I’m always a fan of good goalies. TBF, Otter held the Stars together against us using nothing but grit and grip tape, considering his D shat the bed the entire playoffs.

Hard not to be a fan of him in some way, at least huge respect to his gameplay. That matchup was incredibly frustrating. We deserved to win that series twice over, and Oettinger singlehandedly made it close. It’s one of those cases where you hate the team, but also feel bad for their goalie because of how well he played.

Nope. Once you sell your soul to the dark lords there is no backsies. We made our bed and must now lay in it.
I for one welcome our new fiery demonic overlords.
That said I do respect him. The dudes a great goaltender. He nearly stole that series from us. Would have been neat to see him take on the oilers. Could he have done the same? Would there be a different cup champ because of that? Would we then have gotten kadri?

It’s hard not to respect him
In the Dallas series he played one of the best series by a goaltender of all time. If they had an average goalie in that series it would probably end in like 5 games. He nearly single-handedly dragged them to one goal away from the second round

This guys gonna go down as the best Goalie in history. Period. If you don’t believe me go watch every second of that series again. I’m not watching it. I have PTSD.

Fuck Dallas cause Jamie Benn exists but Otter is pretty easy to root for

I took him in my pool, does that count?

Stars have had such good goalie luck over the years. Belfour –> Turco –> Lehtonen —> Bishop and now Oettinger
Meanwhile, since Kipper we’ve had: Irving, Macdonald, Berra, Ramo, Ortio, Hiller, Johnson, Elliot, Gillies, Smith, Talbot, Rittich and now Marky/Vladar

[Steve Dangles video from that week is the best compilation of saves he made in Game 7. I honestly think he might be missing a few and this doesn’t even include all of his saves from Games 1-6](https://youtu.be/yBDrRwPdGvU)
Otter’s performance starts at 7:49

I’m already a big fan of his.

I have no reservations about putting a curse on an opposing goalie in order for the Flames to win a playoff series, but I have mad respect for the kid and he is an absolute stud. As a hockey fan I can always respect skill and he’s loaded with it.
CJ_Boiss
That playoff series made me an Oettinger fan for life. Absolutely unreal.
Still gonna curse him if the Flames have to play him in the post-season, though.
Eggs_Bennett
Absolutely god. Can’t see him ever letting in another goal again.

It definitely seems since that series that we turned into the Stars and the Stars are us from last year

I still see this guy in my nightmares
He’s living rent free and I’m here for it.
