How does this keep happening. - Author: Cathy Squires - Tags: From The Branches The Leafs play Wednesday and Saturday this week, both games at home. Sunday night was the OHL playoffs game number two for most teams. ### Easton Cowan > #Leafs prospect Easton Cowan with another two point game, with a primary assist and a goal, four shots on net, and going 5/5 winning faceoffs. He has four points through the first two games of the playoffs. > > — [Bastard Treliving (@brigstew.bsky.social)](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:h6xjndnh6l6sdkll3m4dhwqz?ref%5Fsrc=embed&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [2025-03-30T20:34:50.532Z](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:h6xjndnh6l6sdkll3m4dhwqz/post/3llmoy5mf722a?ref%5Fsrc=embed&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) London beat Owen Sound 4-0\. A reminder, the Knights swept the first two rounds last year. ### Ben Danford Oshawa lost their game, so this series is now tied. ### Sam McCue Flint went down in flames to the Kitchener Rangers. Facing them was always going to be a tough ask, but the Rangers are now up 2-0 in the series. ### Nathan Mayes > #Leafs prospect Nathan Mayes (#5 in white/red) jumps into the rush and gets a pretty good scoring chance, which ultimately leads to a secondary assist for him. It's his second point of the game, bringing him to 3 points in the first 2 playoff games. > > — [Bastard Treliving (@brigstew.bsky.social)](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:h6xjndnh6l6sdkll3m4dhwqz?ref%5Fsrc=embed&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [2025-03-31T00:17:35.421Z](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:h6xjndnh6l6sdkll3m4dhwqz/post/3lln3ghefn22a?ref%5Fsrc=embed&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > #Leafs prospect Nathan Mayes (#5 in white/red) with the rim around, gets him a secondary assist on the flukey goal that happened right after. He has two points in the first two games of the playoffs so far. > > — [Bastard Treliving (@brigstew.bsky.social)](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:h6xjndnh6l6sdkll3m4dhwqz?ref%5Fsrc=embed&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [2025-03-30T23:47:13.125Z](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:h6xjndnh6l6sdkll3m4dhwqz/post/3llmzq5idp22a?ref%5Fsrc=embed&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Mayes team ultimately won the game 7-5\. All the relevant OHL and WHL series resume on Tuesday night, with the exception of Nathan Mayes series, which is back Wednesday. --- > The [#Canes](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Canes?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) have acquired Tampa Bay's sixth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft in exchange for forward Lucas Mercuri. > > Details » [https://t.co/9p2oMgCjc5](https://t.co/9p2oMgCjc5?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/Dgaa4ArYlB](https://t.co/Dgaa4ArYlB?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Carolina Hurricanes (@Canes) [March 30, 2025](https://twitter.com/Canes/status/1906436425215869158?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) This is actually the signing rights to an NCAA player. > Carolina is trading the rights of UMass forward Lucas Mercuri to [#GoBolts](https://twitter.com/hashtag/GoBolts?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) in exchange for a 2025 6th Round Pick. > > Tampa Bay is signing Mercuri to an entry-level deal that begins next season; he was ineligible to play this season post-deadline. > > — Frank Seravalli (@frank\_seravalli) [March 30, 2025](https://twitter.com/frank%5Fseravalli/status/1906440958830379293?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) He would be ineligible for Tampa because he wasn't on their reserve list at the trade deadline. --- > Final from St. Paul. > > Toronto Sceptres x [@IntactInsurance](https://twitter.com/IntactInsurance?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/iYzfBmU4ku](https://t.co/iYzfBmU4ku?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Toronto Sceptres (@PWHL\_Toronto) [March 30, 2025](https://twitter.com/PWHL%5FToronto/status/1906429921251279321?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Not the result the Sceptres wanted with the ability to clinch in their hands, but I'm not surprised by this. Toronto is making the playoffs, and Minnesota could fall out of a playoff spot all too easily. They had a lot more on the line. The Sceptres return in late April with playoffs to follow. --- > #Leafs prospect Luke Haymes (#62 in blue) showing off his two way play in this clip. Defend the blueline to create a turnover, gets the pass to transition the puck up the ice, really good and hard shot the goalie couldn't handle to get the primary assist. He has two points today in his weekend debut > > — [Bastard Treliving (@brigstew.bsky.social)](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:h6xjndnh6l6sdkll3m4dhwqz?ref%5Fsrc=embed&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [2025-03-30T21:34:51.290Z](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:h6xjndnh6l6sdkll3m4dhwqz/post/3llmsdhkrhc2a?ref%5Fsrc=embed&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Happy Monday, everyone.
