GDT: Sens @ Leafs - 7pm SBA

[HockeyVirus]

Cowan is unreal

 

[supermann_98]

Cowan is going to have a bronze statue on legends row

 

[DarkKnight]

53 you beauty.

 

[PromisedLand]

COW is BEASTMODE

 

[therealkoho]

Cowan and Minten both look like players, something to look forward to

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Easton McDavid out there

 

[DarkKnight]

Cowan isn't small, he's very sturdy.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Cowan is a stud. Incredible motor.

 

[SprDaVE]

Good play by Klingberg to pinch in and keep the play alive. Bertuzzi needs to tip that McCabe shot though.

 

[Stephen]

Cowan is going to be special.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

We could have signed Schenn and Acciari for less than the price of one Klinberg. I get that the 1-year term gives us more flexibility with our core free agents, but those signings would have given us a better chance to win imo.

 

[Aashir]

Almost 10 games since we’ve scored 2+ goals

 

[therealkoho]

Do they keep Cowan or Minten for a 9 game trial?

 

[supermann_98]

Maybe the scouting staff has more to do with drafting guys like Cowan and Knies than Dubas did, but some will still say Dubas' drafting record was great

 

[notbias]

At least the bad for the first two preseason games have mostly come from the bottom of the lineup or lower-tiered prospects.

The top players have looked like they are ready and top-tiered prospects have looked good (even Niemela after the first 5 mins).

 

[Sypher04]

Cowan and Minten both look like players, something to look forward to

Cowan, Minten, Robertson and Knies some nice forward youth both ready and coming

 

[notbias]

Do they keep Cowan or Minten for a 9 game trial?

We will be running 11-7 I think... don't see any way to keep them.

 

[SprDaVE]

Another great play from Klingberg at the blueline.

 

[PromisedLand]

Marner muffins still super soft huh

 

[IPS]

I don't think the insane amount of criticism is warranted. People are scrutinizing every detail is insane to me right now. He's had some tough plays but he's made good plays too. Pretty sure he's leading the team in shots for? He's doing something decent.

I haven't been keeping up with the thread very close, just pointing out what I've seen.

 

[Notsince67]

Cowan can't even drink a beer at a bar in Toronto. Let's put his accomplishment in perspective.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Maybe the scouting staff has more to do with drafting guys like Cowan and Knies than Dubas did, but some will still say Dubas' drafting record was great

It's a weird flex considering neither are exactly "Dubas type" players.

 

[Aashir]

That was a terrible play by the sens player

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Niemela looks much better after a shaky start

 

[IPS]

Maybe the scouting staff has more to do with drafting guys like Cowan and Knies than Dubas did, but some will still say Dubas' drafting record was great

Anything positive leftover from Dubas' tenure is more than welcome. The guy traded virtually all the picks we had, he needed a few homeruns to even anything out.
