Cowen with a goal - 6-1 London another 4 points for Cowen with a period to go.
And basically none of us saw this coming when they went off the consensus draft rankings to snag the kid.What a draft pick
I don't think anyone could predict the double MVP but some thought he was the BPA when he was drafted.And basically none of us saw this coming when they went off the consensus draft rankings to snag the kid.

He still has a chance for CHL and Memorial Cup MVPs too!I was team Cowan but didn't have double MVP on the bingo card.

I have seen a few people say this. Not sure why.Dude is gonna be Matt Stajan. Good 3C who could slide up in a pinch.

Stajan averaged about 10 goals a season and never scored 20 in a year.
I have to think there is much more offense in Cowan's future.
I haven't seen hundreds of Marner or Cowan hightlights from Junior. But they look very similar in what I did see. For example, Marner used to drive the net a lot. He's a perimeter player in the NHL.Stajan was really considered a glue guy in Calgary.
Not the top line center they sold to the fans, but he was well accepted and appreciated in Calgary.
I don't think Stajan had the kind of drive that we've seen from Cowan.
It's Minten being compared to Stajan, not Cowan.I have seen a few people say this. Not sure why.

Fyi, I am referring to Minten here. Cowan is a massive wildcard still to me. Maybe he is as good as his contemporaries in the OHL lore, but it's strange because each of those guys had a "thing" that really separated them from other players. I'm still not really sure what Cowan's "thing" really is.I have seen a few people say this. Not sure why.

THat's the thing... it doesn't matter if we score a lot, or not much at all... if every line can win their battles, and be a plus 5v5.... and you've got good special teams, you win.The thing that excites me about Minten was that 21-2 5v5 playoff stat. The points might have been a little underwhelming, but you're doing something right, if not special, at C if you can win your minutes that convincingly. Maybe there was matchup shenanigans afoot, but to come out of 7 game series against a roster with all Firkus/Yager/Savoie/Mateychuk is.. impressive

Have you not watched him ?Fyi, I am referring to Minten here. Cowan is a massive wildcard still to me.
