So be it. I commented elsewhere that starting Grubauer gives Trotz an easier out -- if the Caps get in trouble or Grubauer looks shaky, it's an easy and natural decision to revert to your franchise goaltender. If you start with the franchise goaltender it's harder to yank him because of the "dance with who brung ya" syndrome.

I suspect it's Grubs til he loses, Trotz throws that qualifier in so he doesn't hurt anyone's feelings

I’m guessing this is just as much from Dickless & BetaMale as Trorz.
Nothing like a “goalie controversy” to spice up the playoffs! Particularly when the orginization has a near-criminal neglect for all things defense, and “blames the goalie” every playoff. Just bench an elite elite goalie and all the attention will be on that!
Besides, Trotz’s probably has vacation plans booked in a week anyway. He all ready did his job “just get to the playoffs”
