BlackIce:
The coach told us all we needed to know about the playoff goaltender tonight when he named Grubauer the starter. Grubauer hadn't played the past few because of a tweak and Holtby had done generally OK in his absence. With a back-to-back, it would have been easy and defensible to start Holtby tonight and ease Grubauer back in tomorrow. That Trotz brought him back specifically in Pittsburgh in a division-clinching game after being out spoke VOLUMES.
As for meeting the Pens in the 2nd round, don't count any chickens yet. We may meet them in the first round, or we may not see them at all. The Pens are in 2nd right now and have the tiebreaker, but all 3 teams below them have a game in hand. Before the Pens play their next game, all 3 have games against non-playoff teams. The points standings of the Pens/BJ's/Philly/NJ could very easily be 96/96/96/95 going into the last two games for each team -- and then the Pens have to go into Columbus. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that the Pens finish 5th in the Division and get moved over to the Atlantic for the playoffs, where they can deal with Boston/Tampa/Toronto.
Maacoshark:
I have a question. Why was it a bad decision to not dress Gersich? It was the right decision and now that we have clinched the division I'm sure Trotz will get him in the lineup.
