Rase me up and see my willingness. This is the way it has to be. Tell me why they lied to me.Fighting for love.Fighting for You're here, you took a fall. This was something that was nothing. A lot's been of you. You got it in your hand? You took a fall. He's got something. A lot of it on you. He's got it in your hand. How did you see this love is dead? This love is staring, staring, staring, staring. I'm fighting for love. I'm fighting for love. Raise me up and see my willingness. I'm fighting for love. I'm fighting for love. Raise me No, I don't really feel like doing it tonight.

I don't know. I don't know. It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of the fact that PR Inval is back in town. It feels like I should be in the building for that. Like I should get a one-on-one with him and stand on a bunch of phone books, right? Instead of doing the stream. Hey, hey. How you doing, everybody? Steve Dangle here, and welcome to the Sdpn YouTube channel. We're doing a stream. Isn't that fun? Tonight, we are streaming the Toronto police, hosting the New York Islanders. Good gosh, darn it. Pierre Ingvall makes his return to Toronto, a thing that I'm pretty sure he hasn't done, but I don't know, because they've played against them a few times. But that was in Long Island. Delete, delete. On Long Island. They get very upset about this. It's the first game after the All-Star break. Kent in the chat says, Hey, Steve Dangle, are you doing anything for 100,000 subs on S TPN? No immediate plans, but I've had an idea for a video for a while, for my personal channel, and we could always repurpose it for the Sdpn one. What I wanted to was basically show the journey to...

For me, it was going to be for 200. Then the Sdpn channel, which I had a 10-year head start on, the journey to 100. It's hard, and it's not overnight. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it is. I'm not jealous of YouTubers who have the overnight success. It actually just makes me more proud of what I've done. If that makes sense, of what we've done as a team. So as you can see, there's a billion and one questions. You don't have to Do super chat to get your questions through. It just makes it easier. We're running a company, all right? From O'Reilly, that That plaque is going to hit different when it arrives at the Stpn office. If it arrives. We're supposed to fill out a form, and we still haven't done it. Bert needs a goal, says Colin. Dude, Bert? Tyler Bertuzzi, he needs a new dad goal, and also he cut his hair. Oh, he's on the ice right now. It's so different. Shout out Natalie Morris, by the way. She does a great job. Produce Drew with the poll in the chat. Who wins the night, Leifs or Islanders? You know what? I got a good feeling.

Leifs. Leifs, the early leaders here. Shout out Freya, watching from Europe. Ramo says, What is love? Love is giving a seven-year contract to a guy you got for a third-round pick after he plays 18 games for you. I don't know what love is, but if I had to guess, it's whatever Lou Lamorello has for Pierre Angle. That's love. Leifs Justin, 24. Steve, important question. Cody or Rock? That's a wrestling question, and the answer is for the guy who's at work every day. Man, I like wrestling. Wwb is a hard company to give money to, dude. Geese Goose says, Did you get the rights to watch the game on the stream? No. So what I'm going to do, as I've done in previous streams, is obviously I'm going to talk about what's going on as you see it, or as I see it, rather. And I will do my best to clap at the face offs. Now, I don't always do that, and there's a few reasons. Number one, I forget. Number two... Oh, yeah, producer Drew is going to try to get the clock on screen. Number two, I I never really got bothered by this.

This is more of an Adam thing. But the line has been going... I've noticed them so much more since I started doing these things, man. Jessie said, Steve should sing the anthem. We stand on guard for thee.

Oh, Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

That was beautiful, wasn't it? She doesn't do the... Like the up there that Martina Ortiz-Luis used to do. From Luke Woodworth, first of all, thank you. Without naming the players, has a leaf player, possibly a current Leef, told you they have watched an LFR before? So they never say, Oh, I watch LFR. They say, I've seen your stuff. So Morgan Reilly, I know a scene. I don't know if Matthews has, but I do know his family has. And like, Oh, Jessie said, Stop. You stink. You stink. Without divulging too much, I'm fairly certain, Mitch Marner has. William Neelander, I highly doubt. Oh, producer Drew with a great point. Morgan Reilly drew a picture of me in the blue room making an LFR, so he must know, right? He should. He was drafted in 2012. Been yelling about him ever since. The game is underway, by the way, so I've already missed my first clapping. Islanders trying to bang away in front. Get in there, Johnny. He should be cheered every time he touches the puck. Natalie Drake. Hey. There's so many games. 82 games. That's you, isn't it? Yeah. Thanks for an amazing All-Star takeover weekend.

Thank you for coming. Man, that was fun. That was so fun. I can't wait to talk about it on tomorrow's podcast. Matthew Nies. Almost finds Mitch Marner in front. Matthews to noted LL LFR watcher, Morgan Reilly. Oh, bang! Oh! Mitch has had a couple of good looks already. We're about a minute in. Robert Bet says, Without camf, with camf out. But you said campf and out in one word, so it looks like Kerfoot. With camf out, can we pretty please get Barzal. I know it's a dream that I'm a Lea fan, so it comes naturally. There is less than zero % chance to least get Matthew Barzal. Although it was really cool to see him playing with Matthews. He was actually really good at the All-Star game. Islanders miss the net. I would put better chances on Clayton Keller, but even that, I don't think it's going to happen. Adam Wilde wants nudes. Stick around. Rain wants me to do leaf skits. Oh, I thought you misspelled it. Three favorite I think you should leave skits. Oh, man. Okay, the Hot Dog guy. Here, we're coming up on a whistle here. Exactly two minutes into the game, and And Puck has dropped.

Fourth line is on the ice. Ryan Reeve's out there with Pontus Holmberg and Bobby McMahon. The Hot Dog one. The Garfield one's pretty good. And either Dan flashes or It's a pig. Icing is the call, 17:37 to go in the first. From Wind Walker, 57. Caps fan here. Wilson plus, how many pics gets us Marner? You have fallen and bumped your head. You know, it's incredible. People are talking about Marner potentially getting dealt, or at least it's increasing a little bit. Whatever the return is, Puck has dropped in the leave Oh, my God! The Puck went behind the net, bounced back, and almost went off of Samsonov's foot. What was I in the middle of saying? If the Leifs were to trade Marner, the package, I'm positive, would be incredibly disappointing. And it's not because he's a bad player or Brad for Living sucks. It's because of the salary cap. This isn't the NBA, and I know they have a cap, too. It's a little different, obviously. Teams don't have space. And basically, any team wanting to get Marner would probably have to give the Leifs money as well, players who make money, multiple players.

There is a way to do that and win the trade. I think pretty confidently, the Jets have won the Pierre-Luc Dubois trade, at least in the early running. But it's difficult. Leifs in the Islander zone. Wallström working it up. Islander is not connecting. Oh, my God. They haven't connected on their passes very well tonight so far, and then the Lefs almost gave it away. Short-haired Tyler Bertuzzi is out there, and it is going to throw me off all game long. Yusuf. Hey, Steve. What a smart insider man. I think the Leaps will do at the deadline. For some reason, that triggered Siri on on my phone. Honestly, I think it's going to be really overwhelming, guys. I think it's going to be a lot of depth. It's going to be a lot of depth. Maybe a hockey move or two. But all that Tana stuff we were talking about at the beginning of the season, nah. If they do make a big trade, I think it's going to be with the future in mind. I could see that Puck goes out of play with 1541 to go in the first. Bit of a slow pace so far.

In the... Puck has dropped. In the chat, who gets a point in this game first, Aengvall or Tavares? I'm going to put Aengvall, just because the former leaf is the free space. Don't look at me like that. You know it is. About four and a half gone. It hasn't been a lot going on. There's been a few scoring chances is, but I don't even know if any of them actually added up to a shot on goal. Jetslegend says, SDP in Australia win. That's a bucket list for sure. Never say never, man. We'll probably start on other Canadian cities, on the United States, and then... I would think we would dip our toe into the UK first, and then all bets are off. But that's just me. Sdp takeover of Aberdeen. Samsonov at the save. Islanders working back to the point. Down low. Leaps running around a little bit here. Bang from the point. Samsonov doesn't know where it is. How isn't this play dead? That didn't hit the netting? Okay, it's still going. If anyone can tell me where the hell that puck went. Marner and Barzal going at it. Teammates, just a few days ago, Islanders missed the net wide, and it bay blades its way around the boards.

Sorry for what is going to be semi-frequent coughing throughout the stream. I shook 40,000 hands this weekend. Matthew Nies! Oh, stopped by Sorokin Matthews. Stop by Sorokin. Man, nice. He's tantalizing, man. He's tantalizing. He had a few games there where he looked awful, but for the most part, he's been pretty consistent all season. Here comes Wallstrom, his shot to fuck his wide. Williger into the line, kicked in by Nathan. By the way, Islanders fans, how are we feeling about Noah Dobson? Third in defensive scoring, one of the saviors of my fantasy team, not at the All-Star Game. That seems crap. Islanders blast it wide. Noah Dobson, straight up, one of the most underrated players in the league. Here come the aisles. Oh, Ingvall! Wiffs on it. Gets the buck back. Robertson running around, leaves Hemd in again. Samson off with a save. Robertson. Hit by Engvall, taken down by Angvall. Robertson should challenge Angvall to a fight. Producer Drew, that can't be true. But Noah Dobson has more points than Matthew Barzal. Has Barzal played every game or most games? Reeves. Oh, Bertuzzi. This guy should have 50 goals. Oh, my God, man. Tavares. Stopped.

Tavares. Stopped. Bertuzzi just hit Sorokin pretty hard. Sorokin seems fine, though. Is the Islander's net even on? Reeves. Wide of the net. Benwa takes the puck for a walk. Drops it for Domi, I think. Reeves. Puck is back to the point. Leeves had the Islander Nielander is running around there for a moment. That's unbelievable. So Barzal and Dobson have the same amount of games played. Dobson's a defenseman, and he wasn't an All-Star. I don't get that at all. Nielander out there with Noah Gregor right now. Have I just not been paying attention, or is this a weird line? Is this Nielander with Domi and Gregor on purpose, or is this a partial change? Slow pace has turned fast pretty quick here. Nylander across ice to Bobby McMahon. He's got Holmberg with him! Gloved by, Saroque in 11:17 to go on the first. I'm going to... I'm going to text my to score something rewarding. Yeah, I'm going to... Or a tea with honey. I'm asking my production assistant, my wife. It's her birthday, by the way, and I'm doing a stream, and now asking her for a lozange or some tea. Money comes in and money goes out at the end.

