Well from what I've seen his offensive skills are unquestionable, his vision is uncanny and his hockey sense is outstanding. Pretty much exact opposite of everything you said he was.

Forget what your eyes tell you, listen tom the guy who says getzlaf is best player in the league.

Does TSN do regional broadcasts? As far as I know the game was televised nationally, but would have to have confirmation from people from other markets, as I am in the Senators' market.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Are they not doing regional for the Jets games?

How? I am reasonable, when you tell me the greatness of Jake Gardiner, a player I followed for 3 years before who you even knew who he was, well it is my job to tell you the truth, the fact of the matter is his own coach questions his hockey sense offensively he has much to prove.

Everytime it's a player the Leafs gave up, that player is a guaranteed superstar. If the Leafs have him, he sucks and will never amount to anything. You only want to see how a player develops if he's a Leaf property and looks god.

He's been fantastic in the preseason thus far. Amazing trade by Burke.

Really?

Bob Mckenzie says scouts worry about his hockey sense and ability to make plays ..

Maybe getting ahead of yourself with the use of the word "outstanding?"

Don't get me wrong, he might be a 3/4 d man if he pans out. But he hasn't exactly played a lot of hockey since that article. I doubt much has changed.

It's not like over the summer he went to the rink and tripled his "hockey sense"

Either way using the word outstanding was clearly pretty homerish.

Everything I;ve seen in this camp and the rookie camp goes against that. He's proving them wrong. And it has been outstanding, if only in preseason.

Yes they are and the channel is TSN Jets and is (on Bell) #423 & #1423, the Bruins Senators game was on TSN national channel (on Bell) #400...........so I suspect the game in question was televised nationally.

Leafs recent history is littered with "amazing" performances by prospects in pre-season, only to come to a halt when the real games start

With Leino they are cup favourites though. Hardly a fair comment.

Sabres are cup contenders. No shame losing to them.
