Default Minnesota High School Goalie makes 98 saves in 12-0 loss

Morris/Benson goalie makes astounding 98 saves

Quote:
Morris/Benson senior goaltender Tony Bruns is so accustomed to facing insanely high numbers of shots each game that he brushes aside mass amounts of flying pucks as effortlessly as a northwoods outdoorsman swats mosquitoes.

In his four seasons as a starter for the Storm, Bruns routinely has made 40, 50, 60 and even 70-plus stops in a single game. So he didn’t even entertain the notion he was in the midst of what is believed to be a state- and national-record performance on Saturday in a season-opening 12-0 loss to Litchfield/Dassel-Cokato.

On the bus ride home, Bruns, who had mentioned to Morris/Benson coach Jeremiah Day that he had never been so sore after a game, glanced at the scoresheet and saw his save total.

Ninety-eight.
Quote:
Dalen Jones, a former youth hockey goaltender who referees high school hockey games, was one of the official scorekeepers tallying shots. He counted shots on goal at the Morris/Benson end of the ice in the first and third periods.

“The guy played out of his mind,” Jones said about Bruns. “It was ridiculous. I was getting sore just watching him.”

As for the accuracy of the game’s shot totals, Jones said, “I don’t count it as a shot unless the puck would have gone in the net. There were a lot of rebound saves. It is a legit number.”

0.890 save percentage in a blow out like that is pretty good.

12 goals against? On 110 shots?

I question his coaches' system.

So they had 110 shots on net? That's almost 2 shots per minute.

.891, actually... I mean, it's better than Elliott.

Maybe they should spend less time working on the flying V and the knuckle puck and spend more time learning how to play defense.

I showed this to our goalie last night at practice and told her she wasn't the only one facing a lot of shots (we're averaging 38 shots against per game and have given up over 50 twice).

My son's team averages 45-55 shots a game.


But we generate 15-25.


I think hockey goalie has to be the worst position in sport (although Lacrosse goalie also looks awful).

110 shots is unbelievable between two highschool teams. How bad does that team need to be to allow 2 shots per minute?

I imagine the game looked something like this.

Icing the puck at every chance could cut shots against in half.

Believe me it doesn't. All that does is set the other team up in your zone again when they inevitably win the faceoff.

Yeah, without having to gain the zone.

Goalie is playing extremely well considering the puck doesn't leave his zone (how can it with that many shots against). My sons team will let in 12 goals tomorrow night, with half that many shots against.
