I love Otter, but it would be nice to see him absolutely steal a game or two from a team like the Jets, like we see when goalies come into town facing Jake, and the Stars pump 40 shots at them and snag a single goal and Jake gives up 3...

I'm not saying it's all his fault (with the blue line so questionable), but there have been several that it feels like peak Jake would have stopped in previous seasons.

I'd just like to see Dallas put on another masterclass in dismantling a team, but there are also more than 30 goaltenders in the league with more shutouts than Jake, I find it hard to put him in the top 10 tendies in the league...

To paraphrase? Otter has a lot of really bad games, near league highest amount, and otherwise he has more really good games?

Sounds like we win the series 4-3!!! Exciting for fans, bad for hearts :))).

We can let Hellebuyck win the regular season games in March and Otter can win the playoff games in April and beyond.

Think I’ll reserve my thoughts until someone matches/compares Blue lines with their various Netminders……..

At least we can probably all agree that Dallas doesn't have the blue line we, or Jim Nill, wants them to have.

For those who like analytics, Vollman's book "Stat Shot" is very good

Here’s context - he just lost consecutive starts to two teams he has to beat in the playoffs. 0-2. That’s my context buddy.
