Is Easton Cowan’s 61-game point streak legitimate? A recent video of his supposed assist against the Kitchener Rangers has sparked controversy. Did the puck actually touch his stick, or did it deflect off two other players before the goal? The OHL leaves it to the London Knights to request a review. Does this highlight a flaw in the league’s goal review process? Should all goals be reviewed, or is the current system adequate? What are your thoughts on the streak itself? Does it hold the same weight if the assist is deemed invalid? How should the OHL handle these situations moving forward? This situation opens a larger discussion. How much do individual streaks matter in junior hockey? Are they overemphasized compared to team success and player development? Share your perspectives and let’s discuss! Could this controversy impact Cowan’s draft stock? This incident might add an interesting wrinkle to his draft narrative. Will NHL scouts overlook the controversy, or could it raise concerns about proper credit for points? Where do you see Cowan being drafted? Is he a top prospect despite, or perhaps even because of, this situation?