Oh, my goodness. She has the same birthday as Dawn Cherry. From BHG771, Look for Dobson's time to go down now a little, you think? I don't know. Did the Islanders make a big trade on D? That I don't remember because the All-Star Weekend was meant. News to me. Natalie Drake, how long... Oh my gosh. How long will there be seven Metro teams in the hunt? Is it for real seven? So Columbus is obviously gone. They're not there. They're not there. They're not going to be there. If they could win 10 straight games. They wouldn't be close. Someone said, Looking to join Adam in divorce proceedings. Hilarious. Wow. Well, okay, listen, Pittsburgh, New Jersey, and Washington all have 51. The Islanders have 52. They're there. They're there for sure. The Flyers, who are complicated as hell, have 56. That's a five-point gap between most of those teams. The Islanders, obviously, a little less. And they're not going to get a wild card, probably, because the Leifs and Red Wings both have more than the Flyers. Puck is about to drop at 11:17. Hey, we got a fake Puck drop. Let's go. Drop the Puck, you stink.

Drop it. Drop it. There we go. Puck has dropped. Lefs, throw it through the slot to no one. Bhg 771 Pelican Pollock are fully healthy now. That makes much more It makes sense. I mean, he's third and D-scoring in the league, so his time might go down, but also the quality of competition is going to go down for him, too, right? Or at least you would think. Lilligren, good job there to get out of a bit of a sticky situation. Nice. Trying to do a little too much there. Matthews. Good job getting it to Marner. Oh, he just missed his top corner. Marner's look good so far. He's been sniffing. Matthew shoots. It was deflected wide, though. Nijs tries to get in there, can't quite get body position. And the Islander is, once again, not able to connect on a pass. Samson off. Actually a decent clearing attempt. Timothy Jimathy Brodie as we just pass the halfway mark of the first period. Robertson drops it for Gregor, who tries to get it to Robertson a little too late. Doing too much, doing too much. Shoot it. Like, That's a big and/or fast duo. Oh, off the bar, and the Islanders score on the rebound.

Barzal gets the rebound. Who was that that basically broke the crossbar in half? Good Lord. With 9:29 to go in the first period, the Islanders strike first. Yeah, they're showing that scoring chance again between Robertson and Gregor. Too much. Bang right off the crossbar. Not the crossbar, sorry. The post. It was Barzal to Letty to Barzal. Mekabe tried to kick the leg out. It didn't work. More like Barz L. Puck has dropped. Leaves out shooting the Islander seven to five. Islander is obviously outscoring them one to nothing, and that's what matters right now. Lilligran, simple play. Boy, This game is too quick for geo these days, man. Producer Drew in my ear, does Samsonov look shaky? I think he looks okay. There have been a few really chaotic plays, like pucks. That one puck that went off the end boards and then off his foot in the one that was above him, and he couldn't find it. I think he's okay. Leaps barely holding on side. Morgan Reilly behind the net for Tavares. Bertuzi in there. Neilander. Oh, Tavares. That was a spinning play there. I for sure thought that was going into the corner and going to be nothing.

Jay Bond says, Do we have any Beeps fans watching? We got a poll in the chat. Oh, Tavares. To Nylander. Shot, stop by Sroke and pick up your socks, Willy. I have you in fantasy, you're killing Poll in the chat, who is the starter once Wul returns? Samsonov, Wul, or Jones? It's obviously not Jones. To me, they're going to split the net, but Wul will eventually be the starter. I think Samsonov would have to be very solid. Bayes' Samsonov is fighting the fuck and allowing rebounds. I'm trying not to overthink him. The other night, it was before the After a break, he can't remember what it was. He allowed not such a great goal, and everyone went, Oh, my God. And then he was fine after that. You know what I mean? I don't know if the birthday girl got my text. And that's okay. It's her party. We're in a commercial break right now, by the way, in case you didn't know. Oh, Hunter Dylan, question for Steve. Favorite season of LFR you've done and why? This one. Now, I am actually really enjoying this one. There's Patrick Waal literally frothing at the mouth, you maniac.

I'm really having a good time in this one, but one of the least expected and least predictable seasons I've ever done or been a part of was LFR 10, which was the '16, '17 season. Obviously, the Matthews rookie season. Puck has dropped, Marner rookie season, all that. Charles Baker, games rig, fist bumping the ref. I know you got to have, I think the leaves are offside here. I know you got to have a bit of a rapport with the ref, but I hate that stuff. Here comes Tyler Bertuzzi. He's all alone, though. Worked into the boards there. Islanders will clear it, and I believe that's icing from Natalie Drake. How are we feeling about Timothée Lill's? Can't remember who it was who said this weekend. But we keep waiting to see if there's something more than a third pair of guy there. I just don't know. Puck is in the Islander zone. We're waiting for the Puck drop. There it is. Matthews does not win it. Matthew Nye is giving Chase. Yeah, I'm just Neylander. Neylander, sorry. Lillegren is fine. He's not bad. But at this point in his career, is he even a fully established, everyday NHL player.

Like on this team, sure. Oh, this looks dangerous. Kick-save from Lillegren. Leifs hemmed in Islander is moving it really well. Marner clears it. I think this is going to be icing, though. Yep. I'm going to call my wife, see if it works. Hey, can you check your text? I'm sorry. I love you. I'm going to hang up. Well, we'll see if I get beat up. Robert Bet says, I want to see you wear that coat Bieber wore for an LFR. Puck has dropped. We looked it up. That is a $2,300 coat. So if you want to buy me the coat, you go right ahead. I will not be purchasing it. Islander is working it around. Mayfield, blocked by Nye. He gets it back, though. Nice. Oh, my gosh. Fighting for his life out there, and so is this entire leaf team. I tell you what, Samsonov looks fine. It's the rest of the team I'm worried about. Marner, good read. Good clear from geo. Is that going to be ice? Oh, come on. Yeah, Marner's complaining. I don't know if that's ice, dude. I get it. Damn. Leaps out shooting the Islanders 9:00 to 7:00 with 5:40 to go in the first period.

Puck is about to be dropped in the Leaps defensive zone. Puck is dropped. William Neylander. Stripped to the buck because the Islanders sworn them. They're not connected on a lot of their passes, but I really like the Islanders game so far tonight. They're just trying, man. Not that the Leaps aren't trying, but they're definitely getting outworked in their own barn for sure. Islanders, again, easy access to the zone. Samsonov with the save. Face off in the leave zone. Jay Money, $2,300. Is it the Cloak of Invisibility? And Jessie Blake said $2,300 on sale. Apparently, it was originally four grand. Adam McCarthy. Hey, Steve. Hey, Adam. I was just wondering if Leo liked the Belly Smash Got. I hope the leaves have a great game. Yes. So Belly is the... One Thank you. Love you. Happy birthday. We need a sponsor there, Fisherman's Friends. Let's go. Belly is the mascot for the Belleville Bulls. I found out something that is one of my favorite hockey facts I've ever learned. I learned this from talking to Barrick the Bear, who is the mascot of the Kingston Frontnax. A bunch of the masc, like OHL and I guess other league, are in a group chat.

They just have a mascot group chat. Somehow Belly from the Belleville Senators, I might have called them the Bulls, force of habit. He got in touch with Barrick, and he ended up coming to our Kingston thing and dropped off a little belly plushy, and it was signed. So yes, Leo loves that. It's in the living room. Oh, there's the big coat. There's Austin with big coat guy. The great Q-Man says, If you do a backflip right now, I'll give you two bucks or something. I would die. You know what? I'm pretty happy with what I'm able to do athletically these days. I'd die. I'd die for sure. 4:39 to go in the first period. Pontes Humberg wins the face off, but the Islanders steal it. Bobby McMahon. Oh, I really want to see what he can do with more ice. He's so fast. Decent hands. Reeves colliding. Leaps trying to get out of their own zone. Reeves chasing the fuck into the corner. Whoa, the fourth line in there. Put that on, Simon. Reeves working it around. Oh, they almost tip it home. Fourth line has had a few good shifts tonight. That's really all you can ask for, right?

Reeves takes down his man hard. Is he getting a call for that? Yes, he is. I imagine the call is interference. Not good, dude. That was a pretty good shift him, too. And he just decks a guy on his way off. Yeah, really late hit on Matt Martin. Maybe not really late. That hit doesn't get called in the playhouse. Bored. Cording? Did he touch the boards? Do I need to watch it again? Maybe. Okay. Puck is about to be dropped. Leifs got a penalty to kill. Here we go. Puck is dropped. 3:40 to go in the first period. Marner clears it off the glass. Steve, as an oilers fan, I love the oilers segments on SDP. What are your thoughts on ConnectMe and Gensel rumors to the oilers? Also, I love Leifs' losses. Shut up. You know what? The oilers have They won 16 straight, and they just added Cori Perry. I don't really think they need to be doing all that. You know what I mean? Of course, it would make them better. I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is, how would you even fit them on the team? You'd have to trade off of the roster, and the only way to even conceivably make that work is to trade Jack Campbell, which I just don't think is happening.

There's Noah Dobson working it around. He has it at the point again. Passes to Barack Nelson. Simone Benoit with the block. He's down. He's working on getting up. Yeah, crowd giving him a big round of applause there. 2:37 to go in the first under a minute to go in this penalty kill. I think that caught him on the inside of the knee. Yeah, he'll be okay. Ref dropped the buck, and he didn't like it, so he's going to try to do it again. Benwa is on the bench shaking it off. Seems okay. I think this is Matthews out there for the D-zone draw, and he wins it. Back to Giordano. Battle in the corner. It's Matthews and Marner out there for the forwards. There's blasted Unstop by Samsonov. Tj Brodie. Can't clear it. There's Envall. Shoots it. Deflection under Samsonov. When we get a whistle. How did he stop that? That was a knuckler. Yeah, that went off of Jirdano, and I have no idea where that is. Did it get caught in his equipment or something? I think it might have gone in his pad. Went into some vortex. Islanders, win the face off clean.

Leaps, clear it out of the zone and down the ice. Less than 30 seconds to go in the penalty kill, just over two minutes to go in the first period. Jake McCabe, almost gets the steal there. Marner, can't get the steal. Shot, stop by Samsonov. And the Leifs clear the rebound. Islanders, trying to do something with the last few seconds here. Never mind, they just dump it in. Leifs, or Reilly, rather, whips it up the ice. Is this icing? Yes, it is. Yeah. So the argument on the broadcast right now is Morgan Reilly the fuck before the penalty is over, which I'm pretty sure was the case. So it's a really weird group of guys out there. Reeves is out there with, I think it's like, Riley Benwa. Tavares is out there with Ryan Reeves. Tavares wins the face off to Reeves. Ryan Reeves was line mates with John Tavares and William Neylander for a hot second there. Under 90 seconds to go in the first. Lilligren. Neylander trying to find the puck. The Leaps have had a few sniffs, but they need a real bonafide scoring chance here. Feels like Shoroken was tested pretty early on and then not much since.

