I think the only thing that saved his ass was the Hamilton trade. As Bingo said, that home run allows Treliving an opportunity to stand there and take strike three. That's why I say I it's his next at bat that will define him.

Just spitballin here but hasn't the goaltending worked out in the end?
I mean wasn't signing Ramo actually the best course of action after they lost out on the big goalies on the trade market?
The alternative was running with two demonstrably worse goalies in Hiller and Ortio for the whole season. It should be emphasized that much to the chagrin of most delusional fans that Ortio is not a very good goalie right now. And would a Hiller driven net really have delivered the Flames from salvation any more than they are right now?
I'm sick of this talk about the three head goalie monster. When you say that you are saying that you wish the Flames overpaid for Jones or Talbot. Just be honest about it.
Next time you complain about the goaltending saying something like "Treliving really gets a bad mark for not addressing the three-headed goalie monster instead say this "Treliving really should have overpaid for Jones or Talbot."
