Makar Grigoryan

This flamboyant Russian shot-stopper defies gravity with acrobatic leaps, though his tendency to wander far from his line remains a chaotic liability. Before kickoff, he insists on braiding his shoelaces into a tiny, intricate knot while singing opera, a bizarre ritual that leaves his teammates both amused and baffled. Despite his jittery rhythm, his cat-like reflexes and dominant aerial command make him an immovable force once the whistle blows.
