Dion Puts the "C" On: Dion Phaneuf named Toronto's new Captain

[jscarps011]

is the dude in the car wearing a gamecocks hat?

[mrceebees14]

How in the heck do you get access like this?

[SteveDangle]

@mrceebees14 Naked photos of people. As long as I keep getting this access, I'll refrain from saying who.

[mesh556]

Luke Schenn is hot!

[topshelfballhockey]

Phaneuf all time fav

[CasualDex]

Proud of you phaneuf ur my fav hockey player, lead that team now you good mother fucker. Go leafs Go!

[mikeystaubin]

Steve, will you be going to any Rookie tournament or preseason games this year??

[hhh4life]

Looks like Kessel's car

[hhh4life]

Looks like Kessel's car

[JagrJr68]

you look like Jim from The Office

[jbold5]

steve we have to get a group together and bully the suits out of our arena. they arent real fans.. and its making our atmosphere look bad!

[thehardcorexrocker]

LOL. Love the ending!

[playahater245]

You look like John Tavares :)

[LilxBubblezx]

@playahater245 So now i know i'm not alone in thinking that.

[DannyBragg]

In Dion we trust......he will bring the ACC to their feet for years to come.

[RadicalNotion]

bushkorn videos are so much better than this run of the mill stuff

[Fifa09Wii]

is 0:26 schenn or nick kypreos????

[Tunnel51]

@Fifa09Wii Kypreos

[Seffer]

man Steve came a long way and now he gets to interview actual maple leafs! Congrats Steve!

[TheBlackhawksGirl]

lol couldnt stop laughting at 1:02

[LAKNYGLAA213]

As much as I hate Phaneuf, I must say it's much deserved.

[briandolce]

playoffs this year? :)

[Calvin7]

steve how does it feel to have the editing power of having both you and your alter ego in the same shot? haha

[ram1500cowgirl]

ew i still cant get over seeing him in blue.

that C is gonna go straight to his head.

its gonna stand for cocky soon, not captain.

go flames go!

[ColoradoAvalanche33]

Your so lucky, are Luke and Dion cool guys, like did you have to hunt them down to talk or not? They are my fav defenders in the whole NHL.

[ilovetheoc1]

Steve, I LOVE your video, it's awesome!! I love the way you talked to Dion and to Luke Schenn too :P You ask nice questions, but not in the same way as an interviewer ! It's like, different, and really cool !!

[jkellzer]

Steve! your the next George Stroumboulopoulos. Your awesome

[joaniemaloney]

Only commenting for the cupcakes! ;D

[leafsforlife26]

great video steve but what was more impressive was your sweat shirt=D...where did you get it from?

[kamosko99]

future cabbie?

[jjpeterson1]

Leafs are gonna need more aggression up front, the current team is not good enough.

[amirghorbani]

@jjpeterson1 aggression....rofl when was the last time you watched a leafs game....the only players we have are grinders....no snipers, play makers or overall high skilled offensive players besides kessell....what we need is a first line center (not savard, concussion problems, getting old) and some good scorers

[ExxonPirate]

Lol

[canuck785]

Phaneuf Is a great choice for a captain.

[Slegnirp]

Dion better be proud. Is there anything bigger in hockey than be the Captain of Toronto, the hockey Mekka? (except winning the cup)

[modnarm]

Steve, you are so legit right now. Great work, good luck in your pursuit of a career.

[5hahv1r1]

Awesome video! Great to see you continue covering high-profile stuff!

Although, whoever edits these videos should fix the split screen for when you get yourself and alter-ego at the same time (the Escalade car bits are pretty off (probably shift in camera, but if you feather it, it should become unnoticeable).

[4znwarrior10]

Steve I was hoping you would be wearing the new leafs jersey with the name Dangle at the back XD

[Julian24151]

oh and one more thing..LEAFS NEED TO CHANGE BACK TO THEIR OLD GOAL HORN!!!!

[Julian24151]

Well now at least you guys have a young captain, who I think is gonna be a franchise player, and with Giguere as goalie I think the only thing the leafs will need is a better offense and I think the leafs might see some post-season play

[burttscornerbenny]

This vlog business sure has opened some amazing doors for you! Keep up the good work Steve!

[guacamolechief39]

Dion gave me a puck at a Ducks game!! It was some awesome

[londonpythons716]

lmao nice screen split steve :P

[walkoff66]

Wow Steve Dangle this guy gets better n better i remember watching ur leaf game reviews 3 years ago - u went from making home videos to interviewing nhl captains - WOW:)

[greatlife15]

Man Steve you're pretty much boss. How did you even fall into this sweet gig? I'd love to do something like what you're doing if you want to impart some wisdom on me. Don't worry, if I ever make it big, I promise not to step on your toes haha.

[alrexrod198]

Steve Dangle is the next Ron McLean

[Matthewbcd]

i envy you. :D

[adridram77]

this is awful

[TheOilersrock89]

wow hat dude and steve in the same shot

[kovalev27c]

Yo steve, dont take this the wrong way, but every single fan of every single team has the same question about the leafs. What's it like having a team that sucks so badly? Like every year just the same thing, the Blackhawks WERE that team, but now the leafs are at a whole new level of sucking massive balls. So steve, let us know what its like!

