Shocking Twist: Stars Part Ways with DeBoer After Promising 3 Seasons – What’s Next for the Team?
During Dallas’ final availability, Oettinger said being removed from the game was “embarrassing,” but said he chose to use the experience to help him grow as a goalie, both mentally and physically.
“Any time you get pulled, doesn’t matter if it’s the playoffs or the regular season, you just want to go right off the ice and crawl into your bed and not talk to anyone,” he said.
“I wasn’t expecting that to happen. It was surprising. But the reality is, if I make one or two of those saves, I’d still [be playing] in the game. The way I’m looking at it is, ‘How can I get better from that? How can I make those saves that I made all playoffs? How do I make them at the start of that game and give the guys a chance to get their feet under them?’ As a goalie, that’s your job.”
