[Music] Raise me up. I see my way for love. [Music] Raise me up and see my worthy [Applause] Usually I begin these streams, these Saturday night streams screaming Yes, multiple times. Three, in fact, because I’m excited to be here. I’m excited to watch the Leafs and I’m excited to watch hockey night in Canada. And folks, I pulled out all the stops. Been eating right, been exercising. I had a nap today. I had an espresso 45 minutes ago. 45 minutes is the that’s that’s the perfect amount of time usually before I play a sport or before I shoot something. I like to have a little caffeine 45 minutes ahead of time. Kicks in nice and good. I gotta tell you, I feel nothing. I am thrilled that you are here. I’m thrilled to have fun with you and we’re going to have a very interesting night. But the Leafs, I’m sick of this. You should be sick of this and this should be over. And if they lose tonight, I’m telling you, it’s over. Someone’s getting fired. Does it shock me that the Leafs are the favorites? Asked producer Drew. Yes, because this stream, by the way, brought to you by Balbet Sportsbooking Casino currently has the Leafs as the favorite over the Pittsburgh Penguins. So, if you’re a Leafs hater, that might be one that you want to consider. But the way they’ve played, the results they’ve gotten, the multiple multi-million dollar players as a healthy scratch every night. Uncle, enough. Steve, are you in? I am out. Look at this nonsense. David Alter Ny Matthews doy is the top line. What a cool life. First line right wing. Healthy scratch. First line right wing. Cowan Tavvaris Knander. What happened? Willie didn’t play yesterday. They said he would. He didn’t. He’s back now. Okay. I feel connected to the team. Thank you for keeping me up to date. Toronto Maple Leafs. Dakota Joshua, Nick Wah, Bobby McMahon, check the hell out of your opponent or I don’t care. You exist. Lorren Lton Robertson. That could be an interesting line. It’s dangerously close to being a junk drawer line where it’s like, eh, you just throw in whoever. It could be interesting. Riley Oel as the first pair. I don’t hate that. McCabe Stetcher. Oh, Mermis Meyers. Oof. Marone because Ben Woah is away for something personal. And Dennis Hillbe is starting. They lose this game, someone has to get fired. They win this game, someone has to get fired. Fire someone for making us watch the hog [ __ ] that we have been watching so far this season. Penguins lines. Thank you, Drew. Kevin Hayes, Sydney Crosby, Brian Rust, Tommy Novak of Guinea, Malikin, Anthony Mantha, Danton Heinen, Ben Kindle, uh, Viluvenin, Kovenan, sorry, and Yuno Copenin, Blake Lazot, and Connor Der. So, how many former Leafs we got there? I got uh just one just one. So the Leafs are only down one- nothing on D. Ryan Sheay, Chris Latang, Parker Weatherspoon, Eric Carlson, Ryan Graves, Matt Dumba. Usually I would see a decor like that in a bottom six like that and be like Leafs are feasting. Graves Dumbas a good third pair. Drew, shut up. I mean, you did see Graves. You did see Graves win a cup. Oh, he wasn’t on the team. Never mind. By the way, donate to my Movember page, please. I jelled it just for you. Uh, let me get to the chat. Melon Bacher, uh, welcome to SDP VIP. Uh, Cassie, got the pens game on my TV. Steve on my computer and the chat on my phone. All is as it should be and I am ready for the pens to ruin my weekend. Well, I think you’re going to be disappointed, Cassie. Uh, hi Steve. Spreading some ABS cheer. I remember 1617. Oh, [ __ ] So do I. Also, I feel bad because I am going to all four bobblehead games this year. What’s wrong with your organization? All the love from Colorado, Heather. They stopped trying years ago and they don’t know how to turn it back on. No, the Leafs do not have bobblehead nights. Drew didn’t even know that. The Marlies do sometimes because they have to try for fans. Uh the Leafs don’t they don’t care about you. Uh they resent you in fact and have publicly cited you as a reason for why they lose. Uh Heather the Aves fan, thank you for 20 STP memberships. Gracias. Just popping in to let you know the last LFR was featured on Penn’s radio pregame show. Colobby Armstrong and Paul Stigerwald enjoyed it. That’s hilarious. I did not know that. Rocket man, uh, putting up the Christmas tree and enjoying my Saturday night. Hoping the Leafs, uh, pull through for Leafs Nation tonight. They won’t. Um, I put up the Christmas tree today. It is still November. Since moving in with my wife in 2014, that is definitely the earliest we have ever put it up. and I love it. Uh, Leech will win 7-1 just to keep this crap going. Lease full rebuild. I’ve given up on Matthews, too. So, I’m not one of the Leafs fans who’s given up on Matthews. So, if you’ve listened to this tonight and gone, gosh, Steve is so negative, just know that half the fan base is feeling worse than I do. Steve, buddy, you got to keep the stash post November. Keep it, embrace it, and re reglow your glorious Italian beard as well. H, it’s just going to be the beard, my friend. I miss having a chin. France Walabel, hope this game goes better than the Habs uh getting shellacked by the Avalanche in their Nordiks jersey 72. Uh, all NHL franchise’s youngest scorer in team history is a teenager except for one team. Name that team. The Canadians. That makes sense, right? I’m going to say the Canadians. It’s wrong. What is the answer? Oh, the Vegas Golden Knights. their youngest goal scorer. Well, it’s not Suzuki. Youngest goal scorer. Vegas Golden Knights. Oh, they’re 20. I’m going to go with someone like Brendan Bisson, Cody Glass. Nah, I should have had that one. Abs fan here. Love you, Steve. Stay strong, bud. I am strong. I would have made a tough decision weeks ago. This team is asleep at the wheel. Hu watching Survivor Series and John Cena’s second last match. Why not after the Oilers game uh on December 13th do a stream of his final match with you, Adam Jesse? Uh John Cena wasn’t really my guy. I’m a little too old. Is that Sacrilege? I did see his like first match on Raw against um Angle. That was freaking awesome. Yeah. True. Kathy Lawson, thank memberships. Sorry, Steve. I donated to uh getting STP VIP yesterday was the best season I have ever made. Food tastes better. My parents started talking to me. Girls noticed me. And most importantly, I got a fourth podcast every week. Thank you, Evan. Let’s hope for a W tonight. Says Magic Mudkips. And we are about to drop the puck in Pittsburgh. Super Surfer Silver. Welcome. Welcome. Matthews for the opening draw against Sydney Crosby. Puck is dropped. Penguins win that one. Expect the unexpected tonight. Steuart Skinner just got a shut out. Anything is possible. Dude, he’s got like three on the season. It’s crazy. Ster in his own end. McCabe up the ice. Nice chips it in. Nice in front to do. He’s blocked. Decent look. I think most people disliked John Cena because he was like super face. John Cena was Roman Reigns before Roman Reigns. Derogatory Latang in his own end behind the Leaf’s end. Now they let the puck go. Crazy amount of time and space at the point. Shot on hill to be and he makes a save. Covered up. Let’s start this off the right way. Sadine Magic. I don’t even know if I can muster it. I I don’t feel it. Let’s go. Ah, I’m forcing it. Too bad we couldn’t trade coaches and GMs like players, right? Hey, at least you can watch Crosby tonight. At least there is that. Riley in his own end. Latang connects with Malin. You cannot trade a coach in the end. Uh, maybe I’ve never seen it done in front. Oh, Mantha whiffs on it. Point blank. Oel chipped in by Cowan. Your stash is Lanny McDonald Jr. You’ve done it. Oh, Super Jr. Ben Kindle who humbled the Leafs earlier this season. Chips it in. Mermis around for Meyers. Meyers. Mermis. Wah fired on from the point from Pittsburgh. Joshua gets it out without possession. Two minutes gone here in the first period. Steve, remember when when we uh wished we weren’t dubious managing the Pens? Good short times. Yeah, man. You know, the Penguins are stewards of Sydney Crosby, and that’s why I’ve wanted them to either get good or trade him. The Leafs are stewards of Austin Matthews. And I know Matthews is not Sydney Crosby, but he has two 60 goal seasons, so it sure feels like the Leafs are wasting a special player. Everyone thinks it’s the player who’s not special anymore. Why are you doing that? Leafs offside because Scott Lton hit a guy who didn’t have the puck. All right. The Broncos acquired a first and second round pick for a coach in a trade. They traded a first and a second round pick for a coach. That’s so random. deep into the leave zone. Is that ice? It is not. Oel absorbs a hit. Nice. Breaks out, chips it in for himself. Battling Eric Carlson. Doing pretty well is Eric. Matthews stops the exit. Doi gets it deep. Nice to Matthews. Matthews is hit and bear hugged. The Leafs may never be on the power play ever again. Morgan Riley through the zone. Knander. This is looking interesting. McCabe McCabe behind the net for Cowan. All right, Stetcher in the neutral zone. Giveaway in the neutral zone. They get out of that without a shot attempt. Here come the Penguins. There’s so many games left. Four minutes gone in the first. Pens gay in the zone. Stop up. Blocked by Mermis. I don’t hate Mermis. He bust his ass. Icing against the Leafs. Hey Steve, love you, but at what point does your apathy turn into hope for the Leafs uh to keep losing and potentially get Gavin? Where is Gavin? We’re getting there. Chase Kirby, I’m a Habs fan, but every time I watch the Pens and Leafs game in Pittsburgh, I recall Casemir Casky School’s debut where he got torched 6 nothing. That was the second last game Mike Babcock ever coached. If I’m not mistaken, that’s when the Leafs made the decision to gas him. Leafs still do not have a shot. Thank you for pointing that out, Drew. Sorry if I can help you with that. It’s cuz they’re a terrible hockey team. Malin shoots. Stopped by Hill to be 1513 to go in the first. Oh, when are they going to get their first shot? Give it another six minutes. Uh hopefully someday soon we can ask you for a hoya. I can’t even I can’t. The hoes are not yaying. Oh man, I could have put that different. Fired from the point. Blocked. Doesn’t get it deep. Blocked by Riley. Iced. Man, these guys stink. 1458 to go in the first. It’ll be interesting to see if these guys can give me a pulse tonight. Wah to take the face off in his own end. Malcolin wins it. Malcolin into the glove of Hildabby. In 1997, the New York Rangers acquired coach Michelle Berseron from the Quebec Nordics in exchange for a firstround draft pick in cash. Holy cow, there’s a trade tree. What do I think the lease could get for Bub? Not much right now. Would getting the fifth overall pick uh this off season and giving an unprotected first to Boston next year terrify you? Yes. Oel battling Riley up the ice. Can’t connect the pass. Not icing. Just no pressure. Here come the Penguins. Deflected and it’s down the ice. See touches the puck for the first time. Wasn’t a shot. He just played it. Six minutes gone in the first period. Hill to be out of the net. Carlson in his own end. Leafs would get 25 cents and a half eaten hot dog for Barup. Maybe. Why so much? Stcher. Good battle to McCabe. Stcher hard around. Doiy’s not there. McCabe behind his net. Leafs get out of their end. Nice up the ice. Nice cross ice for Oel. Cowan going to the net. Cowan. Oel scores on the Leaf’s first shot on goal of the game. 1314 into the first period, the Leafs take the lead. Ah. Ah. One of the few bright spots on the Leafs this season continues to get brighter. Oel with authority there. Nice. Great battle to keep the puck alive. Oel in open space. Can’t find Cowan. Finds his own rebound and buries it. I wonder if they’re going to mark this as o uh unassisted. Is off the skate at 28 there. Leafs take the one- nothing lead early here in Pittsburgh. I know. O’s is awesome, man. O’s is awesome. This This year has definitely been a throwback for him. Go leaves go chant in Pittsburgh. Ah, they’re pointing out on the broadcast probably a lot of people in town for the Leafs and Bills. Leafs up the ice. Knander trying to take it off. Novak Wah W after it. He’s got Willie back there with him. W threeon one. Whoa. Dakota Joshua with a big hit. Penguins get it out. Oh, he laid into his man. Clean as a whistle, too. And