TORONTO - Brendan Shanahan wants the Toronto Maple Leafs to own the puck, but hell wait and see how the teams identity develops over his first season as president.Addressing reporters Wednesday before the opener against the Montreal Canadiens, Shanahan hesitated to make sweeping generalizations about what he expects from a group thats different from the one that collapsed to miss last years playoffs.We certainly have some hopes, but things like your identity are not something that you say the afternoon of the home opener, Shanahan said. Its something that you earn by going out on the ice and establishing your identity.Shanahan said he encouraged players to write their story individually and as a team. The Leafs story before he took over was of disappointing endings, whether it be the Game 7 debacle against the Boston Bruins in 2013 or the way things fell apart with 12 losses in 14 games last spring.One thing Shanahan wants the Leafs to do better is hold onto the puck. They had the worst possession statistics in the NHL in 2013-14.The puck is something that we have to own a little bit more, Shanahan said. There are teams that are built different ways to own the puck and have the puck. Thats the key to the hockey game.Minutes after coach Randy Carlyle said qualifying for the playoffs was one way for the Leafs to consider this season a success, Shanahan said the message to fans shouldnt be in words but in actions.That was Carlyles message to his players, too.There was a lot of time and effort put in over the course of the summer months to try to establish a template in which we would expect our players to play to, he said. Now its time to apply that. The last words I said to the players: Its up to you now.Without an enforcer on the opening-night roster, Carlyle has stressed team toughness.To Shanahan, that means something very specific.Players that when the temperature of a game goes up, they dont shrink, Shanahan said. To me it doesnt matter what your size is, where youre from. To me, as the temperature of a game goes up, players that sort of relish that moment and dont shrink in that role are players that impress us as a management group.---Follow @SWhyno on Twitter Vincent Kompany Belgium Jersey .

The Bombers unveiled newcomer Drew Willy on Friday, a day after acquiring the young quarterback from the Saskatchewan Roughriders. And OShea immediately named Willy as his starter. "You see a guy who has been tutored by some good coaches," said OShea. "Hes ready for this." Winnipeg has two other quarterbacks on its roster -- Max Hall and Justin Goltz. And although Willy has made just four career CFL starts, OShea believes his time has come. "Its important to this franchise to have a quarterback and a guy that everybody can believe in.," OShea said. Willy, 27, played two seasons behind Darian Durant with the Roughriders. He said he prides himself on his passing accuracy and feels comfortable in all situations but also expects to learn by doing. "Being behind a guy like Darian Durant you learn a lot," he said. "Ive learned from George Cortez, you learn a ton. Obviously Ive had Khari Jones in my ear the last two years as well." Cortez is Saskatchewans offensive co-ordinator. Jones was the clubs quarterback coach in 2012 and 2013, before becoming the B.C. Lions offensive co-ordinator. "Its something for the fans and for the coaching staff, the management, to be excited about," OShea said of Willys signing. The Bombers are in dire need of a starter who can win games and fill seats at their new stadium. Thee club posted a 3-15 record last season that tied a modern franchise record for futility.dddddddddddd. The Bombers approached free agents Zach Collaros and Henry Burris. But Collaros signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats while Burris joined the expansion Ottawa Redblacks. Winnipeg GM Kyle Walters denied Willy was necessarily third on the Bombers list but also didnt rule out adding another quarterback to the roster. "Were always looking to improve our team, free agency trades . . . well explore all options all the time to improve our team and promote competition at every position," he said. But Walters had nothing but praise for the young quarterback theyre hanging their hopes on right now. "Pocket awareness, toughness, what drew put on film showed that hes ready to be a starting quarterback in this league," he said. Willy started two games in 2013, going 1-1. He earned his first career CFL win as a rookie, a come-from behind win at Winnipeg in the Banjo Bowl. He finished 17-of-23 passing for 188 yards and a touchdown while also running for another. Willy played at the University of Buffalo where he was the most prolific passer in school history, setting records for completions (849), attempts (1,322), passing yards (8,748), touchdowns (52), total offence (8,639), and completion percentage (64.2). He also spent some time in the NFL on practice squads in Indianapolis, Baltimore, San Diego, and New York and played in the UFL with Las Vegas in 2010.
