The Toronto Maple Leafs were finally able to break through Anaheim Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal, who turned in a superhuman performance last night at Honda Center with a career-high 55 saves before sniper Auston Matthews finally scored in overtime to give the visiting Leafs a 2-1 victory.
For the 22-year-old rookie goaltender, it was one of the best performances from a goaltender that you'll see this season, and Matthews made sure to give a tip of the hat afterward.
“It was a little bit (shocking),” Matthews said of Dostal after the game. “You try and think ‘next one’s going in, next one’s going in,’ but he played a hell of a game and you have to tip your hat to him.”
However, the Ducks were rightfully miffed after Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun referred to Dostal as a "no-name" goalie in his headline of the postgame recap:
“Auston Matthews saves day in OT after no-name goalie vexes Maple Leafs."
Immediately after the headline was posted, replies expressing surprise at the disrespect began coming in from several Leafs fans:
And before long, it would be the Ducks themselves who issued an appropriate response to the surprising headline that disrespected Dostal:
“His name is Lukas Dostal," wrote the administrator in charge of the Ducks' X account. "He had 55 saves last night. He was NHL Rookie of the Month in October."
