the steve dangle podcast with your host steve dangle adam wild and jesse blake
episode two of the leafs all or nothing amazon reaction and so so obviously a-o-n-f-r
that's not what it's called at all it should be aonfr for sure it rolls right off the tongue
you know i sdp so this is episode two and it will talk about episode two of the series um obviously
if you haven't seen episode two you might want to watch it first or you can listen to us and then
watch it whatever whatever floats your boat doesn't matter but we will have three more episodes of
this released uh tomorrow the next day and the day after that just so you know when these things
are coming out and let's talk about this so it's obviously the fallout from the leafs and sends
collapse the leafs blow a five to one lead and uh not pretty and not pleasant and all the same
reasons that sheldon keith talks about in the first episode yep which continues again and again
and again we'll keep coming back to this it's and he says it perfectly in the series we get up and
the game should be over but it never is and the one of the first scenes you see actually is um
the the two sides of i think what it's like to work for or with however you'd like to characterize
it dubas and keep kyle dubas yes bringing ilya mikhail into the into his ugly blue office he's
wearing a lovely cardigan again take a shot and uh and ilya mikhail and kyle dubas talking about
you know his place on the team and his role and obviously you can tell mikhail wants to score
right he wants to score more he wants to be a part of the offense it's it's it's a reminder
it's a reminder that everyone in the nhl is great every like they all were the top scorer
in their league right yes like he was he was one of the top scorers on his team i can't remember
which one um okay i think it was avant-garde in the k he was one of the top players and that's
what earned him a contract and i remember there was talk about remember babcock took him out to
breakfast and he took took him to some like bizarre thing and then in rexdale like eggs
expectations right next to the practice facility or whatever it's called and uh i've been there
it's nice and um you know oh he's gonna play on the top line with matthews and i think it was
kneelander at the time so it's gonna be mckay of matthews kneelander and but then he finds this
niche as this sort of third line speedy penalty killer low offense but really responsible guy
and what i thought was interesting about that is we recently discussed on our show how he's
supposedly requested a trade because of his lack of ice time and then we see this episode and we're
clobbered with that exact issue that has obviously been a problem of his for months like months and
months now nearly a year yeah because that clip is from what february ish and relatively early
remember i said it didn't make sense i'm like why does he want to get traded remember we talked
about on the show it's because he's been complaining since february and nothing's really
been done because since then he's still been in and out of the lineup that's your role like come
on what's the problem and but he doesn't see it that way no he wants some consistency to put up
some numbers he just wants to be every day on the ice and i want you to extrapolate this too because
that's just mckay there are 25 26 other guys who roll through this roster um taxi squad and
otherwise who all feel the same way i want more ice time i want to score more all of them and
it it definitely contextualizes our conversation about him because he asked for a trade after the
season and i talked about it as well yeah he's heading into a contract year so he has to score
this upcoming year because it's a contract year but no fresh off of signing a two-year contract
worth over three million dollars total it's not a money thing he just wants to score he knows he's
contributing he just well i actually i don't know if he does i don't know if he feels that way and
I think Kyle's trying to build them up and say, you are contributing.
This is the role we want you to play.
It was interesting that that's how Kyle context it.
You know, he was trying to build them up and to be like, you are doing stuff with this
role instead of being like, oh, no, we need you to do more.
He was like, you're doing enough.
Like, we like you and just stay comfy in this role.
Good cop.
Yeah.