the Leafs will take a penalty. The Leafs minus 190 to win at Ballet Bet Sports Booking Casino. Penn’s 148. Who’s 24? The Penguins have a lot of new names. Oh, that’s a horrible call on Mermis. Malcolin held on to the stick. Listen, NHL, the Leafs are bad this year. You don’t need to also match fix. They You see what they saw? They Isn’t it weird that they always see it? They always see it when it’s Toronto, but the league’s rigged in the Leaf’s favor. Don’t forget th this team that hasn’t been in the top half of the NHL for uh power play opportunities in the entire Matthews era. No, no, no, no. Things are rigged in their favor. Here it is. Here’s the blood going. Here’s the blood going. Where’s power play opportunities? This website sucks. Penalties. Power play. Where’s PP up? Oh my god, I hate the NHL’s website. Oh, sorry I asked. Stupid thing. Uh, commenting live from PPG Paints Arena says, “Nate, I am so prepared to watch Young Leafs fans break into tears again.” Cool. Uh, Kristen Medina, welcome to SDP VIP. Dan Patrick. Hey Steve, with 58 games left and 34 wins needed to get to the Magic 90 points, should we mail it in? Dude, the East sucks this year, which is part of what’s making me more upset about how mid the Leafs have been. Like, you really don’t even need to be that good to be in a playoff spot right now. Penguins win the faceoff to open the power play. Pass broken up. Oh. Oh my god. Nailed out a midair. And Ben Kindle has his third goal against the Leafs this season. Almost immediately. What the hell happened there? Scott Lton breaks the pass up. Things look like they’re going okay. Puck ends up in the air. He and he just swats at it and it’s in. He just like just recklessly swap uh swats at it. And that that’ll be a good goal. I don’t think it’s a high stick. Illgotten goods. That was a shitty call from a shitty ref in a shitty league. 1146 to go in the first. Yeah, that is I mean that is how I really feel, Drew. It’s It’s terrible product. It’s awful. But I hitch my wagon to this and I’ll do this till I die. So Willie Penguins dump it. Hildabby leaves it for Riley. Cowen elusive move in his own end into the feet of Riley. Plays it to Willie. Riley going for it. Willie can’t get the pass through. Cowan. Another elusive move in his own end. Tvaris to Cowan who gets the entry to Willie. Tries to go back to Cowan. Doesn’t work. Cowan’s got the feet going. Dvaris misses his target. The Leafs will have to go get it. Uh, time to launch SDP California. Adam is the Ducks believer. Steve the Sharks truther. Jesse the keeper of the crown for the Kings. You know what? Not bad. Canucks got hosed by the refs last night. Didn’t they have eight power plays? Didn’t they go 0 for eight? Nice. Doy ster McCabe on. Nice in the corner. He’s got the dancing shoes tonight too. Doy pinned. Penguins get the easy exit. Got to do better than that if you want to stay in the lineup. Max. Penguins behind the net. Try to go in front. Leafs knock it wide. Carlson eludes DOI. That’s fired wide. Doi gets the puck. chips it out and the Leafs will get a change. Followup. First round picks for coach was fifth overall. Oh my god. Uhoh. Oh, Malcolin whiffs on that. Good. W McMahon fires off to the side of the net. No points in six straight for McMahon. 923 to go in the first period. Wah turns it around. Wah fires that and that’s out of play. 917. I’m getting a call from Shelurn, Ontario right now. Do I answer it? No. Drew, are you there? Okay, just making sure that didn’t knock anything out with the stream. Steve Dangle here on the SDP YouTube channel.

If you play Final 20 with Dangle, by the way, which is free to play, you could win a free NHL jersey. Oo, how could I play it? I don’t know. No, there’s a link down below, you silly goose. If I got a $300 gift card to Fanatics, what jersey would I buy? Can I get an Olympic one? probably Olympic Crosby or Olympic McKinnon. Uh, and yeah, I wouldn’t get a leaf one. So, Dakota Mermis, there you go. I mean, you could do worse than Wool, couldn’t you? Uh, uhoh. There’s all the pressure of having a fan base that makes more noise than the home crowd of a team that isn’t a rival and a five-hour drive away. I know the Leafs are hard done by, right? It’s hard having fans. It’s the spirit of 81 powering Kindle. Damn, true. Just want to shout out my little cousin Aiden McCulla, uh, who scored his first goal in the QMJHL tonight. Hey, that’s pretty cool. Damn. ceue it up. Uh leaf shot differential in the last 10 10 games is minus 85. If we add this game tonight, it’ll be minus 87 and on the season we are now minus 102. Yeah, they’re bad. So um they should uh like do stuff. Willie to Tavvaris swatted aside by Seves. I got to say the Leafs entries have looked pretty good the last few minutes. Eastston Cowan scores. Give and go. Cowan and Kneelander and the Leafs regain the lead. 21. A little under nine minutes to go in the first. That was sweet from beginning to end. The entry was nice. Keeping it alive. Cowen Willie. Ew. See in hell. He had no idea where that puck was. Nasty stuff. Yeah. Fake slap pass from Knander. Drew pointing that out. And I am loving every Eastn Cow in celebration. This kid’s finding a stride again. Like part of the part of why it’s so frustrating watching this team is they’re just not worth completely giving up on like rebuild go for a top five pick. What are we doing? You’re redeemable is what I’m saying. There’s Robertson. I don’t remember even seeing him yet tonight. Pens gain center and dump it. What are the live odds, Drew? Sorry, I’m having some issues here. Penguins plus 190. Now, if you’re a Leaf hater, that might be a decent little bet there on Ballet Bet Sportsbook and Casino. Excuse me. Oh boy. What is happening here? I think I’m okay. It’s just sticking a lot. McCabe Ster around. Looks like it’s better now. Stcher McCabe Doy nice across the Matthews. That shot is blocked. Stcher I’m not sure where that pass was meant to go. He gets it back though. Stetcher McCabe passes off target. Penguins break out. Latang wide open. Great patience but he’ll to be equal to it. Great block. Was that the captain? Saved a goal there. Leafs very close to getting a too many men call. It is rigged, Drew. You’re right. See, is it rigged or are they The ref’s just bad. They always blur the line. McMahon. Just when you think it’s rigged, they go, “You know what? Maybe they’re just bad.” O Riley goes down to the ice hard. He gets up though. 635 to go in the first one stopped by Hildabby. Wah gives it away. Stopped by Hill to be the Hild Beast looking quite good. Scrum in front of the Leafs bench. McMahon helping his linemates change. He abandons his stick. Cowan took some antivenenom for his snake bite. No kidding. Crosby backhand is stopped by Hill to be Cowan up the ice finds Willie. Stutter step dumps it. Willie collects it in the neutral zone. He looks great. Willie in front shot. Oh, rebound. Meyers just couldn’t take advantage. Here’s Sid. Sid beats Knander. Sid in front. Can’t find a friendly stick. Willie finds JT. Riley joining the rush here as his linemates change, or rather the forwards change. Riley creates a turnover in the Ozone. Penguins change, but the Leafs have the puck. Goodness, the Leafs look much better than they did in the opening minutes. Oh jeez, here come the Penguins. Heen that shot is deflected away. Latang Leafs have taken another penalty. Here come the Pens. Malin, extra attacker for Pittsburgh. Malcin, that’s wide. Oel touches it. Cowan finding the back of the net. My good friend Steve. Uh, who’s a head turner? Classic name on the back of a Leafs jersey. Nobody in the last 20 years. Cle. Oh, Cle’s a Kenny Cle like Winnick. That’s a great stop. Oh, doy 28. That’d be funny. Doy takes the penalty on Heinen. No, Drew. I’m not shaking my head because of the refs. I’m shaking my head because of Max. Let me Let me love you. Yeah. Yeah. Drew’s like, “Isn’t it crazy that with Sid he’s like nonchalantly skating through the neutral zone and then it’s a fouron-one?” Like I don’t think we see Cowan with the Marlies again. Uh yeah, me neither. Uh, with Mner gone and us wanting Brad to do something, what player would you look at trying to acquire to fill the position? Wah is not it. W of all the names to pick, I’m I’m shocked by that. Um, we need more from Joshua. There might be a player there with Machelli, but like there’s definitely no guarantees there. Dom is driving me nuts. Hello. Don’t know what that was. Pittsburgh shoots. Hill to be stops. Penguins power play second in the NHL. Malcin stopped by Hill to be that blocker’s been active. Lorent gets it out. Penalty kill has been a somewhat of a bright spot in recent memory. A Derek King jersey. That’s an interesting one. Doesn’t he still work like for the NHL or something? Hill to be covers it up. 327 to go in the first. Robert Bett, I didn’t know Cowan had such a good shot, but watching the last few games, damn, what a bullet. Awesome. Uh, Nick Patan or Doy? Uh, Nick. Ah, do me. I can’t be that much of a hater. Uh, cheering for McKinnon and Macar. It’s so hard. Oh, you shush your face. N gets it down the ice. So, how can the Leafs keep playing uh DOI, a complete disaster that keeps uh on giving to the other teams? Um the answer is they don’t, right? He didn’t play last game and I don’t think he’s he might not play the next depending on how this goes. The Leafs are winning right now. I’m not quite as Debbie Downer as I was a minute ago. Is it true Scotia Bank Arena only serves their draft beer in plastic bags with straw because nobody there remembers what a cup looks like. Drew Drew liked it. That’s how you know it sucks. HBS fan here who admittedly uh enjoys a leaf loss, but I appreciate what you do and love the podcast. We’re not all here to troll you. Thank you. You weren’t sucked into the void. Yay. Yeah, I don’t know what the hell happened there. Uh, can we put Robertson back in the top six? He was legitimately really good up there. He was I think Barube killed his momentum a bit. Penalty was killed. That is the good news. Bad news is Pittsburgh has the puck. They work it around. They shoot. They’re blocked. Oh, we come on. Oh, the Leafs finally. Holy smokes are going to the power play. It must be my birthday. Holy cow. Matthews can’t get it deep. Penguins touch. 148 to go in the first. Lease will go to the power play with an opportunity to go up 3-1 here. Yeah, I mean Larson grabs the stick, but like it’s what Malcolin did, so ask me if I give a good gosh darn. Uh, asked Brewer. Welcome to STPVIP. Uh, evil to wear a jersey for a player that played for your team that’s more known for the other team, like a Leafs number 10 Ron Francis at a Pens. Yo, that would be hilarious. You should do that. Nice Matthews, Tvaris, Cowan Knander. On the draw is Tvaris. Least power play is ranked 26th in part due to a lack of practice. Matthews, Knander, Tvaris, Knander, Matthews stopped by Seov’s rebound. Penguins get it out. This is five forwards here. Lease power play is 1 for4 over the last seven games, which means the Leafs have only had 14 power plays over the last seven games. Pens have only killed 12 penalties over the last six games. Don’t make me do math right now. Cowan Matthews Tvaris shot stopped by CEOs. 55.8 seconds to go in the first. Win or lose, this game deserves a good bruh. Does it? This has been a good game. Back and forth. Actually, Steve, it’s my birthday slash yesterday at least. So, I’ll take the penalty. Happy birthday, Renitmon X. Happy birthday, Renimmon X. Happy birthday. Drop the puck. I’ll be a loser. Drop the puck. Tvarus wins the draw. Matthews on. Stopped by Seov’s blocker. Penguins clear it. 45 seconds to go in the first. Willie to Cowan with a head of steam. 35 seconds to go. Cowin is stripped. Here come the Penguins. This is a breakaway for them. Shorthanded. Oh, sails high. Leafs now have 22 seconds to work before the period is over. If the Leafs don’t score here, power play is going to go into the second period. Oel nice Riley. It’s batted away. Penguins Rust doesn’t get the shot off in time and the Leafs will begin the second period on the power play and with a 21 lead in Pittsburgh. Not the greatest start to the first period. Oel scores on their first shot on goal. Penguins tie it. And a nice give and go from Cowan and Willie puts the Leafs back on top two one. Steve Dangle here on the SDP YouTube channel.

