Did DeBoer just fire himself with the Oettinger fiasco?

[red devil]

He ACTUALLY said that? lol

 

[Duder54]

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***.

hate to see it...

 

[ujju2]

This is insane thinking, and to say it to the media is even worse.

 

[Alexei Yashvalev]

You don't say that unless you know you're fired.

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Nah DeBoer is an elite coach

He didn’t have a good enough blue line to compete with the Oilers speed and forecheck

 

[BHD]

He sounds like the guy who comes into work when he knows he's about to be fired.

 

[hangman005]

Superstar anti clutch goalie
vs
Star Coach in game 7's and pretty damn good every other game.

Quite the choice you have to make

He wins game 7's. but and at least in Vegas is was the strength of the roster that got the results in spite of Pete Debeor.

 

[TheFamousFart]

Big fail there but cant win with goalies like this who turn to swisscheese when it matters

 

[Louie the Blue]

I hope so, I enjoy seeing Debeor get fired. Aside from the fact I wouldn't have hired him to replace Gallant to begin with, I would have fired him for losing to Montreal in the WCF... in the end it worked out for the best as we got Cassidy.

DeBoer deserves a bunch of criticism, including losing to Montreal, but they wouldn’t have gotten that far if he hadn’t out-coached Bednar in which he basically gave up on Game 1 by starting Lehner and letting him get shelled to give Flower rest.

Pete has proved he is a great coach tho, he would get hired in seconds if available.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

We all still love DeBoer. But his players left him out to dry all series.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

No, I think DeBoer gets fired early next season. But wouldn't be surprised if he was fired soon.

Probably gets a job quickly though.

 

[Korpse]

Why does this guy hate goalies?

 

[Harvey Birdman]

DeBoer made his choice and he has to own it. I don’t care what lead to it or what happens after. You made the choice. To pawn off blame and responsibility is cowardly. I wouldn’t listen to anyone that did that if they were in charge of me after if I were in any of those players shoes.

 

[Kamus]

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

Says the guy that cheers for Calgary and is in every Edmonton Thread from the beginning of time….

 

[Rebels57]

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

He didnt force Bourque to take a careless penalty on his first shift.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Otter is requesting a trade to Edmonton literally this weekend

 

[Kamus]

DeBoer is cooked but honestly these stars teams aren't great on paper and have punched above their weight for years so i don't get why some people are ripping them so much.

Seguin Benn and Duchene won't cut it they are old af

That’s crap…..
Dallas was a favorite by many people at the start of the POffs

I always felt we punched under our weight under Debeor... especially with god damn Steve Spott running the powerplay. It was an odd combination of the results being better than they level play of should have allowed but not as good as the roster allowed. I believe our i guess success during the Debeor years was largely in spite of Debeor, not necessarily because of Debeor.

Great coaches win cups

 

[JKG33]

What a shit for brains coach. He's been horrific on goalies everywhere he's been, to the point where I remember someone in the media saying Nill went to Oetter and asked if he'd be ok with the hire.

If I'm Otter now I'm telling Nill its him or me.

Deboer is like the Matthews of coaches. Looks great until the going gets tough, then suddenly its everyone else's fault

 

[hangman005]

Pete has proved he is a great coach tho, he would get hired in seconds if available.

He probably would, another team with a solid roster that'll never hit their ceiling,

 

[Ol' Jase]

He also failed to make any adjustments whatsoever, all series. And embarassed himself whining and crying through all his media availabilities.

He had no answers and looked swamped by about the second period of game two.

Knoblauch ran circles around him.

100% this.

He’s a good coach, but when it counted, he got out coached as much as I’ve seen in a long, long time.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Yeah, he's done. He's the Joe Thornton or Auston Matthews of coaching with his choking

 

[chaser17]

Team needed a spark, woulda looked like a genius if Connor Mcdavid didn't exist.
