No longer do we hear the melodic chant of "Otter's Better"
Did DeBoer just fire himself with the Oettinger fiasco?

I agree a little but I really think a 100% Heisk makes a difference. I have no idea what happeend to Harley or Lindell though. Both are guys that I would do backflips for if I heard we acquired them. Heisk was clearly still hurt. Kind of like how Ekholm is amazing but played the fewest minutes last night. But, to me, Heisk was meant to be the best Dman in that series. No secret my fav Oil is Bouch so it's pretty high praise from a 'Oiler homer'.lol

At this point, Skinner has all the bragging rights. He outplayed him last year and then he outplayed him this year and Ek only played 15 minutes in 5 games.
NO ONE predicted that. Definitely not me. I was preying for Pickard.lol
I haven’t taken a math class in a bunch of years so forgive me if my recollection is fuzzy, but I am of the opinion that .850% > .000%.

Me too brother. I'm a big Pick fan. Good Stu has to show up. Gonna be a great series
Reading through the thread I'm surprised that so many people think DeBoer really is out of rope in Dallas or ought to be fired.
I think he has more rope than much of the roster. I'd feel more confident going into the playoffs with DeBoer as the coach than I would looking at a roster that has several players with questionable compete levels and/or age related limitations. I'm talking about Duchene, Seguin, Robertson, Benn, Marchment, basically a large part of the forward roster that gets outworked. A lot of these guys just seem to be out there to have some fun. Then the back half of the D group is very underskilled. People here are blaming DeBoer for playing Ceci so much but it wouldn't be better if he gave those minutes to Petrovic/Lyubushkin, or to an unready Bichsel or overmatched Lindell.

I thought DeBoer made the right decision. A goalie has to be ready to play in that situation. We shouldn't even be talking about this right now
Its just he went about it in the worst way imaginable. Reminded me of Mike Keenan:

Compete is a verb.
Don't know why but it's always irked me to hear compete used as a noun. Maybe it's an age thing. Lol
Robertson had 5 points in 5 games. 4 goals.
He was a constant threat.
The problem was the Stars lack of Breakout.
Biron had another good point today. Said he was playing for Philly in the playoffs, had a stinker of a game down 6-1 to Pittsburgh, a team he struggled with. John Stevens sent Richards over to see if Biron wanted to stay in or not.
That is how you treat your starter, and Stevens was no genius coach

Switching a goalie after going 0-3 is a standard practice.
Lindell was worse than CC in the final game. And Rantanen thought his task was done after eliminating Colorado.
Robertson was the only player who showed up.

“Well we’re down 2-0. Should we change tactics, personnel?”
“Nah just put in the shittier goalie”

Boston fan here, Boston adds Toronto's '26 1st for Oettinger and a 3rd, as Oettinger is better.
He stinks? Coached to 2 SCF and 2 Memorial Cup Titles and never lost a G7 in the NHL.
Yeah he stinks. You know what really reeks? Your comment I'm replying to.
Too big of an age difference and Ullmark is injury prone and is mediocre in PO.
The deal is Swayman for Oettinger with a Boston add.
Spare me the moronic Swayman sucks lie. Put Oettinger in B's net in '24-25 and he gives you a bit better than Swayman's numbers.
You seriously going to argue if the teams switched goalies the series is more competitive? Oilers would have swept the Stars.

Pete DeBoer: "Jake Oettinger has lost 6 of 7 against Edmonton."
Rest of the world: "Pete DeBoer has lost 6 of 7 against Edmonton."

And who is responsible for the Dallas Stars performance in games? And did that person single out one player in a 20-man lineup?
