My Google Reader is remarkably short of Leafs content today, but I suppose given the circumstances, that's not exactly surprising. The only tidbit I found (and I suspect many of you will have read it already) was a story published yesterday at MLHS that said the Leafs are interested in another Swedish goalie prospect named Mark Owuya. The original link is from Aftonbladet, which, although I don't read Swedish, seems to me like a reliable source.
Alex Tran had this to say about him:
Now in terms of playing style, this is where most comparisons can be thrown out the door. Standing at 6’2, Owuya possesses adequate size for a goaltender but does not play a true stand-up or butterfly style. The technical skills in terms of smooth transitions and sound positioning aren’t quite as sharp as they should be, nor does he boast the kind of elite athleticism or quickness that would supposedly be able to compensate.
And THAT'S how you credit a blog for finding and translating an article. Hey Toronto Sun, are you taking notes?
