Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 4:02Steve questions whether Toronto's roster can keep the team in playoff contention.
- 9:03He attributes early goals against to defensive breakdowns and inadequate saves from Bobrovsky.
- 12:17He challenges McKenna's benching after a turnover and Hiller's line combinations.
- 14:47He examines the penalties from a scrum involving Xhekaj, Stecher and Blueger.
- 20:00Toronto's passing during a late six-on-four advantage prompts repeated demands to shoot.
- 25:48Steve argues that resold Leafs tickets helped Montreal supporters fill the building.
A late two-man advantage should give Steve Dangle something to work with. Instead, Toronto keeps passing, the clock keeps running, and he reaches the simplest possible instruction: "Look and shoot! What?!"
"LFR20 - Game 18 - Truthache - Canadiens 4, Maple Leafs 2" was the most watched of his six uploads this week, reaching roughly 130,000 views before its first day was over. It is also comfortably the channel's busiest video right now.
The frustration isn't confined to that final opportunity. Steve questions Sergei Bobrovsky's saves, Jim Hiller's forward combinations and the decision to bench Gavin McKenna after a turnover. He credits Montreal goaltender Jacob Fowler for shutting down chances at the other end. A sponsored rake-attachment segment supplies an unusually domestic interruption to the hockey analysis.
The comments have their own postgame discussion: several viewers propose "Bobbing For Apples" as an alternative title, while others challenge Steve's interpretation of the Arber Xhekaj scrum and its penalties. That follows another officiating-centered recap, "LFR20 - Game 17 - Jobbed - Mammoth 3, Maple Leafs 2," whose description asks viewers about the Darren Raddysh call.
The channel added a thousand subscribers over the week, although daily views are below their usual pace. Among nearby sports channels, Trew Crew had a larger weekly audience, while Hockey Tutorial had a quieter week.
Before the latest dissection gets going, Steve also thanks viewers for their Easter Seals Ontario fundraising at the Eric Lindros Celebrity Hockey Classic. There is room in an LFR for something other than a Leafs grievance.
