Seven Dallas Stars players competed in the Winter Olympics in Italy, and six of them brought home medals. That highlights the deep talent on the Stars roster for years ahead. Jake Oettinger stands out as part of Team USA's gold medal win, even though he never saw a single minute on the ice. Fans were pretty upset that Oettinger got zero playing time for the Americans.
How did Jake Oettinger contribute to Team USA's Olympic success?
Still, he's back in Texas feeling great and 100% healthy. Unlike some others, like Roddick Foxa, he's ready to jump right back into action. The Stars organization is thrilled with the whole group's performance. General Manager Jim Neal, a three-time winner of his award, played it smart by holding off on any trades until after the games. Now with the Olympics in the rearview, Oettinger could start this weekend against the Nashville Predators. That should help him shake off any rust before the March 6th matchup with the Colorado Avalanche. Expect a huge crowd ovation for Oettinger at home, gold medal or not.
Team USA's victory over what many called Canada's dream team makes it extra special. Time for him to lead the stars toward a Stanley Cup run this season. A quick thank you to our sponsor of today's episode. Headphones in a pillow. Simple idea. Surprisingly addictive. S-O-L-I.
