I did exactly what they told me, trying to be the player they want me to be. I think Im well on my way. "Ive got 100 games in this league. I dont think thats a little. I understand youve got to play 82 games. Im becoming more mature and every year its getting easier." Files from The Toronto Star and Toronto Sun were used for this report. ' ' '
