Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill welcome Maple Leafs prospect Easton Cowan ahead of the Calder Cup Playoffs. The rookie breaks down what to expect from the Marlies’ postseason push while reflecting on his first taste of NHL action this season.

Cowan opens up about scoring his first NHL goal in Philadelphia, adjusting to the day-to-day grind of life in the league, and the biggest lessons he’s taken from his rookie year in Toronto. He also addresses the controversial Radko Gudas knee-on-knee involving Auston Matthews—admitting there’s still plenty of frustration and regret over how he handled the moment, and why it’s shaping his mindset moving forward.

Plus, Cowan discusses his first NHL fight, his evolving identity as a player, and even sneaks in some love for his hometown Blue Jays.