And we got a whistle. Interference call on Tyler Bertuzzi, and he does not like it. Now, let's see if this is actually interference. Oh, get out of here. Get out of here. Bertuzzi goes, Holy F. Okay, Bertuzzi does get in Barzell's way for sure. Barzell grabs him. That stinks. Boo. Sheldon Keef just gave the nod that suggests, yes, I understand why that's a penalty, but you got to take the other guy. Puck has dropped, leaves clear it down the ice. Last minute of play in this period. Shots are now 12 to 10 for the Islanders. Marner almost steals that. Drone machine says, You can't do that. It's a pretty weak call, though. Puck is up and out of play. 45.2 seconds ago in the first period, a minute 40 to go in this penalty kill. Someone said, Refs on shrooms. Well, that means I'm going to dinner with them after the game. And Puck is dropped. Oh, Puck has dropped. Get it out of there. Leifs can't clear the zone. Oh, Horvat. One-timer block. Leifs getting in front of a lot of pucks tonight. Marner with a good deflection there. He's quietly having a pretty decent night so far.

I'd like to see some scoring chances. 20 seconds to go in the first. Dobson all over Marner. I don't think that's going to be a call. Benoît tries to center it, tries to put it off the side of the net, and the clock is just going to wind down here on the first period. Islanders out shooting the Leaps by one, and that one is the difference so far. One, nothing. The New York Islander is leading the Toronto Maple Leaps after one. Yani says, Is the ref from BC? Actually, we can find that out. What is the officiating crew for tonight? So we're at intermission right now. We're going to get to intermission entertainment in just a moment. We can do it whenever we want. Tonight's Next refs are Garret Rank from Elmira, Ontario, and Brandon Blandina. No, Blandina, who is... He's got to be one of the youngest reps. Just Just judge him by his face. He's from Centennial, Colorado. He's got fewer than 200 games. He's never done a playoff game. He's done a hundred and 96 regular season game, so he's definitely one of the shortest tenured refs out there. The Leaps have a winning record with Garrett Rank.

Last year, the Islanders were 0-4 with this guy, but they were also undefeated with Blandina. It's perfect. It's a perfect matchup. So you know What? Joshua says, Yo, I'm from Elmira. Good for you. You know what? Let's take a little bit of a break. All of another lozange. And producer Drew has some entertainment for us. This is a little clip from some of our festivities that we had over the weekend. What did we do over the weekend? Well, we took over the Rec Room, which is this amazing arcade bar downtown. You can't even really call it that. It's so huge. Right next to Steemwistle Brewery. We did a takeover on Friday night, or rather, Friday afternoon, and also Saturday afternoon. We had something like 200 people the Friday, 300 the Saturday. It was absolutely ridiculous and awesome. We had lots of guests and lots of fun. So here, as one of our guests, we were talking about how deep the Leaps can go in the playoffs with Sid Sixero. And I thought it was a really honest conversation. You might love it, you might hate it, but you will feel something. And you can let me know what you feel when we come back after you're done watching it.

Who thinks the Leaps make the playoffs? All right. Who thinks the Leaps make past the first round to the second round?

Wow. Who lives in a perennial state of existential dread? Who's on mushrooms?

All right, quickly. Third round. Any believers? Yeah. Okay, we got believers. I don't know. Okay.go Devils.Go Devils? That's right. I didn't bring my pajamas. Sorry, buddy.Shannon.

André-pilat.yeah. Yeah.

Love André-Pilat. What about the Stanley Cup Finals? Who sees the Leaps? Honestly sees the Leaps in the finals.

Why not? Why not? There was no applause. Again with the henchmen. Yeah. You're very good at the henchmen. There was no applause. But a big third round support.

Big third round. I like that we think- Big third round. All right, so I want to get your opinions now. I'm going to start from Jesse, work my way over. Jesse, where do you think the Leifs, as of right now, this can change. I'm not going to hold you to this. Where do the Lefs end up at the end of this season? Are we in April, are we in May, or are we in June? You're talking about their playoff performance. The playoff performance, because I'm assuming they're making it. It's at least the second round. You think second round? I think they can win a round this year, again. Not a lot of people support in that. Not a lot of support, but I think at least the second round. Okay. Steve, known for your leaf fan reaction videos.

I am excited to watch Simone Benoît play games where he is allowed to just simply beat the shit out of people. I think that'll be really cool. I think every year, some team shows up and we're like, They stink. And then the NHL goes, Aha, they stink in the regular season. But there is a new rule book that is as... It's thinner than Texas toast. They just throw it in there, and some team beats the shit out of everyone on their way to a Stanley Cup. Wouldn't it be great if that was Toronto? Does anyone think that's going to be Toronto? It's quieter than the mushrooms. Quieter than the mushrooms. Not a good sign.

The mushroom crowd is having a big woo night, I just want to say. All right, Sid, I'm afraid to ask because I'm seeing the look on your face. And by the way, it's not that you dislike the Toronto Maple leaves. Is it that you dislike delusion? Is that what it is? Tell us what it is.

I'm not a fan of delusion. You're not a fan of it?

You're more of a realist.

No, but I just... Okay, since we're in the applaud mood, since everyone's Johnny applause in the room. Don't antagonize our guests. I want to ask a serious question in the room. I'm being serious. I've been up since 3:30. Tired.

Who in the room believes the leaves salary cap has been managed properly?

No shit. No shit. Quietest rec room has been since they opened this morning.

Man, all of your faces are hilarious right now. I just want to say.

Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. All right. There we go. Can I stand up? Can I stand up?

Let this man cook.

Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. A few of us out here have been saying for years this cap was horrifically mismanaged. I love Austin Matthews. Love him. Me, too. You know what? He's already a Hall of Famer. He's already a Hall of Famer. Am I wrong? I think you're right.

First ballot.First ballot.First.

Ballot.thank you, Justin I like William Neylander's game a lot. A lot. Let's not tell you what's of ours. I like the numbers Marner puts up most years. I have no problem with it. I have no problem with it.All-star.I have All-star.All-star, yeah. Fourth pick by T. Matthews.mitch Marner.Real good. But they need other things. They need defensemen who are crazy. I don't mind Chris Tanev, but is Chris Tanev... What's your name, sir? Ryan. Let me ask you a fucking question, Ryan. Does everyone in the room realize what winning a Stanley Cup actually is? I'm going to unnecessarily walk up and down the stage. You're going to lap. Winning a Stanley Cup means two and a half months of Playing games every other night, blood, sweat, and tears. Thank you, sir. Which means you need crazy MFers to go out there like Vegas had, like Colorado's had. Where's Drew? There you are. There he is. There he is, yeah. I was hoping you weren't there. Like every other team we've ever seen in the history of this league over two and a half months, do you believe the Leifs have those guys?Oh, wow.

I'm surprised.My.

Job is done.Wow.Okay.Okay. Damn.

All right. Now, dude, I like being humble about what we've built and the show, and I think it's lovely all these people have come here. Any member of Leifs management sees the video of the reaction to that question.

Which was honest, by the way.

It should send a chill down their spine. All right. We're on lozange two. And we're having a good time. So, Sid 6-0. What did you think? I got to tell you. There's me talking like him. I got No, I got to tell you. He had a room full of leaf fans. And he's like, Who thinks you're going all the way? It's a quiet room for that question and that question only. This should tell you everything you need to know. Right now, the panel on Sportsnet, the question they're answering is, what should the Leaps Trade Deadline strategy be? Actively buy, only tinker, or stand pat? That's just not a conversation around a team that you know is great. Are they Florida? Could they pull off what Florida did last year? Florida beat the hell out of everybody and for two months had the best goalie in the world. Did the Leifs strike you as a team that can do that? Heading into last year, if you go, Steve, would you put Serguey Bobrowski top 10 in the league? I'd say no. If I told you, Bobrowski was the best goalie in the world for two months, though, I would believe you.

He's one of those goalies. We've seen it. We've seen him for long stretches of time just go, I think I'm going to be Thanos. Is that Joseph Wall? Like, already? Yeah. Is that Samsonov? Ever? Martin Jones? For a sliver of January. It's tough, man. It's tough. I have no idea what this team is going to look like. I think how Samsonov continues to play and how Wold plays when he comes back is going to play a huge factor here. All right. Producer Drew, are you laughing at the Ted Lasso question? I see it. From Natalie Drake, Have you seen Ted Lasso? Yes. Is Roy just mad to Varas? If I remember correct, Roy was old and slow and finished. I hope not. I really, really hope not. I had a theory that we talked about at, I think it was the Saturday Live show, and it was about Matthews being named Captain. This summer, John Tavares can sign a contract extension. Now, if he signed an extension that takes him to the end of his career and ideally gives a discount, I mean, he's not going to get 11 again. What if on the same day the extension is announced, rather than it being him getting stripped of the captancy, he gives it to Matthews, and he does this big thing like, It's time.

I've been a captain in the NHL for a long time. I've been a captain for more than one team, and this guy has it. This is the guy. This is the best goal scorer in the league, but I've watched him grow from a boy into a man, into a leader. Who's not shot out of a cannon for that? And you make a video. Oh, my God. Sorry, they just showed a highlight of Chris Kreider ending Nathan McKinnon. Oh, in the next highlight is McKinnon scoring. Never mind. Ended? Again. Imagine that video, though, that announcement, and Tavares handing a 34 Matthews captain Jersey to Austin. Not Sheldon, not Brad, not Brandon. Tavares gives the captain seat to Matthews. I think that'd be incredible. Glenn Peter says Marner for captain. He's the only one that actually fights for the team. That's fascinating. Water Snob. That's a great name. Reilly is the captain. Jay Diesel said, Is Steve on cocaine? Why is he pausing and then doing that with his mouth? It's a fisherman's friend, dude. Mushrooms, coke. Not everything is drugs. Man. Knuck. 867 says, Hi from the Yukon. Hi from Ajax. Great to see you. Shakenbake says, Matthews.

