You could tell how proud of Willy he was 🥺

Class Act. Hope he gets into coaching or management.

Awesome seeing Dion getting some love! Congrats big guy

Regardless what you think of his on ice play, this guy is an absolute beaut off the ice, as genuine a human being as you can get. Perfect example, look how he talked with the staff, it’s one thing saying hi to the players, but when he sincerely says it’s nice to see part of the staff again and can’t stop talking to them, that’s how you know he’s a true class act. I met Dion and Elisha a few years ago, shook his hand and asked if I could get a picture, Dion said yeah for sure, so I laughed and said I meant with Elisha.. He took it like a champ, laughed, and said yeah she can be in the picture too 😂

That was some classy stuff. Good job on the Leafs. Congrats to Dion!

Glad the joke about Kampf made it into the final edit 😂

Congrats Dion. ngl would love to see him as a coach

I love these behind the scenes looks that we get. Make me love my team even more! #LeafsForever 💙

I remember watching him play live when he was still a Calgary flame. He was a good player. My mom met him before he was traded he was really nice.

Stuff like this really makes me love this team.

Brian Burke is a genius he paved the way to where ether leafs are now

I was just getting into peewee when I first saw Dion play at the WJC. I was a defenceman and I looked up to him in every single way and tried to base my play off of his. I really miss watching him, great guy!!

Well done boys. Best in the future Dion.

Class guy.

Congratulations Dion!!! You looked the best in the Blue& White!!!!!! #Aleaferforever #LeafNation #imahappyoldhead #😎👍🤘🇨🇦

That leafs suit jacket is unreal. His face the moment that banner dropped, you could see the surprise in his face. Class act from everyone and well deserved.

This guy was a good captain, he was put into a top 2 role which wasn’t his fault, he would be perfect on the blue line now in a top 4 capacity if he was still playing and in his prime.

I used to call dion our Pylon but he’s legit a good hockey d man not all his fault this team is cursed

I want to see those banners hanging in Scotia bank arena.

Congrats Dion💪

All class

Congrats Dion!

Elisha Cuthbert ❤

All the best Dion our captain

I usually picked Dion in the NHL be a pro.

Almost shed a tear when Morgan looked at the door, followed by his speech.

mikheyev got snubbed on the handshake lmao

Phaneuf as there captain was considered by many as the dark years for leafs. Compared to captains before and after he doesn't compare.

Thanks captain pylon

I’m so frigging proud of the way this particular version of the leafs was constructed! 😽💦

dion is a good guy. he didn't live up to that massive contract but that was nonis' fault. he was a good #4 expected to be #1 in the toughest market. he had no help and had to answer to the media about shitty management and team performance as the captain for many years. he was always accountable, helped so much in the community and never bashed the fans.

Dion deserves it!

Class Act Capt. Morgan. Big D i always liked Phaneuf

0:13 the Leafs Captain

I want to run through a wall I'm so amped after watching this!!!

OK Leafs, this does it. Its too cool. I am now officially over last year. Try again, its time to find out if karma is real.

Still more of a man than anyone on the team currently + Sundin was still the best captain

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

1:54 Ilya got snubbed

Good dude, but those years were tough and I wouldn’t put the blame on him. Management was terrible

Retire #3

1:48 present Leafs Captains and old Captain. The way it should have been.

Hilarious Marner and Kerfoot photobombing Matthews' shot :) I didn't love Phaneuf when he played in TO (*cough- pylon) but I'm glad he was recognized by the team and I think he did his best to be a good captain. His legacy will age well

cool

hes was a friggin pylon, but that kind from the old urban legend of one filled with concrete your buddy's uncle crashed into while goofing around one night

Good old Pylon. Enjoy your retirement sir.

who that guy in the middel of morgan #44 and sandian #38 ?

The word I've heard on Dion is that he grew up a ton through the years. While I don't really understand this presentation, he certainly seems to have appreciated it. Good for him.

The banner should have been a pylon.

I remeber Iggy punching Dion in the face and BOOM he was traded for your Ex Captain Stag ;) Not a bad deal in my mind

Matthews should ask Dion for some advise on dealing with the bullshit that comes out of Steve Simmons mouth daily.

Mats Sundin was everything a captain should have been. A leader. A game changer. This guy wasn't any of those things.

Went to high school with Dion, he’s a beaut. Leafs suck tho. Lol

class act but a total pylon on the ice

Lol is this serious?

this is the problem with toronto they reward players for failure

Why on earth are coaches still wearing masks on the bench if this is going on.

Ah!! Wonderful!! Nothing like celebrating mediocrity!!!

Did anyone see they tried to blur out “DOMI” at 4:18 that’s ridiculous :/

Yes he’s the worst captain in leafs history, but he’s still a leafs captain

Poor guy had a garbage roster around him. Shame on that old regime for not giving him enough talent to play with.

shirt is a joke

Worst captain of the worst team in hockey , couldnt lead a fucking trip to the washrrom.

He wasn't a good captain. Like at all. Toronto bought him out..

Tanks fir nutn

Phagoof was one of the worst Leaf Captains ever and one of the most overrated defencemen as well.

Pylon Phangoof
