  • Kadri gets better of old coach in Maple Leafs' win

    Toronto Sun "For one brief moment on Monday night, foe became friend.

  • Leafs' Kadri continues to impress

    Toronto Sun "Nazem Kadri did not lead the Maple Leafs in the scoring parade against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night. In fact, he had zero points in Toronto’s 6-0 win.
