Sheldon Keefe Gives His Honest Thoughts On Bertuzzi
The Maple Leafs got off to a relatively slow start this season but they appear to be rounding into form as they defeated the Stars in Dallas 4-1 Thursday night. After the game, head coach Sheldon Keefe was highly complimentary of one of his new players.
Keefe Praises Bertuzzi

He also complimented the winger's improved skating, crediting it for his goal Thursday night.
