Wherever pdb ends up next, oettinger will ensure to give that team fits as long as he is the coach.
Unlike Bednar. Who runs his top line and top D all season like a game 7 and that line runs out of gas 4 games into the 1st roundDeBoer is like an all-star coach until he gets to the conference finals.
I do think he's had some aging and slower rosters to work with along the way which doesn't help, but to me it's glaring how they always seem to just run out of gas. Coach included.
im of the opinon a coach has little impact on the game overall, they just funnel all the players towards a common goal in a common way and provide one on one counsel.This whole "ready to play" mantra is nonsense. It's the player's responsibility to eat right, get proper rest, be mentally focused and DO THEIR JOB
Maurice said it. The player's run the bench, call out changes, etc. He just looks at matchups and as you aptly stated strategy
Once a player is past the collegiate level, the let's play hard, win one for the gipper and all those other happy horseshit thoughts are the stuff of movies
The coach doesn't skate, shoot or miss pucks that go into the net.
And a lot of the one on one stuff comes from the assistants.im of the opinon a coach has little impact on the game overall, they just funnel all the players towards a common goal in a common way and provide one on one counsel.
AFAIC all the rest is on the players.
You love to see it
Was it dumb sure, but man dallas stars players are so soft man
That just means he’s familiar with what it looks likeComing from a fan of a team with Elias Pettersson on it is funny
Were also soft!Coming from a fan of a team with Elias Pettersson on it is funny

After the Oilers win the Cup this will be the new HNIC intro like Don Cherry bowing was for Coaches Corner lolDeBoer & Hiller both 100% should have been fired the apprentice style at the first opportunity
I think DeBoer was too transparent in the post-game. It was mean and bad form to call out his goalie like that.
That being said Oettinger was outplayed by Skinner in the series, and wasn't giving his team a chance to win in Game 5. DeBoer mentioned 1st and foremost he was sending a message. Oettinger also got outplayed by Ersson in his 1 4 Nations game.
I find it interesting to compare fanbases & "hockey universe" when the Stars w/ Oettinger lose and he's outplayed compared to a Canadian team, esp. Edmonton w/ Skinner lose a series or even have a couple bad goals or bad games. Both 26yo (young-emerging) goalies with >100 NHL wins
- After 2 games of Round 1 it was like "has Skinner played his last game as an Oiler?"
vs.- After losing WCF it's like "is DeBoer toast?"
I'm with PBD
Oettinger called McDavid the greatest player of all time, which is kinda odd considering Gretzky. It seems like he respects the Oilers too much and gives up.
Dallas had the edge in xG at 5v5 (like 13.1 to 10.9 iirc)Yup. Not Otters fault. The top Dallas players got crushed by the Oilers. Did even one Dallas player have a decent series?
I watched every minute of every game. Dallas got crushed popped. The loss wasn’t on Otter. Their top minute guys got dominated.Dallas had the edge in xG at 5v5 (like 13.1 to 10.9 iirc)
The issue was Dallas shot <5% (or Skinner was 95%+) while Edm shot 12.5% at 5v5 (or Otter was 87.5%)
On and off the ice.Was it dumb sure, but man dallas stars players are so soft man
Who they cheer for has nothing to do with their ability/ right to speak on other teams or the league in general.Coming from a fan of a team with Elias Pettersson on it is funny
