I was like you earlier, Alta, when it started looking like the locker room may turn on Trotz. It's been talked about in the media, that the turning point seems to have been that Colorado loss in November. Trotz had been a little too calm, and non-chalant, IMHO, in his post game comments prior to that game. It was reported that he FINALLY got "quite angry" with the team, after that Colorado loss, especially with the player leadership! Obviously, something has changed! Of course, I don't think any long term fan is taking ANYTHING for granted, and most of us are probably hoping that the caps get to the playoffs, but stay far away from the Presidents trophy! LOL

My biggest complaint of Trotz has been his lack of emotion, especially when the zebras blow a call

He certainly has come off too flat earlier. His 1st year here I thought he was much more energetic

The Klub Kettler effect maybe?

Hey Maaco! On my iPhone, the buttons are smaller, and was trying to tap on a thread you had started. Instead, it brought me to your profile somehow and saw your "Carlson lover" title thingy! Gotta give ya some props and acknowledge the good TOUCHE' !!! LOL 👍

To be fair, we've performed much better this year - so far - than I expected. Over-performing is somewhat preferable to under-performing, which is what we've done so far in the post season. I'm still not holding my breath, but.....

The start of this season has been the most difficult for the core vets here, maybe they will learnt something from it

LOL! That's as good of a theory as any other, Lily!
On a more serious note, I see the "KK effect", show itself in almost all the games, at least a bit! But I'm hoping that it's a sign of it getting more diluted, as we've got more lesser known and younger players, starting to step up to the plate! It will most likely be here, in some form, for years to come, though trading Carlson, I feel, will diminish it somewhat! I thought Mojo had contributed to that culture, as well!