I love the Cassie bowl when we do a stream when the Leafs are playing the Penguins. You must think that I’m crazier than an Lindy ad. Drew, what do you think? Two minutes. All right. All right. Spelling B. This was unhinged last time we played. Drew thinks this isn’t as bad as the first one. A lot of people are going to be tripped up by I think you’re going to be surprised, Drew.

How is really? 29% of you said Austin with an I. Uh 14% of you said Austin with one T. Guys, respectfully, what? It’s not going to get easier. Let’s go to number two. Producer Drew still loves this guy. Don’t let him tell you any different. It’s Miko Ranton, but how the heck do you spell it? I know which one’s going to be the most popular and it ain’t right. The answer. Oh heavens. 56% again. Mikorandin. A Justin tripped you up just as I knew he would with C with the Omls. He got you. No lls for this. Finn. Got your ass. Let’s go to number three. This longtime Jet now plays in Carolina. It’s Nikolai Elers. How the heck do you spell it? The answer is B. Nicolash Eers. Brooklyn 999 fans stand 82% of you got it. Folks, it ain’t getting easier. It gets harder as we go. Number four may be small in stature, but he’s big on proper capitalization. It’s Alex de Brink, of course. And how the heck do you spell it? The answer is D. Alec 65% got it. And this is I think where the 50% and under starts to happen. He’s one of the hottest goalenders in the league right now. plays for the Minnesota Wild. Talking about yes perpetic with an Oilers first round selection. How did the Wild end up with an Oilers first? There’s a trade tree. Someone should do those. 71% of you got it. Oh, 71% of you play fantasy hockey. Uh, that is C. I think this next one’s going to trip you up though. This Anaheim Duck is a Darkhorse Calder Trophy contender. Dark horse in that if Matthew Schaefer gets like hurt, he might win it. That’s the only way he’s going to get it. Ashua General back at Senica. Drew has typed it many times. Double T double N. 56% of you got this. Oh, we got a big change though. Taikian is now leading with 812 points. Heather the AS fan is third. Keegan second. Two more. This Russian sniper was just inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Alexander McGilly Drew says he shouldn’t have been. Wow. Wow. And the answer is a Alexander Mogilly. 58% of you got that. All of us went to school with some kid who annoyingly pronounced it moggginly. Drew’s like, “What?” Dude, it was brutal. I want to say Don Cherry did that. And like he scored 76 goals in the NHL like in one year. It wasn’t cute. Last one. Who is the coach of the Carolina Hurricanes? Justin’s notes for this, by the way, are Rod Bindore. Rod Bindore. Oh my. And the answer I actually need to check myself. Oh, there you go. It is C. Broad Bindore 62% of you got it. Not a single answer below 60. I’m shocked. Kokei fell out of the top three. Went right back into first place. Tyikian just falling short but getting second. Keegan holding on for third. You all win SDPN mini sticks and the rest of you get 15% off at the SDPN shop. Thank you to Spark who do such a good job. Uh Drew, what’s the clip? Us talking about Team Canada’s goalies. Enjoy and we’ll be back soon. Obviously, we know that Matthew Schaefer has been added to the Olympic Canada roster pool. Um, and I love when that’s announced. If you’re added, and basically, by the way, if you’re added now, it’s there. You’re one of 35. Damn. So, so when whenever they announce that, they’re like, “This guy has to pee in a cup.” Yeah. That’s how they should announce it. Yeah. This guy has to do drug testing. Canada’s goalies right now, it looks like could be of these four, I want you to pick three for the Olympics. Bennington, Keer, Thompson, and the recently added Scott Wedgewood of the first place never losing a game again Colorado Avalanche. I can tell you what they’re going to do, which I think is Bennington, Keer, Wedgewood. Okay. What would you do? No, they got to do Thompson. Are you kidding me? Here’s the thing. Like I was listening to CJ show on the way in. The third goalie doesn’t play. Like and if he does, you’re in [ __ ] So if you’re bringing three goalies who you think have a legitimate chance to be your starter, which is kind of the position that Canada’s in, I think you’re already in trouble. I think you need to have it’s this person and if things go ary then it’s this person and then the third guy is like he he’s he’s vibes guy. He’s there to make you laugh. He’s there to keep it loose. I really like the argument for Scott Wedgewood because he’s a career backup. Like who knows that role better than a guy who’s done it including the beginning of this season, right? So I probably bring bring him. Keer is playing pretty well and he’s won a cup and then uh it’s Bennington. So I think you start Bennington. Keer plays the relief games. If there’s a conversation after let’s say four games, three or four games, you can make the switch to Keer and then if someone gets that’s what the third goalie is there for. Mhm. They’re not there as a third option. They’re there if someone gets injured, right? So Bennington, Keer, Wedgewood, and that’s very unfair to Thompson, but so be it. Jesse, of those of those if you’re team Canada management and it’s all up to you. Of those four, Keer, Wedgewood, Thompson, and Bennington, who are your goalies? I’m going Bennington, Thompson, Keer. Those are my three. And I believe Matthew Schaefer is added to the long list, not the short list. No, for each said it was it’s the 35. It’s the third, but they’re still at like the 90 list, are they not? He said, here’s what he said. Uh, he said, “Colorado Scott Wedgwood joins Matthew Schaefer as late additions to the team of Canada Olympic pool. If you’re added now, you aren’t one of the 90, the original list. You’re one of the 35 in a series candidate.” Oh, wow. So, wow. Well, I mean, they named the team in like a month. Yeah. Mhm. That’s why I think it’s cool. Damn. What a I mean, that’s a great story. Career backup. 33 years old. Yeah. Scott Wedgewood. Those are those are my three, by the way. I think it’d be a shame to leave off Logan Thompson. I think so, too. Yeah. Um, if I’m going to be honest with you, I know that Bennington played great, but he’s the only one with a sub 910 save percentage this year. He’s 30 points behind the other guys. Don’t know. Like, listen, that’s so nice that you did it at Four Nations. I’d love to know what he was Thompson Wedgewood. What are we doing here? What was Bennington? I’d love to know, and I don’t know how we would find this. What was Bennington’s safe percentage heading into the four nations? It was bad. It was garbage. Yeah, it was garbage. And then the tournament began and he was garbage. And the tournament continued and he was garbage. And then the final showed up and he’s like, I’m unbeatable. Like he was great. It was that’s that’s the kind of uh thing that team Canada is faced with is they look for big game experience and I can’t just brush it off as it, you know, saying it means nothing. Yeah, he did it like he won the gold medal. Like I feel like that’s enough of proof of confidence that he’s your starting goalender. Plus the team in front of him this year is bad. Like it’s not he’s not playing in front behind the St. Louis Blues when he goes to the Olympics. It’s Kale Mar and Conor McDavid and and Nathan McKinnon. Like he’s it’s in a different circumstance and I feel like he’s earned that number one role. Okay. Now I can tell you the save percentage too, Steve, if you can give me the date that Four Nations started. Uh, I just found it. Um, this was an article written February 11th, 2025 by Kristen Schultton at ESPN, uh, ESPN. Oh, no, sorry. I’m reading his World Championship stats, which were awful. He had a 6-2 record, but he was an 885. So, you’re looking at um roughly February 11th. You want me to stop at February 11th? Okay, sure. Um, even if we’re missing a game here or there, this just gives you a a snapshot into how bad he was. Jordan 897. 897. Well, so yeah, he’s even worse this year from the beginning, which makes sense. From the beginning of the season till February 11th, he was an 897 last year. So there you go. 289 GAA record was 1519 and four. Oh, ugly. So it’s irrelevant. Ugly. And then he was great. And then, you know, for as bad as he’s been, like sometimes you can extrapolate a lot by looking at a team’s how a team’s backup is performing. Joel Hoffer is 25 and two with an 869. Nice. So, Bennington’s significantly better than that at least. Oh, okay. Oh, he’s an upgrade over their backup, which it’s a low bar. Uh, uh, okay. Low bar. Uh, listen, I’m skeptical again this year. You’re not picking Bair. The rules don’t apply. Uh the rules don’t apply. I mean I I I listen I I think it’s cool that that he did that last year, but I I believe that you should ride the hot hand. You know, the one thing I will say is that he is the cup winner out of all of them, right? Canada has one as a starter. No, he doesn’t. Canada has a reputation for um needing to be forced into the right decision. Um, in 2014, Stove Dingle here on the STP YouTube channel brought to you by Bellet Sportsbook and Casino. Click like, click subscribe. Tell all your friends. Cassie says, “Justin, I’ll never forgive you for that.” And Cassie’s right for that spark trava. Oh no. Producer Drew said, “Justin, that sucked.” And Justin replied, “Next time I’m making it harder. You’re all in trouble.” Puck is about to be dropped for the second period. The Leaves begin with a very brief power play. 12 seconds. Matthews wins the draw. And at the very least, maybe you can establish ozone possession. Matthews to Doi can’t handle the pass. Here come the Penguins. Connor Der out of the box. offside of the Penguins. Do I miss Connor Der? Um, I miss what Connor Der should have been because he was a young, perfectly capable depth scorer with Minnesota. Came to Toronto, lost all offensive ability, went to Pittsburgh, immediately