[4znwarrior10]

@kovalev27c lol you're a kovalev fan you should know how it feels :)

[chronicganja]

yeah i have a feeling the steve dangle show is going to be on leafs tv, not youtube, pretty soon

[theroadrunner188]

you sait frikin front row! at the uni/captain announcement!!!!! no lets just review that, you, a fresh college grad . . . sat front row with seasoned journalists for the announcement of phanuef's captaincy. Okay Steve Dangle is officially too legit. When are you going to be on TSN full time? how long?

[brosfromothermthrs3]

awesome

[CrimsonSkorpion]

One thing I noticed in the last shot, with hat guy. The frame work is a little messed and you can actually see that the frame of hat guy in the car is lower then the frame with Steve in front of the car. None-the-less, good job Steve. Future vloggers like myself can only dream about becoming as big as you have.

[alind2639]

how many years till he lifts the cup for us?!

[chrisiztheman1618]

hahahaha 2:33 bad editing my friend XD

[jayvardy]

lol @ the hat guys antics. 

[stevematylewicz]

Dion is fine with the spotlight...he just takes his time answering questions. I sense that he actually THINKS about what he wants to say rather than rehash the same old Media Trained Monkey Speech that most other players give.

It's a welcome change actually.

[spongebob541]

Double Dion! Double C-on Phanuef!

[CynBin20]

niceeeeeeee

[rob899]

Awesome Video!.. You've come along way!

[ian5534]

also steve now you can say you touched the c before anyone else in the nhl beside the toronto maple elafs

[ian5534]

snap buddy gets to meet dion pahneuf that nice steve

[RavingRabbidsball]

As a Toronto Maple Leaf noob (I'm a supportive fan, it's just the playoffs that isn't working too well for me) I thought Phil Kessel would be the new captain. But hey, Dion Phaneuf has a huge role in the NHL that others can't hold out against. 

[Alosho63592]

Congrats Dion....but, I still miss you in Calgary :(

[CaptainKishimoto]

lol @ editting with the car. Other than that, good work Steve!

[addicted2music07]

Steve Dangle is soo freaking lucky!!!

[MattMicko48]

Steve can't wait to see you guys and in the playoffs next year... but sorry that we're going to have to beat you again. :P good luck!

[carmie1818]

Nicely done, Steve...Dion doesn't seem to enjoy the public spot-light, but he was the logical choice.

[aviator147]

thats awesome, how from LFR1, you now get to meet NHL pros!

[clayman1919]

haha dion doesint show emotion off the ice at all haha. always has his game face on.

[SanguineSkies]

The Hat Guy's so thoughtful! Not exactly resourceful, though...

[BlackhawksGirl8819]

you are so lucky! congrats on what your doing :)

[SanLouie]

Love the New Sweater & New Captain !!! Go Leafs Go !!!

[glynti]

loved it! beautiful!

[dc619]

Congrats to Dion...but he really does not seem to happy to be here...

[SteveDangle]

@dc619 He seemed happy to be there while sitting on stage and others were talking. The fuss isn't really his thing.

[LeafFan1221]

Thats just his personality. He's a very serious, upfront type of person. Believe me, Wilson and Burke made sure he wanted to stay in Toronto before naming him captain.@dc619

[strker99]

@dc619 I'm sure he is really happy, but he is just not the type of guy who grins ear to ear for the cameras.

[daytekmultisync]

You have THE best job in the world, Steve! LOL

[SteveDangle]

@daytekmultisync It's not bad. And there are cupcakes!

[goleafsgo0293]

@SteveDangle ... I do like cupcakes.

[JaysonHoang14]

@SteveDangle Damn Steve, did you ever realize that Youtube gave you a career. :O

But not a career making comedy videos on youtube, but working for the Leafs! Steve "Dangle" Glynn, I envy you.

[roadhockey]

That trade was a steal.

[Zxceelxuz]

At the time I write this, one person dislikes this video. Must be a Sens fan. Let's throw stuff at him :P

Anyways, keep up the good work, and lets hope this will help bring us to the playoffs for the first time in forever. I didn't realize until just now I went through my senior years of highschool and my entire college education without watching them in the playoffs. That hurts.

[SteveDangle]

@Zxceelxuz Same. On May 4th, 2004 (last Leaf playoff game) I was in the 10th grade. I got my degree this week. Sigh.

[orme55555]

@SteveDangle

Yea last time they were in the playoffs I was in grade 5.

Good vid keep up the good work.

[Zxceelxuz]

@SteveDangle I was also in grade 10. Man that makes me sad. Well, kinda made me laugh too cause I had a teacher who was a hardcore sens fan and everytime we beat them out I hassled him hardcore. In my last year when they got destroyed by I believe it was Buffalo in 2006, I even left him a golf club, and promptly stole it back when the look on his face said he may use it aainst me.

So, what are your thoughts on Blue in the lower bowl, white in the upper when we make the playoffs?

