Not fair, Mick. Look at Gruby's performance last year. Look at the year before. He's been the better goalie for the team for the last 4 months of this year. Sooner or later you have to look at the progression and say there might be more there than a blind squirrel rooting up an acorn. This isn't just "a couple of games since January."
KitFisto:
I don't think anyone thinks Grubby is better than Holtby, but he's certainly been playing better. They both play behind the same lousy defense and frankly Holy was flat out awful for a while. I go with the hot hand in the first few games see how it goes. Either way there will be those screaming "I told you so" when it's all said and done.
Caps are done in 1 or 2 rounds no matter who starts anyway.
Mickstix:
Anything Gruby did before he was "the starter" is not really valid, imo, since he always played the lesser opponents. I'm grateful he's looked good lately, but I'm not looking forward to the results when the team goes back to turning the puck over constantly and giving up multiple odd man rush' per game..

I agree they are not going to the conference finals. This is all the more reason to move Holtby and shore up the defense. Who else on the team is going to command the types of players we need and be someone we want to part with? I feel that trading Grubauer would be a big mistake. Holtby may return to his previous form and he may not but that's the chance you take. Nothing comes without some risk but you have to take risks in order to get better. It's no different than changing coaches or GM's. The end goal is the same.