began scoring again. Like would Homeberg be a better option? Would Der be a be a better option? I know Drew’s like I said Connor Der not Ryan O’Reilly. Yeah, but the Leafs are you know you don’t get to where they are in the standings by being good, right? So nice. That was a weird hop. Stop by Cavs. Eric Carlson hands the puck off. Here come the pen shot. Stop by Hillby who’s been sharp tonight. Doy to Matthews. Skates it through the neutral zone. Chips it in for nice and skates off for a change. First time trying the trivia and came 170th says Renitmon. Happy birthday to you. McCabe in his own end to Tvaris who evades Cydney Crosby which is a tricky thing to do. Latang up the ice finds Sid who’s got Tavvaris on him again. Willie to Ster McCabe Willie Tvaris Cowan Tavvaris Leaf’s moving the puck well here. Tvaris couldn’t find Cowan and Cowan with a great defensive play on Malin to keep it in the Penguin zone. Penguins would have gotten out with numbers there. Cowboy is exactly why you don’t empty the cupboards. Yes. Yes. Yes. You need to be in a certain position to justify emptying the cupboards. And the Leafs ain’t there. Puck into the Leafs bench. Drew says empty it every year. Well, the Avalanche are in a position to do that. Leaf it like you might have the best forward in the league and the best defenseman. McMahon. Good work in the Penguin zone to Riley at the point. Oel. Riley on deflected and they score. Bobby McMahon. The streak ends here. And the Leafs increase their lead to two with a 3-1 lead 2 and 1/2 minutes into the second. McMahon had a great play behind the net. Works it to Riley. Oel. Riley on. Tip from McMahon. I don’t think that hits Joshua. I think it hits Matt Dumba in front. Let’s see. Riley McMahon. Uh, that camera angle doesn’t show if it hit Dakota Joshua or not, but Bobby McMahon with his first point in seven games now. He went six games without a point. Good to bust that slump. Penguins fan on that. Penguins shoot. Stop by Hill tobe and we’ll get a whistle. You know, like the Leafs are passing well tonight, which is not something that they’ve done consistently. They’re also winning battles. That play is is born of winning battles and doing the right things and fighting hard in front of the net. Pittsburgh swats at it with a hand pass. Leafs just letting the time waste. They finally blow the play dead. No, I don’t think Silv sucks. Like or Sheil sucks. Craig Craig Simpson with a great point. Like the Leafs just let the clock go, but like now you have a Dzone draw. Okay, they get rid of it. No, she loves like I I don’t know. I’m trying to think of like which one he should have had, you know? Like that was a really good deflection. Penguins, that’s deflected wide. He did look a little lost on the Cowan one. And then who had the first goal? Oh, Oel. That was a terrible D in front of him. Hildby gloves it and it’ll be another Dzone draw. 1624 to go in the second. New live odds of Balbet Sportsbook and Casino. Leafs minus 625. Penguins plus 425. If you don’t like the Leafs who blew a twogoal lead yesterday, uh that might be for you. Uh Robert bet Troy Stetcher I think was a good pickup. Uh one of the few uh players one of one of the few plays his game not trying to do too much. Oh, one of a few play sorry YouTube on super chats the the the way you type comments into super chat is brutal and it’s something that YouTube needs to fix because sometimes I’m trying to read what gets put in there and I’m like that’s barely English. What what is happening? It’s not your fault. Robert Hayes gains his own for Pittsburgh. Merma says get out of here. Myers to Willie gain center dumps it. Cowan after it. One on five. He doesn’t come out with it, believe it or not. Cowan heads off. Myers up the ice for McMahon. McMahon gains the zone. W Joshua McMahon Stetcher on through traffic Joshua and he scores. This line is going to work in the second period and less than five minutes into the second period the Leafs are up 41. Oh, baby. Oh, haven’t seen anything like this in a while. And Drew on that one, I’m going to say Cavs wasn’t looking very good. He’s pretty deep in his net. Four goals on nine shots. Is he getting the hook here? Drew saying he should. I agree to be honest. Four goals on nine shots. Yeah, he just got pulled smashing his I mean that’s a bad night at the office, right? I mean, even if you say only like two of those are on him, that’s still two bad goals on nine shots. And that’s if you move the goalposts, which I don’t think you should. Stetcher. Ah, kept it alive only momentarily. He’s helped out by his D partner. TJ. Hi, Steve. Hi. Most dangerous lead. How dare you? Joshua’s third goal of the season. Robertson. A good defensive play. Almost turns it into offense there. Now, here come the Penguins again. Stetcher knocks his man off the puck. Robertson, the Leafs need to find solutions in their bottom six. And if that line of McMahon Wah and Joshua can have a game like this, you know, once a week, it would go a long way to making them hurt less. I still don’t love Doy on the top line. Well, here he is right now. You know, I like Cowan with Tvarus and Knander. I don’t hate the fourth line at all. Like there’s things to build off of here. Nice. Tries to find Doy. Carlson wins that foot race. Jeez. Leafs minus 3,335. Penguins plus 950. There was a threegoal lead erased last time these teams played. Oh, baby. Steve Dangle here on the SDPN YouTube channel. This stream is brought to you by Bellbet Sportsbook and Casino. Buddy, click like, click subscribe, tell all your friends. The Leafs are clicking tonight. Clicking. I think we’re all sitting here waiting for, hoping for, begging for the moment they turn it around and keep it turned around. I’m not going to get sidetracked by this. I still feel just dreadfully about this team, but like this is a really good knight. Stlars I think will get back to form. He was obviously hurt. Wool is playing out of his mind. Hildabby has been great. He doesn’t have a win. He doesn’t have a win yet this season, but he freaking should. And Drew goes there’s a lot of time left in this game. Yeah. This is the scary thing. I mean, listen. Either the Leafs win and I’m happy or they blow a 4-1 lead and then there’s no justification for us waking up to news of uh or there’s no justification for us to not wake up to news that someone’s been fired. Yeah, Drew is asking if Bub took a puck to the forehead. You know what? It’s an injury to someone who’s paid by the Leafs. So, I don’t know what happened to him. Uh, from the line we weren’t sure about. You’re absolutely right, Robert. Our third line finally has an identity. That’d be great. I mean, they’re all big. They’re all offensively capable. They can skate. They can win battles. What’s not to like? Like, that’s a good third line, isn’t it? Tristan Jarry just gave two healthy slashes to Eastan Cowan because Cowan hacked at his glove. Oh, giveaway by Cowan in the Leaf zone. Not great, kid. Weather spoon rust one-time blockered away by Hildabby. That blocker’s been working and Cowan eager to make up for his mistake. Tvaris Takawan spins waiting for help. Leaves D changes. Willie McCabe Stetcher McCabe. Willie over to Wah as the Leafs looking to change here. Cowan. It’s behind the Penguins net. Stcher’s going to pinch here. Leaf’s got to have his back. Good job by Stcher. Penguins have a real hard time getting out of their zone. They do it, but not without giving up the puck. Stuff like that, right? It’s a little thing. It didn’t lead to anything big. It’s just good. You just got to keep putting together good things. Here comes Kven in the pass. The save from Hilde, who’s been very sharp. Kindle again. Get this guy out of here. Stcher. Oh, puck’s bouncing around. Kindles passes off target. Thank goodness. McMahon. He’s got that speed. Latang as the Leafs get a change. Is that offside? Offside. Stallers being the Leaf’s third best goalie uh to start the season. Definitely wasn’t on my bingo card. really do hope he clicks again once he’s healthy. The I mean smart money is he’ll get it back. Like not even worried. Great save from Hilde. Graves airmails it. Swatted by Meyers. Does Hildby have a win yet? No. And he’s played very well. Matthews and Doli can’t connect. Pittsburgh comes in. Hillbe directs that just wide enough to avoid a rebound. Doi can’t find Matthews there. Mermis with a good hit separating his man from the puck. Mermis Myers off the boards. Nice. Matthews Matthews Oel airmails it. Five points from Leaf Defenders tonight, says Chris Cuthbird. That’s good stuff. Good deny of the entry. McMahon. Joshua. McMahon can’t get it to Joshua. Penguins on the counterattack. It’s a three. They flood the pass. Malikin gave up on the play. McMahon into the corner for Joshua. This line’s been all over it to start the second. Not even halfway through the period. Mantha stripped and that puck. Where’d that go? Into the Leaf’s bench. Producer Drew pointing out that’s hilarious. Uh, the Leafs still on pace for less than 20 shots. Uh, with friends like Drew, who needs enemies? No, that’s it is a valid point. You could definitely make the argument like what? This is how they played last year. You know, they got outshot. Yeah, but not like this. Nine to 17 are the shots. Like that’s pretty crap. But it’s 4-1. Yeah, my attitude last year was who cares about the shot scoreboard, but they weren’t getting doubled up on a nightly basis. Cowan Cowan Toris. Ah, stripped from behind by Heinen. Pass off target from Sid. Haven’t heard that name in a while. Puck has stayed off his stick. uh which is generally good practice. But here he is with the puck and his stick finds Shay. Shay one-time from Rust. Puck play is blown dead. McCabe and Crosby, you know, I think McCabe probably punches him in the face if it’s not Sydney Crosby, but it’s Sydney Crosby, so you let it go. Puck was not loose until Crosby poked it loose. So we had the commercial break. Leafs with a 4 one lead here. Stove Dingle here on the SDP YouTube channel.

