GOOSEBUMPS

Notice how he turns then jersey to stare at the logo. Thats a leafs fan alright.

those offices!!! a great peek behind the curtain! When JT first grabbed the sweater in the dressing room, he din't admire his own name, he immediately flipped it over to stare at the Leafs logo PERFECT!

1:09 - never seen Babs smile like that before hahah.

OMG Dubas & Shanny hugging...STICK IT RIGHT INTO MY VEINS......

Can’t wait to get the season started

Longest summer ever. Can't stop watching these Tavares Leaf videos.

John F'n' Tavares is a Leaf . Amazing. What a beaut. Welcome home JT. Go Leafs Go!!

Tavares coming to Toronto like Thor arriving in wakanda

In dubas we trust

There's a legit tear of happiness in my eye, it still doesn't feel real but this is helping

Wow the leafs HQ and offices are incredible

Welcome to Toronto, John Tavares :). BTW, his fiancée is so gorgeous

I must have watched this a few dozen times since Canada Day. I still go nuts every time I see it.

John Tavares is living his childhood dream can't wait for the season to start

So can't wait until the season starts!

Got chills when he picked up his jersey and noticing Marners jersey and locker to his left

You know when Dubas was brought on as the analytics wiz kid I was glad to hear it. When it was suggested he would likely become GM after Lou I was skeptical and when he finally stepped into the position I was a bit leery. But that apprehension quickly faded with the Marlies winning the Calder and now it's completely gone after he landed JT. He has my utmost trust and faith. It still feels like a dream how these past few years have unfolded. Fans have been clamoring for a rebuild since the last lockout but it seemed like it would never happen. When Babs said there would be pain I expected the worse and yet compared to the pain of being a Leaf fan for 37 years the rebuild was relatively painless. Regardless of how things play out over the next few years on the ice I'm proud to be a fan of this team again and it all began with a man who isn't even with the organization anymore. Thanks Tim. Thanks Shanny. Thanks Babs. Thanks Lou. Thanks Kyle. But most of all thanks to the players who make this team what it is today. Is it October yet?

Is it October yet?

Leafs fans it’s been wayyyy to long. Very very hard times in the past and painful tears. BUT NOW CRY IN TEARS OF JOY WE THE BEST ONCE AGAIN

Like Steve Dangle said *FULL BIBLICAL!!!!*

What a beautiful moment for me as a leaf fan to see this man come here to big T. The last time to got thus excited is when we got "THE KILLER" and Sundin. Ohh yeah this is goin to be somthing

Just feels so right. It gives me goosebumps thinking about growing up in TO playing hockey we all wish to be playing for legendary franchise like Leafs. Remembering watching all those games crying when beloved leafs would lose and being so happy when they would win. Just wishing to see them win the Cup and with our amazing management team led by Shanahan it will happen just hoping it happens soon. Thank you leafs for keep my childhood dreams alive

IM FIRED UP BOYS LETS GOOOOOO

I got chills watching this

*LOVE* this video. I could re-watch it a million times. I'm ravenous for any and all footage of JT with the Leafs. Can't wait for the season to start!

Happy to call myself a Maple Leaf fan. Big things are coming

Wow can still remember 1967....thought i would never see the LEAFS be a contender in my life time but hope is once again back.GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

My whole body went numb when I heard the news of his signing.

2:07 Now that hall looks amazing, I would have goosebumps walking down that. Got em' just looking at it.

I never saw that coming. The man has integrity and honour. The next captain debate is over. A local boy must wear the C when he's as good and experienced as JT.

Very excellent video production once again. MLSE doing the little things right. It adds up and then you get things like bringing JT home!

I still can't believe that this is real. John Tavares is a Toronto Maple Leaf!! 😃🏒🥅🍁

Most hyped I've been for a season in my entire life!

Words cannot describe how happy i am.. tears of joy!! JT BABY WOOOOO!!!!

Goosebumps!!!!

LETS BRING IT HOME BOYS

Tavares is a maple leaf!

You look at the success John has had under Babcock's ruling (International play) and the fact that he grew up a Leaf fan; you can't blame the guy for chasing after the stars' alignment. Congratulations to Kyle Dubas, this took a lot of balls and I wish success for you. - Sens fan

I have been in love with Tavares ever since that world junior game against the US - signed a 36 yr old man

Thats so awesome! I can't wait for the season to begin!

"The name on the front of your sweater means a hell of alot more than the one on the back"- Herb Brooks

Definitely makes them a better team moving forward. Come on hockey season.

Very revealing video on the behind the scene dynamic between the chief players. You think Lou ever got a hug from Shanny?