Or sorry. Shakenbake says, Sandine should be captain. I don't know. What would that look like? Can you Photoshop what that would look like? Right now, Stpn Sports just dropped a tweet asking if you at any of the takeover events this weekend? And you took some pictures. Could you share it with us? That'd be nice. Dave says, Hi, I'm from Niagara. Hey, where's everyone from? Oden says, Hi, from Newfoundland. We got Nebraska in there. Oh, and also, Click like, click subscribe. Tell all your friends. Gosh, darn it. This channel doesn't pay for itself. Oh, that's How does the channel work? We'll talk about it after. Robert Brett. If the Leifs ever went on a 16-game winning streak, how many more... Oh, my God, everyone's in the chat. How many more people would jump on the bandwagon that the NHL is rigged in favor of the Lefs? If you ask NBA fans if the 2019 Championship counts, They'll just tell you no. The Leaps will be that times a thousand. Where you're watching from is coming in too quick for me to read it all. Tokyo, Minnesota, Victoria, Kingston, St. John, New Brunswick, Driftwood, Saskatchewan, Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, sorry, Beamsville, the UK, Finland, Colorado, Victoria, on Long Island, BC, Kansas, finger flick.

Northwest, England. Isn't that called Scotland? Oh, they got it. Dildo, Newfoundland. I don't believe you. I don't believe you. That is a real place, but I don't believe you. North Dakota, Guantan... No, you're not. All right, second period is about to get underway. The sound of the computer first I will clap to let you know when the Puck has dropped, producer Drew is still working out the bugs in the clock. We can't get it to go again unless we restart the whole stream, and we don't want to do that. Puck is dropped. It's okay. We haven't done that many of these on our own. We're figuring it out. Islanders attacking the leave zone. The Islanders They still have a little under a minute in a power play. Oh, Palmieri looked in some discomfort there. Leaves clear the zone. Under 30 seconds to go here in this penalty kill. 30 seconds gone in the first period. Oh. Benoît laid someone out, and Bo Horvat is going Simone Benoît. This is a pretty good trade, I got to say. Oh, Benoît. Oh, Benoît tags Horvat at center ice, and they wrestle each other down. Oh, Benoît tagged him pretty good.

Who got blown up there? Was it Barzal? Yeah, Barzal's got the puck. Wham! He just ducked that. That could have been real bad. Horvat goes for the punch and wham! Yeah, Benoît staggered Horvat a little there. That was a good tilt. Drew says, According to Google, Horvat is 215 pounds and Benoît is 205. You know what? I do believe that. I'm pretty sure Benoît is taller. But he's not... If you've seen those videos of him with his equipment off, he's pretty svelte. Benoît's hand looks not good. When he tagged Horvat, I think he got a lot of helmet. That is a Purple hand. Dylan says, To clear cap, does Toronto trade Lilligren and also go Bs go? Lilligren makes 1.4. This is the least problem. Unless you're dealing one of the core guys, there's really not much you can do. They have like, domey and Brody and Bertuzzi, and if you're not dealing one of them, then there's really no point. Oh, Marner. Open eyes. Scores. Mitch Marner. And is that a shorty? Under a minute into the second period, we got a big hit, a big fight, and a goal to tie things up.

It was four on four. Tovar is to Marner, and he just outweighs Saroque and freezes him. How did he end up that wide open? What a shot from Mitch Marner. I was singing his praises all through the first period, and that's a nice goal. Atta boy, Mitchie. Five seconds of 4 on 4 to go. So are the Leifs about to get a power play? Here they are. I guess that was an instigator on Horvat, eh? Interesting. So the Leifs just scored 4 on 4 to tie it up, and now they get an almost full power play. Marner with it Again. Why not? Reilly at the point. Marner getting bunched up. Reilly escapes to Matthews. To Marner. Oh, what a pass! Neelander, Tavares. Oh, Sorokin covers it up. Oh, A little fly by the seat of their pants, but that was silky. 18:36 to go in the second period. Not wasting time, eh? That's a fantastic start. And the puck is... The puck is dropped. Kneelander. Can't get it back to the point. Good read there from the Islanders. Who's that, Brock Nelson? Really underrated player. Really like him. Basically always available in fantasy. It's crazy.

Matthews, way up the ice, tries to send Willy on a breakway, and now Willy's one on three, and they're offside. I don't blame them for going for it. We got a whistle. Click like, click subscribe. And also a brand new Steve Dangle podcast tomorrow. Brand new Chris Johnston show as well. Cj was in London at the police press conference today. Puck is dropped. A little over 18 minutes to go in the second period here. Islanders dump it. Samsonob, I think, faked out rightly there. I'll allow it. It didn't cost the leaves, and it looked funny, so I'll allow it. Marner gains the zone, tries to drop it, doesn't work, stolen. This is the makings of a two-on-one here. Reilly pushing Wallstrom off. Okay. Leifs solve that issue. His power play hasn't been great after getting a goal just before before it started. Marner dropping it for Matthews. A little too cute here. Ten seconds to go here in this power play. Matthews going to gain the zone. Robertson, Matthews. Islanders. Oh, break away. Oh, Samsonov went down way too early. And first National Hockey League goal in his sixth game, who is this? Mcclane? I do not know who this is.

I'm not going to lie. Who's McClane? I got to look this up now. Yeah, Samsonov looked terrible on that one. Producer Drew is saying he looked like an EASHL goalie. Who the heck is McClane? Kyle McClane, 24 years old, Oh, Drew, he's from Livingston, New Jersey, without the E at the end. That's his first, not just goal, it's his first NHL point. Because of course, Dylan Charo, which retired player do you wish played on Toronto? Oh, boy. Brodie breaks that up. Gary Roberts. This team needs a little Gary Roberts right now. Also, Zack Hyman. I know he's not retired. I just want him back. Islander's working it around. Oh, Max doing me a lot of poise there. It's breaking in two on two. Robertson in there with Bertuzzi. So the Leaps get a little bit of momentum going there, and it's shot. That sucks. Because we got a whistle. Mm Card guy. Thanks for everything you and your team does for sick kids. Out of all the trade... First of all, thank you. Out of all the trade rumors out there, which one would you like to see come true for Toronto? I have a little bit of information I was given, and I'm trying to think of if I should divulge it.

It's not really... It doesn't really answer your question. The They just aren't really in anything right now. They're not in any specific trade rumors. But here, you know what? I could put it this way. The information I was given is they are still hot and horny for, I apologize for using that term, but they're hot and horny for a right-handed shot defenseman. And they need one so bad that they would go after A name that frankly sucks. Puck is out of play. 15:33 to go in the first period. Second period. Jackie M. Says, Sorry, Steve. We love Hyman. You can't have him back. Kyle McClane back out there. 15:33 to go in the second. Puck has dropped. Ellie says, Steve saying, Horny has to be the most unnerving thing I've heard in a while. You know what? You're right. I'll stop saying Horny. Horny. Sorry. Got to keep you on your toes. John Tavares. Nice move. Brody has it. To knee lander. Someone go to the net. Puck is out of play. All I'm going to say about the defenseman that I heard the rumor about, all I'm going to say is someone in the chat got it right.

Puck has dropped. Lillegren. Lillegren out there with Jake McCabe right now. Marner throws it on. Where's the rebound? Stop by Sorokin. I think Matthew's got that rebound. Matthews loses the Puck in the ref's feet, keeps it in for a moment, but just a moment. Oh, team's trading turnovers. Here's Barzal waiting for a teammate, finds one at the point. Islanders have done a great job at the point tonight. Matthews behind the net, out of the Out of the reach of Marner. Matthews, he's going to win that battle easy. He's so good at one-on-one battles. Leaps, three on three here. Matthews, out of the reach of Marner. In the corner. Lefs trade their D pair. Reilly out there with Giordano. What's Keef doing? Whoa. Oh, Max Domi almost sent on a breakaway. Huck is out of play with 13:42 to go on the second. Excuse me. Keelen says, Met you at a Marlies game when I was a kid. Tried to help me identify the autographs on my jersey. Kujo, Clark, but we couldn't figure out the last one, a number 21, found it the other day and realized it was Boreas Salming. Made me smile. That's incredible.

Dude, you have a jersey signed by Wendell Clarke, Curtis Joseph, and Boreas Salming. Wow. I'm trying to think of a word that that jersey makes me feel. Like a word to describe how that story made me feel. Hey, Chat, can you think of a word that might describe how you would feel if you found that jersey? Varly says, Old. That is not what I was going for. Mike says, Joy. I'm trying to give you all permission to bomb the chat with the word There it is. There it is. Sir God's just goes, Divorce. Will says, Steve, please. Automod is not happy. Robert Malloy says, There are so many hidden messages. I'm Wait, all the hidden messages. Are you telling me those people are in horny jail? Sorry to tell the Sdpn. Mods 13:42 to go in the second period. Puck is dropped. Max Domi loses the face off. Islanders take it. Oh, the Leifs D pairs were weird because Benwa was in the box. He's out of the box now. He's with Jake McCabe again. Why didn't I think of that? Samsonov, out of the net, plays the puck to Benwa, up the boards, can't get it out.

Man, Max Domi and nick Robertson, I really do love them, but they get hemmed in a lot. Here they come. Nick Robertson. Here's the thing about a line that gets as much ice time as they do. You get hemmed in. That's your whole shift. They just broke out. They couldn't get anything going. Now, if the Islanders trap them, they're screwed. Like, these guys all got to be looking to get off right now. Yeah, there's Matthews. Oh, shoot. Marzel! Misses the net. Islanders, put it on. Oh, a bunch of deflections. Reilly gets it. He'll clear it up the center of the ice. The islanders fall down, they go offside. Brody helps break it out. Nye slams on the breaks, slams them on again. Around to Matthews. Matthews and Marner have looked pretty nice tonight. Oh, oh, oh. Reilly almost with the spinarama backhander. Stopped by Sorokin. Someone said, Sammie's hurt? Oh, don't you give me that? Yes, James, we can read it. They're not showing a replay of Sammie. Producer Drew says, If you keep jinksing Georgiev, he's going to ban you. Marner. Oh, no. Leef's trying to prevent Two on one here. Shot wide. Okay.