Ballet Bet Sports Book and Casino. It’s free to play. Link down below. I think it’ll be great. Producer Drew goes, “Does Leo know who Crosby is?” Not only does Leo know who Crosby is, he had the opportunity to get anyone on the back of his jersey for team Canada. And when given the choice, he picked Crosby. Over martyr, how dare you, man. Uh, this is crazy from Kevin Pipeti. He said, “Tough to believe how much Oel is costing the Canucks. Dude, next year, the season after. Okay, next year, OL is going to cost the Conucks over $4.7 million, 2.1 the year after, and 2.1 the year after that. What? What they trade to get rid of him? Oh, dude, it was not great. I’m going to look. There’s a trade tree worth tackling. Ecman Larson traded from Arizona with Connor Garland to the Vancouver Conucks for Antoine Rousell, Jay Beagle, Louis Ericson, uh, and a first round pick that turned into Dylan Gther, a second round pick that turned into Hunter Heights, uh, and a seventh round pick. Goodness gracious. Gther is very good. I mean, the Conucks did get Garland. Like, Garland’s been very good for them. It’s not even what they gave up. It’s that they bought him out, right? Dylan Ganther. Hot damn. cleared away from Hill to be. 837 to go in the second shot that is blocked in front. Penguins fire that well wide. They still have it though. Carlson Weatherspoon. Covenan. Carlson. That’s wide. Kovenin. That pass doesn’t connect. The Penguins lose the zone. It could be 10 nothing for the Leafs. In the third, I would still be nervous, says Robert. Bet. That’s the trauma. That’s the trauma talking. Doy. Oh, yell stopped. Oh, he almost found N in front. O Yell is playing great. Ny going at it with Who’s that? Watherspoon. Wther spoon gives N a pretty good shot there. And NY’s pointing out, hey man, I didn’t really do anything. Are they going to get a power play? They ought to. He didn’t do anything. Like Weatherspoon starts the whole thing. N gives him a bit of the stinky glove and then Witherspoon pops him pretty good. Roughing on Weatherspoon. Leafs power play with a chance to make it 5-1 here. Penguins coach is furious. What’s their coach’s name again, Drew? Yeah, he we had to Google it. We don’t know. He does look a little like Moby. Dan Muse. Thank you, Drew. Matthews at the point. Gowen at the point. Matthews. Willie, Willy, Willy, Willie, Will really Willy, Will Willie, Will Willy. Matthews, Willy, Willy, Willy, Will really Willy, will really Willy, Willie. Matthews deflected. Stopped by Jarry. Leafs get the puck back, Tavar. Ah, puck just off target. That was a good save. That was all instinct there. I’m playing hurt, folks. I had chili for dinner. I got heartburn right now. Knander. Knander. There were jalapenos. It was so good. Matthews. Knander. Gavvaris. Matthews. That’s blocked. No, I’m not going to ask her to bring me milk. Associate producer. My wife. 45 seconds to go in this power play. Matthews retrieves it in his own end. Pass way up the ice on target for N. Willie shot. He misses his target and the puck goes around. Riley retrieves it. 33 seconds to go. Riley to Oel to Riley behind the Penguins net. McMahon doy. Wah Wah can’t find Riley. 15 seconds to go in this power play. Riley keeps it alive. Wah. McMahon. Ah. Doy after it. Kicks it loose in front and Wah scores. Nick Wah. Does it count as a power play goal? I believe it does. Jarry upset. I’m pretty cool about it though. And number 55 puts five on the board for the Leafs. God, they were do a night like this, weren’t they? Doy basically stole it off of Jarry and he finds Wah for the tap in. And Wah with the huge celebration even though it was a 51 goal. They’re all huge goals tonight. This team needs this so so so bad. Emo Jalapeno, big smiley face. That’s only Wah’s second of the season. I’m surprised by that. Like he hasn’t played poorly. Doiy’s fourth assist. McMahon’s fourth assist. McMahon with a multi-point game here. Weatherspoon can’t keep the puck alive in his own end. And Pittsburgh is currently throwing up a stinker at home. Now, the Leafs were throwing up a stinker at home the last time these two teams played and they ended up winning. So, we’ll see how this ends up. 51 Leafs lead. You never would have known we were in for that tonight based on the mopey way that I started this pod this this stream. New live odds from Valley Bet Sports Book and Casino. You can’t bet on the Leafs. Not money line. Anyway, uh Penguins are plus 2800. Wow. Wow, man. Like, okay, CEOs was not good. And I think Hildabbee’s been pretty sharp. I think the Leafs look great. At minimum, they look like the better team, which the number of nights you can say that this year. It’s not a lot, man. It’s not a lot, but they’re killing it. They look great. I want to see who’s doing what. Chris Cuthbar with a great point. Maybe the best period of the season so far for the Leafs. You ain’t wrong. Every single Leaf is either even or a plus. Doi with a point. N with a point. Almost every Leaf has a bloody point. Robertson, Tavvaris, Lorent, the only forwards without a point so far and only Meyers, Mermis, and McCabe on the back end without a point. Holy cow, Baoust, every time I go to the bathroom, the Leafs score. Come on, keep drinking water then. Flyers whooping the Devils like the Leafs are whooping the Penguins right now. And I don’t trust either team to hold on to the lead yet, says Katie. We’re damaged. Ster Wah Wah has McMahon. Wah shoots. That goes out of play. 514 to go in the second. Nick Wah is dancing. God, can the Leafs play tomorrow? Like, they need to build off this, man. They need to build off this. Am I still wanting them to do something? Yeah, I am. Like even though they’re killing them tonight, you have Machelli making over three and Yarn Croak making over two as healthy scratches tonight. That’s no good. And twothirds of your right side is injured on D. That money could be used elsewhere. You know what I mean? Nice Matthews. He didn’t quite like how he received that pass. Mermis doi Matthews can’t quite find nice and now he’s got to scramble back on Der puts it behind the net. 450 to go in the second puck takes a weird bounce. What on earth? Mermis can’t quite clear it. Lazot Shay Leafs a little hemmed here on one-time Latang man. Nothing’s going right for the Pence. They can’t connect on anything. They still have the puck though. Latang Sheay Shay Mermis takes out his man. Ah, not a good pass to Doy. I don’t love that. That’s not on Max. Leaf’s a little hemmed here, Shay. Mostly they’ve kept the Penguins to the outside. Latang, that pass is off target. Yeah, this is starting to get not good. Latang, they’re going to take a penalty here. Shot. That’s wide. Luckily, no call. Penguins keep it alive. Boy oh boy. Everyone at 90 seconds plus on their shift. Cross ice. That shot’s blocked. Mermis Matthews gets it out. Go for a change. Nice does the rest. Everyone else is trapped. Mantha down low. Malin stop by Hillbe. Meyers clears it. Doy shovels it down the ice for Willie perfectly. So they’ll change. Willie will try to keep it alive as reinforcements show up. He can’t, but reinforcements get on the ice. So, mission accomplished. Three minutes to go in the second. Knander tries to find Cowan. They call that Why is that icing? All right. 254 to go in the second. Oel Cowan McMahon. DK Wah. Wait, who’s DK? DK Dakota. Dakota Kashua. Oel Cowan McMahon. DK Wah. Anyone parlayed equals money? Are you saying you did, Rusty? Oh, whoa. Ty Doy jersey in the crowd. Just saw him stand up. Leafs. Ah, can’t keep it alive in the ozone. Kindle pass a little off target. Stolen by Nick Robertson. Might have something here around for Tavaris. Robertson with Tavarus and Cowan right now. All because of the icing. Lorent Robertson with the puck. Stcher walks the line. Pass off target for McCabe. Robertson good job getting his stick on the puck there. Just messing with the Penguins a little bit. Puck out of play. 157 to go in the third. In the second, sorry. Final 20 with Dangle. It’s free to play and we’re gonna play it. Second intermission. There’s a $300 Fanatics card up for grabs, a free NHL jersey. There’s a lot. And all you got to do is guess some stuff and be right and it’s free to play. Oh, the 30 the $300 Fanatics gift card is the jersey. My bad. My bad. So, basically, it’s not, hey, here’s the jersey. It’s a prize and we’re just going to give it to you. No, it’s you get to get whatever you want. Dakota Joshua hits it into the Penguins bench. 144 to go in the second. Steve, you gonna watch Survivor Series after? No, I have work to do. And also, I don’t really like the WWE right now. Oh, I Well, I do like Edge. The surprise is blown a little bit. I keep forgetting this is only the second and not the third. Hopefully the Leafs don’t shot. That’s well off target from Dumba. Penguins keep it alive though. Leafs get get it out. Wah. Is that Matthews with Tavvarus and Wah? What the hell is that Joshua? Here come the Pens. Twoon two shot stopped by Hillby. There is a rebound though and Crosby gets to the puck. Stcher all over him. Good shank by Tavvaris. What a move. Oh, that’s Joshua. Sorry. 91 looks like 81. I can’t help it. And it looks like the Penguins just got a holding call and the Leafs will go back to the power play with a minute three to go in the second. Vintage Phil Kessle beaming down the right wing, says producer Drew. Yeah, the 81s have been dancing tonight. The energy of Phil Kessle is in the air. Lightning fan who also watches LFR. Thank you, Henderson. Uh, so the LFR is either going to be Steve complaining about blowing this lead or complaining about not playing this well the rest of the time. Get out of my head. No, that’s not true. Matthews. Cowan was knocked to the ice there. Cowen. Matthews. Matthews. Cowan. Tvaris. Willie. We’re messing with Cowan here. Matthews on. That was deflected. That’s wide. Cowan to Matthews. Cowan. Ooh, interesting pass. Denise Matthews. keeps it alive. Willie under 30 to go. Matthews. Tavvaris. Hook pass to Willie. Matthews. Cowan. Throw it on. He does. That’s wide. Nice. Tvaris. Cowan. Matthews. Yeah. Not only is it five forwards. No, Willy’s the righty. He’s the lone righty. I know. Leafs regain the zone. They have two seconds. Ah, couldn’t do anything with it. That’s the end of the second period. But what a second period. The Leafs will go into the third with a 51 lead. Come on, Dennis. Come on, Dennis.

Will the Leafs score in the first 10 minutes of the third? They’re going to start with a minute power play. I’m going to say yes. And save over $550. How many shots? Give me lucky 13. Can you beat me? Can you beat my score? I’m not going to lie. Probably I’m I’m actually quite bad at this. But if you dare to be a play final 20 link down below and you could win a $300 Fanatics gift card. You could win a $100 Fanatics gift card and you could win the right to say, “Steve, you’re an idiot and I beat you.” Which I mean that’s its own reward, right? Also consider a donation to my Movember page this intermission because let me tell you, this thing is not sticking around. We’re trying to beat Michael Bazetta. We’re currently beating Michael Bazetta. Do I have a Captain Hook costume? I might have a hat. I might have a hat. All right. Drew, what clip? Speaking of Tristan Jarry, should the Oilers acquire Tristan Jarry? [Music] We’ll be back after this clip. All right. Now, listen. I told you that uh it’s not the it’s probably not going to be St. Louis Edmonson. And the reason for that, and I think a lot of people forget this, is that NHL GMs are salty babies, and the reason it’s not going to be St. Louis Edmonton apparently, is that um the Edmonton Oilers are salty babies for making a huge mistake and leaving Holloway and Broberg as RFAS, and Doug Armstrong took advantage of that a summer ago. And coincidentally though, the Blues gave up a bunch of futures and are bad in the present. They also didn’t need to, right? They were just trying to to trying to make nicy nice, but apparently Jeff Jackson and Stan Bowman have not forgotten the slight. So, they will not be dealing with each other. Uh that’s that’s dumb. Now, what apparently might be uh is Pittsburgh and several different uh people have talked about it. Free CJ, everybody’s talked about it. Uh they got four goalies ready to play in the NHL and AHL. And who’s the most expensive one? Tristan Jarry passed through waiverss multiple times last year. Uh was basically unplayable but had a good start this season. And what’s funny is Kyle Dubis might get out with with without retention get out from the worst contract he has signed as a general manager or second worst. Ryan Graves I think is Ryan Graves is the worst one but the most expensive one was Tristan Jarry because he’s 5.375. Ryan Graves is only four and a half mil. I think it’s also just something that makes sense, man. Like, uh, Jarry hasn’t been bad, uh, this year on a on a not great team. No, on a not great team, but, you know, he hasn’t been bad. That’s a compliment. Yeah. And, uh, throughout