I think the problem I have with Steve Dangle is that he has the potential to have the best Leafs content by a mile because he's smart and has good opinions but he ruins it.
The first way he ruins it is yelling in his LFR videos, his yelling is really hard to listen to because of how shrieky his voice gets, it's not a good sound. I don't mind him showing anger or emotion but just that shrieky voice is grating. The second way he ruins it is that he has a podcast but instead of talking mostly Leafs on his podcast, him and his co-hosts spend an incessant amount of time talking about other teams which is problematic because they have really poor knowledge of those other teams since they mostly just watch Leafs games. Just really ignorant opinions, fortunately they talk about the Leafs at the beginning of the podcast generally so you can ignore the rest.
Also it's awesome that you call your wife a Kiwi, "New Zealander" doesn't sound right.
I spose he is a bit shreiky. But I find myself laughing a lot watching his LFR vids and even after a loss I tend to feel a bit better about the game. I can't help but like him. I do agree with a lot of his analysis but not always.
I have never heard any of his podcasts.
Meh.... I was just curious as to why some don't like him as personally I can't see any harm with putting your heart on your sleeve.
I would buy the guy a few beers and reckon I would enjoy talking hockey with him.
Same goes for a lot of people on here that don't throw their toys out of the cot when things are not going great.
Trust me. Here in NZ I have yet to find anyone that knows the first thing about the game let alone a Leaf fan.
Would be good to catch up with old Kiwi but he lives on the wrong island, and likely drinks inferior beer due to his geographic location and poor judgement
