It seems as if B. Trotz will be the Predators coach until he decides he wants to spend more time with his family. However, I believe he should know better than to expect a consistently high level of achievement and discipline from #22 and others. Adding one of the suspended players last night could have provided that little extra effort, that missing spark in the same way #22 provided it in Game 3.

Colin Wilson is another example; discarded as a malcontent and now he's being considered for the #1 line? Too little too late? We shall see.

IMO Pushing buttons and eliciting the best from individuals has not been Trotzy's strong suit. Team yes, individual, no.

Witness Ovechkin in Washington...fewer minutes higher production...ballsy coach.

So all Trotz needs to do is call the psychic network to see which of the players are destined to have a good game before deciding on the lineup? That's brilliant...not sure why Poile didn't think of that...surely that would have made him a lock for GM of the year.

No. He needs to more in tune with his own players himself. Successful coaches usually play hunches that work out. Nice try Polly.

What do you mean "if"???