In the middle of periods, and this is
man the intensity of playing and coaching and doing whatever in the nhl is crazy so they have
a video room that's got more televisions than the back end of a tv studio like if you've ever seen
the control of a tv studio there's like 40 televisions and i think the leafs have more
can confirm it it's crazy and so they bring them in and and you hear keith say the assistant coach
said mckay evan and if and you know between periods you get what 15 minutes to just chill
you know that that's cutting into his chill time number one right his break like his breather right
between periods number two if the coach wants to see you it's probably not good what the what
caught me about that i'm trying to remember if this was mckay ever not i'm pretty sure it was
keith was like walking through and he asked for him and he knew his route so he's like if he's
trying to or i thought the implication was maybe i'm just right if he's trying to avoid it no no
no no this is the way he walks in you cut him off and bring him to me that's what he said that's
really interesting that you picked up on that so he's not getting out of this and all it was was a
10 second meeting you see this i don't want to see this i want to see this that's it over and done
and that's that's why you're not scoring that's why you're not generating offense that's why you
don't have the puck so you're seeing two very different views of the situation it's sort of
like the austin on defense um conflict from the previous episode mccabe's like i'm being played
in this role this is why i'm not generating offense dubas i mean not dubas sorry keith
then bust out a tv and he goes this right here this is why you're not generating offense
after getting built up and everything oh that's a tough one right oh that's a tough one yes this
is the this is the tough thing about being a head coach you're a bad cop all the time you're a bad
cop and and it's a first place team right he doesn't need to do this but but keith is in such
a unique position because we all viewed him as good cop when he came in and maybe he was because
he was coming into a completely different scenario but their confidence wasn't there right their
confidence wasn't there and this this season also begins after his first training camp right as head
coach you forget that this this is his first full season it wasn't even a full season right this
upcoming season will be his first full camp first full season right how unbelievable is that so now
you know we talked about establishing precedence last episode now he's got eight preseason games
to do that establish precedence for the season and a camp preceding that and if you were at
rookie camp i'm gonna yell at you about this and that and if you're screwing up in the middle of a
game i'm gonna bring you in and curse you out about this and that so now he's bad cop and there's
a role like it's bad cop doesn't mean wrong doesn't mean jerk um but now other people have
to play the role of good cop dubas has stepped in and been one and i'm sure the assistant coaches
uh have as as well you have to i mean if all you're doing is getting criticized they're
gonna hate you for it i'm i'm just i'm sitting here waiting until we can talk about dubas's kid
oh well that is the next thing obviously there's the drake montage and then there's dubas's kid
and i what i loved about that was he's like on the ice and teaching him how to play hockey and
also quizzing him on when the least win the and counting the banners yeah oh what year is that
no try again try yeah you didn't get it right leo no cardigan for you this christmas yeah but
that's how i'm gonna treat my leo like no to get it right they won in 64 and who scored that who
scored the game winner in game six bond that was game seven i'm talking about game six no i'm
kidding you've got the right answer i'm in this scenario i'm guessing leo you're berating your
child but yes until he gets it right bad cop that's how you learn adam can come in and be
good cop if he wants uncle adam uncle jesse can come in too but um and it's heartbreaking because
of the way we know the season ended but i liked if we win we get a new banner yeah and i was like
oh that's so cute and i wish i didn't know what i know i thought i think it's it's it's a cool
inside look that when you are the gm of the toronto maple leafs you get access to things like
professional ice you can you know just hit the ice with your kid with your kid and your family
like that that's a cool little perk very cool yeah very cool and i'm glad he takes advantage
of that yeah right i think you need to that's the thing right if you're gonna have an office that
ugly you should at least be able to use the ice you get something yeah yeah is your office up
there uh yeah yeah it's a closet his favorite thing is the banners daddy can't see those from
his office can they move one of the banners into the office to make it prettier i think
the office is fine
like I don't know
what you guys see
I'm so uncomfortable
also you can only see
like half
you can only see
like half of the office
I assume it's ginormous
right
okay here's what I'll say
we're an independently
produced podcast
our office is nice
than Kyle Dubas' office
that's untrue
that is very true
that's untrue
we don't have a beautiful
board with everybody's
salary cap on it
yeah we should have
magnets with everybody
put Steve on the
fourth line
can we do that
zero dollars
why don't we do that
I think we should do that
yeah we should
I want to have the
roster in front of me i like that we're on to something we could do that yeah we could
uh steal it uh now let's steal what i so i want to steal their idea so we get into the freddie
and muzzin injuries right freddie's been struggling with all season and and obviously
jake muzzin uh puck to the face uh oh my god which is crazy it's like oh and i forgot about
that he just broke a bone in his face i forgot that injury happened too and what was crazy to
me and but i'm just i'll let you jump in just a second what's crazy to me about that whole thing
is they they show those two and they show the traders talking about it and then they show the
injury ward which is nicer than dubas's office and it looks like an emergency room with joe in
there with the thing and and wayne and there's a few other guys wayne has a bone stimulator on his
wrist yes and i just want to say life i just want to say if you're a regular person and you fracture
your wrist you're not getting the the bone stimulator on your wrist it grows actual bone
I wonder how many sports fans have suffered an injury and been like, ah, four to six weeks.
