In June, Dion Phaneuf was named the 18th captain in history of the Toronto Maple Leafs. As the start of the pre-season approaches and with it, the start of his captaincy, its his time to be Player of the Week!
Phaneuf played for the Flames for four and a half seasons before being traded to the Leafs this past February. His production dropped dramatically in his last season with the Flames, which may have been a factor in the Flames decision to involve him in the trade, but hopes are high for him to bounce back this season. Maybe some of that famous swagger of his will help
The Leafs and Leafs Nation have high hopes for this upcoming season - diehard fans that can see a Stanley Cup Parade in Toronto this June may be setting their standards a bit too high but hey, anything's possible. Suffice to say, Phaneuf has a lot of pressure sitting on his shoulders.
Whether or not Phaneuf will really "give us wings" remains to be seen, but the main question I have is... who drinks a Red Bull after working out?