Islanders still have it. They seem to have temporarily prevented the worst. Matthews. Eew. Nice move. Going one on four there. Tries to give it to Nye. Marner. Oh, nice to the point. Matthews. Good sauce there into the corner for Lillegrand. I think he's maybe trying for a change there. No, he's still out. 11:30 to go in the second period here. Geo with it at the point. Fires it on. Where is it? Rebound! Tavares. Oh, it goes wide. We need more from this line. They've gone quiet. Yani said, Samsonov is fine. They're trolling. Okay. We said something that didn't happen, and he thought it happened. Buh. Buh. Neelander. Nice move. Drive's the net. Oh, Bertuzzi. That keeps it alive, though. Neylander to Benoît. Put it on, you're a goal scorer. Tavares with it now. A little bit of momentum from this line here. Islanders with a happy accident there, and they gained the zone. Barzal. Oh, boy. Islanders got a good match Watch up here against the leaves' fourth line. Oh, no. They're running around. Reeves. You got to challenge the point a little bit there, sir. Horvat knocks down his man in front. That was McCabe.

But the puck is covered. 10:05 to go in the second period. Money dynamic. Matanya? Would you or have you ever thought of having a segment similar to Hatpicks or Dangleets on the podcast. Not on the podcast, but in the other things we do on Sdpn. Yes. We got some things to figure out. One thing I'm learning about running your own ship, Puck has dropped, is nothing ever happens quite as fast as you want it to. Give away in front. It's that McClane kid again. Passes. Shot is blocked. Puck is not. What happened? Play is blown dead. Was that a high stick or something? That was weird. Oh, went off of hand. So the islanders were waiting for the leaves to touch it. 9:50 to go in the second period. We got a commercial break. Arismix, when is the next Dangle data? We don't have a date. But we will be doing more of those. Producer Drew goes, whenever Steve films it. That's another thing that I definitely need to figure out is being realistic about a content schedule. I can't do everything, and I want to, and it's annoying. You want to do the LFRs?

Yes. You want to do the podcast? Yes. You want to do DangleData? Yes. You want to do Trade Trees? Yes. You want to do Hatpicks? Yes. You want to do Dangle-ts? Yes. You want to do streams? Yes. You want to do news videos, like when there's a deal or sign it? Yes. There isn't time to do all of them. I wish there was. I keep campaigning Justin Trudeau to give us 30-hour days. He won't do it. That's why I got that big flag outside of my house. Okay, so parking plus says, Delegate, Delegate, Delegate. I could have Drew edit everything. I could hire five editors or whatever. I still have to shoot them all and research them all. Also, So we're not a giant telecom, so Delegate, Delegate, Delegate. To who? You got to pay those people. We're a mom-and-pop and pop shop. Puck has dropped, by the way. We have goals. We have lofty goals. Natalie Drake, for a vibes boost, three reasons why you love the leaves. I mean, I just love the buds. A big reason why I love them is everyone else hates them. And so when they win, it feels really good.

In the same way that when the Leifs lose, and a lot of people are stoked on that, and they have a lot of schadenfreund, imagine how good I must feel when they actually win, when I know everyone wants them to lose. They're truly ridiculous. So I do love that about them. You want to talk about no normal night for the leaves. They don't have boring games. Whoa. Samson off at the save. 8:40 to go in the second. Max Domi chips it in. Leaves hold it in. They don't look dangerous. Now they do. Robertson! Rebound. Seroke and save. James Atkinson, Can SDPN not use the copyright fair use policy? So I've actually spoken to Jimmy, Jimmy Atkinson. Brian, a. K. A. John Boy, about this many times. There's a way he gets around it all, but then there's baseball versus hockey, there's Canadian law versus American law. Yeah, producer Drew just mutters. He goes, Canadian law is a lot stricter. Puck has dropped, by the way. 8:15 to go in the second period. Spiteful Gannon. No question, no nothing. It just says finger flick. Absolutely. Simone Benoit dumps it in. Tyler Bertuzzi. Lilligran kept it in momentarily.

Islanders play with a lot of speed, man. Okay, I think I see what you're saying about Samsonov and rebounds. That's a big stop, but you should have handled that a little easier than that. Nylander. Good job taking it by himself. He basically goes one on five against the Islanders so the least can get a change. He still has it, rips it high, but the Leifs get it back. Noah Gregor. Nice move on Horvat. Horvat takes it off him. Damn. Man, Gregor's so fast. He's big. No hands. Max Domi, he's got hands. Looking for a friend. Gives the buck to the point. Brodie rips it on. Leaps trying to get shots through traffic here on Sorokin. Good steal there. I think that's Robertson. Finds Reilly. Blocked. Robertson keeps it alive. Max Domi also keeps it alive. Gregor in there. This is a good third-line shift. Robertson hunts that puck down, gets rocked. Brodie on. Oh. Tipped. Leaps over 30 seconds in the Ozone there. That's a good little shift. Excuse me. Producer Drew saying, That is Bo Horvats' fifth career fight. In first fight in three years, you said? Wow. Is Patrickouin making a difference? I mean, it's Simone Benoît, who I know a lot of guys in this league maybe don't necessarily know about him just yet, taking a run at your star.

You know what I mean? You're literally your all-star representative. Maybe it's Patrickouin's influence, but That's probably a fight you should be taken anyway. Aris says, What would be the most satisfying path the least could take for the cup Like the four opponents they would face. The most satisfying path would be them winning four rounds. I know that's not what you asked, but I mean, you got to get Boston in there. They already beat Tampa. This is a good fourth-line shift while I'm rambling. Uh-oh, Holmberg. In front. Reeves. Oh, he almost scores. Just wide. Bobby McMahon almost had it, too. Lilligran. Oh, great shift. Fourth line is still out there. Holmberg, McMahon. Reeves is swapped off for Tavares, which is a crazy trade. Although Reeves almost scored. Boston. Sens? No. Yeah, that's a tough one. You know what's funny? Is that used to be an easier question to answer, but then they lost to everybody. It wasn't just Boston. Tyler Bertuzzi, two on two here. He's got Savardis with him, waits for reinforcements. Bang from Reilly. Oh. An Islander blocked that and they're down. Wallstrom? He's still out there. Looks very uncomfortable. He's uncomfortable. Oh, you know what?

The islanders eliminating the islanders on Long Island would be pretty incredible. Leifs into the zone. Shot. Gobbled up by Sorokin And we got a whistle. Where did Wallström get hit? Did he get hit in the arm? Here's another look at that. I don't think that Reeve's goal would have counted. It's probably a high stick because we got a commercial break here. The leaves come very close to Tina. Excuse me. Hello from Atlanta, says Matthew. Hockey fans exist in Georgia. I know. And this grown man will ugly cry if the thrashers actually return. Kevin Weeks has been tweeting illusions to Atlanta, getting an NHL team back for months and months now. So I know, well, obviously, Salt Lake has just been soft launched. Houston keeps getting brought up. There's no reason that Atlanta shouldn't be successful. Even if the hockey is not the most popular sport there, it's huge. I think it is valid that the thrashers sucked for so long. You know what I mean? No wonder hockey never took off. That organization stunk. And they got stars, too. Marion Hosa, Ilya Kovalchuk, Danny Heatley. Not all at the same time, I guess. But a team with Heatley and Kovalchuk, They looked like the next team.

You know what I mean? It just never happened. They drafted, obviously outside of those two. They generally drafted terribly. They're showing a replay of that Samson of double save. Oh, Wallström. They just showed a replay of his block. He looks okay. 3:28 to go in the second period here. That shot he blocked was 86.5 miles an hour. Puck has dropped. Leaps win it back. They have it at the point. Islanders bat it out of the zone. Samson off to T. J. Brodie off the boards. Matthew Nies, good job. Doesn't get the entry, though. Oh, Puck goes off the linesman there. And this has led to the Islanders gaining the leave zone. Marner gets it out, luckily. Oh, Kyle McClane, who scored, is Paul McClane's son, you think? Paul McClane, the coach with the giant mustache? Who used to be the Leifs, I want to say, eye in the sky coach. Oh, rebound! Oh, my goodness. How did that happen? Bolor, that stopped by Samsonov. Jake McCabe with it now. We can talk back and forth about is Samsonov having the best game? But he's given the Leifs a chance to win. Neylander to Tavares. To Bertuise to Neylander!

Oh, wide. Lillagrin. Oh, Neylander! Oh, blocked. Tavares to Neylander. Oh, stopped by Sorokin. Tavares again. Lilligren. John McClane's son, not Paul McClane? There's too many McClanes. Islanders Just flip it down the ice. Exhausted. Giordano up the boards. Bertuzzi. Gregor out there with Domi. Gregor fans on it. Oh, my God. He's got concrete mitts. Noah, you're killing me. Clutter Buck takes Jake McCabe into the boards. Islanders with a little bit of offensive zone possession now. They rip it on. Samson Nov grabs it. No rebound. Natalie Drake, Steve, you have fostered the best community. No, that would be the Care Bears. The Care Bears fostered a great community. I've only met lovely people at your events. Thanks for all you do for inclusion and belonging in hockey. What do you say? What do you say to that? It's just a really nice thing, and I appreciate it very much, Natalie. Jack McCabe gives chase. Good job eluding the check. Jack McCabe gives chase. Good job eluding the check. Max Stomi to Simone Benoit. It works. Robertson goes after the dump in. Here come the Islanders again with 40 seconds to go. T. J. Brodie with it behind his net, 30 seconds to go.

We will have more intermission entertainment, by the way. Click like, click subscribe. Tell all your friends. Here come the Islanders. Mini two on one here. Shot goes wide. Fortuitous bounce for Barzell. But here comes Matthews, two on three. He's got Tavares with him. Matthews tries to find Reilly, Marner's out there. Sheldon, what is you doing? And the second period comes to an end. The Leifs tie it up. Islanders get the lead right back off of Kyle McClane's first NHL point and goal. Someone said I should have... Or someone, producer Drew said, I should have said Yippie Kyé because it's John McClane's son. Drew, I don't think a lot of people are going to get that. When did that movie come out? I have to explain who Matt Sundina is on the show. That movie came out in '88. You know what else came out in '88? Me. That's old. Aaron W. Love the streams. John McClane is on on the bench as Islander's assistant coach. So, oh, John McClane is on the bench as the Islander's assistant coach. So we saw his son score his first goal as his coach. Oh, that's crazy. I thought I was...

It's difficult, right? You're screaming and everything during the stream. And I saw them going to the Coach, but I didn't hear what they said. That's crazy. That's cool. Sorry, I was just trying to look up some stats, but that is a feel-good moment. Sdpn says, People know Die Hard. Yeah, Old People. Old People. Natalie Drake says, I'm 24, and it's my favorite Christmas movie. Hell, yeah. You know what? Let's get to our intermission entertainment. What do we got? Oh, this clip is fun. I got to host a panel where it was just me talking to Julian McKenzie and Chris Johnston of the CJ Show, the Saturday of the All-Star Game. We were talking about the one thing that gets CJ worked out more than anything else, and that's the Toronto Bluejays. So we were talking about Shoi O'Tani and the fact that he did not become a Blue Jay. And if he had any moments like John Paul Morosi, where he screwed something up. So here's me talking to Julian McKenzie and Chris Johnston at the Rec Room for the Sdpn All-Star takeover. It's better to be right than first. What's the closest you've ever come to an O'Tani on the plane moment?

