Dallas didn’t deserve to win, but Oettinger certainly did. Excellent performance.
My thoughts exactly! It's a bit bittersweet. I hate to see when a goalie performs so unbelievably well in plays unimaginably hard, but doesn't get the W. Then again, I hate to see a team play so hard and not get rewarded. But I do believe the Flames are the better team, though this contest was very close. I tip my hat to the Stars.
So much closer then it ever should've been, otty man was the only reason. Respek.
If I was otter, I would demand a trade, that mofo stood on his head especially on the last sequence before they scored.
A shame the series ended on a groaner, but the flames will take it. Terrific performance by ottinger, 50 plus shots.
@@belligerent-irony reminds me of rookie Demko vs Vegas in the bubble
62 SHOTS ON GOAL?! THE DALLAS GOALTENDER DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO HELP HIS TEAM
Even more incredibly, the shot count was raised to 67! Oettinger is on a whole other level.
we just couldnt help him out.
Not a Dallas fan but he carried this team. Potential goalie of the future.
I was gonnna say he has a name and get use to it he’s a beast
Proving as always, it takes a TEAM to win the Cup. Not rely on just a couple of players. I think the Oilers will find this out in the next round. The "NHL Florida State Playoffs" should be fun to watch because both teams are very well balanced.
Oettinger made this series exciting. He’s unbelievable! Hats off to him!
Conn Smythe of the 1st round BY A LONGSHOT!!
right? how is he not Vezina
im a flames fan. the frustration i felt watching oettenger just ruin the flames has somehow made him one of my all time favourites. if dallas was playing any other team id cheer for them just because of this guy
Respect

@@tysonthornton1126 As a Stars same. I really hope we show up for him next season. Otter is just so good.
Same, he’s my second favourite Goalie now
As a flames fan. Hats off to ottenger. Best playoff goaltending performance I've ever seen. This was a very lopsided game minus ottie. Kids got a bright future.
100%, and specially this game but but honestly throughout the entire series. It felt like you guys could’ve scored at least 2-3 extra goals per game. If it wasn’t for him, I think Calgary would’ve taken care of business in 5

Was walking my dog after the game. A guy pulled over and asked if the flames won. I said yes in overtime he yelled “woohoo” and drove off honking…I’m in Australia.

Great win for the Flames and we all got to witness a future superstar in Oettinger. The kid was fantastic 👏
He is an outstanding goaltender!
He could have done better
Flames crowd make me emotional.........covid had me thinking I wouldn't see the sea of red again. This is more then hockey for me. I'm just so happy.
As a Flames fan Hold on to Oettinger, Dallas. He’s an amazing young man with a bright future ahead of him….he certainly made this series stressful for us
I don't remember the last time I seen a goalie performance like his. Kid was amazing. Only reason Dallas was in any of the games.

Dallas should sign Jake to a 50 year contract, he was a monster and at just 23 he's only going to get better.
Insane angle Gaudreau was able to snipe the winning goal
him and Tkachuk's goals were absolute beauties, and honestly that kind of shot was needed to beat oettinger this series
Yep nice shot, you see Ott realize just a fraction too late that he wasn't postured up and was in a crouch just slightly as he shoots up but just too late.
And that’s the only shot they could make. Otter was so good but a crazy shot by a great player ends the series nicely
hard to beat otter
@@minstrelca also as a goalie you're playing the odds. He's moving when Gaudreau shoots so he's tightening up all the high percentage openings. There's pucks width above his shoulder and from that angle he's giving Gaudreau that shot. 99/100 a player can't hit it especially from there. But Gaudreau did.
Dallas has something special in Ottinger. 60 saves?! This series could've been a slaughter but instead he took his team to game 7 and OT. Unreal
Calgary literally won this series by one overtime goal. In the whole series Calgary got 15 goals and Dallas 14. 🤯
I don’t normally comment on videos but I was at the Red Lot for this game and the energy was insane! Oettinger definitely put on a show 😅 Well played to him 👏 Excited for Flames vs Oilers 🔥
It was a close one all because of otter. GG
this province is going to implode from the flames oilers series haha
It was worth watching this series just to watch the Jake Oettinger Show, wow ! With senses heightened and so sharp he could smell the puck coming his way.
JOHNNY HOCKEY BABY! 🔥🔥🔥 The handshake between Jacob Markstrom and Jake Oettinger was my favourite moment ever in hockey. Otter is the future, greatest goaltending performance I’ve ever seen in the playoffs.
It makes me excited for next year! GG
for one series?
Holy hell Dallas’ goalie was lights out, but congrats to the Flames from a Canucks fan. Excited for the Alberta teams to duke it out next round.
I wish Edmonton and Calgary could play different teams each, so that they Canada had 2 chances instead of 1 to advance to the 3rd round of the playoffs!
Midnight arrives and Johnny Hockey says "okay stop twisting my arm, I'll do the ridiculous sharp angle shot".
Oettinger was A LION out there.. What a goalie.. what a game.. what a series !!! There are many among us who wished for the Battle of Alberta. . But almost everyone will agree that its sad that it had to come at the expense of Jake Oettinger
congratulation Calgary flames you get to move on to the second round. to bad that the battle of Alberta isn't the conference final but may the best Albertian team win.

