The Toronto Sun points out that this summer Leafs forward Nazem Kadri kept up a dedicated pace in the gym and on the ice with the club's power skating instructor, Barb Underhill.
"That's a part of the game where I can get to a different level," Kadri said. "I've put a lot of work in. I pride myself on my speed, my quickness, my reaction, but there is always room for improvement. I have a pretty good foundation and with Barb's help, I can be one of the elite skaters in the league.
"I've worked with her a couple of months now, just myself and her. If you talk to her, it's like night and day."
On the razzing he used to take on his conditioning level: "There was a point where I had to make a decision, whether I wanted to be serious or not. I didn't want to let anyone down and not let myself down, either.
"I think I have the higher expectations of myself than anyone else. I have the potential, it's just a matter of putting my nose to the grindstone."
