LOVERRO: A vindicated Barry Trotz has reasons to smile

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Barry Trotz was so giddy after his team’s 3-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights Saturday night that the Washington Capitals coach couldn’t tell his left from his right.

When the moderator in the post-game press conference would point out the locations of the reporters asking questions, the coach who has his team up 2-1 in the Stanley Cup Final had a hard time following along.

“To my other left, OK,” he said at one point, later adding, “There is a light right in my face.”

More of a glow, actually, Barry — the glow of relief, the glow of satisfaction.