Нет. Будет получать как и прежде- сорок тыщ рублей в месяц.
Just need some players out in front of him
Never really felt it was fair to say Johnny Hockey never comes up big in the postseason because a lot of his misses are usually on great saves man; it’s always hats off to fantastic tenders he’s up against. But great for my guy!!!
That Dallas goaltending is indicative of the ‘19 series against the Blues, which they also lost in a game 7 overtime. Phenomenal. I did not think Dallas would make a series of it. Hats off.
This has been one of the most entertaining postseasons I've seen.
Even years later, people remember how well Oettinger played here (I'm not even a Dallas or Calgary fan) One of the best goaltender performances I've seen in a playoff game.

I'd have to agree. I've been a fan since 1970 NHL expansion birthed the Canucks. This is the first time I've felt compelled to watch EVERY game of all first round televised series. The only disappointment has been the potential for an 'all Canadian' final disappeared when the Leafs went golfing. Sigh.

Flames dominated wow, Otter almost stole this series
This was the first hockey game i’ve watched ever. Let me just say, wow!! I’ll definitely be watching more. Question: Was this the equivalent to the 2016 NBA Finals game 7?
As a Cleveland resident and Cavaliers fan no. I stayed up all night watching this game because Cleveland doesn’t have a hockey team and I have Dallas. You picked a great first game it was amazing.
Personally as a hockey fan I wouldn’t think so because this is in the 1st round and not deeper in the playoffs one game you can compare to is Ottawa and Pittsburg in game 7 of the eastern conference finals a very dramatic game that I would say best resembles that
Both goalies were unbelievable
I remember taking my dog on a walk on Gm5. Flames were down 0-1, and when I came back, up 2-1. I did it twice tonight. The score was 0-1, and I returned to see 2-2. I left midway through the 3rd period, and I returned to see 3-2 OT.
Please walk your dog every game for good luck purposes!
I can imagine that your dog is going to get some more exercise in the foreseeable future haha
@@inactiveaccount64f that's an old trick... i needed to switch bars to change the luck... i remember just walking into the new bar and watching my boys score.. different sport, different team... but same result...
I pulled out an autographed 89-90 Fleury card and Flames puck out of storage and put it on my desk right before OT.. Looks like that's staying on my desk for a while!!
Oettinger has earned his spot for next year. Nothing more he could've done. Props to him 💪
Gaudreau is big time, people seem to sleep on him but he is an excellent player. Feel bad for Oettinger, heck of a series for him.
Oettiinger had me pulling my hair out, that kid us unreal, playoff presence of a carey price or hasek, seriously!!!!
Ok, so I'm dating myself, but a young Ken Dryden in '71 stoned Orr, Esposito and the high scoring bruins en route to a Conn Smythe trophy and the Stanley Cup. To top it off, Dryden then won Rookie of the year the following season.
And the kid is freakin’ 23 years old. Flames fans everywhere are acknowledging how brilliant he’s been in this series, but dang, we never want to see him again. 😂

