Thanks, Bern! With four lopsided scores in the four games, the goalies took centre stage today, with Dominik eponymously dominating the first half at .944 and Bron going .948 in the second half. The end result is the second-highest overall session save percentage of all time (.886) and Bron edging Dom .887 to .884 despite Dom’s shutout; Bron breaking the 100-save barrier in just four games. This resulted in a surprisingly low scoring total for a 3-on-3, no-sub session with only Ryno getting to the 3.00 mark (6G-6A). Ryan edged out Darrel by an assist for first. Tying for third in their second-ever sessions are Ian and Jessy at 9P each, marking their first-ever three-star placements and career-best session totals.

Season Stats: With Stefan and Oliver absent, Ryno closes the season scoring lead gap; he sits 21 points behind Stefan for first and 14 behind Oliver for second at 93 points... Darrel passes Kyle for fourth, 76-69... Bernie ties Nick for seventh at 56... Ryan passes Oliver for second in goals and trails Stefan 54-49; Darrel sits sixth at 36, one behind Nick... Ryan and Darrel move into third and fourth in assists at 44 and 40 with Bernie not far behind at 36... Ryan takes the shot count lead from Stefan, 272-249; Darrel sits third at 210... Bron passes Brodie for second in goaltending, .843-.836; Dom sits fifth at .822... Dom passes Stuart for first in saves, 556-513, while Bron passes Sam for fourth with 371... Bernie opens up a little bit of a lead in games played at 56 compared to Oliver and Stefan at 51; Bernie hasn’t missed a game yet this year... Ryan now sits fifth in games with 40; Darrel is sixth at 36... Dom ties Stuart for the lead in games goaltended at 36... With six shutouts this year, Dom has as many as everyone else combined... Ryan sits third in three-star points with 45, five behind Kyle and K.J.; he also leads VRH... Dom ties Brodie for the leads in goalie star and total star points with 70... Ian jumps to second in shots-per-game at 7.70, pushing Ryan down to fourth... Bron takes the lead in saves-per-game from Brodie and sits at 20.61... Bron’s .887 and Dom’s .884 are the top two sessions of the year... Bron’s PPS of 999 is the best of the season; Dom’s 975 is third.

SDF/GDF: The rankings won’t be finalised until Tuesday’s Arena session, but so far we have little movement on the SDF and lots on the GDF... Oliver’s absence from the VRH session temporarily drops him three spots to 14th while Ian rockets from 42nd to 20th... There will be at least 56 players on the SDF this week, a new all-time record... Bron blasts his way back to the top of the GDF after handing it over to Brodie for two rankings, and it will certainly be a challenge for Brodie to stay first no matter how well he plays Tuesday... Dom passes Stuart to move to fourth.
