A huge goaltending battle in the VHLE just took place between the Rome Gladiators and the Vasteras Iron Eagles. Iron Eagles goaltender Xavier Booberry, and Gladiators goalie Luke Spinelli both just put on a showing.

 

This game had a ton of shots. In the 1st Period, Braxton Hunter scored for Vasteras, meanwhile Russell Dixon scored for Rome, having a 1-1 tie in the 1st Period. The Rome Gladiators outshot the Vasteras Iron Eagles 18-9. In the 2nd Period, there were no goals, despite the shots being 18-13 for Rome. In the 3rd Period, Vasteras' Willy Myers scored, then Tyler Steel tied it up at 2-2. Shots were 21-17 in the 3rd Period. In OT, Vasteras outshot Rome 4-1, but this game headed to a shootout, where Xavier Booberry shutout Rome with 3 saves. Hendrix Cobberson gave the Iron Eagles the shootout winner.

 

Look at those shots, 58 to 43 in favour of the Rome Gladiators....who left in defeat.

 

The story of this game was obviously Iron Eagles goaltender Xavier Booberry, who saved 56 of 58 shots, for a whopping 0.966% saves. Talk about a monster performance. That's not to say Luke Spinelli's 41 of 43 saves were not great as well, but unfortunately that 0.953% comes in a loss.