I want to know this.

Oh, man. What do you mean? A story that I was going to get wrong and I somehow didn't?

You're about to hit send on the tweet, and it didn't happen. It just doesn't happen. People were wrong about the Aginla Trade back in the day, for example. They were. Aaron Ward. You don't have an Aaron Ward moment.

No, but you can get away with it when you're a player, right? Aaron Ward has earned his spot on those panels because he played whatever, he won the Stanley Cup. I'm some dude from Coburg, man, that I'm only there not to be wrong about information as much as possible. I don't remember the worst one. Honestly, it's like you bury that stuff away because that's the stuff that would keep you up at night. I was wrong. This isn't even that big a deal, but I remember being gutted about it. When the pandemic hit and they were planning that 2020 tournament, I incorrectly reported that Vegas was going to be one of the cities. I had Toronto and Vegas, and I ended up obviously being Toronto and Edmonton. That's because it changed last minute. So it wasn't like that I was dead wrong, but I was... Anyway, whatever I wrote was wrong, and I hated that feeling. But that didn't change anyone's life, I don't think. No one spent two grand on a trip to Vegas because I did that.

I think the people still love you. Yeah. There you go. Now, I had an idea, and I'm going to put you to work, insider.Do.

You know what?What? I just thought of something because it's All-Star related. Probably my The biggest career screw-up happened at an All-Star game. It's not really the spirit of your question, but I just... I actually had a weird flashback to this last night. I don't know why. Someone was texting me about this night. The Columbus All-Star game... Have you been to Columbus, by the way?

I have, yes.

Very quaint, really nice, smallish downtown for a city. Underrated.

Yeah, no, it's great. Very underrated.

But there's nowhere to hide, right? It's not Toronto. When the All-Star Game comes there and you got, whatever, 25 players, their the agents, team officials, reporters, everybody was just in a play pen together the whole time. The night of the game, we went to this bar, I think it was called 23 or Red 23. All of a sudden, someone pulls back a curtain, just throws me in a very small room, as small as these rooms here, and it is all the players in one. I'm talking like, I've never been in... Obviously, we're around these guys socially, but Everybody was going crazy. Actually, John and Duran was there. I think they had a young stars portion of that at that time, and he literally just kept ordering beers to our table until the table was overfilled. He was just having fun with us, and we weren't saying no to his generosity. We were there to 5:00 AM. Anyway, I'm not going to... Because it's not a spot to... I don't want to put the spotlight on any particular NHL players, but it was wild. I was working at SportsCent at the time, and For anyone who's tried to fly to Columbus from Toronto, there are not many flights.

So Sportsight actually chartered a plane because so many behind the scenes people were on it. I didn't show up to the bus for the chartered plane.

A little heartbeat in the head?

Dude. I mean, not that I'm senior now, but I was a way more junior employee at this time. I was the fourth-line left winger holding up the charter bus, essentially, and the plane. A good friend, still a good friend to this day that works there, gives me a call, and I wake up and I'm like, Oh, my God, it's nine o'clock bus or whatever, and it's 9:12, and my clothes are all over my room. I just packed up, and I had to walk on the bus by all the bosses, and then we drive to the airport and people board the plane, and I'm like, Got to walk by all the bosses to my seat. I got a call from the big boss an hour after we landed. He's like, We really like you. You do You did a great job for us, but there won't be a second chance. If that happens again, you're done.

Cool, man.

Anyway, I don't know why I told that story, but I have not missed anything since.

Oh, my God. My wife was in the car for this one. A lot of people-Sorry if you just heard that story for the first time, dad. No, no, no. There's a question I get often asked, and that's, where Where did Hockey Night in cinema go? It was the live event that we used to do. We used to do before COVID in the before-time, in the long, long ago. It was really popular, and people loved it, and they showed up, and it stopped on a dime. The reason is because we were driving home from the one in London, and I got a call from my boss's, boss's, boss's, boss's, very bald boss.

Did you even have his number on your your phone, or was he such a big boss? It just shows up like 416.

For some reason, I had it. I think it's because I was doing the behind-the-scenes prep sheet for the whole company.

I don't have the president of TSN's number on my phone.

You don't?

No.

Well, I'll I'll send it to you after the show. It was basically, so it's called Hockey Night in Cinema, huh? They did not appreciate that one bit, and it was made very clear to me that may or may not be unemployed if we ever did another one. We've come up with some other names and other ideas, and we will try those instead. Hi. Steve Dangle here on the Sdpn YouTube channel, and we're streaming. Doing a little Monday night stream. Why not? Why not? The The first game, first leaf game, after the All-Star break, we got the Leifs hosting the New York Islanders. The Islanders are leading 2-1 after 2. Seroquen has been Pretty good. Leaps came alive there for a few moments, and they could definitely have more than one. Saroquen has been really good, and the Islanders are on the board, or they have the lead. They regained the lead because Kyle McClane scored his first NHL point and goal with his dad on the bench because he's an assistant coach, John McClane, with the New York Islanders. Isn't that lovely? Do we have any Kess Jones? 27. So apparently on the broadcast, they were talking about Bertuzzi has one goal in his last 27 games.

Someone tweeted me, Nielander hasn't had a point in seven of his last nine. It doesn't help that he played a great game, signed his contract, had another three-point night, and then I'm pretty sure he's gone seven of nine without a point. Listen, the season is always going to have ebbs and flows. You can't tell me those two things aren't related. I'm not saying he shut it off, but he certainly... There's no way he's trying as hard as he was. There's no way. You think he magically started to get unlucky at the exact moment he signed for generational wealth? No, he's not. Let's say he was in playoff mode all year to this point, and now he's just regular. He looks it. Now, tonight, he's looked fine. You're not going to score every damn game. But this guy was consistently top 5, top 10 in NHL scoring. Then he stopped scoring. I think that's relevant. Keep the questions coming. Warrior Wamp. Steve, Benoît is an RFA... Excuse me. He's RFA at the end of the season, what does his next contract look like? You know what? It's truly fascinating. Because what do guys like Simon Benoît get?

So last year with the Ducks, in 78 games, he had three goals, seven assists for 10 points, which is actually a torrid pace compared to what he's doing now. He's got one goal, one assist for two points in 33 games. But we all know that's not the value that he brings. The value that he brings is he blocks everything, he hits everything, he fights everything. I'd like it to be cheap, obviously, as cheap as possible, and multi-year. But You look at his ice time. Let's look this up. Should be able to look this up pretty easy. It's not just about the points, obviously, in the blocks and I mean, this guy's regularly playing top four minutes. So time on ice per game. He's 11th on the team. What? He's 11th on the team, but he's somehow behind Marcia or Dano? That's got to be from the beginning of the season, right? Okay, this is a really funny list. The list is, Reilly is number one, then T. J. Brodie, Mitch Marner, Austin Matthews, John Klingberg, Timothée. Jake McCabe, William Neylander, Timothée Lilliegrin. Timmins must have got hurt or something in the game because he's only playing six seconds more per game.

Sorry, Ben is actually tied, 15 minutes and 45 seconds per game with Connor Timmins. That's got to be going back to the beginning of the season when Keef wouldn't play him, basically. He's been pretty consistently in the top four, man. I'm just looking at his last five games, 20 minutes, 13 against Vancouver, nearly 17, a little over 15, nearly 19 minutes in that game against Winnipeg. That's a top four guy in this team. I would love to say under a million dollars, but it's tough to argue. Producer Drew with a question. Morgan Reilly has... Morgan Reilly actually has seven goals there, producer Drew. So wait, the Leaps have how many goals from the rest of their decore? Mekabe has four of them. Five total? No, that's fake news. Because Mekabe has four, Lilligran has two, Giordano has one, Benwa has one, Timmins has one. That's fake news. Fake. But he was saying, Is that a problem? There's no doubt that they have a lack of scoring from the back-end. No. I don't know. I mean, is it a problem? Yeah, you need more. But the long and short of it, and it's boring, it's boring.

I hate seeing the same thing over and over again. But it's just true. It's just true. The top four guys, the big four guys, have to do all the scoring. That's Why they make all the money? Well, Steve, they can't do that. I think you're starting to see the problem. I Gamma says, What package would it realistically take to land Tanev at this point? Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Nothing you want to deal. Let me look at what the last few trades were. Okay, look at it this way. The Habs just got a first. As far as I know, it's not a lottery protected first or nothing. Just a 2024 first from Winnipeg. For Sean Monahan, dude. Look at the King's Ransom that the flames got for Elias Lindholm. Dude hasn't even been playing that well. So producer Drew goes, explain the Tanaf stuff. Why does anyone even want this guy? So he's a right-handed shot. He's tough. He's defensively responsible. He can chip in a little. He's what What am I looking at? What's the word? He's a great leader. He's a great leader. He's very well-liked in the dressing room. And also, he's easily the best right-handed defenseman they've had since when.

Seriously, think about that. Who's been a better right-handed defenseman for the Toronto May police? When was the Last one. Luke Shen? No. Tyson Berry? No. Klingberg? No. Ilyya Labushkin? Timothy Lilligren, definitely not. You think Timothy Lilligren is better than Tanev, Drew? You're a bum. But why are you a Tanev hater? Puck has dropped, by the way, in the third period. We're 10 seconds in. I was so thrown off by Drew being wrong. No adoption. No adoption. Oh, Romanov taken down. Willy going two on one. Good job on Pajot. Just knee-lander is just totally alone there. Matthew Nies. In front for Matthews! Off the post. Everyone thought it went in. Did it hit? Okay, we might get the horn. The play is continuing. Matthews. Did it hit? Okay, we might get the horn. The play is continuing. Matthews. Did it hit? Spin. Pass, pass. Shoot from Reilly, high and wide. Marner buzzing. Matthews tries to go between the legs. Here come the Islanders. Whoa! Marner steps up on his man, almost creates a turnover there. Marner's look great tonight, I got to say. We're going to get a replay of that Matthew's chance, and it's going to be very upsetting.

