What exactly is Sammi talking about when he says bad things are happening all the time as evidenced by the news? Things have been a lot better recently, unless you have the liberal party of Canada as your government, but that's not a new problem.
Kyper’s fake outrage is so transparent. So desperate for rage bait and views. I speak to the sane majority, 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 Kyper. You’re truly a whacked out weirdo.
the Samifesto episode
Chill the hell out Kyper! Big loud mouth, you always have to be right! Always need to scream over the other 2. You’re jealous of Willy; he’s talented and you weren’t; oh no, it’s all about what he’s wearing or not wearing!! 🤦♀️ it was a stupid joke, dumb yes, a crime NO!
Avs fan here. But I feel for you. You're in that "purgatory" place….not bad enough to rebuild but down enough off whatever window you had. Leafs needs to change things, now. Won't be easy. Toronto deserves better. As for leaders, chemistry, etc, I look at the Avs. They have several drivers: Yes, Nate is intense, but he's not alone. Landeskog is a quality leader; it's clear guys look up to him. And so is Toews. Not coincidental the Avs resurgence came when Landy came back, and also not coincidental we've lost games since both he and Toews went down. Makar leads by example (like Sakic did)…effort + skill. I've noticed that when they have a bad game, there's intensity..sometimes angry intensity the next. Unfortunately for you, you caught a little of that on Sunday (Avs were bad against the Flyers Friday). But here's the thing: Leadership and chemistry comes mostly from success. It's a catch-22. Good luck.
God forbid you talk about the murders in Minnesota…
LAUGHTON IN – MATTHEW OUT
Kyper and Justin
I guess the chance are going to read this is slim but I hope you do.
Sammy, if I were to listen to your commentary without watching your live stream, I might mistakenly think you are a ten-year-old fans of the Leafs. As Kyper aptly pointed out, a "soft sell" represents the most dumbest strategy; we have observed Auston Matthews for the past decade, and he has conclusively demonstrated that he is not the player who can consistently compete at the highest level or be a game-changer, much like Mitch Marner and William Nylander. They function more as one of the top supporting characters in a film rather than leading stars.
An effective management team should not merely continue to change the peripheral components of their racing cars; they need to overhaul the engine entirely. While the process may be painful for five years, it is a more prudent option than prolonging a situation where the values of players 34 and 88 diminish to nothing. Since 34 & 88 doesn’t consider Toronto as their home , when the team announced a full rebuild, I guarantee they will remove their no trade clause for going to the US cities , especially watching Mitch having fun a Vegas.
Laughton and OEL are the only two veterans worth retaining as the organization embarks on this rebuilding phase; players 34 and 88 should be the ones to go.
its painfully obvious who has the moral code …….not Some child with a speech impediment and an aging hipster doofus
Kypreos takes on things, are all personal, never close to the facts.
Kyper takes so much more pride in the TML than most of the players and staff….God is he right in this one!
11 mil a year and national attention with kids looking up to him, shame on you William. I'm frustrated but im all smiles while i "apologize'" thats a joke. Any GM any coach thaat keeps him in the blue sweater should be ashamed just as much as William. No class or respect even for himself and it shows. Anyone who can even defend him right now has scoliosis or no spine. Toronto….grow up.
Kyper, you're being condescending to Sam. Allow him to speak his side of the experience. He's not wrong, you can't tell him his feelings are wrong.
This team is winning the cup
Nylander bird conversation: Kyper "do you think you're going to win with this guy" Bourne: "what do you want to do, trade him",,,,,, I say yes! You are never winning with Nylander. He just doesn't get it.
“Doesn’t sound light” 😂😂😂 JB 😅🤣
I think honestly Willy is just tired of the camera on him in the press box. They hardly show the press box and for some reason it stayed on them extra long… like uncomfortably long. I was wondering why they weren't changing cameras and then Willy did that. I blame the producers it's like they're antagonizing him. He gets so much criticism even when he's not on the ice, people make such a big deal that he wore a tank top in the press box, l've never seen any player being scrutinized so much in the press box as him. And that’s not all. He's probably sick of it. He's injured and going through it enough, the last thing he needs is the camera focused on him so much like that when he's not on the ice and trying to heal.
Kyper is 2000% right about Nylander. No class. No leadership. No maturity. No respect.
They need Hildabeast!!!!!
I've said it before and I will say it again – not picking Sam Bennet for team Canada is the DUMBEST decision ever made. Period.
The “uh, doesn’t matter” about Willy is the exact reason our country is falling apart
Bourne it’s about being a class act you dolt.
Absolutely NOT!!!!!!!!!!
I was the guy Sammy flipped off in his car. I was besides myself. The nerve of him. I`ll never be the same……
My question is why would anybody want to stay there based on the toxicity? I’d be waiving my NMC with a few exceptions on where I’m going.
I rather them not try and make it. Just going to heartbreak toronto fan base again
Whomever is clipping your show for YouTube should get rid of the 10 minutes of Dead air at the beginning or you're gonna lose viewers
How is John Tavares not Captain material? You guys just turned on him for the contract he signed…
This show would be a joke without Kyper
Kyper lays it on the line.
The Boys get to the bottom of things
You guys get alot of comments. Its all you need
3 months ago stolar tellin us all how bad the team is, he comes back and they still suck.
Must be a nightmare for today’s coaches trying to motivate these spoiled millionaires like Matthews and Nylander.
Kip you breath blue air enough of propping up shallow personal😅
