Whoo whoo who's awesome?
6th overall in GAA
9th in save %
that's right, #1 in the WHL in wins.
What does the Postmaster General have to say about this?
"At the start of the year, I didn't think it would be going this well," said Owsley, an 18-year-old native of Lethbridge, Alberta. "Every game, every start, I get more confident. It's pretty surreal to think I'm a starting goalie in this league. Last year I didn't know when I would get to play."Not only that, it seems more people are also (finally) believing in Drew Owsley. Y'all should make signs, jussayin. (says the one who lost her sign and hasn't had time to make a replacement. shit.)
"I worked out a lot this summer with (Americans goaltending consultant) Jerry Price," Owsley said. "He's taught me a lot. I knew there would be a great battle and I was prepared."
"I think getting to play every game and getting into a rhythm has helped," Owsley said. "Last year I was having to wait 10 games or more between starts. I'm getting in a groove and gaining confidence. It takes me back to when I was playing midget and starting every game. I'm in a comfort zone this year." (Herald)
Anyways, it's game night, AMS back home to take on the visiting Prince Albert Raiders. Raiders have been making their swing through the US Division, and have gone 1-3 on their trip, beating only Seattle (surprise, surprise). Not that they didn't play well against Portland and Everett so they should most certainly not be taken lightly. Duh, no opponent should be.

What a great story for a great kid. I love it! Thanks for keeping us fringe followers up to date, Hammer!
i'm making a sign.
As was mentioned on the message board, we have the second fewest goals-against in the WHL...only Everett has fewer, but they have only played 6 games.
Owsley is delivering the mail for sure, with help from the "Pony Express" defense.
I BELIEVE!!