Babcock and shanahan created the foundation ,for this opportunity to come true 💪🏻

He`s always had that Leaf Blood in him, and now he`s HERE .Woooooooopeeeeeeeee

Watching this on opening day training camp... great way to get pumped :)

This is beautiful! Can’t wait for the season to kick off!! 😍

Literally gave me goosebumps

I'm happy that John Tavares is back home and playing for the Maple Leafs! I'm not happy however, that Air Canada Centre was renamed to Scotiabank Arena. Air Canada made that building unique, but now, it's just another building with a bank's name on it. But regardless, welcome home, John!

A dream came true! I can’t wait to see him play 😎👌🏻

The only thing holding the Leafs back was their big 3 didn't have a veteran superstar to lead the way. Pastrnak has Marchand and Bergeron. Laine, Connor and Ehlers have Wheeler and Scheifele. Vegas whole core was 26-30 years old. Matthews, Nylander and Marner now have Tavares to act as their Bergeron/Scheifele. Leafs are a scary team to face.

Beautiful

Gave me chills. #isitoctoberyet

Thank You Snow !!!!!!

I never get tired of watching this! Goosebumps indeed Daniel Schiffer

Lots and lots of Love for the Leafs. I'm extra Excited for the Leafs. GO LEAFS

So pumped! *LETS DO THIS*

God damn it I was looking for this yesterday

Goosebumps

It doesn't even feel real

I'm so happy!

I remember 3 seasons ago when our top line centre in the season opener was Peter Holland lol. I'd say we've come a long way since those dark days. Come on October!

Can't wait for the start of the season. Seeing JT in a Leafs uniform is gonna be awesome. Go Leafs Go!

Is it October yet!? I'm way to excited!

Awesome

Yep! The third period collapse in 2013 was the biggest blessing in disguise in Leaf history.

Only time will tell!

Welcome " HOME"!!!!! John!,........ 😎👌👍👏✌️🌟🇨🇦

Who’s here after Johnny Toronto just won first playoff series for Toronto in nearly twenty years🎉🎉🎉

Great thinking Tavares

this makes me feel things

"im fired up" -John Tavares

And 15 months later, he's our Captain. 💪😎

I've never watched a video so much before this has to be my 60th time

HELL YEAH BROTHER!

Is there s full episode of this anywhere? Or is this it?

Its been 8 days, Feels like July 1st.

My first KZfaq comment ever, but this is a legendary moment!

The LEAFS are GONNA ROCK THIS SEASON!

Amazing Day in Toronto Maple Leafs History...

Chills !!!! .... Go Leafs Go

Made the most sense because he will just be one piece in this team. Having Matthews, Marner, Marleau, Kapanen, Gardiner, Reilly, and hopefully Nylander soon as a supporting cast is huge. Two years ago he would have said no because he would have been expected to carry the team.

omg too many feels

Dear JT. You do realize that as Leafs fans we now expect all the First Overall Picks that join the Leafs to score 4 goals in their first game, right? Don't disappoint us now. ;p

full episode?

Nice video

Is it October yet?????

When does the full movie come out ?

HYPE

💙💙

Best day of my life

I just noticed something and I don’t know if I’m the only one but at 2:20 when John is walking into the dressing room on the opposite wall above the lockers, you see the words Privilege not a Right. Idk why but that kinda made me emotional. After so long of this organization being the joke of the league it has been brought back to respectability by staff and players who bleed blue and white and who recognize that to wear that maple leaf on your chest is the biggest honour you could ever have. It’s not about being drafted to the Leafs anymore, we now have a whole roster full of players who recognize the importance and honour of donning the blue and white and want to be here. Idk man, I just got chills seeing that.

I'm a Canucks fan (cry for me) but anyone who doesn't feel great with the Tavares story has no heart. Tavares as a person is beyond reproach, so he followed his boyhood dream to go home? So what? It makes him and Leafs fan happy, it FEELS right, and it's the kind of thing any hometown would want of a superstar exiled to some gulag somewhere in the USA.

YESSSSSSSSSS

Notice where his Jersey is in that locker room? Number 16 next to him and 34 right next to that... We all know know that there is going to be a bond between these guys.

My teacher would have been so mad because of this

Tavares-Matthews-Kadri down the middle, mother of god.

Still can’t believe it so exciting can’t wait probably even better 49-26-7 105 PTS with JT and probably 50W with him Let’s Go Leafs Go 🥋🥋🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🚨🔥🔥👍🏿🚨👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🚨🔥

I love this fucking video and I love all of you... Leafs nation baby, we're a family.
