The Leaf: Blueprint - A Special Moment 

You could tell how proud of Willy he was 🥺

Class Act. Hope he gets into coaching or management.

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 😂

Awesome seeing Dion getting some love! Congrats big guy

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

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

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.

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!!

Stuff like this really makes me love this team.

Well done boys. Best in the future Dion.

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.

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

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

Class guy.

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

All class

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

Congrats Dion💪

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.

Congrats Dion!

All the best Dion our captain

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

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

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

I usually picked Dion in the NHL be a pro.

mikheyev got snubbed on the handshake lmao

Elisha Cuthbert ❤

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!

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

Thanks captain pylon

0:13 the Leafs Captain

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

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

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

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

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

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.

cool

Retire #3

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.

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

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

The banner should have been a pylon.

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

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

class act but a total pylon on the ice

Lol is this serious?

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

this is the problem with toronto they reward players for failure

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

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

shirt is a joke

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

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

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

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

Pylon Phangoof
