The Carolina Hurricanes hope to remain perfect

Phaneuf got traded to Toronto where his defensive play has had its good days and its bad days. The embarrassing plays have continued as we recently saw this massive collision with his own teammate. Would this happen to any other player but Dion Phaneuf? :But still he has gained many fans in Toronto, especially when he takes out rivals with their heads down:The high risk high reward style of Phaneuf could not have been more evident during last years playoffs. After poorly executing a pinch in Game 4 and costing the Leafs the game, it seemed like everyone in Toronto had finally had enough of their captain:But of course what did Phaneuf do next in that series? He pinched again, and it worked. In Game 6 he jumped up in the play and scored a third period goal which propelled the Leafs to victory:Redemption. That took a lot of guts considering what happened the last time he pinched at home.It is clear that Phaneuf brings the good and the bad no matter where he plays. It will be interesting to see how the Leafs end up handling him. Do you think he should be traded, or kept as the captain of the Maple Leafs? Tweet us @BarDown.
