‘It sucks, it’s embarrassing’

  1. Kinda weird why PDB threw him under the bus. All he should’ve said was “we needed a spark and that’s what I thought was the best decision at the time.” Or something like that.

  2. If I was him, the level of hatred I would have for DeBoer after all this would be off the charts.

  3. I definitely didnt agree with the decision to pull him. If you were trying to “send a message” you needed to do it the last game. Those goals weren’t really his fault.

  4. I felt so bad for him as he deserved way better. I honestly thought he was coming back out in the 2nd.

    Fire PDB.

  5. The discipline it took for him not to look over at Ray was way more than I would’ve been able to muster.

  6. He’s the last one who should be embarrassed. I hate what he did to my 🦦

  7. Pete DeBeor is 1-7 as a coach in the last 8 games against EDM in the WCF. Pretty, pretty, pretty big sample size.

  8. Oetter didn’t deserve that call by pdb and to be benched and blamed for the team’s mistakes. We ❤️ you Oetter!

  9. PDB made zero adjustments the entire series and just watched his team do the same thing every game and get beat every game. He finally makes an adjustment and it’s to pull your starter after two goals. That’s fine and all, sometimes or creates the spark that’s needed. But obviously those goals were not on Ott, he was left hang to dry by his team twice. Easy for PDB to simply say it wasn’t on Ott but he’s too, I dunno, stubborn to say it?

  10. To have a goalie with this level of poise after going through adversity like he has is pretty impressive. I think it says a lot about Otter. I personally think he’s a stud goalie, plenty of teams would love to have him as their number 1

  11. When devils fans wanted DeBoer fired, Jagr said he was a great coach and wouldn’t be unemployed too long and that’s why he gets another job. He is a good coach but maybe his bedside manner with players wears thin, IDK

  12. Dudes gonna win cups. I’m sure his agent was making calls about 2 minutes after he walked back there. Terrible decision. Absolutely horrible decision. Bush league coaching for a game that mattered. The stars are an amazing team and will be in the hunt for awhile. Ride the horse that got you there.

  13. I fully expected a Patrick Roy confrontation with PDB after calling him back and heading down the tunnel.

    Can’t imagine they’ll both be there next year….and my money is on Otter staying.

  14. Damn. You can really feel the sadness. Poor Otter. Sorry your coach is a dipshit.

  15. Otter is a good dude and quality goaltender! He was done dirty by his coach.

  16. Otter got them this far. No shame. Aves, Bredmonton, and the panties are all stronger teams.

  17. Anyone think he’ll request a trade after this shit? I don’t fully understand the different contact definitions so someone let me know if he can’t be traded due to contract.

  18. Hurts to be a Dallas homer right now. First Luka, now this. I’m team Otter. Man has a lot of good years left.

  19. I’m an Oilers fan but I thought the first two goals were understandable in their context, even if it’s 2/2 for SOG I think it would’ve served Oettinger and the Stars best to let him at least finish the rest of the period and get past those 2.

    Thank you Pete De Boer for making such a monumental fuck up 😆

  20. Otter was not the resin they lost.

    Skinner was not the reason the Oilers won.

    DeBoer needs to be better than to throw his players under the bus even if it’s true.

  21. Otter wasn’t good enough this series to help his team win… He got outplayed by Skinner FFS lol

  22. “How did it feel when in the presser with your coach, in order to cover his own ass, actually had prepared stats about your performance in playoff games?”

  23. The only solicitor I take from this goalie pulling incident is knowing the majority of the knowledgeable hockey world sees deboer as an idiot and feels bad of ottenger and knows he was used as a scapegoat…. 12 shots total in the last 3 3rd periods but he blames his star goalie lollllllllll

  24. Ray Ferraro has always just been overly harsh too, that’s just the perfect storm of shittiness. Stupid DoBoer pulls you, then you gotta listen to stupid Ray Ferraro yapping about you relentlessly, without the due respect Otter deserves.. that sucks.

  25. I’d like thank PDB for getting Jim Hiller off the hook for dump coaching decision. I think Hiller will learn, while this is just standard PDB behavior.

  26. Pathetic thing for the coach to say publicly, especially when it’s more on him and the team than the goalie.

  27. We’d take a Gustavson / Otter tandem in Minnesota please.

    Bring the boy home!

  28. Tough one for otter, feel for him for sure. That said i dont think deboer made a bad call pulling him either, the 18 guys in front of him left him out to dry the last 3 games prior and 7 of 8 games vs edmonton over all the last 2 conference finals
