Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LFR20 - Game 14 - Burnout - Maple Leafs 2, Flames 5
Q: Oh Steve, are you anti-celebration?
He says he supports celebrations, including Matt Coronato's gritty, but thinks the opposing team should try to prevent a player from celebrating again after a power-play goal put Calgary up 3-0.
LFR20 - Game 16 - MacEwancouver - Maple Leafs 4, Canucks 2
Q: Who will have more points at the end of the year, Stolarz or Tanev?
Dangle compares Stolarz's three points in six games with Chris Tanev's recent assist totals, noting that Stolarz currently has more points while cautioning that his pace is unlikely to continue.
LFR20 - Game 10 - Leafs+ - Sharks 1, Maple Leafs 3
Q: Can we give Teddy Blueger in the bottom six company their flowers tonight? Outstanding work by the penalty kill. Being first in something rules.
Dangle agrees that the fourth line has been effective in consecutive games, praising Zach McEwen, Brandon Duhaime, and Teddy Blueger, and also compliments Vinny Lettieri's play.
LFR20 - Game 12 - Troy Story - Rangers 4, Maple Leafs 5
Q: Is there a little concern for Bob allowing three goals in all seven starts and four in the last four?
Dangle says the goalie's .895 save percentage is still above the league average he cites, though he would expect better given the goalie's resume, age and cap hit. He adds that individual goals could have been stopped, but the numbers do not mean the sky is falling.
LFR20 - Game 12 - Troy Story - Rangers 4, Maple Leafs 5
Q: Do you think Danford can take on a Chris Tanev role and strengthen the defense?
Dangle says the Leafs need more defensemen because Marshall Rifai is injured, Tanev is out, and Nick Blankenburg left the game after a hard hit. He does not offer a definite assessment of Danford's ability to fill that role.