Nova says, Drew exists to be difficult, I swear. You're not wrong. Noah Gregor, here he comes. He just does not know how to handle the fuck, Robertson, back to the point. Bam! The Leaps have just gotten unlucky with the deflections tonight. They have a thing they're going for. They're trying to create traffic and get a deflection and it's not working. Let's see that Matthew's chance. It doesn't cross the line. It hits everything. It hits a left post crossbar, and it might have hit the right post as well. Look, ding, ding, ding. It hit all three posts. Shut up. Oh, that hurts. 18:01 to go in the second. Face off in the Islander zone. Puck has dropped. Neylander finds Tim. Stopped. Leaves buzzing to start the third. Bertuzzi gets it for Tavares. Islanders out with it. This has been a really good game. Neylander going into the corner for it. I know I just carved him for being pointless for so long, but he's actually had a pretty good night. Islanders dump it and go for a change. That's a niche reference. Someone goes, Drew's eating all the turkey and beets. Pontus Holmberg, three minutes into the third.

I don't know if he went offside there. Oh, okay. They whistle it dead, and we will get a face-off. Does the fourth come off the ice? It doesn't look like it. Apparently, Carlo Koliakovo tweeted that Pierre Ingvall got a video tribute, and no one clapped. So I wonder if that has anything to do with getting drafted by the team. He won a Calder Cup with the team or the organization, rather. Reeves did not look comfortable there. Reeves potentially injured. Here come the Islanders. 16, 20 to go. Oh, man, Matthew Nye's. You really He really feels like he's on the verge of something. He'll figure this league out. It's just it's tough as a rookie on the top line, right? Marner digging in the corner. I think that's Nijs like a battering ram. Matthews Clawing at the buck. Jake McCabe trying to hold the line doesn't work, and here come the Islanders. Oh, that was almost dangerous there. Oh, might still be. Shot. Wide. Noah Dobson into the corner for Horvat. He doesn't get it. Marner. Oh, great patience. Nice touch to Matthews. Jake McCabe saying he got high-sticked. No call. Barzal, in front for Dobson.

Errant pass, though. Neylander really playing like a Banshe here in the third period. Mccabe tries to rugby the thing over the line, and it worked. Created He made it the turnover anyway. Benwa up the ice for Bertuzzi. It'd be nice if you scored, eh? Holy. This line hasn't even had a bad night. It's just like, Convert, bro. Convert. Leaves ringing around, but at least they keep possession. Brody. Hard around the boards for Tavares. Neylander. Oh, tries to find a friend? Doesn't. Islanders chipping in. Islander is playing a little bit of deadpuck era hockey right now. Neylander. Bust through. Can't do anything with it. Turns it over. Here come the Islanders. Wallstrom. Taken off the buck by Giordano. Bertuzzi. You got to get that, bud. He gets it for Max Domi. Here he comes. Lots of speed. He's going to get around his man. Oh, what a move. In front! Doesn't find anybody. Do something with that, Max. Leaps back up the ice. Robertson tries to leave it for Domi. It doesn't work. Here come the Islanders, partial three on two. Good Good job by Benwa. Good job by Robertson. I know they're losing. I got to say this is a good game.

In front, in front, in front, in front, in front. In front! Leaps avoid the worst of it there. Golefs go says, Why don't you show the games anymore? It's because it don't work for Sportsnet anymore. They own the rights to the footage. I cannot use the footage. I Do not want to get sued. Islanders. Oh, Horvat just wide in the net. Fourth line out there again. Reeves out there, so I guess he's not too worse for wear. Holmberg gets the puck stripped off him by Barzal. You got to have more awareness there, kid. Also, how about your coach doesn't put you out there against Matthew Barzal? Stopped by Samson on with 13:07 to go in the third. Andrews Lee getting stopped there by Samson off. Domi. They're showing that... No one was there. And producer Drew is saying he should have just wrapped it in, like that's an empty net. Sometimes it feels like Domi is the smartest guy in the ice. Other times, it feels like he's the most clueless guy in the ice. He's a really frustrating player. Like, Elliott Friedmann was steadfast at the beginning of the season that Max Domi wants to be a leaf long term.

And he signed for three million bucks, which is fine. It's not bad. He's got 24 points in 47 games, which is fine. Okay, look at this. He had three goals in the playoff with Dallas, three goals in 19 games. That's fine. Another 10 assists, 13 points in 19 games. And that's in the playoff. That's fine. That's fine. In the regular season, he's got six goals in his last 67 games. He had 18 goals in 60 games with the Blackhawks last season. I assume playing first or second line because they sucked. He goes to Dallas, and in a depth roll, this guy can't score. I know he's a playmaker primarily, but last year, he had 20 goals. He's got a 28 goal season under his belt. Where'd it go? Shoot the puck. I don't think he forgot. Just shoot it. Xander, which Leifs alumni would you add behind the bench? Well, as we've seen with the Ottawa senators, that doesn't always work. Puck has dropped. Leaves top line on the ice in the D zone. Pears or Drew just said something very mean about with both Ontario teams. I wonder if Allan McAulay would go for it.

I know he's still working in hockey. Every now and then, I see him around. I wonder if he would ever get into it. Marner. Oh, in front for Matthews, who keeps it alive. Oh, the silky mitts. Can you give one of your gloves to Gregor? Oh, Matthews knocked down, tries to throw it in front. Engvall is taking it out for the Islanders. He'll chip it in. Sammie, poised play there. Morgan Reilly hits the Breaks. Gives it to T. J. Brodie, into the neutral zone for Nylander, can't find his linemate. But here comes Mark Giordano with it. To Nylander. Misses. Excuse me. Leaps behind the net. Tavares going for the thing. Bertuzzi going for the thing. Giordano tries to keep it alive. His stick shatters. And the Islanders are going to try to take advantage of this. But Tyler Bertuzzi, oh, good job. You're offside right now. You're offside, you're offside. Get out. Here come the Islanders. Under 11:30 to go here in the third. Still a 2-1 Islanders lead. Benwa takes his man into the boards. That was McClane. Here comes Noah Gregor. I think every time the fuck is on his stick, the Islanders are stoked.

It's a lot of turnovers tonight. It's really starting to get on my nerves. Leaps have it in the offensive zone, so that's good. Maybe it wasn't all for none. Here's Robertson! Stopped by Sorokin. Good. Get a shot on goal for crying out loud. Question in the chat. Will the Leifs tie it? I say yes. 1975, Jadonow says, Steve, last good right-handed defenseman for the Leaps was Tim Horton. Shots are 2-2 through 10 minutes. Puck has dropped. Matthew's going after it. I got to tell you, I'm not hating the Leaps' effort in this one. This is one of those weird games where they might lose, and I might also not be mad, which is the worst. Oh, Austin robbed by Saroque and great feed from Nye's. Now, here come the islanders the other way. Barzal, nifty move. Turned over to Niz. Matthews gets it out. This line wants to change, though. Matthews long past the McCabe, who's going to have to take it himself for a while. Whoa! Reeves with a big hit. I think that was on Anders Lee. Bobby McMahon tries to create the turnover there. Reeves digging for it. Oh, Reeves Reeves takes another run.

I didn't like his penalty earlier, but Reeves looks like Ryan Reeves, at very least, for crying out loud. The way he did in the first two games of the season. After that, he was just some random man who took a minus every night. It was weird. Benwa is stick breaks for crying out loud. Get these guys new sticks. Benoît gets called for the hand pass there. He shouldn't have touched Marner threw a hit on Barzal. Chipping at Barzal, too. All-star weekend's over, eh? Jadana, once again. Last good right-handed defenseman was Timmy Horton. You know what's funny? I'm like, No. And now I'm trying to think. You got to go back to... I don't know. You wouldn't even put Pavel Khabina on the list. Dimitri Yushgevitch. He shot right, didn't he? Dimitri Yushgevitch. Yes, he did. Okay. Okay. Maybe Yuskievitch? Brian Leach, someone saying? Okay, so here, let me tell you about Brian Leach, kids. This is really frustrating. So the Leaps got him in a trade, one of the weird trades that they didn't actually really have to pay that much for. Here it is. Traded from the New York Rangers with a fourth-round pick in the 2004 draft to the Toronto Maple Leaps for Maxim Kondratiev, Yarko Imanin.

And first round pick in the 2004 draft, Chris Chucko. And picking round two of the 2005 draft, and it doesn't even say who that was. The Leaps had him for a year, and then an additional year on top of that. The additional All year was the '04, '05 lockout. So his contract simply expired, and he signed with the Boston Bruins. Puck is dropped. 9:20 to go here in the third period. Leaps down 2:1 to the Islanders. I think Kevin in the chat said, How are the Leaps playing? Honestly, I like their game tonight. I like the Islanders game, too. This has been chipping. The Islanders have really not given the Leaps much space. The Leaps have done a pretty good job trying to find it. Islanders falling all over Tyler Bertuzzi right there, and they'll dump it in. The Islanders have just been dumping it in all period. As producer Drew said, not a whole lot of shots on goal in this period. The Leaps have had the lion's share of the park, but they haven't been able to generate much. With it, oh, no. Sam Kribsonov covers it up. What happened there? Turnover. Neylander trying to battle through.

This is a whistle. Is that a hand pass? High stick. Natalie says, Who might be a comparable for what Nye's can be? Okay, this is going to sound like an insult. Josh Anderson person, but what we thought he was going to be. Not what he is now, like the dude who flirted with 30 goals in Columbus. That's high praise. Producer Drew says, Gabriel Landeskog, if he puts on some more meat. Puck has dropped. Yeah, I'll take Landeskog. Can I take 60 % of Landeskog? Luke Jacobs says, Rodic Foxa. Andrew Brewer says, Jonas Hoegelen. How dare you? How dare you? Rick Nash, that'd be nice. We're all just trying to think of big players who were good. 8:24 to go in the third. Puck has dropped. Just say Columbus, Josh Anderson, then. You're right. Aaron Bennett says, Should I sell high on my nice young gun or keep it? Keep it on account of you're not selling high. He has eight goals. Hold it. Richard says, 60 % of Landiscag is current Landiscag. That's mean. Face off in the leave zone, and they lose it. Barzal with it being chased. Islanders, they go offside. Someone said, Tyler Biggs, how dare you?

