Last night as the Dallas Stars faced elimination against the Edmonton Oilers in game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, we witnessed a truly strange situation in the first 7 minutes of the game. The Stars gave up 2 goals on the first 2 shots faced from the Oilers as Pete DeBoer called time out. However, as the Oettinger and the Stars went back out, DeBoer angrily called back Oettinger and pulled him from the game. Again, in an elimination game. He chose to play DeSmith who hadn’t played in over month over his starting number 1 goalie in Oettinger. Now Oettinger hadn’t played amazingly, but the Stars as a whole hadn’t. Neither of the opening goals were Oettinger’s fault as Corey Perry scored on the powerplay all alone in front and then Janmark minutes later on a break away. It was extremely odd but worse than that, DeBoer completely threw Oettinger under the bus in the post game interview. In my opinion, this is absolutely a fireable offence but we will see what direction the Dallas Stars decide to go. As for the Oilers, they will now meet the Florida Panthers in the Stanley cup final for the 2nd year in a row! I cover it all in todays NHL hockey video.