his career, during the regular season, he’s typically actually all right. Yeah. Uh, if you go and look at some of his seasons. And, you know, it’s funny how easy it is to earn a reputation because I was thinking to myself, well, Oilers are trying to win a cup. He’s a good regular season goalie. They need to make the playoffs, but he’s terrible in the playoffs. I went back. He’s played one full series. Mhm. That’s it. He was bad though. It was bad, but it was one full series. Yeah. I did not know that. It felt like it was a lot more. Um, but listen, they need to make it straight up. So, you can’t do it with your current crop. Uh, how do you do it? Dubis, you know, he loves a dinky little deal of two guys you’ve never heard of, but he also loves a colossal freaking deal. And I think this would be more along those lines. My my guess, and I have nothing to back this up, guys, but I do think Kipper was right when he said Edmonton’s looking for a defenseman. And the reason I say that is I’ve watched Edmonton play defense. Yeah, it’s um poor. It is poor. Uh so if Trist I mean what a turnaround for Tristan Jarry you know a guy that they literally were like uh we can’t play you at the NHL level just six seven months ago is now potentially going to a team that has been and again speculative but Kevin Weekes was the one tweeting about it. Oh stop it um Kevin Weekes was saying that that you know when he tweeted about it going to a team that’s been to two finals in a row. Jesse, do you like the fit? Potentially. I do. Yeah, I think it’s it’s an upgrade. Like I think Jar’s playing well enough that whatever they’d get out of him right now would be better than what they’re getting currently out of Skinner and and Pickard. And like I even think if Connor Ingram can kind of be what he’s been in his career, that’ll also be an upgrade. I think in goal right now, there needs to be just some sort of change just to see what’s what’s what they can do new. You know, change for the sake of change, I think, would be nice. And I’d like to see Jarry out there. And I don’t think it would cost you a lot because of the contract. I think the defense if if it was a defenseman it might cost you. Well, so Jari makes uh 5.38. Who wants to get insane? Who wants to get completely nuts? What does Kyle Dubis like to do? He likes to collect. He does like to trade down. He likes to collect Sue Greyhounds like Infinity Stones. He never did manage to get his hands on Darnold Nurse. Oh, do you really think how does that I mean cuz cuz Darnell Nurse has had his moments in in the playoffs and stuff for Edmonton like for a team that needs more defense is trading Darnell Nurse is he that is he a negative? So I know his contract’s high but like whatever man like salary cap’s going up. That’s that’s where this trade goes ary. And like I honestly think if you’re if you’re managing to get Jarry off your books and you’re acquiring Nurse, you could probably also get rid of Graves too, like just for the the dollar value. But here’s here’s where it goes ary. I think in NHL circles, Darnold Nurse’s value is a lot higher than it is in the online hockey community. I mean, he he busts his ass. Yeah, he makes way too much money. Like there there’s a world where um he’s like actually a really popular player, but that 9.25 million cap hit is insane. Remember when Tyler Myers was the worst, most overpaid freaking unplayable plug in the world and then he signed for like three and everyone’s like, “Ah, Chaos Giraffe. Love him.” Yeah. At 6 mill. Yeah, it was painful. It was painful and now it’s No, that actually that fits. That’s valid. Okay, I like that. Um, listen, I don’t think it happens, but I’m trying to figure out how on earth the money works for Edmonton. Mhm. Because they’re not really in a position to take on a goalie who makes over $5 million. Even if they traded away Steuart Skinner. Even if they traded away Skinner and Pickard. What about a What about a winger? What about a maji? Man, a guy you just got. I guess I guess you could like Pod Coulson doesn’t make a ton. I just thought Map Pony makes 3.3, right? Kain is an interesting name. I don’t think Dubis wants him back. I also think he’s injured again. And he is injured again. That was a tough clip to watch yesterday. It was. I really felt that. if they really wanted to get the deal done and they had to pay the price that Dubis was asking for. Like if I’m on the Edmonton side, I’m asking for 50% retained. And that 50% retained for Stuart Skinner plus whatever. Oh, you want Skinner retained? No, I want Jarry retained 50%. And Stuart Skinner for Tristan Jarry 50% retained plus whatever assets that are required to acquire that player leaves Edmonton with more cap space. So like they would they would gain 88 grand uh back and so they’d end up in the positive account. So that is this season and next season and the season after. That’s hefty price to pay. That’s the remaining Conor McDavid seasons that are under contract. That’s kind of what you’d have to pay for it, right? Cuz that’s the goalie he is right now. He’s not a 5 whatever million dollar goalie right now. He’s less than that. So, if you’re in these negotiations, you want Dubis to keep some of that money because Pittsburgh has over 12 million bucks in cap space, right? Uh, current cap space. Yeah, this since they changed the LTI, I don’t understand anything. According to Puckedia, projected cap space is just under 9 mil. Current cap space is just under 12.3. Okay, so there you go. So, right now, they have that ability to just take on that money and you got to utilize their cap space because you don’t have your own. So, I would pay for Dubis to retain that if it’s 40 or 50% and then you get into that comfy number of you’re actually gaining a little cast space back. So, what do we got in terms of assets if I’m Edmonton? Okay, I don’t have a first this year, but I do have a second and a third. I don’t have a fourth or fifth. I have a sixth and seventh. Dubis loves a seventh round pick and trading for one. But you got all your first three picks in 2027 and you got all your first three picks in 2028 and in fact, you have two/3s. Yeah, it could be a fit here. Mhm. Yeah. And and uh the other thing that came out is that it’s might not they might not just stop at Skinner. It might be Pickered, too. Not in this trade, but it looks like they might be trying to upgrade both goalies. And I haven’t heard anything about what the second goalie might be. Worked pretty well for Colorado. Yeah. Um so if they if they like you, there you go. You know, maybe you’re making room for him by removing picker just for the cap space as well. Maybe that makes the jar deal even easier because you’re gaining that calf space too. And maybe there’s a case to get assets back for a picker. Like maybe you’re replenishing the draft pick capital that you got to send out there to get Jarry. Like there’s a lot of maneuvering that Edmond can Edmonton can do. And I think that’s why you in particular, Adam, scream so much about their front office is because there is creativity to be had and they’ve always sat on the sidelines with this situation. What a good word. Creativity. I want more GMs to like, listen, the league is so close and you know, teams are worried about blowing it up and and making a big buy or making a big sell. All right, how about you just make a trade that makes your team better? How about you’re the Oilers, you have no goalending, you need it. You’re the Penguins, you have too much. Shut up and kiss. Oh my god. make I’m so tired of well we just you know we can’t do it. What if all of us showed up to work every day and went can’t do my job sometimes. I just can’t do it. I mean and got paid 56 million bucks for it. That’d be pretty sweet. Sorry boss. It’s November. Work doesn’t get done in November. What? Sorry. The entire month of November. Nothing happens. You do forget the human side of it sometimes because these are people who are still fighting for one of 32 jobs and if they make the GMs the GMs if they make a mistake then they have to wear it. If you just stick with your plan as is with the players you acquire, it falls on the players. And sometimes these guys are in job preservation mode. And by making moves, you are exposing yourself to be axe because it is very easy to get fired in the world of the NHL. And sitting on the sidelines sometimes just buys you more time and you’re just kind of the guy who’s trying to maintain his position within NHL circles. It’s not as Sometimes guys aren’t really trying to make their team better. They’re trying to protect themselves, which is a dark underhanded uh side of this this thing, but it is true. And these are people that clip that clip. Damn. Wow. Damn. Ours, Jesse. There. There you go. No, that was really good. I I I thought I had a good one in the chamber cuz I was going to say not making a decision is a decision. You’re just sitting there going, “Oh, maybe things will correct them.” No, it’s a every, you know, I know you can’t just blow it up and make a trade every time you have a bad loss or whatever. And that seems emotional, but to me, you you make decisions with everything you do or don’t do. And by sitting there and not addressing something that very obviously needs to be dressed addressed too sweet, you are making the decision to keep your team bad. Tristan Jarry in eight games, by the way, is 6-2 with a 914 save percentage this year. Yeah, I’ll take that. Yeah, it’s not bad, right? Uh they also have Mirishov, who’s got a 913 save percentage in four games. Uh he’s 1-1 and one. And Cel Archer Sheil. Yes. Uh who has played the majority of their games 11. He’s 4-3 and four. You said that like the Grinch. Uh four. Yeah. 4-3 and four. 907 save percentage. So, uh he’s been pretty darn good. You know what? You know who could really use him right now? The Vancouver Conucks. They could really use him. Yeah. Steve Dangle here on the SCP YouTube channel. Stream is brought to you by Ballet Bet Sports Book and Casino. Click like, click subscribe, tell all your friends. You want to see something cool? I was given this picture. Wait, this little drawing. I’m trying to There you go. Not have the TV reflected in it. I got it framed recently. I had to order a 6×9 frame because who the hell sells a 6×9 frame? Uh, who gave me this? It’s on the back. There’s a note on the back. Thanks for all you do. Waking up to your videos is the best way to start my morning. Keep up the great work. And thanks for all the laughs from L and Caitlyn. It looks like reverse capital B and Colton. It could be Colton actually. Is it Ellen Colton? Well, I I appreciate it regardless. Okay, what does this say? That’s Colton. We need a vote in the chat. So, we think this is L and Colton. Drew says 100%. Where is it going on the wall? Great freaking question. Uh, I have too much stuff. Drew goes, “You should take mner down and put it there.” I’m not going to lie. Uh I keep meaning to take him down and I just don’t I could replace Mner with I have a Jonathan Bernier. I have a Joffrey Lup is actually about the right size. Bernier Yeah, Bernier I think would be too big. Do you want to put that on the screen, Drew? I don’t know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, we had an idea for something else we could put on the screen. We’re not going to do it, though. Um, Juan Sto’s really enjoying his off season. Uh, third period is about to begin. Leafs with 57 seconds of power play to start the third. Oliver Hecman Larson out there with the first unit. He will dump it in and the Penguins will Oh, what a catch from Matthews. Tvaris stopped by Jarry and the puck goes down the ice but not all the way down because of Oel. That was crazy from Austin. 30 seconds to go on this power play. Willie Ny down low for Willie. Penguins dump it. 20 seconds to go. Which bird team makes the playoffs, Ducks or Penguins? Smart money is on the Ducks right now, Natalie. Austin. Ah, his pass is off target. And that’ll do it for the power play step. Oh, nice. No shots on goal on that power play. McMahon Wah and it looks like Joshua’s going to come on for nice hillby to stature to who coughs it up. Leafs get it right back though off the glass and out. Uh this this clip uh after uh Stuart Skinner shut out is hilarious. Apparently the whole chat is yelling at me to take mner down. Like what right now? Oh big block from Wah. You know what? Next whistle I’ll take him down. I don’t care. Mike Schmidt 20 SDPN memberships. Gracias, Mr. Mike. Penguins 50 to1 to win this game at Ballet Bat Sports Book and Casino. As a Jets fan, what should my panic level be? Uh, here’s the problem with the Jets is there’s not much they can do about their current situation. You have the best goalie in the world and he’s hurt. The best you can do is find a band-aid solution. Oh, Lton, he had a good chance there. Blocked. Malcin. Oh, nice give and go. Backhand off target. Robertson starts the counterattack as his linemates go to change. That sucks. He spun back and no one was there. Dvaris is there. Shot off target. Out of play. 7:15 to go in the third. Uh, less than a thousand likes. Explain yourself. I agree. 