G Lukas Dostal - Anaheim Ducks, NHL (2018, 85th, ANA)

[slumpy43]

Another atrocious outing to start to his North American career with 29 saves on 30 shots.

From the Gulls website:

He’s just chill in the net,” head coach Kevin Dineen explained. “He makes some things look easy. They only had one power play but there were a couple tough scrambles as the game was winding down. That’s what I really liked, in those key areas where they were really pushing to try to scrape something together there, he had a really high compete level and had to work really hard to get on top of the puck. Very solid effort...

He might be Ducks version of Cal Petersen. He was peppered all night. He didn't let any bad goals against the Condors (Condors Rodrigue let 2+ bad goals against the Gulls over the 2 games - which is par for the course since the Oilers can't draft and develop goalies)

 

[Kalv]

Some of the general media have been overlooking him since the draft.
Now Zegras and Drysdale (to some extent also Perreault) debuts have been taking the spotlight but man, if you want to see a some potential star goalies, take at least a couple of minutes to look at Dostal's resume so far.
North American ice have not been an issue so far. That being said, I hope the Gulls trim the SA down

I'm still gonna claim that at some point of this season, Dostal will be the starter for the Ducks.

Will be interesting how they handle him. This season AHL, next backup to Gibby. But Gibby is signed quite some time.

Yeah I think next year he can start to split some time with Gibby. Should be very interesting to see how both compete it out if all keeps going well.

This season? Nope.

He says as he hides in the bushes outside Gibson's home.

What lol

He continues to disappoint.
His size is really holding him back in the AHL the same way it was holding him back in Liiga.

Dostal has played 12 games in 2020-2021 between Liiga and the AHL and has lost only one game between the two leagues and have an above .094 save percentage.

What part of that is "disappointing"?

It's a running joke on the Ducks board. He has never gotten much recognition as a top goalie prospect, even though he's dominated ever since we drafted him. So anytime he plays, it's never good enough.

Oh i see.

 

[Gliff]

Oh i see.

IDK what he is talking about. All I know is Dostal doesn't meet the height requirements for half the rides at Disneyland. Doesn't sound like an NHL goalie to me.

 

[All Mighty]

3 games played for Dostal and 3 wins.
1.67 GAA
.956 SV%

 

[bsu]

He was incredible tonight

 

[lwvs84]

I really thought it was going to take a couple weeks for him to adjust to playing at this level, it might take a couple of weeks for this level to adjust to him.

 

[SmokeyDuck]

Dostal was a beast tonight. Must be huge as a team to feel you got a rock to back you.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Dostal is the main reason the Byfield, Madden, and Turcotte threads don't get bumped tonight, dude was out of his skull...but maybe not because that's apparently a regular thing.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Well...his superb performance shouldn't come as a surprise, prior to his 1st AHL season
in 2 seasons + 11 games this season, in the Sm-Liiga

1.76 gaa | .930 sv% | 46 wins - 17 losses

 

[SmokeyDuck]

His skill was never in question, moreso if it would translate to NA ice.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Yeah, if there's a surprise in there, it's just that it all translated seemingly without blinking. I know it's only a few games but you'd never know he traveled across the world.

Sarcasm?

 

[Goodman68]

Sarcasm?

Of course.

 

[Kalv]

Sarcasm?

Other team fans need to catch up with this, but it's a running joke on our board that he is undersized (not 6'3).
He has been a beast for 3 years straight just check his eliteprospects page, but the ''prospect journalists'' have been overlooking him always. So we ''found the problem''.