My goodness what a gutsy performance from both teams in this series, especially their goaltenders. Man they both played out of their MINDS in this series. Congratulations on the series win Flames!
Incredible 🤩🤩🤩 what a Game,what a series. Finally i cant here the name „Oettinger“ annymore and then Johnny puts it home. Such a well deserved win for the Flames. So many chances and so many shots. Great.
as a FLAMES fan. Oettinger was amazing. 23 years old, 62 saves, 120+ flames shot attempts. Like Markstrom said Oettinger has a BIG FUTURE in the NHL. Great game
The 1st round usually holds a few surprises but Bowness said- "we aren't going to be anyone's stepping stone to the 2nd round". He's a hell of a coach. Props to the Stars for an amazing series. Sutter said Oettinger was the best player in the series, but also that Calgary deserved the win. Go Flames!
So glad the Flames took this one! But oh man, did Oettinger make them work for it! First star of the game for sure! If this guy keeps it up, he's going to be a force in the league for years to come! Kudos to the Flames for keeping the pressure on, and not to disregard Markstrom's performance! It was stellar as well. Good luck against the Oilers!
STL born and raised, and happy to see players from my hometown be successful in the playoffs. Everyone might hate Tkachuk, but he's got hands.
I have never been so scared during an OT respect to oettinger and what a goal by johnny
You put Play-off Oettinger on any team with goal scorers and you’ve made a monster. That man is insane in this series 😮💨
Poor kid...he has at least a decade of headlines..toronto interested in stars goalie.
Calgary had 62 shots and Oettinger only let 3 get passed him. They should keep him on Dallas. Amazing performance, a good sight to behold.
EVERY team I wanted to win in the first round did just that. Excellent!😄👍🏾

The goaltending is this series was over the top amazing
Someone save Jake Oettinger, for christ sakes this guy was a monster all series and to pitch 50+ saves in a game 7 is damn impressive (the Dallas defence though, my god they were as solid as wet bread). Battle of Alberta in Round 2? Yes please I’ll take seconds. (Leafs fan so I’ll take anything right now)
Mike Smith better be ready for the battle of Alberta! He's going to be facing a lot more quality of shots in the next round. My wife don't usually watched hockey, but she knows Jake Oetinger stoning the Flames night in night out for the past 2 weeks. She usually reading a book when I watch the game. But I noticed she's been looking at the screen alot telling me that goalie on the other side is pretty good!
Same goes for Markstrom. Oilers have a much higher caliber offense than Dallas does. Something tells me this series might cause me heart problems