No worries.
It's not four to six weeks for you.
The access to the world-class medical care that these guys have.
Because the whole thing about sports is your body.
That's literally your job is your body.
So that's where all the money is gone.
And it comes up with things like a bone stimulator.
Electrify your bones.
It blew my mind watching it.
And, and honestly, it like, again, these guys are like triaging these hockey injuries.
Yeah.
Like there's, there's two or three doctors in there and there's seven or eight players.
In between periods.
Like aggressively injured.
And you gotta be good.
You got, because, uh, I've, I've told the story before.
Luke Shen has the, the, the cut on the bridge of his nose that we talked about, um, in previous
episodes that you need to get on TV, but his keeps opening because when he was in junior,
someone stitched him up improperly.
properly oh it opens really easily because it was stitched so they can't fix it now i'm sure
they could like once he's with a laser it's probably not worth it like like guys with
missing teeth yeah and stuff like that remember do you remember dave manson when he played for
the leafs and he could only whisper because he'd been hit with the puck in his larynx
and to fix it yeah so he used to do interviews and he'd be talking like this oh i don't remember
that at all couldn't speak and so he uh when he was playing with the leafs and he was like a hard
hitting defenseman rugged guy right he was an animal so when they i guess what i remember the
interview being at the time i think was on hockey night was that um he couldn't get it fixed until
his career was over because what if you do it once you can never do it again however they were
going to fix it so at that time 20 years ago that would have been the only opportunity he would have
had to fix it so he wanted to finish his career so imagine this guy's like whispering for years
so he could play some more hockey
and then get his voice back.
Holy cow.
Isn't that crazy?
Crazy.
That's unbelievable.
Yeah, and I'm surprised you don't know that story
because you're like Leafs encyclopedia.
I do now.
But yeah, so you see them triaging this
and you see how important it is to the team,
you know, to have Freddie healthy.
And I think we sort of,
because later on, we'll get to this,
Jack goes on his winning streak.
We forgot how precarious
that goaltending situation really was.
like freddie would be hurt jack would step in jack would get hurt freddie freddie would return
and also no no don't forget hutch hutch during the the edmonton three game winning streak it
was three different goalies yes his reputation from the previous season uh is almost unfair at
this point like he had i don't know a bad game maybe two this past season he was really good
you got a shutout in that three game series with the oilers that was cool yeah like he was there
I was actually at the game once when he had a shutout.
His first game with the Leafs against Vancouver.
5-0.
And everybody stood up and gave him a standing ovation.
It was cool.
A lot of goalies have come in and had a really good debut with the Leafs.
It's tough to play goal here.
It really is because a lot is expected of you.
Jesse, I'm time checking you.
What are we at?
We got like 15 minutes left.
Right.
Okay.
So let's get into the Jimmy Vesey story.
Well, did you want to do a little bit more on the Muzzin thing?
Oh, sure.
Well, I remember.
No, I don't.
I'm kidding.
