well fair or not Jake Oettinger will definitely be looked at differently by Dallas fans after the way this playoffs has went.. A bunch of questions about his capacity to be the guy where before there were none.

He's had a brutal playoffs with several games getting pulled. not what anyone expected.

It would be nice to not place the entire season on Jake Oettinger's shoulders next year. I know Wedgewood got hurt but Jake just seems like a dude who played himself out of sorts at the worst possible time.

didn't really seem like anyone was interested on playing any defense in front of him tonight but if the stars want to dish him I'm sure they'll find a dozen takers

It just is what it is with modern day goaltenders.. you hope they are good more often than they are bad unless you have one of the elite of the elite.

Oettinger has mostly been good in his career, but in my estimation this talk of him being the future of the position in the NHL and the clearly the best goaltender in the playoffs was always misguided.

At the same time, it's a fair point (as some are raising on twitter) that this season is by far the most hockey that Oettinger has ever had to play in his career, and the stretch of time where he played basically every game for 6 or 7 weeks while Wedgewood was injured seems to correspond directly with a big drop off in his play..

It just sucks to see a guy who had a pretty infallible reputation in the fanbase coming in to the playoffs end up having a playoffs like this.

I'm just repeating to myself that the Stars were not widely predicted to make the playoffs this year outside of a couple of stats nerd models, and even those had them as a borderline wildcard team.. There's no reason the good vibes can't return next season and going forward, I firmly believe this team's best seasons are ahead of them.

I mean alot depends on how the Stars manage their team going forward, but they have some good young assets locked up for term and they have alot of bad money contracts expiring in the next couple seasons.. there is real potential to build on the elements of the team that are good.

How Peter DeBoer factors into this or screws it all up remains to be seen i guess.

**To be clear, back in the summer of 2022 I was pulling for the team to basically punt on the season, hire a rookie coach and intentionally tank until this bad money left the roster at which point they would rise like a Phoenix from the ashes of the Jamie Benn / Ryan Suter / Esa Lindell / Radek Faksa / Jani Hakanpaa contracts. I was pissed when they hired DeBoer because I viewed it as doubling down on a defective roster that would never do better than sneaking into the playoffs in the wildcard spot, and probably undeservingly at the expense of better teams. The fact they had as good a season as they did with as much dead weight on the roster as they have was a shock to everyone I think, and largely to the credit of DeBoer.
