If you thought there was panic in Toronto before this game... they are losing with an emergency goalie in the Carolina net.  The guy is a 42 year old Zambini driver and is outplaying their starting goalie.

 

If they can’t score on him and win, Leafs Nation is going to blow their brains out.

 

hahahahaha

Haven’t watched this. Don’t know if I want to. Dangle might be the worst “hockey voice” around. Grating.

This is one of those great sports moments and one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

If it wasn't the Leafs it wouldn't be half as funny.

The detail I love here is that he is the Zamboni driver for the Marlies.  A hometown Toronto guy.

They were out searching for a backup all year and who knew he was already in the organization.

Outside of the Canucks that game was the hilite of the season for me. That media in the East pumping that team day after day. The stories they write, the accolades put on Dubas, he can do no wrong. My grin was so big last night I had to rearrange my furniture.

I’ve always been a hockey fan first. Don’t care who makes the playoffs, who wins the Cup, who wins a game. I just want entertainment.

 

Last night not only provided entertainment for the game, but provides entertainment for the rest of the season. If the Leafs miss the playoffs by a single point, they’ll point to this game as to why. And it’ll be hilarious.
 

And the only way last night becomes entertaining is because it happened to the Leafs. Again, I like their team, just like any team. But the media coverage they get and the ridiculous expectations placed on them by the media and their massive fan base makes it happening to them so good. If the same thing happens to Florida, or Los Angeles, or the Wings, it’s not newsworthy; at least, not like it is now :lol:

This is ammunition that Leafs fans will have to endure for a long time. 

 

Normally i just check the early HIC games to check scores. Not yesterday. 

 

I'm still getting over the fact I watched a whole Leafs game out side the Canucks being involved. 

 

What a game to catch. When the last Carolina goalie went down and the reality of some non NHL goalie was coming in I thought well let see how many they score on this guy. Especially when he let in his first 2 shots. Who didn't think that Toronto was going to get a much needed win and rack up the goals? I sure did, who wouldn't? As we know that didn't happen. 

 

The Goal tending story was front and center but we all know that wasn't the real story.

 

Carolina galvanized as a team. They totally shut the Leafs down on a night when Toronto had a scoring opportunity equal to that of having the man advantage for the rest of the game with a walk on in the oppositions goal.

 

That was a historically epic collapse. All the usual game loss one liners. "We gotta be better',  "this one's on me". I'm sure they'll have a players only meeting. 

 

Vancouver and Toronto have similar records but totally different feels. 

 

I'm looking back to the firing of Mike Babcock. I remember what Babcock was preaching to his team and in the players eyes he was mean. Mike knew. 

 

Then they bring in this guy from the Marlies and the Leafs took off. Then they really haven't have they? Last nights performance should reflect on the coach as much as it does the players. This was a disaster. If they did indeed cook up a strategy for the third period they failed to remotely execute anything for they were shut down and the back up goalie actually gained confidence and hung in there. I still can't get over the fact the Leafs didn't capitalize on the greenness of the player and the fact it was in front of a packed crowd. It was a flop show.

 

What's Kyle Dubas going to do now? The wonder kid GM and mid-season coach don't look to great right now. 

 

This was a sweet night for Leafs haters like myself. 

 

It was a sweet hockey night, 2 back to back highly entertaining hockey games.

 

(note: if I'm repeating earlier posts so be it, I never read them all. )

This fan reaction says it all:

 

I’ve watched a total of 3 Dangle videos. Decided this would be the 3rd.

 

What’s depressing is that people in Toronto and media take this guy seriously. As he clearly has zero qualifications to be taken seriously. Not saying media is any better. However, as much as I dislike Jamie McLennan, Jeff O’Neill, Kelly Rhudy, etc, they are all ex hockey players, who at least have more hockey knowledge and know what it’s like in an NHL locker room. And guys like Friedman and MacKenzie have put in decades to earn trust from the public to backup their knowledge.

 

Nothing against YouTube and Podcast “stars”, but with the energy and youth that “Dangle” brings, use your real last name for any shred of credibility going forward by the way, his audience should only be those between the ages of 15 to 16 years old. The fact he comes up on the SN app is humorous in a sad, way.

The fact he was actually put in a commercial (and presumably paid for it) is ridiculous. Who cares about this guy?