1,500 of you in here under 800 likes. Click like. Oh, that was a whistle. Score more than four goals. Boo. I thought the breakup could be good for both parties and so far it turns out it’s been bad for both. Willie oh gets it to Cowan. Mermis Cowan shot blocked kept alive. And now here comes Danton Heinen to Ben Kendall. A shot stopped by Hildabby. Kindle again. I hate when the puck is on his stick. It’s behind the net. Carlson has it taken off him. Cowan to Willie. Partial twoon-one with Tvaris. Willie to Tvaris. Can’t get his stick on the pack. Tvarus spins fires. Can’t find Cowan. People are texting me who haven’t texted me in weeks or months tonight because the Leafs are playing so well. Here come the Pens. Two on two. It’s Crosby Latang. Latang walks in. That was a bit too easy. Stopped by the pad of Hill to be though. Doi dumps it. Jarry plays it, misplays it. He’s not a great puck handler. Matthews to Doy, puts it behind the net. Nice misre. Did I burp into the mic just now? I didn’t mean to. Rust. Oh, what a pass. And the Penguins score. Who else? Sid the used to be kid. 15th all time in NHL goals with that goal. Passing Dave Anderchuk. Gez, what happens there? I do hear the footsteps. Drew. Oh my god. Kevin Hayes. That’s a pretty nasty pass. But like how do you just OL just forgets Sid’s ex Sid exists for a minute there and you can’t really do that. Drew goes he only has 31 goals against Leaf. He would have more if he was in division. Obie Obie has 60 goals against the lease. No. 45 in 61 games on it. Malcolin I would imagine has more goals against Leafs than Sid. Malcin Crosby’s number two in the NHL behind Ovetkin. That surprises me because Malcin has murdered this team. Sid the middle-aged man. That hurts my feelings because he’s a year older than me. Malcin only 24 goals in 52 games, but he has 74 points, you said. Yeah, he’s he kills us. Here are the pens. Oh my god. Ass off target. Don’t just hold on, man. Uh, happiness is sinking uh up your stream and TV, says David Romano. Grati. Drew says, “If they blow this, would you do a Hellfire LFR?” I feel like if I do another Hellfire LFR, I’m going to burn the house down. Like, all it’s just been exclusively Hellfire LFRs, hasn’t it? That was a That was a tricky stop there for Hill to be Wther Spoon. There’s still almost 15 minutes to go. And oh, Malcolin was robbed. Did he put that wide or did Hillbe get a piece? Wow, that was unreal. Live odds. Penguins 25 to1. So that’s cut in half. Ballet Bet Sports Book and Casino if you’re interested. McCabe behind the net for Ster. He rushes it up the ice. He has Robertson with him, but he flubs it now. He’s trying to get back. Here come the Pens. It’s Kendall. It’s behind the Leafs net. Mermis pins his man. Lotton battling. Penguins walking the blue line. That’s blocked. Cowan does a good job getting it out from his bum. Robertson gets it deep. Pretty sure hockey psychology started the Sid the middle-aged man thing. Hockey psychology does great work, man. Now that you got that empty space from the marner. Oh god, sorry. I gotta re refresh. I’m having a beast tonight. Malcolm missed the net. Okay. Welcome to Hellfr. Uh, now that you got that empty space from Mara, replace it with Yanni Hawkenpaw for Maddie. Yeah, you’re not going to believe this. They don’t make Yanni Hawkenpaw figures as we’re in commercial break right now. Uh, wow. I think this game contains like three regular Leafs games worth of goals. You ain’t wrong. Uh Renimmon, I’m still mad at Mner for the behavior of his security detail. Way to play Mr. Nice Guy. Uh while his bulldog is out there talking spit. Listen, I said what I had to say about that. I’m done with it. Uh, I do think, you know, Marner has this cuddly reputation, but like, you know, for a few years, like publicly, I had to pretend that didn’t happen, right? And so, everyone still thinks that of him. It’s frustrating, but like he I I don’t know. There’s no hard feelings. Like he’s he’s sick. Um his security guy. I wish him no ill. I hope he gets better. I’m done talking about it. Drew, would I like to do a blind ranking? Yes, always. Arctic animals in honor of the penguins. We’re going to blind rank five Arctic animals. Snowy owl. Give me three. Oh, the beluga whale. That’s a two. Beluga whale. Big fan. Big fan. The puffin. Give me a four. So, all we got is one and five. This is risky. The Arctic fox five. The polar bear is one. I love the polar bear at one. I did the Arctic Fox dirty. I feel bad about that. But polar bear at one is clearly correct. Arctic fox does look pretty cool. And the way they hunt is fun. Chat, we are cooking. Says cool man Lanny. Philip Meyers doing side missions. Max Doy breaks it out. Breaks it in. Leaves it for Austin. Austin scores. Austin Matthews with an Austin Matthews wrist shot and an Austin Matthews goal. [Applause] There’s your boy. There’s your boy Doy with his second assist of the game. And man, that’s vintage. Austin. Gosh, that’s a great goal. God, that looks so pleasantly familiar. Oh. Oh, I’m so happy. And the Leafs take the 6-2 lead. Matthews 10th of the season. Matthews now nine goals behind Matt Sundine for the Leafs lead uh all time, which is hilarious because I’m pretty sure the Leaf’s alltime lead is 420. Crosby only how many points? Nine points behind Mario Lemieux for Penguins all-time lead. You know what’s crazy, Drew? Go look at the games play difference between Crosby and Lemieux. Lemieux played like I think it’s 916 games. And Crosby’s at like 1,500. Willie breaks that up in midair. Still in the leave zone, though. Cowan stripped by Dumba who jumps up in the play. Why not? You’re down four to the point on. That’s blocked. Penguins 90 to1 to win. Good. Chicken soup for the soul. I agree. Bow said, “I was in the bathroom again. You’re all welcome, but I hate everything. A 6-2 goal shouldn’t feel that big.” Well, I don’t care. I don’t care. Remember when I said we would win 73? Uhoh. Can we keep these Leafs? Yeah, that’d be nice. Joshua, Wah, and McMahon out there. They’ve had an excellent night tonight just heming the Penguins. Only momentarily though, here comes Kendall. Hands it off. Passing play. Oh boy. Stopped by Hill to be not covered up though. Nice play from Mermis. Now it’s the Penguins going to work. Kindle has Joshua all over him. 81 versus 81. Leafs get it out. It’s in the neutral zone as they try to change. Puck goes past Riley. A very good scoring chance broken up there. Carlson. Oh my goodness. dancing, hands it off in front. That’s deflected wide. 1040 to go in the third period. It’s 6-2. A wide open chance is stopped by Hilde. Robertson can’t get it to a friendly stick. Carlson. That’s stopped by Hilde. Hilde is having a great night. That’s save number 24 on 26 shots. Leafs get it out. Here comes Carlson again, though. It’s a threeon two that hits the side of the net off the glass and out. That’s probably going to be icing though. Don’t love that choice. 1009 to go in the third period. Uh Canada Matt, does this count as do something? It makes me happy, but no. So, there will be a time when Austin’s best season is 69 and he will have scored 420 as a Leaf. Sorry, I’ll see myself out. No, you’re right, James David Atinson. Oh dear. Oel is in the dressing room, but that’s not why I said oh dear. Did Kevin Hayes get hit in the head there with the puck? What happened? He’s smiling now. Matthews goal was a warm blanket for my soul. Oh, what on earth? Hayes like tripped and kicked the puck in midair. Oh, and Robertson wasn’t saying he’s hurt. He’s saying it was out of play. 10:01 to go in the third. Ecman Larson to the dressing room is awful news. Doy, good defensive play. Yeah, hopefully it’s nothing serious. Oh. Oh, Matthews almost scored a disgusting goal. Jarry with the save there. Matthews with like a a short side spin and fire wraparound. Oh boy. Matthews and Doy sure like playing with each other, don’t they? At a boy Max. What? Ecman Larson’s goal moved him into second all time for a point streak by a Leaf’s defenseman. So, the guy at the top of the list is 10 games played. Can I name them? It’s got to be someone stupid. Brian McCabe in like 06 was insane. He was so good. I mean, you would think Cabrilet, but if it’s someone stupid, Pavle Kubina, Tom Cervers. Ah, I should have had that. No, I shouldn’t have had that. You’re right. Anyway, a boy Drew Franen like Cody Franen had a nineame point streak. What? Oh, I’m learning stuff tonight. Uh, Heather sent five STP memberships. Thanks, you beauty. Leaf Hopstead. Favorite non-leaf game you’ve streamed. Oh. Oh my god. The Foreign Nation final. That was freaking awesome. Oh yeah. Game six Lightning A. Sorry, wrong answer. Yeah, my bad. Uh, my Pens Copium is at least they are still trying. You know, you’re not wrong. The US 11th Airborne in Alaska is the Arctic Angels. My buddy uh that was up there uses that name with Anchorage as his relocation team. We call them the AAA’s. Penguins get it deep. Nine and a half minutes to go in the third here. Leafs with a four-goal lead. Why are we all clenching? Hillbe with the save. 926 to go in the third. James David Atinson, so I can go to bed not angry tonight. Wouldn’t that be nice? Lton weird bounce there. Why was there a whistle? I think he might have thought Jake McCabe got a puck in the face, which I kind of thought also. The ref Oh, the ref even said, “Oh, that was my fault. Wah is out there with Lton and Joshua. Shot from the point is wide for the Penguins. Joshua dumps it. Wah collects. There’s McMahon. McMahon burns his man wide. One hands it on net. Stays with it. Gets it to Joshua on. That’s blocked. McMahon stays with it. Joshua ah loses it. Not Joshua. It’s Wah. Having Wah and Joshua screws me up so bad. And I have not gotten used to it at all all season. One-time stick shatters. And that pretty much sums up the Penguins night. Joshua. Ah, couldn’t get it to McMahon. He would have been alone. McMahon’s feet are going tonight. Pointed out by Craig Simpson. He He looks excellent. He can be such a factor for this lineup when he’s on. when he’s not on, he’s just like he’s not bad. He’s just a random man. Oh, Penguin’s way offside. But when he’s on, like, oh my god, what a factor. I haven’t seen him lose a north south foot race. He can shoot. He’s developed like a uh more of a like a he’s better at hunting pucks and winning battles than he used to be. And you know what? Okay, so that’s icing against Leaf. 757 to go in the third. It needs to be said with the exception of uh the penalty he took. Max Doi looks very good. Set up Nick Wah. Set up Austin Matthews. Two guys who really needed to score for different reasons. Matthews has not had enough of the puck and God bless Nick Robertson. He’s not the guy to get Austin the puck. I think he played well up there. Um but that’s not the fit. There’s Doy hunting a puck down. Austin gets it. Now the Leafs have ozone possession. Meyers wham that goes out of play. 728 to go in the third. James David Atinson for you. It’s not 3:00 a.m. though. I’ve watched every game. Oh my god. You’ve watched every game of this team this year from the UK. Tvarus ozone draw. Myers. Oh, that’s deflected just wide. He hasn’t looked bad tonight. Oh, never mind. Here we go. No. Okay. Hildabby with the glove save. Shut up, Steve. Maybe I should just not say anything until the game’s done. Tvaris gets it to Willie. One-on-one against Dumbo. Willie shoots. Stopped by Jarry. Stcher. Cowen gets it down the ice. That won’t be ice. Jarry leaves it for Dumba. Oh, steal from Robertson. Shoots. Scores. Wow. Robbie. Robbie was just about to skate off and Lorent just grabs him and goes, “No, no, no, no, no. You get back here. That was nasty.” That made it 72 and I don’t give a good gosh darn. And thank you, Drew goes, “Ryan Graves is sick.” That wasn’t Ryan Graves, though. That’s Dumba. No, it was Dumba. Even worse. 