Awesome job. Bowen's voice toward the end sent chills up and down my spine. That got me crazy pumped for playoff hockey now. Thank you.

Amateur? That was amazing. Network level even. Got me choked up at points - obv that "93Wraparound", loved the additional view you flashed from behind the net. Could have also thrown in the Gretzky high stick/goal but maybe I missed it. Regardless, thank you, a beautiful montage.

I used to tune into the broadcast 15 minutes early to make sure I caught Tim Thompson's pre-game intro... The new ones are good but ever since he left it just hasn't been the same...
I've considered starting a petition to rehire him... He's probably happily employed somewhere else, but you can tell he loves the leafs. I go back and rewatch this one every now and then:

Good stuff man! Must have taken a long time. Thanks for sharing.
…also, Joe Bowen’s calls are so much better than Hughson.

I don't get the song choice (I'm probably missing some subtlety) but this is so well done I bookmarked it. Looks like it was done by a major media outlet.

Right around Sundin I started getting some serious goosebumps all up my arms. That was very moving, thanks for making it, fine fine work. I think sometimes I almost have trouble connecting these new players to classic leafs players but this video helped bridge the gap.

That's the part that got me, too. His voice is the Toronto Maple Leafs, in my opinion.
Loved the video.

Loved how it started slow and built to a crescendo along with the song while incorporating the iconic calls from Bowen and Cole.
Some really beautiful moments, like when the young fan's upturned face is followed immediately by Rielly in the same pose, followed by Rielly taking the puck off the face.
Loved how it was very much about this year's group while also serving as an homage to great moments and players of the past. Very skillfully done and clearly with a lot of love for the blue & white. I've watched multiple times and will return again before Thursday.
Shared it with lots of friends in Leafs Nation today, including my 10-year-old son. Everyone loved it!

Habs fan here. I shared the video with some friends here in Montreal, it is really good. Toronto is ready for these playoffs I guess.

Beautiful! Never heard that version of one of my favourite songs (and all time favourite movie).
There was a guy maybe 5 years ago....can't remember his name but he used to do Leaf videos and to me should have been used by the organization, they were that good.
This one's right up there! Major props to you!
Just posted it to my Facebook page in honour of my old man. Hockey was such a huge part of our lives and our connection. In our last series versus Boston I drove two hours after work every game to watch with him by his bedside as he lay dying from cancer, then two hours back home afterwards. I knew we'd never see another season together. Never been so disappointed with a loss as that last one as I knew we'd never get another game. It's weird because winning without him around just won't be the same. Can't believe he won't be around for Leaf versus Habs.
I hope he's pulling some strings out there somewhere!

Well, how many people would be stupid enough to still be in a relationship after all the crap we have been through yet here we all remain. Stand By Me.

Funny it made me look up the video below. I was never a huge Sundin fan (admired him a lot but just wasn`t a big fanboy) but this moment by him remains one of my all time favourites:
