Please update the thread title to "Lukáš Dostál"

I thought "No Name" was the more apt thread title.

Instead of DosWall, his nickname should be Lukas Godstal

GoalStall

Went with the hyphenated last name and made it plural.

Lukas "Goals-Stalled". Though, not to be confused with his long, lost cousin into the future Prince Lone Starr. I bet both have Liquid Schwartz around.

Dostal in net reminds me of Guy Herbert's story about the team back in the early days:

They'd say, "Shut them out Guy. We'll try to get one for you ..."

 

[AngelDuck]

Gibson being out is indeed addition by subtraction. He’s just not needed here, and Dostal should definitely get 65% of the starts.

It’ll be really interesting to see what Verbeek does when Gibson gets back

 

[190Octane]

My fav backup is Gerber. Then Stolarz is a very close second.

Bryz? Come on now, not even close.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Bryz? Come on now, not even close.

Bryz is my favorite back up, he started most of the first round games against the Wild in 07 and put up great numbers. Then following year Burke waives him instead of trading him and the Coyotes claim him and he has several great seasons over there as a starter before Philly over pays him as a UFA.

I like Bryz personality. He was a straight shooter who honestly, very intelligent and his "why you Heff to be mad it's only game" became a famous meme that even got added into popular video game 'Overwatch' as one of it's russian characters uses his line and the company behind it had Ducks fans working there as Blizzard is located in Irvine. Bryz never retired in Russia which was interesting, he's stayed in the USA this whole time since he last played and his son is an American goalie prospect, went undrafted I think.

 

[Quack Shot]

Currently leads the league in Save % at .943 and has faced the most shots in the league.

I want to see Gibson come back from injury long enough to get a goalie fight, put up a couple good games and get traded. Nothing against Gibby for me, but Dostal is just showing hes 100% ready for primetime. Send Gibson to a contender and let him finish off his career playing meaningful hockey somewhere where he doesnt have to save the team night after night.

This obviously won't last, the numbers Dostal is putting up are insane. He's giving the team a chance every night. He's riding a wave of confidence from that summer gold. If he can be above .910 at the end of the season with starting more than half the games, that should be considered an elite season behind this team.

.943 is absurdly high, but I think we a potentially elite top-5 goalie on our hands here. We are due for a superstar level player, maybe it's Dostie

Pronman snubbing Dostal all those years in his prospect lists because he thinks 6'2 Dostal is too too small but I bet he was really high on little guy Saros listed as 5'10 and I suspect could be closer to 5'9.

If the offense starts clicking and the team can play consistent defense, he's going to put up big numbers. I just hope he doesn't wear down too much before the team turns it around.

I, too, am scared he's going to get Gibson'd.

I dunno if it was Pronman who snubbed Dostal because he was small. What I do recall is Wheeler saying Dostal is too small a netminder, but simultaneously ranked 6'0 Dustin Wolf as a top goalie prospect since he was drafted in 2019. I think last year was when Wheeler started to come around on Dostal. Wheeler's bias was completely showing for Wolf b/c he did a deep dive on Wolf for the 2019 draft, iirc. Wheeler should have been pumping up both short kings.

He’s tooo young!!!!!

He won’t be able to sustain this play!!!!

We have to turn to someone that has shown they can’t sustain either!

Gibson loyalty runs deep, similar to Fowler delusion. He’s been a bad/mid goalie for the past 4 years.

Keep Gibson around until he hits 1000 games played

These thoughts are misguided. I don't think many are opposed with Dostal getting more starts because we had a 1a/1b situation developed last year. The point is to have two NHL netminders on the roster. This is, "Do you want Reimer or Gibson at this moment?"

Anaheim did a great job developing Dostal in San Diego for three years while also increasing his NHL play year by year. Last year, Dostal had an amazing start in October and earned rookie for the month of October with a 0.921 Sv%. November happened and he crashed hard with a 0.823 Sv%. His last Nov outing was rock bottom with a 0.625 Sv%. Dostal played only four games in Nov and didn't see action until Dec 7th. From Nov to Dec 6th, Gibby played 13 games, had a Sv% of 0.907, and a record of 4-8-0. Dostal found his groove again in December.

This year, Suchanek is on IR all season, Clang did not look ready, and Buteyets was always slated to develop in the ECHL. Veteran Dansk was signed to be in San Diego. Clang and Dansk aren't doing great in San Diego so far this season. Verbeek snagged Riemer off the waivers to where we had one good game and one not-so-good game. Dostal has played 7 games and Reimer 2 games so far this season. Probably expecting Dostal to play again tomorrow night.

I don't think any of us want Dostal to get burnt out, but he might if the games played ratio is 8:2. We are hiding Reimer instead of balancing the workload of both netminders.

The similar idea applies with Fowler and our youthful D. We are using the NHL level as our development path for our blueliners. Cronin is currently implementing a 3-youth d-man rotation between LaCombe, Zellweger, and Luneau... 4 if you include Vaak.

We're in year 3 of the reset rebuild. Gibson and Fowler's days are numbered. I don't understand this manufactured outrage.
