it most definitely wasn’t well thought out lol.
I guess he might have looked like somewhat of a genius had the Stars won the game, but that didn’t happen, so…
he’s a good coach and all but i don’t know if that’s very good leadership and i don’t know if i could trust him after that if i was the GM (or that goalie for that matter). i think i might have at least gone back to oettinger to start the second period. it’s not like pitchers in baseball who can’t go back in after a rain delay or something. you can put a goalie back in after you hope it sparks your team to pull him. i don’t really even want to hear his spiel about the status quo not working. when the status quo is oettinger and you turn to casey desmith in an elimination game you might have outthought yourself a little bit there.
