Oettinger was an absolute power house.. Even when it looked as though his team had completely gassed, he was pulling moves to keep them in it. What an absolute rock upon which to build a team.

[@shakebooty]

Kind of like how demko did it during the bubble

[@agent00puffball]

As a Flames fan, I'm glad we did it but I have to admit Oettinger is an incredible goaltender. He's the only reason this series wasn't over in 5, but he earned every single win. Dallas should be really glad to have him. He played his heart out and almost stole the series.

Oettinger being an RFA at the end of the Season, teams will be wanting to trade for him after this performance, As Markstrom just said he has a massive future in the NHL

[@hahnyeung2833]

i think stars will re sign him he is a future hall of fame goaltender. i am a stars fan we will keep him

[@danbrooks6780]

I think fans of both teams will remember this series forever as one of the most exciting first round matchups that went the distance and just showcased everything that we love about the sport. Grit, skill, drama, burgeoning stars playing out of their minds and veteran leaders both on and behind the bench pushing them to give their all.

[@brianpeace7585]

I really hope Oettinger can continue this remarkable performance for years to come. What a future he has.

[@SgtPrice1000]

Markstrom's eyes got noticeably wider when he shook Oettinger's hand. Can't read lips but you could obviously tell he was mega-impressed with his counterpart on the other end. Both netminders were insanely good this series.

[@canadianchaos1517]

Oettinger, you will never be the number four goalie ever in your career after that. MVP for both teams. GG Stars.

[@n3LLyyy]

As a flames fan, Oettinger was the real mvp

[@independentmind7782]

100%

[@mikemontgomery2654]

Absolutely. That young man will put on some good shows yet.

[@BWalker9313]

Oettinger deserves a standing ovation. He could've won this series for them no doubt. He was absolutely incredible. Didn't get rattled once. So happy for my flames but that kid deserves all the praise in the world

[@ChadSimplicio]

Couldn't agree more with what the SN broadcasters said about what they believed Markstrom told Oettinger--"Keep going! You were phenomenal this series!" The next "Battle of Alberta" is going to be nuts!

[@mikemontgomery2654]

As a flames fan, I am speaking objectively on this, I agree with that. Caps vs. Panthers was pretty good, too. My thoughts, anyway.

[@snakeeyes9246]

This was the best series defensively and for the goaltenders. The Stars are going to be dangerous next year.

Im a flames fan, but hot damn did the stars make that one hell of a series, especially Oettinger. That last impossible save he made blew my mind. Glad all the Calgary fans were showing him love as he was leaving the ice. He was MVP across both teams and there is no question about it. GG stars! Cant wait to watch the battle of Alberta

[@lucky-bo7kb]

honestly respect to the whole organization of calgary. oettinger gets off the ice and the fans giving him thumbs up is great. i feel for him like crazy i can’t imagine what standing on ur head like that is like. so glad they played a team like calgary who is able to recognize greatness when they see it. awesome

[@marines894]

Been a mega Stars fan since 93. Razor said it best, “some franchises search for decades for a goaltender like Oettinger.” This series was never supposed to go 7 games but that 23 year old kept this team in it until the bitter end. In the end the better team won. Hats off to the Flames for an amazing first round.

[@KeithG1773]

Razor also said "You can ride a hot goaltender a long way in the playoffs but he can't score goals for you." Otter could have used some help at the other end of the rink, particularly from our anemic power play...

[@marines894]

@@KeithG1773 you’re preaching to the choir there lol we have zero depth scoring and I truly mean zero. If the top line doesn’t show up or has an off night then that’s it. You won’t make it far in any league like that let alone the NHL. Goal scoring is their biggest issue by far and has been for several seasons

For the first time since 1991 we have a battle of Alberta. I’m calling flames in 7 but I honestly don’t care if the oilers win simply for McDavid and Drisitle. Those two deserve runs. I just hope we get a hell of a series.

100 with you, this is going to be a crazy series with Calgary and Edmonton ! McDavid is a machine above and beyond what most of the players dream of. But I’d love to see Calgary move on, however I also wonder with all the injuries and beat downs these team have had, Colorado is going to be super hard to get thru, but potentially another massive series for a Alberta team.
