Toronto Media's Ongoing Embarrassment Persists
The Toronto Sun stands firm on a controversial headline following the Toronto Maple Leafs' 2-1 overtime win against the Anaheim Ducks.
Lance Hornby's headline, "Auston Matthews saves day in OT after no-name goalie vexes Maple Leafs," received backlash for its perceived elitism, particularly aimed at Ducks' goalie Lukas Dostal, who delivered a stellar performance with 55 saves.
Social media lit up with criticism, prompting even the Anaheim Ducks official account to respond. Despite the uproar, today's Sun headline doesn't back down, further fueling the verbal exchange with the Ducks and irked fans, including those supporting the Leafs. An excerpt attempts to justify the original headline, emphasizing a positive tone and praise from Leafs star Auston Matthews, who scored the game-winner.
The Sun's refusal to backtrack takes center stage in this ongoing controversy, strategically placed at the end of the piece to build anticipation and underscore the publication's unwavering stance on the matter.