Уважение вратарю Даласа, столько бросков отразить, как мог выручал.
I feel bad for Jake he had a outstanding series
This Flames team is just SO freakin' good, and yet they were almost beaten by an All-World goaltending performance from a previously average goalie. Wow. Reminds me of how Jaroslav Halák managed to get the Montréal Canadiens through two series against two of the very best teams of the modern NHL back in 2010. To take a couple examples: in game 6 of the Habs-Capitals series, he saved 53 of 54, while Varlamov was no Markström, saving 18 of 21; and in game 7, Halák saved 41 of 42, while Varlamov only saved 14 of 16, sealing the Caps' fate. Halák came out of nowhere - he had never really shown that he would be anything other than an average NHL goaltender, and at 25 years of age, on a team with a heir apparent in Carey Price, those playoffs really were a make-it-or-break-it moment. And he made it count for all it was worth, guaranteeing that he would have a long NHL career to prove that his exceptional performance in 2010 wasn't a fluke. On that note, Halák managed to be a great starting goalie for 5 of the following 8 seasons* (he was average or injured for the remaining 3), in which he matched (and once exceeded) his exceptional performance that year in Montréal. But success was short-lived, and he never made it back to the Conference Finals, and faded away as a decent back-up goalie. I don't think Oettinger's heroics were a fluke either. But he has certainly come out of nowhere to impress NHL fans league-wide, and I think he's just getting started (hopefully on an even more impressive journey than Halák took). *Including a memorable 12 games with the Washington Capitals (record: 5-4-3, 2.31 GAA, 0.930 SV% and 1 shutout), the very team he had decimated 4 years earlier (he was a trade deadline acquisition from the Blues, but the Caps finished 3 points out of a playoff spot that year despite his excellent play).
From a Game 7 OT first round loss to the Western Conference Finals, the Stars are shining now
the game wasnt 2-3... it was 28-64 Oettinger deserves to be transferred to a team still in the playoffs... outstanding
Probably one of the best game 7s I've watched!
As a Calgary fan, Oettinger was the MVP out of both teams. Even though my team won, I have nothing but full respect for his performance. I hope that Dallas can continue to see how you’ll develop as a goaltender.
Ottienger made 60 saves!!!! Took a PERFECT SHOT by Gadreau in OT to win this game for CGY. WHAT A SERIES!!!
Watching as a flames fan Oettinger was so frustrating to play against. The amount of times they were looking to the ceiling in disbelief after a damn near perfect shot was insane. I’m happy for the flames and for Oettinger, what a series for him!
Johnny is such an incredible player. BOA is gonna be insane
Как прекрасно победить на домашнем льду... Хороший подарок городу и его жителям, всем болельщикам. Молодцы "огоньки".
Man, it makes me soul leave my body when I see an effort like that from a goaltender get wasted. Oettinger was unreal all series long, and made watching these games a revelation. I'm watching WAY more Dallas games next year.
You may be disappointed if they don't put a better team in front of him.
@@alanmartyn3209 I doubt I'll be rooting for Dallas, honestly. I just wanna watch the goalie play.
the stories of Habs and Price. He's young, bright future ahead. Dallas has built a great franchise and team. Yall won 1 in '99 and had 3 finals appearances, its ok you'll manage. plenty of teams have waited +25yrs to win the cup. Since Buttman tookever not 1 canadian team has won in thier own sport to win their own trophy in a league dominated by Canadians, so imagine how Canadians view the game......it would be like the NFL expanding into Mexico and for +25yrs straight ONLY those Mexican teams win the superbowl. Thats what NHL seems like to us, metaphorically.
@@mtlienz2279 I hear you. But I think the pain is much more local than that. Somehow I doubt that the Oilers winning the cup this year, for example, is gonna make anyone in Toronto feel remotely better. As a Blues fan, I never got any comfort at all from knowing the Chicago Blackhawks were winning cups instead of a Canadian team. Frankly, in my experience, the proximity and rivalry makes it WORSE. The only time the national stuff seems to really make a difference is at the Olympics, and whenever those have happened, the Canadian team seems to do just fine.
@@jake8473 its a Canadian sport and trophy. The game evolved and expanded. From a business pov, do the math +380M population vs 40M population; where would the profits be more lucrative. Its just business, and business is about profits and margins making the most while spending the least. As i said, +25yrs we have not won once since Buttman tookover and since he took over, most expansion teams have had great succe$$ (optics). This is not just a coincidence considering every team is largely Canadian players. Life is a rigged game, sports is no different
Man this performance by Oettinger reminded me of Cam Ward’s magical rookie season run to the Stanley Cup. Oettinger nearly stole the series single handedly.
I loved this game. Series tied, regulation tied and then Johnny Hockey delivers the final blow. Bring on the Oilers - the battle of Alberta is on. Go Flames go!
Now I know why they call him Johnny Hockey 🏒 😆
I live in Calgary and was at this game personally with my dad, and a kid in my grade cheers for the oilers was booed the entire time when he walked into the class.

BRING THE BATTLE OF ALBERTA!!!!!!!
Oettinger OHHH MYYY...What a legendary play-off performance , so powerful !
Wow, the Flames win game 7 and advance to the second round!! This game was so close, and it was nail biting to watch it! I was really afraid the Dallas Stars might end up winning, because Oettinger, their outstanding goaltender, was saving so many shots. And then Gaudreau scores on a difficult, sharp angle shot in overtime to clinch the series!!! Congratulations to the Calgary Flames!!
Battel of Alberta 😍💪🙏
Happy to see the Flames advance. Amazing playoffs so far
I was certain Calgary was losing this one. Oettinger seemed to be unbeatable, and Dallas was getting some really dangerous chances off of some defensive lapses. Glad I was wrong! What a shot by Gaudreau. It had to be perfect to beat Oettinger - and it was!
Amazing game. Stayed up late to watch lol. Brought back memories of the Vancouver Flames Game 7 in 2004.
The silence after the first goal 😄 Rooted for the Flames
Бедняга вратарь ,лучший игрок.
Oettinger made this whole series a lot closer than it really should have been. This game should have been over after two periods.
Обидно за Павелски, этот парень заслуживает Кубка. Вот чего бы его Вашингтону было не подписать, этот мужик Даллас в этом сезоне тащил как никто.
