Last season, I took exception to Toronto rookie defenseman Luke Schenn 's inflated opinion of himself, notably in terms of the scribble that was his autograph. As you can see, it's improved a bit -- but not that much -- during his sophomore season with the Loafs.

Schenn should, however, be commended for signing more than on following the team's morning skate last Wednesday.

In the interest of full disclosure, the Team Canada Under-18 card, right, came from Moody, Hound Central 5.0's roving Southeast correspondent.
