The Dallas Stars are still dealing with the aftermath of their crushing Western Conference finals loss to the Edmonton Oilers, which was capped off with a 6-3 loss in Game 5 on Thursday. One of the consequences that will be most felt from the series involves Jake Oettinger and head coach Peter DeBoer.
Oettinger let up three goals in the opening nine minutes of the first period and DeBoer pulled him off the ice to insert his backup (who did not fare much better). After the game DeBoer threw his goalie under the bus and listed his many failures against the Oilers in the postseason recently. None of what he said was wrong, but it was still shocking to see a head coach pick apart his goalie immediately after getting eliminated from the postseason.
