When one team has NO GOALIE, and the other goalie has NO TEAM…



The Ducks vs. Avalanche showcased what happens when one team has a goalie and the other… doesn’t. Despite being massively outshot 49-20, Lukas Dostal stood on his head, keeping the Ducks in a game they had no business being in. His performance was reminiscent of his breakout “no-name” game against the Maple Leafs last season, where he made 55 saves and forced overtime before the Ducks lost. This time, Dostal was just as composed, making highlight-reel saves and nearly stealing the game again. With key plays from Killorn, Zellweger, and Terry, the Ducks clawed their way back to tie it with 12.6 seconds left. Though MacKinnon sealed it for the Avs in OT, the Ducks left with a hard-fought point—and more proof that Dostal is the real deal. This season might be rocky, but they’re finding ways to earn points! #nhl #anaheimducks #coloradoavalanche

  1. I hope we don't get another Gibson situation……….. meaning, having an incredible goalie but being let down by the defence.

  2. The way the Ducks just let MacKinnon go into their zone and score in OT pissed me the F off! It would've been amazing if the Ducks won. Defense has A LOT of work to do and if the Captain is a defender he better be helping them at get better at defending. Soft AF defense! DostWall is the REAL DEAL!!! Get him the help he deserves!

  3. Loved the effort we showed, and the absolute WALL Dostal was in net. I just wish there was a trade we could make that would give us a star kind of offensive player/vet. The team is so young and watching them play it really shows.

    I want to be optimistic but I know we aren’t gonna be “good” this year still. I just want to see legit progress from our young guys, especially Cutter. Terry and Carlson are looking really good so far so that’s promising.

  4. I live in Colorado now so last night was interesting. Tried to make a bet with a friend but she had no confidence in the Avs. And I had no confidence in the Ducks. Even if we somehow were to win that game, it wouldn't have felt like it because we played like absolute trash. Except Dostal, he's amazing.

  5. Considering this was Avs "do or die" game i was afraid it would end up as 4 or 5 goals L. If they beat LA this performance will be forgotten and all we will remember is OT point they got

  6. This is one of those games where the ducks players need to watch the film on what Colorado players do so well and learn from it. 2 of those goals were gifts, only 4 men on the ice and putting too many on the ice. Not sure if that's on the players or coaches. D on the pk this year looks so much better. Pp on the other hand. That needs to be shaken up. Dostwall. Beeker needs to get off his stubbornness and sign him ASAP. Try to sign him to under Gibson, because ullmatk, swayman, and ottenger set the goalie bar high, with Igors blockbuster coming up. Also first line needs to start to produce. Outside of leo occasionally shining (when not on that line) , it's been brutal.

  7. Everyone should be happy. I live in sioux falls south dakota and last night's game was blacked out, on espn espn plus v plus as well, blacked out in my area, please help I want to watch all games live each night

  8. Good start to the season. Let's keep it moving. I will be making noise tomorrow night at Ponda.

  9. I'm going to push back a little bit on the team not playing well so far. I thought they played real well against Vegas and Utah. Hoping this game was the outlier and not the norm. #PoorDostal

  10. So from south dakota. Anyone have a channel I can watch every game from….. been a du KS fan since I was born, anyone got anything

  11. Good review. I just don’t have words to say on this game. I love the Ducks but it’s games like this that make we want to root for another team…you guys are killing me!!!! This is a repeat of last year. I thought we were done with lack luster periods of boring hockey…puck watching and respecting the star players like MacKinnon and hitting anyone that tries to come in to score. How does Minty just let him skate to the net without putting a body on him. We need to be hungry every night or put guys in that aren’t afraid to skate hard, check, grind and shoot. The stats are consistent and not in a good way – faces offs we are 30-40%, power play 0…look familiar? Deja Vu…last year. Why is Ross playing ? Dostal is by far our best and most consistent player. Z was aggressive making plays. and Terry to the rescue!!!! We got lucky. We didn’t deserve a point. We can turn this around but we need to play desperate. The Kings on Sunday…please Ducks 🙏🙏🙏🙏 bring your A+ game. I hope season ticket holders go to the game and not let Kings fans buy tickets. If there are no tickets for sale then there’s no Kings fans to listen to ….ah, the good old days when the Kings sucked and Ducks owned them. Regroup Ducks and come out tomorrow ready to kill the Kings! Let’s Go Ducks.

  12. Pp killing us. Avs pp is deadly ducks did as I expected they would. Timmy made it exciting. Ot was back n forth. Harkens showed hustle. Not upset with that loss.

  13. Ducks have so much talent on this team but the chemistry is just not there yet. Mctavish and Zegras are regressing is seems like but man Leo Karrlson is gonna be an absolute star for this team!
