May Shows Promise

[FacebookFighter 67]

It may have been a shock when Owen May found out that the Moscow management traded for Roger Sterling. Sterling a veteran goaltender who spent his last few seasons in Seattle was traded to Vancouver last year in their improbable run to the cup final. Again he finds himself on a surging team looking for a cup run. A tough but serviceable season has been hidden behind a surging office. Sterling has been the starting goaltender and will prove vital if Moscow seeks the cup. Providing support for Sterling is the sophomore goaltender Owen May.

 

A reduced role has seen May find some success after a rough freshman campaign. On the ice it looks as if May has had a burden released from his shoulders. He jumped from a sub .900 to almost .920 this season. The shot stopper has been playing in a third of the games and has been showing that it was the right choice by the Moscow management.

 

"There's been a lot of emotions lately and not having to shoulder this heavy workload has made me feel at ease. I feel comfortable in my own skin which is something I couldn't have said last year."

 

Look for him to be the wildcard in the playoffs if he gets a chance to start.
