Last season our goaltending was outstanding over the first 10 games, giving the team confidence and time to sort out their warts. Then the goalies came back down to earth and the team was gelling.
This season the goaltending has been atrocious and a distraction, sucking the confidence out of the team and leading to the worst start in franchise history.
I get what you're saying about the situation showing team fragility that would've happened anyway, but we really don't know that. If last season the Flames goaltending was this bad to start out, you could have made that same argument that "well if they are this fragile, they would have fallen apart anyways".
Signing Ramo was certainly a mistake and a major factor as to why the Flames are 1-5. That is on Treliving and he is taking accountability for it.
