Because Oettinger has been so good this year right?Dallas hands down
I don't understand why so many picking are the Avalanche for the Cup with that goaltending

Colorado still scares me.
As deep as Dallas is - and they've got arguably the deepest forward group in the league - they don't have anyone close to MacKinnon's level.
That said, Dallas doesn't have anyone on McDavid's level either but they still made the Oilers look like a bunch of peewee scrubs the other night.
If the Stars and Avs meet in the playoffs, Jake Oettinger will need to be at the top of his game, and Dallas needs to be firing on all cylinders to contain Colorado's top guns. They've done it before, recently, and they may very well do it again. But it won't be easy.
Yeah but he seems to have found his game recentlyBecause Oettinger has been so good this year right?
Not even...Because have you seen the rest of their team? Probably the best d corps in the league + a very good forward core with MacK, Rantanen, Nuke, Mittelstadt and Lehkonen.

Well considering Georgie is currently in the biggest mental funk I've ever seen, I'm going Dallas even if I think were better elsewhere.
Stars have no weakness, while Avs have a clear weakness.
They are one of for sure but I would argue, Boston, Carolina, Vegas and NYR are betterMakar, Toews, Girard, Walker, Jack Johnson and Manson? Yeah, they definitely do have a case. Probably might be a tad aggressive, but they absolutely have a case of being the best d corps in the league.

Avs if the goaltending holds, that´s a big if though
Still doesn't change the fact that Georgiev is a below .900 goaltender on one of the top contenders. He has been pretty damn bad most of the season. Doubt many have much confidence in the guy.Can't hang every goal last night on Georgiev, that's for sure. Avs didn't do him many favours. Midway through the 3rd I wasn't convinced Dallas would hang on, but I'm glad they pulled it off.
If these two meet again in the playoffs it could honestly go either way.

No doubt both teams would have taken the President´s trophy with solid goaltending.So's Oettinger though.....only in the past few weeks during this run the Stars have been on, has Otter looked even remotely like a top-level goalie. Before that he was sitting at sub-.900 on the season. Even let in the first goal last night, on the first shot he faced, so there's still a few kinks to work out it would seem.
That said, both Dallas and Colorado have managed to put together some very strong seasons, even WITH some shaky goaltending. Imagine either team with a Vezina contender in net, and the President's Trophy would've been decided already.

I do trust Oettinger way more than Gergiev though. Georgiev had a really nice season last year, but this entire season has been a disaster. The Avs board has started to call the guy 4giev, because it seems way too often no matter how easy a game is he will find a way to give up at least 4.
Didn’t think he was that good last night except Fourgiev was worse.Oettinger is finally getting healthy and it shows.
