[thewave]

If you're not first, you're last!

We have a goalie problem.

Yeah, but its a good goalie problem, and WON that doesnt need to be settled until next off-season.

 

[HavingACow4Cowan]

Awesome. Great to see.

With the Marlies being the Calder Cup Champions and the Leafs having the number one pick in this year's draft, maybe the future isn't as bleak as some think.

Marlies #1!!

If you're not first, you're last!

And this year we managed to finish both first and last

Good job boys!

Sadly aside from Cowan, AA and Danford I don’t think any of those guys are realistic options in the NHL

Quillan could contend for the 4C spot next season IMO

Bo, Sim, Willyneuve, Quillan, Haymes.

Edit - The list kept growing.

 

[KMNRB]

So we won the championship by beating the farm team of the stanley cup champion!

Villeneuve should still be in the picture ...
Chadwick same age as Cowan.
Tverberg got 2 games NHL this year.

 

[Brobust]

Now it's time to argue about whether this team contributes to the leafs next season.

 

[mclaren55]

So hyped for these guys. Bonus that Cowan had a great playoffs, 18p in 22 games for the kid! 3A tonight to seal the deal.

 

[Rob Brown]

Dope sauce.

So hyped for these guys. Bonus that Cowan had a great playoffs, 18p in 22 games for the kid! 3A tonight to seal the deal.

And he wasn't 100% for the entire playoffs.

Seemed to get better later in the playoffs.

 

[TMLeafer]

Congratulations to the Marlies!

Could see Groulx in the bottom six too.

Congratulations Toronto Marlies! This was a fun run to keep track of. A total team that rallied behind a goaltender who came through time & time again. Offensively, they got contributions from veterans & youngsters alike. I wanna give credit to Landon Sim. When the Marlies were down 2-0 & looked dead, he stepped up scoring a big goal near the end of the period. He rallied the team & they had a 3 goal second period.

I was curious about how many guys made the NHL when the Marlies last won the Calder Cup & I counted about 10 names that made it. I get it, this team is more veteran laden, just cause you win in the AHL doesn’t mean that you are guaranteed an instant NHL impact. I still think it is a great thing for the players that do make the NHL to experience success, to play in high intensity competitive games & see what makes a winning team. It’s great for Easton Cowan, Ben Danford, AA & the others who will surprise to have been a part of this run…

Full marks to the organization from top to bottom.
