Was a huge fan of his LFRs in 2015-2017 but then sort of lost the appeal and stopped watching besides a few famous videos

His podcasts are pretty well done and informative with CJ being there and giving inside information

Does good work on Sportsnet with his videos/packages being entertaining to watch

Self-made did it by himself. Worked his butt off and stuck through. Big kudos to his dedication as a leaf fan and his ability to generate an audience

Very involved in charitable causes with him constantly promoting and showcasing different charitable organizations in his videos

He isn't a analyst and a guy who knows the ins and outs of running the team. He's a super fan with good sources and a guy who is entertaining.

Yeah people don't like that he yells a lot but his reactions are meant to show reaction and emotion so I'm cool with that.

The only thing I don't like is he is/was a big Dubas fanboy at times. He switched up on Babcock and Lou once Dubas got hired and isn't that critical of Dubas/Shanny (though that may have changed this year after the humilation we got from the habs)
 
I respect his hustle and enjoy the podcast. Some of his LFRs are fun, too.

Feel like he gets a lot of hate on HF for no reason. Totally understandable if he's not your cuppa, and he's no hockey genius, but some of the hate seems odd.
You have to admit he's is pretty damn annoying. He tries way too hard to be cool!
 
Hard to say without knowing him personally but I think that’s just who he is.

I like the podcast btw.
I'm a hockey junkie and listen to it so it would be pretty hypocritical for me to say I don't like it:DD. I definitly don't like it when he's on his own though, that's when he's trying too hard. When he has the other guys on it's great because they're just talking hockey.

Yeah I’m not really a fan of solo shows anyway whether that’s radio, podcasts etc.

I like him when he acts like an adult. Very cringey mid-thirties-man-child vibes when he starts yelling and screaming.
 
Love dangle…he bleeds blue and white to a degree most fans don’t…respect his hustle and the emotion he shows is raw and unfiltered which I also appreciate in this world where everything is purposefully toned down…I appreciate the guy whether I always agree with him or not
 
In response to JayfromNB1219, …he bleeds blue and white

I used to find him too loud and screamy. Then I thought he adjusted and turned it down and even sold that angle in his intro to his videos. I watched all of them since start of LFR9 and finally subscribed when he became slightly less of yelly-screamy man.

Lost respect for his hockey IQ —> not knowing Nick Roberston was a forward. I kept watching cause O “felt” his passion.

Overall he can go pound sand. His thing used to be “are you in”. Now all he can talk about is THG and Easter seals. His end of year videos were pathetic. Steve quit on the leafs, so I quit on him. I know you snoop around here Steve. So know that I UNSUBSCRIBED. I will never watch another video again.
 
I don't mind Dangle from time to time.

I prefer other people commenting on the Leafs.

Dangle is like 4th or 5th tier.
 
Honestly, I don’t think his voice is a good one. He doesn’t know the game but provides information and perspective to thousands (millions) of people on it. This isn’t someone who should be speaking to the masses about hockey, what happened, why etc etc

On YouTube I get it, I respect the hustle, but his affiliation with SN really shines light on what a Mickey Mouse organization that is.

Went downhill around when Victory Puppies started. At first it was fun and authentic, although in the amateur v blog early youtuber fashion. One he started marketing it, writing and marketing the book, it just felt more gimmicky.

Watch him try to skate and that should tell you all you need to know.

He's a fan of the team and records himself being a fan of it.

If you want actual hockey knowledge and insights into the game, look elsewhere.
 
He’s an idiot but in this day and age that can work for you. Good on him for playing to his strengths.
 
Tell me what you love about Steve Dangle.

With this being personal about another person and without his involvement in the discussion, or even unsure if he is an active member of this community, although I have seen his posts on HF before I will close this thread.

Open discussion of HF board members is not a valid thread topic as per the site rules.