Under eight minutes to go now. Leef still looking for a goal to tie it here. They really have not looked bad. Morgan Reilly. Yeah, not a great pass to Matthew Nyees. They hold on to it, though. They keep almost losing it, but he still got it. Being tailed by Barzal, tries to drive the net. It doesn't work. Nylander out there with Matthews and Nies. Interesting, interesting. He has looked great tonight. I think Marner has, too. I think this is just Sheldon Keef trying to get some different looks. Here comes to Varis now, I imagine, with Marner, and would it be Bertuzzi? Nylander He's still out there, and he doesn't appear to be looking for a change. Okay. Lilligren, who I have not seen a ton of tonight, dumps it in. Maybe we just saw a wonky line change. Jake McCabe. Under seven minutes to go here. This clock is really ticking quickly. Neylander, looking for a lane, finds his way in, and... Oh, no, he hasn't lost it yet. Tries to find a friend, doesn't yet. Benoît, Neylander. His third line's on the ice now. I don't want to pick on the guy. Noah Gregor has not looked good.

But yeah, okay, he's fast. You got to do something with the nick Robertson has it, tries to center it for Domi, doesn't get through. Brodie keeps it in. Robertson. Shot! Noah Gregor almost dies it. That would have been awesome. Thank you, Doug the leaf fan. Oh, Max Domi getting into it with someone. It's weird, he doesn't handle the puck very well, but he can shoot Gregor. Kyle Paulmery and Max told me going on. Producer Drew said, At the Olympics, would Sroken start over Vasilevski right now? I'm going to say no, because all international hockey programs are very political, and the Russian one might be the most political. Matthews loses the Ozone draw. Holmberg is out there with Matthews and Marner? Is that what I'm seeing? Yeah. Oh, Islanders hit the post. Oh, we're going to get a penalty, and it's going to go against the Islanders. And I think Holmberg is the one who drew it. Wallström looks hurt, too, at center rise. What happened there? So let's have a look. Oh, yeah, that's a pick for sure. I mean, if you're going to call the one from earlier, that's definitely one. So Pontes Holmberg spends about 50 15 seconds up there on the top line, and he draws a power play that could tie the game for the Leaps.

Robert Malloy, reminding me of the 10-second show and tell. We'll have to bring that back next stream. I forgot all about that. At some point during the stream, someone just goes, You have 10 10 seconds to find something in your room and tell a story about it. I run around and I try to find something, and then I tell a story about it. Steve Mayfield for Lilligran. Yeah, I'd do it. One guy hasn't established himself at all, and the other guy is a new guy. I don't know. Michael O'Connor, do you pull the goalie here? No, but Patrick Wawwood. Should I sell high on my stove dingle, young guns? No, he's just getting started. Commander Clueless, first game back from the break, and Sheldon is already in full brand mode. You're absolutely right. Black Tucks said, Testing to see if I can send super chats. Yes, you can. The leaves are currently plus 350? Where? Or are we not going to say? We're not going to say. Spenny. What do you think of Nye? Is he over hypes? No. I don't. 5:40 to go in the third. The power play is about to begin. Puck has dropped.

I don't think he's overhyped. He maybe was before the season began, but I think expectations have adjusted pretty reasonably with him. Tavares. He keeps it alive. Matthew's to the point. Neylander bang from Tavares into the corner. Oh, leaves keep it alive. Oh, come on. Marner saying he was hooked in his hands, and it looked like it. Leaps need to gain the zone again here. Matthews Tavares. Matthews. Matthews taken down by Clutter Buck there. Seroquen covers it up for the whistle. That guy just nodded at Matthews. That's hilarious. Here, let's see Marner. Right in the hands. Yeah, he's not wrong. Who was that? Pelik? It might have got all stick. I don't know. But 1:15 to go in this power play, 4:55 to go in the third. Leaps win the face-off. Neylander. Reilly. I think it was Tavares, judging by his reaction. There are a couple of deflections in front, and the Leaps tie it up. Top line, Pontus Holmberg. Like I said, he was up on the top line for 10, 15 seconds. He draws a penalty. The leaves get a power play, and they tie the game with less than five minutes to go.

Reilly puts it on. Tavares gets it. Did Matthews get a piece of it, too? Let's see. Let's see. Leaps working it around really well. No, it was Tavares for sure. I don't know if Matthews got it. It doesn't matter. The Lefs scored. Guy Bouchet with a big pat on the back for Tavares, his sixth power play goal of the season, and the fuck has dropped. Under five minutes to go here. Matthew Nye is back Up there on the top line with Matthews and Marner. Leifs, whoa. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. They try it again. Sorokin gobbels it up. Spani V-Dub said, Agreed. Let's just say he will be a leaf for a long time and be happy. Yeah, man. I was about to say he could score 20 goals next season. He still hasn't It's going to hit 10 this year. You know what I mean? Puck has dropped. 4:35 to go here in the third. Leaps definitely going to their strategy that worked really well for them against Tampa. Lots of shots from the point, looking for deflection. Leaps might be offside right now. Nijs is going for it anyway. It doesn't matter because the Islanders break out of their own zone.

Barzal so fast. Whoa! Samsonov was not expecting that shot. He made the save, though. That would have been bad. That would have been bad. Neilander picking up a point, by the way, on that power play goal. Might as well mention that since I was given him such a hard time earlier. Also, he's on my fantasy team. Reilly got an assist on that, too. Also on my fantasy team. Oh, boy. Turnover behind the leaf net. Tyler Bertuzzi. Oh, yeah. Doing a great job to break that up. Islander, stick with it, though. Oh, rebound. Oh, they whiff. They're working it around. Where is it? Samsonov has it. Whistle. Crab people. Crab people. Taste like crab. Talk like people. Crab people. Leef's now favored? Hope you bet. Jesse, come back. That guy knows. 3-24 to go in the third. Shots are now a little bit more lively, 8 to 5 for the lead. Shot attempts dead even at 63-63. Matthews in the D zone, loses the scramble draw. Puck Not to the point. Islanders working it around, going for some funny bounces off the boards. Carlton, the Bear, going up the stairs. These two teams have been all over each other tonight, really tight-checking hockey.

This is not a, Hey, we just got back from the All-Star break. Let's all work off our hangovers type of game. These guys have been absolutely all over each other. Matthews to Max Domi, Noah Gregor out there. Is Matthews maybe being double-shifted here? Oh, line has been taken down pretty hard. Spenny says, Have you been keeping up with Liverpool? You'll never walk alone. Excuse me. I have been a little because my father-in-law has completely indoctrinated my son, and he got him to say Chelsea's stinky, and my brother-in-law is very upset about it. Two 2:20 to go in the third period. Reilly tries to go up the boards. A bit of a turnover. Oh, one Timer for Paul Meyari. He whiffs on it. Oh, the Islander score off a rebound, and it's Pierre Rengvall. You got to be kidding. You got to be joking. No. That's a horrible turnover. Brodie to Reilly, up the boards to no one. Brock Nelson turns it over. And then, Reilly just completely loses Aengvall. Morgan's been so good this season. That's terrible. That's terrible. Yeah, Aengvall goes five hole on Sammie, but get a clue and help out your goalie.

He's given them a chance to win in this game. Now, they got 2:02 to tie this thing. Puck has dropped. Neelander out there with Tavares and Matthews. Leaps turned it over again in almost the exact same way. And they're going to have to pull Sammie like toot sweet. Leaps gained the zone. Tavares shoots high and wide. Where did that go? Matthews in front for Tavares. Knocked down. I can't believe these clowns, dude. Aengvall? His sixth goal of the season. Aengvall? Matthews gains the zone. Tavares. On, again high. We'll get a face-off with a buck 20 to go in the third period. Pierre Aengvall? Pierre Aengvall? Never. Not for a moment, not for an hour, not for a minute, not for a second, not for a nanosecond. Was it in doubt? Oh, my Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Dan Kaufman goes, I get the sense Steve is upset it was engvall. I mean, for as tight a game as this has been, it hasn't been tied for very long. The Leaps have two goals here, and the Islanders have scored pretty soon after both of them. Puck in the offensive zone, a buck 20 to go in the third.

Tavares, Ozone draw, loses it. Matthews tries to steal the puck back. He does. It's in a battle there in the corner. Matthews is basically off his feet right now. Tavares, still loose, still loose, still loose. Bang. Where is it? Seroke and gobbles it up above Puck, 0-4 to go in the third. Someone said, Nijs could be Pierre Ingvall. A frustrating big guy who never does anything with how big he is. Nijs has more goals than Ingvall. I know we're all mad right now, but come on. Leo has a great team to cheer for, at least. Absolutely. Puck has dropped. Last minute of play in the third period. Tavares keeps it alive. In front for Matthews, partially blocked. Into the corner. Tavares with it again. Honestly, he's had a good game. Neelander. Oh, Tim! Oh, where is it? Marner. Neelander? I thought he was going to shoot it. Marner. Bertuzzi. I'm amazed Bertuzzi's out there, to be totally honest. Under 40 seconds to go. Put the buck on. Put the buck on. Now. Shoot. They shot. Rebound. Marner. Point. Neylander. Matthew's Looking for the one-timer. Throws in front of a Reilly skate. Thirteen seconds to go.

Mix in a shot, eh? Mix in a shot! Shoot! Reilly, stop by Sorokin. Rebound. Islanders will clear it And that's the game. Pierre freaking Envall. Oh, and there's a line brawl. Whoa. What happened there? Yeah, seriously, there was five fights taking place before the camera even went there. Is Patrick Wauw going to fight Sheldon Keefe? You have to ask. Clutterbot cross-check someone? Oh, he cross-checked John Tavares, former teammates. And then he does it again. Yeah, Tavares whacked him pretty good in retaliation. And the Islanders, another one goal win over the Leifs. And as Jesse Blake puts it in the chat, that's a bad loss. You know what? They played pretty well, but you're so the Lefs. This is not for the first time this season, not for the first time in recent a game where the Lefs played well, and they failed in the moments. He's generally been good, so I don't know how hard I'm going to hammer him in the LFR. But that's Morgan Reilly playing his worst shift of the game with two minutes to go, and it cost him the game. You blew it. You blew it. Great game. I'm sure you busted your ass.

You blew it. To Pierre Ingvall. Pierre Ingvall. Chris says, Don't overreact. I'll think about it. Well, should we wrap it here? Got an LFR to shoot and some more leaves angst to process. Producer Drew says, Over under 30 minute LFR tonight. I'm going to put under There are not a lot of unders. Chaka YouTube says, 0-3 versus the aisles this year. Yeah. Yeah. You can't be going 0-3 against a team that's not even in the playoffs. Damn. Steve, have some kombucha. Sincerely, John Tavares. The least are victims of take your kid to work day. I think you're trying say the islanders are their father. Boo. Damn it. All right. That is it for this one. Thank you very much for watching. Click like, if you like this stream.