first of all it illustrates how nails he is and immediately it brought back memories of roman
polak who in a lost season garbage piece of crap nothing to play for a season polak took a puck to
the face similarly to uh muzzin i think he uh muzzin actually took a stick but it still broke
uh the bone uh polak returns to the game though with this grotesque monstrous face i guess because
they're like well yeah it's really swollen but it's not broken he's like all right cool i'll
get back out there so but um that that injury was actually debilitating for muzzin in a way
because the the fishbowl he had to wear he would lose the puck in his feet yes and that was a that
was i remember a big storyline um just wait till he gets the fishbowl off yeah because you know
every mistake he would make you would sort of give him the mulligan of yeah but he cannot see
the puck. I also would say too, like, cause these are, you know, it's the edge of a knife when
you're playing pro hockey, right? That one little mistake and that's everything. And it's so blown
up, right? Like he, you might mishandle the puck once and it's all anybody's talking about. And
frankly, teams can capitalize on it like that. That's why it's pro hockey. So, uh, and, and
Muzz is not exactly known for being fleet of foot. He's good handler, but he's not, he's not the guy
that's going to blow past you on the ice anyway. So anyway, I, I. Two in five Canadians will hear

A&W locations in Ontario
i want to talk about jimmy vc because this to me is one of the most as much as jimmy vc story
didn't play too much of a story into what the leafs did last year i think the jimmy vc story
is interesting because of what they show and the most one of the most poignant scenes of the entire
documentary for me is is jimmy bc sitting down with dubas and they're talking you know they
talk a little bit about throughout the episode while you you know we need you to grab a spot
we need you to step up this is you know you're 27 years old and you know he's he's facetiming
his family and stuff like that at the beginning and you get to know the guy a little bit and then
and then keith on the ice going i haven't seen it you need a thing can i can i read the quote
i wrote it down because uh i thought it was so important keith says we brought you here with a
good opportunity and i want you to know it's been very vanilla you gotta find something that's going
to be your thing and vc's response was what you're telling me is that you don't know what my game is
or you don't like it and i'm gonna be out soon that's the that's one after the other that's his
response to his coach telling him that you need a thing and you've been very vanilla i thought
The guy who began his season with Tavares and Nylander and scored in the first game.
I think that's it.
I think.
I don't think it's a great attitude.
I was going to say, what a poor attitude.
It's, you know, sometimes like we do a lot of talking on the show.
And I.
It's all we do.
Talk show.
It's all we do.
You might say that's our job.
And I painstakingly in the moment try to get it right.
And I spend the whole drive home thinking, did I get it right?
and before i go to bed at night i'm like did i get it right and sometimes sometimes i fail and we
fail it's going to happen um we say a lot of things about this team and i'm like are we
are we extrapolating are we talking about something that's just not there and jimmy vc's
whole story with the leafs is something we and this entire fan base nailed nailed he didn't
have a thing what do you do here yeah and and and keith was not asking him to go out and score a
thousand goals just do go if you want to be a puck getter go be that guy if you want to just
play hard be a play hard guy throw a hit throw a hit in someone's face do something yeah the puck's
not always gonna go in you're like yeah yeah the puck's and then i think later in the episode they
show him i think it was a game against the canucks and he was with spezza and they clicked
and he scored and he's happy because goals are his oxygen right but it's it's empty calorie stuff
yeah it's it's always good when you score you but you're not the goal guy on this team yes just
because he scored did not mean he found success or his thing and it goes to the theme of the season
And it goes to Keefe's message of establishing an identity.
And the team needed to establish a Stanley Cup identity.
And all Vesey had to do was establish any identity, and he couldn't do it.
He couldn't do it, or didn't want to.
And Dubas said a couple of things.
He said, you know, we'll get to the scene where we talk about waivers in a second.
But one of the things that really stuck out to me is he said, listen, highly touted college free agent.
and you want to tell me
you got screwed here
and you got screwed there
because right,
he got traded from the Rangers
to Sabres or whatever
and new coach takes over
with New York
and he's all of a sudden
out of favor
because remember Jimmy
scored close to 20 goals
a couple of times, right?
17 twice.
Yeah.
So he's not,
no joke, right?
Nope.
But obviously,
what Jimmy thinks
is that Jimmy got screwed.
Yeah.
But at the point now
you're at three teams,
I get one of them
is the Sabres.
I get it.
But at a certain point,
That is pretty tough.
