Nifty

Ben Danford scored in Oshawa's 7-4 win in Game 1 vs. Brampton.

He now has 5 career playoff goals in 27 games, versus 10 regular-season goals in 188 games.#LeafsForever pic.twitter.com/SnQKc0jEQm

Junior goal, but I like the activation mentality
That goal rate for playoffs though

We have signed Minnesota Golden Gophers Captain & defenseman Mike Koster to his first professional contract!! 👏✍️

Koster led the Gophers to TWO Frozen Fours and has worn the “C” for the last two years.

This isn’t league wide; it’s Oshawa’s Dundies.

Defensive Defenceman.

Easton Cowan got some votes for best penalty killer, nice to know.

I somewhat randomly thought "wonder how Victor Johansson did this season" and oddly enough there was an article posted about just that earlier today:

Maple Leafs Prospect Report: Recapping Victor Johansson's Breakout Season https://t.co/tksiPWGlPE

— Pension Plan Puppets (@PPPLeafs) April 10, 2025

His production in the top Swedish junior league went from 8 points in 34 games last season to 39 points in 47 games this season. Pretty good jump. He was also on Sweden's U-19 team in a tournament this year, so could possibly be on the radar for their 2026 WJC team.

The Defense Prospects are stacking up quite nicely

LD		RD
Noah Chadwick 6'4" 203 John Prokop 6'3" 185 Blake Smith 6'5" 225 Mikko Kokkonen 6'0" 200 Cade Webber 6'7" 212 Victor Johansson 6'1" 165		Ben Danford 6'2" 192 William Villeneuve 6'2" 183 Topi Niemela 6'0" 181 Chas Sharpe 6'3" 196

Not sure how much longer Mikko Kokkonen and Topi Niemela last with the Leafs SPC list.
Marshall Rifai is also there, but too old to be a prospect; he's more of a Justin Holl experiment.

One of two assists on the night, to go with that goal above. This one to help clinch the sweep in OT.

I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to think Cowan might be pretty good.

Working that third sweep
Edit: 3 straight sweeps for London to claim the Western Conference final. Oshawa Generals (Ben Danford) is on its way to its own Eastern Conference final sweep.
