8 year deals don't go away until September
One hell of a Tim Allen impression by Adam Wylde 1:32:09
to be fair, the nhl just isnt all that popular in europe. We have the exact same piece meal blackout crap for football. The Bundesliga gets split up between like 6 channels in germany
Wonder if the Latvia coach would like an NHL job…
Vegas is below the sens in the standings
10:07 Props to that reporter, I think that was actually a great question 😊
Steve, i respect your hockey knowledge alot,but you are so wrong about corey Perry – he fought 4 or 5 or 6 times with the oilers last season too – he can defintely fight and does so….
Impossible challenge: Steve not interrupting the other 2 with talking over them or a random noise
Ristolainen was awesome in the Olympics. If you could sign Team Finland Ristolainen, you should.
CANADIAN IS A SLUR BTW
I have Altitude + to watch the Avs… if it's on TNT… I just either don't watch or… find…. *another* way to watch it. Generally though I just don't watch and listen to the radio instead.
Jesse i agree Hagel should have gotten more but please look at what really got Hagel pissed. Dahlin smacked him in the nuts with his stick. So suspend one toy have to suspend both
For a summer episode can we get Alexandra Posadzki, author of Rogers vs Rogers in for an interview? Given how much they talk about the book, it seems only fair.
The credit for the Sabres' turnaround is deserved by the new GM, Jarmo Kekäläinen. I believe Jarmo, behind closed doors, reamed these kids a new one. He demanded accountability. He demanded that they stop acting like selfish kids and become team players. And Jarmo further improved the team by bringing in adults, veteran players who know what it takes to win in the playoffs. AND they fight. Sabres are no longer soft.
Dahlin captain and face of the franchise!
in 75 the Fliers and Sabres played in the cup finals. Buffalo was the better team by far but the Philly Bullies man handled them in the end.
Hagel was suspended for a game after the Barkov hit, then he was taken out all together by Ekblad when they both came back from suspensions.
I want the pick this year. a player in the top 5 will be on the team by the time the 202 draft comes around & will be contributing to the team NOT picking in the top 5 again. getting a player now also means they are on the team sooner & maximizes your time with matthews & Nylander. a player drafted in 2028 might not make the team until 2030.
matthews also is signed until the '28 off season. '29 / '30 are the picks they shouldn't be trading
I hope the leafs win the Stanley cup in the next 5 years so Steve can see it
what do you think about Auston Matthews traded to Kings?
last week Nikita Filatov ex nhl player and friend of Panarin told on youtube show he spoke with Panarin and there are talkings in Kings organization about Matthews in LA in summer
Steve talking about 2023 Dubas like the gear wars
Poor Fatvei Michkov
Bad take by Jesse. Who’s to say if they keep their pick this year next years pick isn’t in the 20s
1:40:50 I am a Senators fan who lives in Toronto. I was visiting family in the Niagara region over Christmas when the Sabres and Sens played. According to SportsNet I was inside Sabres territory meaning my SportsNet Plus Plus Plus ($329) package was region locked. My TSN subscription said I was outside of Senators territory. That month I was paying for every service applicable to NHL hockey in Canada and was unable to watch the game. Give me ONE service no blackouts. You used to be able to pick your preferred broadcast on NHL Live and have no ads. It was even free for a time with my rogers cell phone plan. Now I'm forced into one broadcast, watch all the ads and it costs me 3x as much – all at a stunning 1080p.
Did you know the Seattle Seahawks have won a game more recently than the Leafs?
Adams film takes made me chuckle
Jesses draft pick take was the most sane take Ive heard re the Bruins/Flyers/Leafs draft picks situation.
Did y'all not watch him at the Olympics? Matthews' line was my pick for best on team USA. It's such an obvious coach/team problem
I can’t even listen to the rest of this. Hearing Jesse say he’d prefer to give Boston pick 6-16 this season so we can keep a 2028 first is ridiculous. If you draft in the top 5 this year (and do a good job with that selection) he’ll play games in Matthews’ last season and may be a part of convincing Matthews to re-sign/ spend his career as a leaf. You want to give up a pick this year and keep a pick in 2028 because we MIGHT be bad in 2028?! MFer we ARE BAD RIGHT NOW! Jesse you are a nonsense person.
The first section, Steve is 100% right. Normally I’d say yes fire the coach except they already did that. Having three coaches in one year causes more instability than its worst than any “benefit”. Like they might get a jump but they already did that. Also they humans they know they screwed and aren’t going to jump like monkeys. It ultimately highlights the thing people say about leafs fans and media. Most fans seperate from the team a bit to help your mental health. Instead yall said you weren’t gonna open with the leafs than did and argued about something that doesn’t change the leafs outcome near as much as a couple lottery balls and there’s no definitive win with that either way.
Why would Lalonde wanna ruin his coaching career
They'll have one this yearrrrrr Jessse
Jarmo Kekäläinn apparently went into the Sabres locker room and told the guys that every single one there can be replaced. So basicly they got the new coach jumb and a god tier motivation by the prove it factor and a god tear we can prove them wrong factor for the outcast type of wake up call. Kekäläinen changed the atmosphere first.
In my humble opinion, VGK is hurting mainly because William "Wild Bill" Karlsson is hurt.
The nhl says you cant fight an unwilling opponent. It is a suspension. How is this different from the bertuzzi incident?
Adam with the worst take of all time on Catcher in the Rye.

🇺🇲 – 2 🥇
🇨🇦 – 1 🥈
How is that silver medal??? Losers.
I went to the Sabres/Tampa game and when I was 13, I was at the Sabres/Devils game 6 playoff game where it lasted into the 7th period. That game wasn't the best for action but it was so important to win. The Tampa one at the moment is on top for me.