You do need to look inward
and go dubious said here's your opportunity to write that narrative if you got screwed prove it
here that what happened over there is you got screwed and here you're you're going to be
successful yeah and he couldn't live up to that his good games were good i had that i had that
twitter bit going be nice to jimmy and then he and then he went on a little bit of a streak and
i'm like be nice to jimmy and i kept doing it so i don't maybe maybe this is a situation where
we're looking too uh much into or we're taking too much uh from his attitude like you know
context is difficult maybe he's like trying to joke with keith in a very awkward situation like
maybe he's being realistic i know but i'm saying maybe i'm trying to be maybe guy about that's a
reach i'm trying to yeah i i'm trying to be maybe about this um but he needed to establish a thing
and he couldn't establish a thing so then they bring him into the office and the only other time
i've seen a meeting like this is the uh is the uh is movie money ball where you know they tell
they tell the guy okay you've been traded so what do i do uh that was also fiction yeah well it was
fiction but like you know it's supposed to be right but but with this one dubious is looking
at him like okay i'm sorry but i gotta put you on waivers it did look difficult for dubious i don't
think that's ever easy no matter what happens and and then um and then basically then he's got to
tell him hey we're surprised too but you got claimed by vancouver and i think my most the
funniest reaction to me in a dark way was shannon going in going really wow okay okay well like we
move on all right i was oh you just lost a third line left winger right winger whatever and okay
it's sort of like that vancouver huh he's like i got lunch at two yeah i'm also wearing a nice
cardigan today who's that guy it was a jeremy clarkson that oh no anyway yeah yeah it was
literally that i mean you gotta you gotta move forward but but think of think of the contrast
uh between those conversations between um jimmy vc and ilia mckay of ilia mckay of was a player
who was playing well well enough he did make mistakes as a coach pointed out has a role and
the gm instills listen you're doing a good job in your role and then there's this other player who
they're like you don't do anything so there's a there's one player who is good and doesn't really
like his role but at least he plays it well yep then there's this other player who he just never
found a niche right and that does happen you know you could that happens in any organization but
it's it's tough to watch because again you're looking at a guy with limited time this is it
and uh and so anyway it was fascinating so what's the time check jesse just so i know
about seven minutes okay so you know there's that and then i love that they transition from that
which is a little dark to william nylander yeah and they sort of introduce him and they're like
different dude shows shows it's a masterful thing in television to go from something
serious and kind of depressing to comedic relief and for the purposes of this documentary William
Nylander's built in like beautiful he's built in you he doesn't even say anything he just throws
on a Mona Lisa smile and you're like ah willing like he's just he seems like a fun guy to be
friends with yeah like we talk about this team like they lack so much like last episode we
talked about how joe thornton has to be the guy who keeps things loose they it's nice to have
more of that willie to me is the year in and year out loose guy everything is loose willie has no
bad days no he's the perfect toronto maple leaf the perfect toronto maple leaf he is he's exactly
what the Leafs need somebody look affected he's unaffected by everything that goes on in this
city like I can't love him enough and and Dubas describing him perfectly like in a way that even
I'm sure your uncle would be like all right fair fair enough Kyle brownie points Dubas also being
very honest about his play when they were uh they cut to him and he says uh Nylander handled that
puck very carelessly is the exact words he used which is something he does sometimes which is
yeah exactly that but that's yeah it's just sometimes the personality comes out on the ice
where he's a little loose and a little careless with his game and but he's so needed in this
locker room where i assume the majority of the guys they take everything they understand the
gravity of the situations and they are influenced that because how could you not be you have a guy
who understands it but it doesn't get to him we're we're obviously looking ahead i'm i'm i'm
excited to do this but in in terms of character arcs in terms of guys who eventually do get the
message nylander had five goals in the playoff five and seven he's a monster so i'm excited to
see over the next two episodes that journey continue yes the the him still not quite getting
it and then it eventually sinking into where he's literally philippe's most productive forward
100 by a lot by a lot it's not even by a little by a lot best player on the team in the playoffs
um so there's a little bit at the end here about you know jack campbell and there's you know a
little bit of an injury thing talks about his injury and then talks about it hints at this
guy's pretty cool oh yeah you're gonna like him we'll get back to him the injury the game versus
