If you'll recall, a few months ago I was calling for a changing of the guard in the Predators locker room. I wanted Barry Trotz out and I wanted him out immediately. I was wrong and I'm not afraid to admit it.
What he's done with all of these injuries so far this year is nothing short of amazing. Right now, I think he's the runaway winner of the Jack Adams award and it's really not even close. Now, if we go into April healthy and still don't make it out of the first round of the playoffs, then some things may have to be discussed again.
I don't particularly like the way Trotz's gameplan and style is used some of the time, but hey he's obviously doing something right. I think he's getting the best out of the players he has. A lot of that has to do with Suter and Weber stepping up like they have the past few weeks.
So, for now, I will eat my words willingly and submit my full support for Barry Trotz and give him credit where credit is due. Now, don't even get me started about Jeff Fisher.

ReplyDeletekidding aside i am glad that you decided to post this,and thank you for it. That bandwagon got really scary earlier this season. Maybe this post could help others to decided to take a step back from their emotions and observe logically instead.
Like you I have also decided before that a 1 round loss would be unacceptable this season barring horrible circumstances. if that happens i'll see you again in april
Appreciate it buddy
ReplyDeleteTrotz is a great regular season coach...but he refuses to change his team's style of play for the postseason. Assuming this trend continues, and assuming we make it in, we will be One and Done again. Although, I still blame Erat for last year.
