GOALIES @ THE ASG GREG CLEGANE One of the finest goaltenders of this generation had a harder time than expected at the S51 All Star Game representing Team Der Meister, allowing 3 goals on the 11 shots he faced, giving the Legion backstop a save percentage of 0.727, a far cry from his league leading 0.940 this season when representing Toronto. Who knows what contributing factors may have harmed his performance here, but it was undoubtedly a very out of character performance from Clegane at the ASG this season. ARIEL WEINSTEIN Calgary Wranglers goalie Ariel Weinstein has arguably been the second best goaltender in the league this season behind Clegane, but unlike Clegane he was also able to give a good account of himself playing in the All Star Game. Representing Team Der Meister, he saved 14 of the 15 shots he faced, giving him a save percentage of 0.933, the best of the bunch. Who knows whether the superior performance as teammates in this game will give Weinstein a bit of a psychological boost over Clegane in the near future as their teams shape up as potential playoff rivals, but for the time being it could make for an interesting storyline. ATTICUS VON BRAXTON Cologne Express goaltender Atticus Von Braxton has struggled to find form since finding himself shipped off to Germany in a trade earlier this season, but the still young AVB was able to give a good account of himself in the All Star Game, saving 11 of 12 shots faced, good enough for a save percentage of 0.917. Putting up such a strong performance in a game like this and outplaying some of his contemporaries regarded to be stronger by some might just be the confidence boost that AVB needs to reignite his performances and make the Express a dark horse in the S51 post season. SANDRO CLEGANE The backbone of a very competitive Riga Reign team this season, Clegane didn't disgrace himself at the All Star Game, saving 7 shots out of a possible 8 for a save percentage of 0.875. Maybe if he'd had a bigger sample size of more shots to stop he may have really come into his own a bit more, but Clegane was far from the worst of the bunch this time around. JAKAB HOLIK Holik has struggled with consistency so far in his career, and although he looks to be showing some real promise and improvement in S51, his performance at the All Star Game will definitely be one that leaves him disappointed. Allowing 2 goals on only 5 shots faced left him with a save percentage of 0.600, the worst of the night. Hopefully Holik will be able to move on from a tough night and put his best foot forward when it comes to leading the Bears on a postseason charge. DMITRI DADONOV Back with the team to which he was originally drafted in the Quebec City Meute after his departure from Helsinki, the young Dadonov has done a good job so far in his career of performing above the level expected of him. Although far from great at this year's All Star Game, he made 9 saves on the 11 shots faced for a middle of the pack save percentage of 0.818 in his third ASG. S52 is the season Dadonov will look to establish himself as one of the league's elite goalies, so being able to run with the big boys at the ASG should give him a little added confidence as this season plays out.

It's very late on Sunday night and I find myself one TPE away from being able to get my Agility up to 90 so the way I see it there's only one thing for it. Got traded away from Helsinki back to Quebec this week, never actually played a game for them but had a real fun time in the LR that first season and Frank is one hell of a boy so if I had to be moved I'm glad it was to there, also very pleased me and boom stayed together. I wasn't really sure whether or not Higgins would keep the core of Helsinki together but with Gow intending on testing free agency I guess it made more sense for him to ship us out and start anew. I won't go into how my shortcomings were probably to blame for that tough call he had to make (for my own sanity if not for anything else), but yeah it feels strange to be on a new team when a month ago I was still GMing Helsinki, but it's for the best and with Dadonov now starting to enter his prime, I'm excited to see what kind of a go he can have at it this season and next with the Meute.

VHLM being a mess was probably the reason why I went inactive with Killeen (RIP king), might even have made me go inactive second time round if I hadn't got a GM job in it

Damn Daniel

Dadonov +3

There's no way of putting it otherwise, I was out of my depth being a VHL GM. Maybe I could have used another season or two in the minors to learn the ropes a bit more or maybe I should have realised it wasn't long term compatible with my life, but however you look at it I fucked up and let people down. For that I'm truly sorry. To expand on the reasons a little more behind why I stepped down, some issues around a family members health came up last month that shook me quite a bit and coupled with starting my third year at university which meant I was out making the most of the time left here to socialise or having to actually do work, my general sim league activity has now dropped to whenever I've got a spare minute I can check on my phone, which isn't really the necessary level for a GM. I left the team in the shit by not staying on until a replacement was found and for that I must also apologise, I certainly wasn't the right man to lead the team after my disastrous attempt at a rebuild but it wasn't fair to just leave everyone in the lurch like that. So at the risk of being really wet, I'll reiterate once again to the guys on the team (boom, flyersfan, Wasty, Dangles), the people who gave me the job and the league in general, I regret letting you all down in the way that I did, but I'm glad the job was given to someone who knows what he's doing in Higgins who can hopefully right the ship and fix the mess I made.

I told Draper a little while ago that I was going to be stepping down from my role as GM of Helsinki and would carry on the job until a replacement was found. However it's become clear that that won't be possible and I'll be unable to fulfill any of the duties required. I'm really awfully sorry about this, GMing was something I really enjoyed and up until a couple weeks ago was something I intended on doing long term, but the way my life is at the moment and some personal emergencies has meant I've had to cut my sim league activity to a minimum. I'll try and stick around on the forum and enjoy the league as a member, but for now I can't make any promises. Again, my sincere apologies to my team and the league in general for letting you down and being unable to repay the faith shown when hiring me.
