s who kept underachieving in the playoffs
KEVIN HATCHER MENTION RAAAAAH
Holy hell I had no idea that’s how the leafs got tucker!
1:28:41 Idk what I expecting but it was Jack Edwards being excited about a Leafs goal of all things
1:37:30 Not knowing the history of that, i was in complete shock when that popped up. Completely absurd.
Just a side-note: how insane is it that a team would open their new rink part-way through a season?
God, as much as I love reminiscing about the early era of my hockey memory, remembering how many dipshts were around to talk about "good old Canadian boys" like the incredibly racist/xenophobic Don Cherry aren't memories anybody should miss. He's not missed, whatsoever.
YEAH BABY THIS IS A CERTIFIED WATCH IN 3 PARTS WHILE EATING OVER THE NEXT 2 DAYS CLASSIC
In defense of Yashin, Sens ownership was infamously cheap and he was getting screwed. Just because contracts are gauranteed, doesn't mean players were getting a fair deal. That was literally why the players forced them to shift free agency from 32 to "just" 27.
“1987 Norris candidate James Patrick”
@37:01 hahaa the bob Cole reference had me crying
53:12 Ah, yeah… foot in the crease… ironic considering- by WHO?!?
58:44 Notorious Ben Oakley video alum Dwayne Roloson, put some respect on his name
notes on pronunciation, Jonas Hoglund was pronounced more like Benoit Hogue, Hogue-land. And Karl Dykhuis pronounced not like Dan Hamhuis, but like Dyke-House (where I live.)
What a father's day gift for my dad, long time Toronto fan due to Salming and Sundin.
Rob Zettler, who is currently an assistant coach with the Tampa Bay Lightning, and that’s how Freddy Modin came to Tampa, Florida. Also, Toronto trading with Tampa? This was before the two teams became part of the current Atlantic Division. Also Vinnie Prospal and Dwayne Roloson mentioned.
I feel like you wrote that intro specifically to trigger scarred Canucks fans, which, as a Kraken fan I get a big kick out of 👌
The next episode is the infamous domi hit against new Jersey
16 should be retired for Bohonos and not Marner.
