Trotz is a D-Bag, so I'm not sure I understand the question...

What makes him a D-bag? Is this just your perception of him on screen, or do you actually have a personal interaction with him that makes you think that?

i have no horse in this race but wouldn't mind seeing trotz win the cup. same for ov, backstrom and holtby. on the other side i'd be happy for mcphee and gallant.....

Good stuff about Trotz. Quality writing. Thought I was reading The Athletic. Then I saw the comments and realized where I was.

Not a nice guy. He is clueless. The REAL Coach on that staff that is making it happen is Todd Reirden. Giving Barry credit is ABSOLUTELY wrong. People like Pierre McGuire and you guving Trotz credit for other Coaches game plans is so uninformed.

And what are your credentials that make you so informed about him?

I carry no credentials. Nor do I need to. I know. How I know is my business.

That said, DO NOT believe me and that is fine. You owe me nothing, as I owe you nothing.

So all season and up until game 3 of round 1, it was Todd that should've been fired and not Barry?

Nope, it was the reverse.

Can't have it BOTH ways.

Sure you can when your input is only taken when you are called upon to save the series, or in these cases multiple series.

So if I am to follow

Trotz is to blame for the bad times and Reirden gets the praise for the good times?

I wished I lived in your world where all I state must be accepted as fact. No explanation or examples given. I could even get indignant if I was questioned.

By no means. I’m just sharing here.

Your statement is dumb and unwarranted. Please delete your account.

How you know is your business? So you Alex Jones if HB? Full of poop and vitriol.

No you don’t. There the sandwiches be dry and the womenfolk chaste.

Lol, that’s funny. Sorry don’t mean to share info. Won’t make that mistake again.

Have a great day.

I hate the tactics of blatant grubby actions that Trotz employs. Therefore I don't like what I know of the man.

So from my point of view, (frank) Barry Trotz!

Just to be clear for those that question why I don't like the individual.

(frank) the Caps & go Vegas.

No you don’t. There the sandwiches be dry and the womenfolk chaste.

How do you know? Have you been there?

Sad that a bunch of pens trolls dump on trotz. Be happy your team won a few cups and go away.

Still never answered my question...
