Wow, the more I watch that play from Weber the more I hope he has to take a commercial flight back to DC to pick up his things. And the angrier I feel towards Trotz. Did he really believe that Weber was incapable of the same type of gift Schmidt gave the Pens? You want a clutz playing behind the blue line against a fast team? No other defender on this roster makes that play.
Trotz has been absolutely humiliated. Not just because of his decision making (or often lack thereof), but because of what is a very apparent inability to bring out the best in his team. Defenders making mental mistakes and a discombobulated, limited, unimaginative attack with poor spacing, poor positioning, and generally poor fundamentals.
Pittsburgh's speed has ZERO to do with our offensive woes because, if anything, we had less success against Philly. Hell we've had trouble against almost every team we faced the past 2 months.
