As a Toronto Maple Leafs supporter, you either liked Dion Phaneuf as captain, or you hated him. There was no middle ground.
One group of Phaneuf's detractors has a suite Saturday night at the Air Canada Centre, as the defenceman returns to Toronto as a member of the Ottawa Senators. It's safe to say they're big fans of Maple Leafs general manager Lou Lamoriello.

Phaneuf has "mixed emotions" ahead of his return, but his new Ottawa teammates helped him feel a bit at ease during their morning skate.
Everytime Dion Phaneuf touches the puck during the morning skate his teammates boo him. #Sens

Phaneuf will have a letter on his sweater as he takes to Toronto ice again.