calgary he tears his groin and he says i know what uh torn groin feels like popped it and because i
popped it and then he finishes the game and he tells his teammates mid-game hey i tore my groin
but i'm gonna finish that's the things hockey players do i crazy people and that was one thing
from the first episode because i was sort of paying attention to what game we're on
and that game wasn't in it or at least that moment wasn't in it and i was like oh i wanted to know
what happened there but they're isolating uh players individuals right from the the the player
stories aren't necessarily chronological what and i was so happy they went back what moment in the
season is that because i don't have your brain uh the campbell groin game it's really it was early
it was one of his first starts it was like start two or three so it was within that first 10 game
window that they highlighted in the first episode i'm not totally sure but i think so oh wow i'm not
totally sure but i think so and that's uh yeah matthew kachuk falls on him i feel oh man i feel
the same i feel the same way about it as i did that night he knew what he was doing that wasn't
an accident dirty yeah but i mean that's his game and that's he that's why he gets a lot of money
for that there's very few players that do that sometimes i wonder when a player says something
on the ice and the building's full it's probably pretty hard to hear them um it's difficult to
know what it sounds like on the ice unless you're there right like i've never been on the ice in
front of a pack stadium those buildings are empty so campbell's going oh i tore my groin
and it's loud enough that like he's still shouting a little bit it's going through his
yeah you know he sees he even good chance of flame hears it right they know this guy's got a busted
i mean there's someone probably on the bench going hey something's not right with jack let's make a
move side to side as much as possible yeah but if you hear him say that you know this this is a
vulnerable player right now yeah and these guys are in our division we're trying to make the
playoffs we know we're going to see them a bunch more times screw them and also let's not forget
what happened in the beginning of the season which they didn't mention in the documentary was
jake muslin flipping the cup but the pocket could chuck no i think that was after that game oh was
it after that yeah it was it was but it didn't it didn't uh make that that so so that part i'm like
man no wonder they hated us that was that was more of a flame storyline but it would have been nice
to get Muzzin's perspective?
Like, the audio thing,
I was wondering that
I had that exact same thought
because of how many scenes
they had of Keef
just yelling on the bench.
I know he's mic'd up for the show,
but how clearly he's heard.
And I was like, we've sat,
all three of us have sat
in between the benches there.
And I've never,
I don't sit there and be like,
oh yeah, Keef's yelling all game.
But literally all game,
he's yelling stuff.
And I guess because
of the empty arenas,
you can hear just him
loud and clear, he's mic'd up.
But I wonder how that would change going into this season, you know, because you're not hearing all of this conversation happening.
There was a scene at some point.
I can't remember when, but the team is skating through the neutral zone and Keefe is barking to do something.
And if you're the other team and the building's empty, like, how do you not just adjust to exactly what he just said?
Right.
Because you can hear it.
But what I'm also.
And if you're in row one at Scotiabank, you can hear all that.
I'm also laughing at the fact that I've sat between the benches more than once.
i never heard a player say a single thing that's how soundproof it is but at a playoff game i once
yelled at the bruins so loud that half the bench turned around right that's how loud i am so i give
her lastly before the episode ends and again foreshadow big time foreshadow keith with the
quote of the episode i'm not sure the teams believe we are what we think we are which
was quoted uh several times throughout the year leading up to the playoffs remember there was that
anonymous player i'm not impressed yeah yeah not and and you know this there's good team
has major flaws they're first in the division but nobody around the league is scared of the
toronto maples and even it was tough even if he believed in their progress um which it doesn't
sound like he did as the head coach it's you can't uh keep your foot on the gas for for the
players if you don't keep it on yourself yeah so that's him constantly reminding himself there's
work to do here hey the access we have to keep is so good it's crazy it's crazy it's the best
part of it so far can i the one thing i'll say as a fan is that it's nice that they knew that's
the one thing i was validated i got solace in that too it goes back to to what i was saying i'm like
am i seeing this wrong and all i'm getting from this documentary so far is we're right yeah yeah
we nailed it they're just not going to communicate that to us mid-season which you don't blame them
which i get like i i'm always i always say like i don't know if this is rocket science i think
some of it's pretty obvious and so far yes it has been then going into the montreal series when you
were worried all right so tomorrow episode three drops and it will be the reaction to episode three
