I'm pretty sure that's just Trotz keeping the Bolts guessing as much as he can. If you read the OP is says he did not take rushes during practice skate, which usually means he's not playing. We seem to do well without him, so I wouldn't rush him back unless the situation is critical. Eller is doing a great job. Surprisingly, Burt is being responsible both ways too. How long we've waiting to see it all clicking at once.
That we took down the Pens in a critical Game 6 without 19, 43, & 65 is quite impressive.

I am loving your use of reverse psychology on the team.

that's the old capitals. it'll be interesting to see. of course TB are going to play really well, so even if the caps play great they may still lose against some great talent on that team. But To me I see TB as the old capitals team. They are a talent based team which can be easily shut down especialyl with the new capitals type of trap game. One thing this new capitals team taught me is that you are a better team with less talent. Reason being is that your 3rd and 4th lines should not have 1st and 2nd line talent on them. Because a team needs balance to be a good team, not just as much skill as possible.
