From Mark Masters on Easton Cowan... I'm now worried for Matthews and Knies, you guys, someone make sure they're okay!

#Leafs prospect Sam McCue announced on his socials that he's moving to the NCAA. It's not a big college program, but he was losing ice time with Brantford so he's probably hoping he'll get more time with Bowling Green.

I remember someone describing Sidney Crosby as the greatest, most skilled grinder in NHL history.

This is my way of saying Cowan plays like that, just not nearly at the same level lol. He's a grinder who has some skill.

This is even more funny because now it's 5 assists in 4 games

3 assists in 4 games? Who'd have thought that Knies would become the playmaking replacement for Marner lol

That sounds like a YouTube video title.

I'm not often one to "COME ON, REF!" but.... come on!

missed holding call on Matthews

The speed with which you sent the reply is something I both fear and respect lmao

A Matthew goal, set up by Knies, with Cowan's first NHL point?

My heart 🥺

#Leafs prospect Alexander Plesovskikh (#19 in grey/red) scores during a mad scramble in front of the net for his 7th goal of the season. He's up to 15 points in 13 games in the MHL to start the season.

#Leafs prospect Miroslav Holinka is just playing with his food by now. A spinning primary assist on the powerplay for his 5th point of the game. He's up to 11 points in 6 games to start the season. He's #92 in red/blue. Just an absurd game.

What makes it downright impossible is you also kind of have to protect Tavares and Nylander too. Hard to protect two of four lines.

HOLY HOLINKA!

Let's count the fun leading to his primary assist, his 4th point of the game. He's #92 in red.

1) Chips the puck over a guy's stick
2) Deke through his own legs
3) Cutback along the boards to get space
4) Perfect pass into the slot when his teammate has two defenders around him

#Leafs prospect Ben Danford with a pretty brilliant pass for the primary assist on the powerplay. It was so brilliant I was 100% sure it was a shot (maybe for a deflection) until I saw other angles of the replay and you could see the forward calling for the pass, and Danford hit the spot perfectly.

I think they're also just slow.

#Leafs prospect Miroslav Holinka with a major case of deja vu. He picks up a loose puck at his own blueline, leads a 2 on 1, keeps it and snipes it himself for his 2nd goal of the game, 7th of the season, and 3rd point of the game. He's up to 9 points in 6 games.

#Leafs prospect Miroslav Holinka (#92 in red/blue) corrals a loose puck off a scramble and gets the secondary assist on the ensuing goal. It's his second point of the day, giving him 8 points in 7 games to start the season.

I cannot emphasize enough how much I do not want to consume any creative media made by AI. I'm not impressed by them churning out something entirely derivative on already published books any more than I'm impressed by a calculator able to do math.
marcorinaldi.bsky.social
Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.
Bookseller article with the headline "New publisher Spines aims to 'disrupt' industry by using AI to publish 8,000 books in 2025 alone" 🤮🤮🤮

#Leafs prospect Nathan Mayes (#5 in white/red) carries it end to end and makes a perfect backhand pass out to Mathis Preston in the slot for the pretty primary assist. It's his first point in 5 games so far this season.

First NHL point for Greb 🥺

It's just a little poke at the puck to keep it in as he's going to the bench and a secondary assist but still. 🥺🥺🥺

#Leafs prospect Harry Nansi (#34 in white) with a beautiful pass from the boards, hitting his teammate in stride as he cuts through the middle of the ice. Nansi is up to 10 points in his first 7 games this year.
