I guess I'm OK with Grubauer starting but I still prefer Holtby. Hope this decision doesn't hurt us.

Grub earned it. Holtby wasn't a stealer in playoff even when he was in the top of his shape in the regular seasons.

Couldn't you see where it would be reasonable to express the same hope and uncertainty, though, if the choice had been Holtby, given his shakiness of the past 2 + months?
I read an interesting article this morning that said that Trotz HAD to choose Grubauer or he "would have lost the room." Now none of us knows what is going on with the team, but I found that claim rather interesting. Is it reasonable to think that the team would be adamant that Grubauer would be the only logical choice? Is preference that fleeting? It IS true that Grubauer has been as good as or better than any other goalie in the league for the past 4 months, but Holtby has been The Man for the past several years. I'd like to think that the team would have been OK with either choice. But I can't know -- maybe the feeling is that they haven't gotten it done with Holtby, so they want to try to catch lightning in a bottle with the current hot hand.

Oh, I wouldn't doubt it if the team wants Grubauer to start.. They certainly don't want to dissect the reasons Holtby "looked shaky", cause then they'd have to look in the mirror and realize their team defense was a direct reflection of it. Much easier to DEMAND they start Gruby!! :wackysmile: Hey Koolaid!! :poop:
Anyway, they better hope Gruby is all that, because I wouldn't be surprised at all to read about Holtby asking to be traded after the season ends...
