Did DeBoer just fire himself with the Oettinger fiasco?

[Cloned]

Pulls a goalie with a 0% save percentage, goalie storms off the bench, DeBoer screams for him to come back and sit his ass down.

Meanwhile, the goalie he puts in lets in two (maybe 3) goals that Oettinger might have stopped.

What a clusterf***.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Hes to blame for failing to get his team ready to start the game. Worst star ever that I've ever seen.

 

[oXo Cube]

It was a crazy choice. He gave up 2 goals on 2 breakaways and he gets pulled after being the guy that got them there?

Deboer making decisions like a man who is already aware he is going to be unemployed in the morning.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Getting owned against the back to back WCF champs when nobody else in the West would compete with either isn’t that bad.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

He should be fired for sending Cody Ceci out on the penalty kill as his first option every time.

 

[North Cole]

DeBoer sucks. Sixth Conference final loss in a row, with three different Orgs. Players gotta go out and play the game, but you can't tell me his coaching sets them up for success.

Every time he gets near the end of the Dance he gets outcoached. No adjustments, whining to the media every game, called a timeout and looked mostly limp trying to pump his team up. He's the common denominator for teams choking, Vegas fired him and then beat him the next year on the way to their Cup...lmao

Maybe he should go coach the Canes, seems like their conference finals futility is equally matched.

This. DeBoer has been overplaying Cody CC in the first 3 rounds and it costed them in Game 4 and 5 with back breaking goals against. Letting Perry walk in uncontested both times.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

VGK moved on from him, which was a great choice obviously. He had great rosters at SJ and failed to get the job done. Has had great rosters in DAL and again has failed. His decision on goalies tonight was so bad on multiple levels. He looks fine with rosters any coach could win with but when the rubber meets the road he is a clown. Dallas would be wise to part ways with him.

 

[FloridaPanthersFan84]

Stars have to fire DeBoer anyway so no matter with that did Oettinger got pulled or not.

 

[jkrdevil]

Probably not immediately. But he probably enters next year in the hot seat if Dallas gets off to a slow start.

 

[WSS11]

Couldn’t stand him or Spott. Dude wasted a couple of the best rosters SJ ever had.

 

[tabness]

Can't blame the coach for the goalie being a sieve

Made the SCF with NJ in 2012. Won three series while being lower seed. Lost in 6 to a wagon LA team. Maybe do a reverse sweep sans the Bernier incident.

SJ--2016. Made the SCF. Nobody really predicted them to beat Pittsburgh. The fact it went 6 was shocking.

 

[LightningStorm]

That decision was terrible, but Dallas lost this series (for the 2nd year in a row) because they inexplicably cannot score on Skinner. 2 goals in all of games 2-4 is downright pathetic.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

But did he get into the handshake line?

Ceci played entirely too many minutes for Dallas. They werent as deep as everyone claimed them to be. Deboer made some really poor choices, but at the end of the day the players didn't show up, at all, and for the 3rd straight game they only had 4 shots on net in the 3rd period. No one is winning games with those stats.

 

[Oilslick941611]

I agree with his reasoning here. I said as much and Dallas did get a small boost after the change.

 

[thaman8765678]

The Stars are just a loser team. I don't really blame the coach. Most of them are just born losers.

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

Oettinger stinks but Pete is also a shitty coach.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Fire Deboer, hire Tortorella. And John will teach this Dallas team how to hit in the playoffs.

 

[BeranekAndNeck]

DeBore is one of the most arrogant coaches in the game. Zero accountability, blamed the previous losses this series on the refs, then had a temper tantrum after the first 2 SOG. Stars fans will be happy when he’s gone, mark my words.

 

[Rafafouille]

He can be fired for a bunch of reasons, making the correct goalie change isn't one of them. Oat could've not been an .85X% against the Oilers, then that pull would've never happened. Been a long time coming for him.

 

[wonton15]

I don’t blame it all on Jake… but I blame Jake

 

[Blitzkrug]

I don't know if Dallas does it, but they probably should.

From a psychological standpoint, i kinda get what DeBoer was going for. If the boys don't want to play in front of Oettinger, you yank him to try to send a message to them that if you're not going to show up in front of him, then he's not going to be there to bail you out.

The problem is the context; Oettinger got hung out to dry badly on both goals. Perry on the doorstep for the first one with no one within three feet of him. 2nd one Dallas gets absolutely torched in transition leaving Janmark free and clear to bury one.

You could see it after the second one, Oettinger was pissed just from his body language. Straight up looked like a "where the f*** are my teammates?" vibe. You pull him when he's already pissed which isn't going to make things better. And then because he was going to the locker room to obviously simmer down, you pull that stunt where you rip into him, making an already awkward situation far worse. All it does is send a message that "this is your fault and you're going to own it."

Just let him go to the room to cool the f*** off, you idiot. Completely unprofessional and shows a complete lack of situational awareness.

This isn't even taking account it's the 6th straight conference final DeBoer has lost as a coach too.