644 to go in the third. Sixth goal of the season for Robertson. It’s 72 Leafs. Did something just get thrown on the ice? A go Leafs go chant at PPG. And there’s a lot of empty seats. That shot goes wide. Can they pull Jarry? Who is this team? Uh, Penguins on the blue line. Oh, they get rid of it. Oh, Lton is hit kind of from behind. He didn’t like it. McCabe exchanging cross checks. And who was that? Mantha. Oh, it’s Malin. Malin’s not going to drop him. Those things are cemented on at this point in his career. Puck goes out of play. Just drop the gloves. Oh, Scott Lton is looking to go Malcolin. And they’re chucking. I don’t think the gloves are off, but they’re chucking now. They’re going after Lton. Oh, baby. Yeah, Gino is a pretty violent guy. Like his whole career, he’s been violent. Mantha with a brutal glove on punch to McCabe. There’s going to be some game misconducts here. Mantha should be out of the game. That was garbage. You can hear like each individual fan. That’s how many guys are gone. Lton is going to the box. My Leaf’s PTSD says the lead is not safe. Stop it. Is Lton the only guy going. Nah, you know, I I don’t have a problem with Lton not liking that. That was blindside from Malcolin and Lton’s already missed time this year due to a concussion. I in a 72 game. Yeah, he is. He’s just being an [ __ ] I don’t have a problem with Lton going after him at all. And if it wasn’t Gino Malin, you don’t even bother with the pleasantries. You just drop the gloves right away. Steve Dangle here on the SDP YouTube channel. This stream is brought to you by Ballet Bet Sportsbook and Casino. Click like, click subscribe, tell all your friends. Let’s see what we got for penalties here. So on the NHL website, Lton 2 minutes, Malcolin 2 minutes, Mantha 2 minutes, McCabe 2 minutes. Yeah, it’s about right. I don’t have a problem with that. Uh I would have had a problem with Lton getting the only penalty somehow. Gez, the NHL gets set up. Ricky tick, eh? The NHL website is awful and great. You just have to know like the little pockets of it. The alltime stats stuff on the NHL website is really good. Really good. basically helped me write a book. Um, so it’s roughing all around for all four. I saw that update in real time. That was fun. And now we’re back from commercial break. Joseph Wool smirking on the bench. He’s got to be like, where was this goal support for me? Shot attempts are 78 to 44 for the Penguins. Shots, actual shots on goal, 29 to 23. That’s not that off-kilter for like again this Leafs team with obviously the exception of tonight they just feel like a I mean they definitely feel like a worse version of last year’s Leafs where last year’s Leafs would get outshot they would get out attempted but in terms of chances it would usually be pretty even or the Leafs would have more like they would keep it to the outside you’d be flinging garbage wide and blocking and I mean for when was the last time what the Leafs had a fivegoal lead. I don’t think they’ve had one this season. Maybe in the first five games. I don’t think so. They beat Utah pretty good. I think that was 52. 5-3. Okay, there you go. Oh, they had seven against Nashville. See, I don’t even remember that. Nashville had four. Oel has not returned. So, that’s definitely concerning. Matthews to Doy. Doy. Ah, now you’re just trying stuff. Maxi tries the pass. Denies it doesn’t work. Here come the Penguin. Sid pass. connects with Hayes. Latang Crosby in front for Rust. That’s wide. See, that’s the sort of thing I’m talking about. Latang. Hayes to Sid in front. No one there. Leaves hemmed here. I mean, they’re up five. Sid, that’s broken up. No, it isn’t. Tvarus gets it and curls back. The Penguins have not The Leafs have not cleared. Get it out. There you go. He gets it out. They’re blowing tripping penalty. Who’s that going against? Against the Leafs. Oh, Javarus is arguing the call. There’s 331 to go. You have a fivegoal lead. What happened here? Oh, I guess. Yeah, he got Yeah, whatever. His stick got under Kindle’s feet. As a Panthers fan, I’m happy to see Steve stressfree for once. I am thankful for your effort and work you put in. Hope you do well. Thank you. It’s always from the people you least expect, right? Uh, where are all my Euro NHL Insomnia party friends? I want to hear that talking point of LFR. Prove this isn’t a fluke. I don’t hate that. Hildy with a save. How about Dennis Hillby, man? Like I know uh the Leafs open the floodgates offensively. Hilde’s had a great game. 305 to go in the third. Here comes Malcin. Leafs take it and fire it down the ice. A jar getting the Bronx cheer. I don’t like that. Malin. Three goalies have played in this game and Hillbe has allowed the fewest goals. I just want to point that out. Who gets the belt? Doy healthy scratch two assist night. I think it’s going to be doy. You are hill to be first win though and I think wool has the belt. Oh yeah. OEL nineame point streak. Well, not if he’s hurt. Yeah, that’s an interesting one. Penguins lose the zone. There’s a lot of candidates, right? I mean, they’re up 72. Yeah, Oel is a good candidate. I think Doy’s a really good candidate. Hillbe is a good candidate. Like, think of the guys who haven’t had the belt yet. Um, and who have had a good night. W had a great night. Joshua’s had a great night. I think I said McMahon. Yeah, Joshua. Oh, and it’s hockey fights cancer night. Good point, Drew. Yeah. Yeah, I don’t hate that. Also, it makes it hard for Buru to scratch him next game. Although he scored and he’s been great, I don’t think he’s at any risk. I’d be pretty surprised if there were any lineup changes for next game, barring an injury to Oel. If Oel is out, who’s the defenseman who comes in? Hopefully Ben’s back by then. Uh if he’s not, you have to call someone up. um Graves off the side of the net. My guess is Henry Thun. Henry Thun or William Villanovv. It might be Villanovv because Ecman Larson’s playing the right. When is the Leaf’s next game? 31.7 seconds to go in the third. Can the Leafs hold on to this 72 lead? Lorent gets it out. Kindle misses wide, which has been the theme all night for Pittsburgh. How many teams are the Leafs winning the season series against? It can’t be a ton. And the Leafs get another one against Penguins. It goes all the way down the ice. Don’t call this icing. They will not. 72 is your final. The Leafs pull it off. Who told the Leafs a hockey game is 60 minutes, not 40? I’d like to buy them a beer. Remember to donate to Movember. Uh mental health and physical health. Even when we win, all the Pens need to do is say Phil Kessle to get us again. That’s fair. didn’t watch the game. Can you sum it up in five words? The Leafs played well. One. Uh, every time I place a bet, I lose. So, tonight I bet $2 on the Penguins. You’re welcome. My condolences to your views on tonight’s LFR, but also I’m happy the Leafs aren’t in the Metro because oof, these two games have been awful. So wins typically don’t do that great, but 72 wins usually do. So we’ll see. Lease wins 72. Habs lose 72. It’s a good day. [Music] As I said, bro, in a good leafy way, says Cornelius. Is this Hner Ryan Singh on the call? Sorry, they I uh they switched to the Jets PRS game. The Jets are up 42. I’m turning this off so I don’t get distracted. Liv Morgan made her return at uh Survivor Series. I like Liv Morgan. I don’t know. WWE, I don’t know. They piss me off. I think the wrestlers are good. The wrestling the wrestlers do a good job, but like the company pisses me off if that makes sense. N had a two assist night, man. Like here, let me look because I remember earlier in the game I said Robertson was one of the only Leaf forwards who didn’t have a point. Well, he got one. This is incredible. So, Lorent, Lton, Tvaris were the only guys who didn’t get a point. Uh, only forwards who didn’t get a point. Doy nice. Wow. Doy, nice, Mermis, and Meyers were the only Leafs who weren’t a plus and they were even like this. They steamrolled them. Leafs steamrololled them. Doi had two assists. Uh, despite that, he wasn’t a plus. I believe at least one of his assists was on the power play. The W one, I think, was on the power play. They crushed him, man. Tvarus had five shots on goal somehow. Matthews had four. Matthews had a good game. Like, people are really down on him. I mean, he is the captain and the team looks awful tonight. They were awesome. Okay, without cheating, who led the Leafs in ice time? If Oh, Drew says McCabe. McCabe is a very good guess. McCabe was this guy’s defense partner tonight. It was uh Troy Stetcher. 23 minutes 52 seconds. What’s his careerh high plus three had an assist. That’s a great game. Riley led the way uh with 36 shifts, two assists, plus three. No one, not a one, had a bad night. And you just haven’t really been able to say that. Joshua had a goal plus two, two shots, two blocks, seven hits, all in under 13 minutes of ice time. McMahon had an assist plus two, three shots, a block in under 12 minutes of ice time. They had a great game and like what were the final shots? 35 to 23. But the Penguins had the last six shots of the game because we know it was 29 to 23 when we were talking about it. They had the last six shots in a five-goal game. So, I don’t really put anything on that at all. Leafs blocked 26 shots tonight. Got the Penguins to miss a ton. Goodness gracious, Drew. This might be a 45minute LFR, so I can just savor it. Drew just goes, “Please don’t.” Uh, turns out what they need is for Steve to start the stream with I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed energy. Caps fan watched every LFR since Cap’s Cup Check. Wow. It’s 2018. Hot damn. That might have been the first year I did Cup Check. I think it was. That’s where I do LFR for the Stanley Cup final. Uh, amazing what a complete effort can accomplish. There’s no excuse for them not to play like that every single night. I mean, play defense, work hard, win battles, connect passes. They’ve moved from 14th in the Eastern Conference to 14th. You’re an [ __ ] Um, but they’re tied with Okay, the Leafs 15th to 15. No, they’re tied for 14th. Well, I guess they lose the tiebreaker. The Leafs being bad this season has obviously been a huge story. When are we going to start talking about the Panthers, man? The Leafs just I know they’re missing Kachchuck and Barkov, but like they’re going to miss Barkov all year. Kachchuck’s not coming back soon. I yeah, like I understand the excuse, but like at some point you’re in danger here. They’re 14th in the East. You know, a minus two goal differential. It’s not that bad. You know, all the Panthers have to do is get in. They don’t care. The Habs are second in the Atlantic. They have a minus five goal differential. The East stinks, man. Uh, by the way, beating Pittsburgh is especially important because they are tied for the last wildcard spot. Three-way tie. Flyers, actually, top wild card spot. Flyers, Penguins, and Islanders all tied with 29 points a piece. Leafs now four points back of them. like have a good week. Have a good week for God’s sake and start leapfrogging some teams. Columbus is right there. Detroit is right there. The Rangers are right there. The Bruins are right there. Yeah. One three-game winning streak. You’re in the playoffs. You know, obviously depending on what happens leaguewide. So, let’s look at the next few games and then I’ll go shoot my 45minute LFR. For any producers who are listening, that’s a joke. Um, so obviously they have tomorrow off Florida. I mean, that’s all of a sudden a big game for both of them on the road in Florida on Tuesday. Carolina is a big test on Thursday. And then wow, you have a fivegame home stand, but oh boy, there’s some pretty interesting games in there. There’s the Habs, who killed you last time you played them. There’s the Lightning, who are first in the Atlantic. Wouldn’t hurt you to send a message there. There’s the Sharks who are much better this year and for whatever reason have had your number. Hockey night against the Oilers. Two real high expectation but struggling teams. And it ends with the Blackhawks, a team who beat you last time you played. I mean, you don’t get to take any games off, man. And the next time the Leafs play the Penguins, December 23rd at 4:00 at home in Toronto, and I believe I’ll be there. Remember I said I would never pay to watch this team? Yeah, I said that uh forgetting that my wife had already bought tickets to that game. Uh, it’s fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Leo. Oh, no. No. Uh, no. We’re going to the Penguins game on the on the 23rd. Yeah. I know what game you’re talking about. The uh the 23rd game is usually like the next gen game, but they kind of got away from like labeling it. Um, January, there it is. It’s at 1:30 25th at home. By the way, this is like the biggest missed opportunity scheduling wise in the NHL. Uh, Leafs Marner returns home Friday night. Saturday, they don’t play, followed by a 1:30 Sunday game against Colorado. Who the hell? How dare you, Drew? Wow. Drew goes, “We should bring Leo so we can see what a real team looks like. I’ll get him an ABS jersey and everything.” Well, I’m going to end the stream here so Drew and I can have a fist fight right here, right now. Uh, don’t know how I feel. Never been on this side of a lopsided win. Yes, you have. You just forget. Goodness gracious. Great balls of fire. This is not going to be my lowest rated LFR of the season. It might be. Well, I’ll try to get it up fast then. Uh, ladies and gentlemen, after I was so cranky pants to start, what a lovely night.

Thete you go
needed a statement game like this
The fact we're talking about "vintage Matthews" at his current age, shows why we need to trade him. I'm pretty sure he'd perma injured.
10:13 Oh ye of little faith How long do I have to deal with u? Looks like the Man upstairs is a one night Leafs fan. Just like "Ok I got to give him one."
1:44:34 Wait what's that about EDGE????? Hes in AEW NO? (comments DONT SPOIL WATCHING IMMEDIATELY AT 5 10 AM
