Steve hanged is one of the greatest personalities of All sports And Wednesday evening, he reminded us of everything.
Its beloved leafs, which have not won a Stanley Cup since its birth and many years ago (1967), have lost the biggest match of their season. After taking an advance of 2-0 in the second round against the Florida panthers and resembling shoo-ins to qualify for the final of the Eastern Conference, they dropped their next two games to the title champions of the Stanley Cup. Toronto needed to have a huge decline in match 5 to recover control of the series.
Instead, Mitch Marner did what an apoplectic peloton described as a “rotary hand” and the leafs lost 6-1. Six goals to one. Leafs players hooked the ice with their fans of their home – finally, in the second period (most fans had already left before the end of the third). And that’s what their apathetic performance did to Steve.
Dangle, the author of the popular hockey book “This team ruined my life (but I still love them)”, was still smoking after his live “Watch-Along” flow last night.
His video summary of the game for the Podcast Steve Dangle network (follow here) was also full of noisy noises.
The hanging began to shout and pronounce blasphemies for 33 seconds (0:23 at 0:56). Then he cut a hilarious and sarcastic promo for the “Fantasy Stars” application, where he ended up throwing more on Mitch Marner.
“The best thing you can say about this game is that it’s over,” said Dangle, starting his match 5 analysis.
In the end, however, Dangle found a semblance of optimism, watching match 6 to bring Bank Arena.
“The leafs are the basis of the refuge for ideal dogs because they have absolutely no more dogs,” he said. “I can’t believe we are still there. I cannot believe that the leafs have the same pre-cooked problems. I cannot believe that the leafs have the same problems as they have had … You know what … It’s not the funeral. It is not the praise of Florida. And extend your season by beating Stanley cup in their barn. in your team.
I have the impression that Steve is in the same place as me in 2017 when the capital lost against Pittsburgh’s Penguins in the second round of the playoffs for the second consecutive year. I was then at the beginning of the thirties, and I felt like I never see the capital winning the Stanley Cup or beat the Penguins in the playoffs – Never. As all my hope had disappeared. The caps had been victorious of the presidents trophy two consecutive years and the two seasons, they were eliminated by the pens, a team that I thought better than. Then, I had to hear on television how much a leader and the interpreter of the Sidney Crosby qualifiers was better than Alex Ovechkin. Looking at a hated rival to continue winning consecutive championships after defeating your favorite team is difficult to Malenter.
In my head, I went: “Why do I do this for myself?” It will never happen. Why do I devote my life to this team? ” I could as well do exercise and look good again and spend time with my friends and sleep before 3 am and enjoy life instead of feeling this constant fatigue. What is the interest of this?
Fortunately, I continued. The following year, the capital won the Stanley Cup and I cried like a baby. All the pain I have felt since I was a little boy made that night, they raised the cup as special as to see my son born. I had no control of my emotions. It was the most wonderful summer of my life, especially being able to share it with Ethan.
I believe that the leafs will one day spend on this bump. That for many of these players who live this sorrow and this sorrow, these are the lessons they have to learn. It is the pressure they must understand and overcome before they can become champions. And when this day will happen, I will be the happiest guy in the world for Steve. Not only because he is my friend, but because he has so courageously put his emotions there so that we can enjoy it over the years.
We laugh at his frustration now, but over time, we will cry with happiness with him when it will finally happen. And who knows – it could always end up being this year.
