Daniel 565 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 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.
