Was the Flames's shooting percentage so low because they were struggling on their own to finish? Or was it because Oettinger was saving a lot more than he should have been able?
I agree that this series was probably too high a bar for him to meet next season, but I also don't think the Flanes made him look any better than he actually played. He really did put on a generational performance. It reminded me of how JS Giguete played when he won thd Conn Smythe and lost in the Stanley Cup Finals.
