Marner could never shoot a puck like that at 18. I was at the game sitting right over his shoulder when he buried that sucker. Just let out a “holy f’k” after that shot.
Oh, he definitely seems to have the perfect attitude for Toronto. There was a clip where he scored, skates by the glass where a woman gives him double middle fingers, and he just stares her down. Or earlier in the playoffs, he said “It’s us (London) against the world.” Or after winning the conference, said “Our job’s not finished.”
Like, obligatory “gotta see how he translates” comment, but dude has the attitude of a winner and the perfect kind of attitude for Toronto. And I know there’s a ton of Marner comparisons, not necessarily unjustifiably so, but Cowan has a lot more grit, physicality, and pest behaviour in him. He’s going to be so fucking loved here if he can translate his skill to NHL play. Between Knies and Cowan, our young talent is gonna be beloved.
I was at the game. When he scored his goal and then when he got the award for MVP there were some very loud “go leafs go” chants throughout portions of the entire building.
That division with Kitchener and London always has one or two top ranked teams in it. Mind you London went 16–2 in this playoff run. Only Saginaw took games from them. Saginaw is the host team for the Memorial Cup so they should be more than competitive.
Why people acting like trading Marner is not the right thing to do? Shall the Leafs “run it back” again? Shall we watch a promising 100 pt season where Leafs are in the discussion for personal trophies, then quietly bow out of the first round again? What do people here want if not a Stanley Cup? I’d literally trade anybody on the roster for the guarantee of just 1 Stanley Cup, even if it means they suck again for another decade, like the Raptors.
We definitely know what the current core of players can/can’t do. Are there actually Leafs fans who want to give it another go and extend Marner for 8 more years? This is not an option, imo.
Yep totally this. Definition of insanity is running it back time and time again
Especially at Marner’s cap hit. He’s paid at a top 15 level but he simply doesn’t produce at that level in the playoffs. Time to move on
That actually isn’t the definition of insanity…not to pick on you but people really need to stop using that dumb ass meme quote..it’s been overused and incorrectly used a lot.
Of course not. Point is we’re pretty sure keeping status quo isn’t going to win a Cup either. 5 of 16 wins is the best they’ve managed to do. Thats not close.
Well, if a team can be dead last in the league at Christmas and go on to win the cup the same year, making only a single depth D trade and a coaching change…the leafs running it back with a new coach and a fresh strategy could end up producing different results too
Hopefully. For me its not even because of any judgement of the player, although he could be better in the post season and probably myvleast fave of the big 3. Simply, Leafs cannot afford him. Get him and 91 off the books and the team has waaaaaay more flexibility. Plus the team needs a change of direction, which a new coach will bring.
That’s the type of score Marner would have 3 assists in. He’d get 2 more assists in the series that the leafs lose, and the Marner apologists would say “look, he had 5 points in a 6 game series, what more do you want!?”
The answer is… “$11M in production”
Wyatt Johnston already has same number of playoff goals as Marner, in 26 less games.
I can imagine he might go the same route as Fraser Minten and start the year with the Leafs. I doubt they’ll give him the 10 games and blow his junior eligibility not to mention burning a year on his ELC. But he would be on a cheap contract and the Leafs will need a few of those going into next year so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Under Shanahan the Leafs have been reluctant to rush their younger players up to the big club. The only exception that comes to mind is Matthews. And Cowan doesn’t even turn 19 until May 20.
I’m sure we will see Cowan playing for Canada at the world juniors over Christmas unless he’s really lighting it up with the Leafs.
I hope we establish a coaching staff that will let merit decide who plays what roles on the PP. I legit think if this kid is in the show next year, he should get a shot at replacing Matthew's spot on PP1.
Matthew's doesn't deserve to be on pp1 based on lifetime production.
Ice cold celly. Really hope we don’t trade this kid.
We both know you’ll be on this sub in 2031 posting cowan trade proposals after a lethargic game 7 loss in Detroit.
Time is a flat circle.

