It’s great to see a Toronto team play their hearts out and win a Championship. I’m proud of how the Marlies played, throughout the Playoffs. The majority of these guys will never play an NHL game, but they do everything possible to be as good as they can possibly be. It highlights that there are players, with the Marlies, that can and will someday be on the Leafs full time. It’s easy to see Cowan as an integral part of the Leafs going forward. For 2 years in a row, he’s been a Champion. Last year, with the London Knights of the OHL, and now an AHL Championship with the Marlboro’s. Quillen looks like he may finally break through, as a 3rd or 4th line player and Danford, coming straight out of Junior, to becoming a Calder Cup Champion, will possibly be on the Leafs. If injuries occur, Danford will step in and earn his minutes. Of course both of the Marlies goalies will see time with the Leafs this year, with Hildeby sticking due to his waiver status. It’s why Woll was traded and Cap space opened. Six weeks ago, the Leafs organization was in ruins. Today there’s hope, with a Farm team winning a Championship and also the draft lottery win. Maybe some puck luck may be finally be shining on the Leafs going forward.
