Featured 2009 Moment
Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Nazem Kadri scored the game tying goal and the shootout winner to help the Leafs win their 4th pre-season game. - TSN.
--quote-- "Hopefully, I'm making the decision hard," said Kadri, who is aiming to make the big club right out of juniors. "I appreciate (coach) Ron (Wilson) giving me the opportunity to go out there in some big situations. I think it's really building my confidence."
While Kadri is still likely a long shot to make the Maple Leafs, Wilson has been impressed with the London, Ontario native.
"If he goes back to junior, I'd be shocked if he didn't get 100 points in the OHL," Wilson said. "He's very confident in a positive way. He really believes in himself." --/quote-- NHL.com