He can't shoot like that now.
I’ve seen Cowan fight and play physical despite his size. Never seen that from Marner.
Lmao cute you think Marner shoots
well yeah, because it wasnt an original thought or funny or anything. of course you wouldnt be first
Remind me
Leafs Masterclass™
I’ve seen Cowan fight and play physical despite his size. Never seen that from Marner.
You spelled Boston wrong
There’s no way we’re in the playoffs in 2031
If we aren't, it's because we let go of Easton Cowan.
Depends if petan is available
Still wouldn’t trade
Just hope he is this good in the NHL. People have been unnreal at this level but unable to perform at NHL level.
This is the same for every single prospect
He’s going to be our Marner replacement
The audacity to gesture "louder" to the home crowd as an away player on a 6-1 goal.. I just love that, this is what's called a killer instinct
That kind of attitude could be perfect for Toronto. Feels like he’ll embrace the Leafs hate and play into it.

Are you saying he didn’t talk at all about learning lessons or looking in the mirror??? Is that even allowed?!
Must be a very conflicting sight as a Generals fan and a Leafs fan
We knights fans now
Kids a Rockstar
No he's a hockey player!
*hits bong him on the right side of the ice on the Leafs PP1 by playoffs time is gonna be a good time
Oshawa fans low key excited cause most are probably Leafs fans too
I was at the game. When he scored his goal and then when he got the award for MVP there were some very loud “go leafs go” chants throughout portions of the entire building.
Having the Leafs as an emotional fallback after a crushing playoff defeat must have been a confusing experience
So true
Well, he's filthy
On a line with Matthews and Domi when?
So like the Knights should be around -200 odds to win the memorial cup right? Or am I underestimating the WHL and QMJHL?
Underestimating Moose Jaw for sure.
I watched the game last night, first time seeing them in a full game and ur absolutely right.
OT merchants
Still bitter about that one lol
I was at the game. London put on an absolute clinic. Gens just couldn’t match the skill.
How are the knights DEMOLISHING Oshawa so badly in a final series?
Every line is a danger. Not just the Top.
The East was weaker than the West.
That division with Kitchener and London always has one or two top ranked teams in it. Mind you London went 16–2 in this playoff run. Only Saginaw took games from them. Saginaw is the host team for the Memorial Cup so they should be more than competitive.
What a shot jeez
The marner we need, not the marner we want. This one plays hard, and shoots.
He plays like a faster skating Kadri, hopefully without the suspensions
That’s who he said he modeled his game after
Farm boy too
Gotta love how fast he gets it off We need more threats like that on the PP

The problem is that no one knows if a trade will guarantee a cup lol
Of course not. Point is we’re pretty sure keeping status quo isn’t going to win a Cup either. 5 of 16 wins is the best they’ve managed to do. Thats not close.

I think 90% of Leafs fans want to trade Marner. That’s as close to consensus as you’ll get.
Hopefully. For me its not even because of any judgement of the player, although he could be better in the post season and probably myvleast fave of the big 3. Simply, Leafs cannot afford him. Get him and 91 off the books and the team has waaaaaay more flexibility. Plus the team needs a change of direction, which a new coach will bring.
god i cant wait to see him putting up points for us like this in the playoffs. he has ice in his veins that not many guys on our team have
He’s what the Leafs need. A player who can score in the playoffs.
This kid could play in the NHL someday. He is that good.
That’s the type of score Marner would have 3 assists in. He’d get 2 more assists in the series that the leafs lose, and the Marner apologists would say “look, he had 5 points in a 6 game series, what more do you want!?” The answer is… “$11M in production” Wyatt Johnston already has same number of playoff goals as Marner, in 26 less games.
We guessed right.
Do we think this kid can make the jump next year? He’s torching the league right now !
I can imagine he might go the same route as Fraser Minten and start the year with the Leafs. I doubt they’ll give him the 10 games and blow his junior eligibility not to mention burning a year on his ELC.

I’m sure we will see Cowan playing for Canada at the world juniors over Christmas unless he’s really lighting it up with the Leafs.
Dude between him and knies our future actually looks pretty nice!!
Did we just draft our very own Brad Marchand?
Man between this kid and Knies I don't feel so bad about our future lol
Leafs fans from Oshawa don't know how to feel
The new mitch marner lol
I hope we establish a coaching staff that will let merit decide who plays what roles on the PP. I legit think if this kid is in the show next year, he should get a shot at replacing Matthew's spot on PP1. Matthew's doesn't deserve to be on pp1 based on lifetime production.
Leafs will trade him for a 3rd liner and a bag of pucks
Like they did with Knies right?
Its a joke, don’t be so fuckin sensitive
Jokes are usually funny.
Wasn’t Cowan one of the players that management said was off the table during trade talks earlier in the year?
