Leafs Prospect Stares Down Crosby and Refuses to Blink

A Maple Leafs prospect went into the Worlds with the kind of target on his back that usually makes young players shrink, and instead he stared straight at Sidney Crosby. That is not normal rookie behavior - that is the sort of moment scouts remember when they start talking about nerve, not just skill. Toronto loves prospects who can handle speed, but the league always pays extra for the ones who do not get rattled when the big names show up.
