Wasn't that only a game 1 & 2 announcement though?  Not a "rotation" implied for games 3 & 4, which are entirely different animals (gm 3 is nearly always the regular season warm-up and gm 4 is the "don't play anyone you can't afford to get hurt/final roster spots" game.  

I think they talked about rotation for practice and game 1 & 2, but not beyond that. They were hoping/expecting to have it settled by this week.