[aplayaz2000]

awesome vid steve, love seeing behind the scenes stuff

[aplayaz2000]

wtf i thought that buddy guy was just you in a hat, never knew u had a twin

[SteveDangle]

@aplayaz2000 We're triplets believe it or not. But the other guy like the Caps. Ewww.

[sportsfanatic124]

awesome vid Steve, I've loved watching you from the beginning and my first instinct was "wow this kid knows what he's talking about and he's freaking hilarious!" Nice to see you succeed from something you enjoy doing, cheers!!

[gohabsgo27AK]

There's not really any other captain material players on the leafs... Easy choice there.

Kessel? Kaberle? Komisarek? lol...

[Maximum40]

Ahahaa! "Now this 'C', it's fabric, it's, just it's cloth... Like does it mean anything?" 1:56

[Maximum40]

change**@Maximum40

[libanlibanliban]

Good stuff Steve. Finally we get to see you and your alter ego in the same shot! and done professionaly to boot. I had to take a double take there. lol.

Let's go Dion!

[rythe]

sigh im very happy phaneuf is captain totally did not surprise me tho haha

[chaosof99]

I wonder how they told Phaneuf.

"Hey Dion, good to see you. I know you haven't been here too long, the team is in its longest playoff drought in franchise history, and since the Hawks won the Cup we're also the most Cup-starved team in the NHL. Also, we don't have a first round draft pick this year. But you're gonna be the captain now. Good luck."

[19markle19]

Dear Dangle,

you're video's are awesome, Dion is awesome, Toronto Maple Leafs confirmed for awesome.

[Exomos]

...you mighty morphin' power rangerrrrss.......

...... @SteveDangle

[Exomos]

This video makes me want to touch myself to the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers theme.

Does that make me unique?

[SteveDangle]

@Exomos "No" would be the wrong response.

[JustinW71]

@SteveDangle LOL that comment about "touching" and "power rangers" is a product of not being in the post season for a very long time 

[burtonX15]

i wish dion would say more than " i work hard " " we have a good team "

[iopunderstealth]

I love this video :D

[SteveDangle]

@iopunderstealth I love YOU

[iopunderstealth]

@SteveDangle I think this is most complimented I've been on youtube :D

[Zeppelin129]

Good for you, man. Keep doing what you're doing. There's no one else who can fit your shoes. All the best with your work. Hopefully this season the Leafs will come on top.

[SteveDangle]

@Zeppelin129 I'm glad you say that! I have awkwardly wide feet

[Zeppelin129]

@SteveDangle Good thing you can get them customized then, lol.

[eagsbaby]

Is hatguy single?

bahahaha, cause I love him.

[SteveDangle]

@eagsbaby I'd give you his # if I knew where to find him. He went into hiding after I found out about the car...

[Limper31]

Steve i've followed you from day one and I have to say...you are the man. You are going places....

Did you ever think you'd be in the position you are now? And I have to respect the fact you know you're privileged to be able to do what you do.

[SteveDangle]

@Limper31 Never in a tillion years... I heard on a show a tillion is a one followed by 17 zeros.

[LadyDecember]

xD! I had to watch that ending more than once, it just cracked me up. You've got this great charisma that translates well on-screen, Steve, good job on this one.

Everytime I see Phaneuf he seems to have this really intense look. I can't tell if he's concentrating, or attempting to look into your soul...

[SteveDangle]

@LadyDecember Thanks Ms. December! And yeah, it's an intimidating look!

[aznskydreamer]

haha love the ending

[beatle11]

Lol...the ending was funny...but you could so see where the screen was split.

[IslandersFan25]

In the video thumbnail Steve looks like John Tavares hahahaha!

[yzerman1919]

Awesome video Steve, you are really going places.

[SteveDangle]

@yzerman1919 Thanks! Hopefully nice places

[JordanStaalxlover11]

I'm so excited for the future of this team

good things are coming our way :)

[briguy100]

so steve did u do this with leafs tv or on your own??

[SteveDangle]

@briguy100 Nike

[briguy100]

@SteveDangle ya i realised it just after i typed it XD literally i pressed send and the nike symbol came up

[castonguay111]

Wow I am very impressed by the quality of the vid, the interviews also. Keep up the excellent work!

[DrewEl2]

haha the last bit was awesome

[kiba2001]

that should be like a dream come true for you congrats dude!

[SteveDangle]

@kiba2001 Thanks!

[xxVeronica92xx]

Lol so true it is the worst kept secret. I had a huge feeling that dion would be captain once he was named a leaf! And funny video :)

[SteveDangle]

@xxVeronica92xx His response was pretty funny haha.

[rangerskickass30]

hahaha

[NaworForSure]

awesome. funny how awkward Dion seemed at first though

[SteveDangle]

@NaworForSure Yeah I don't think he likes the fuss. But hey, who said the captain had to be the best quote? haha I almost prefer his this way

[SonyBoy4]

awesome video buddy, u seem like a pro every time i see ur vids and u entertain aswell with the hat guy, did u get a new jersey??

[SteveDangle]

@SonyBoy4 Thanks! Hoping to get a new one soon!

[wedgeskywalker]

Wheres my car? :O
