And in the end you mean ending the season for us before it even had a chance to start? Setting us up for a month of uncertainty and losses crippled our playoff hopes. You don't go into a season hoping that the goaltending will sort itself out in the long run. You do, you're probably going to be tied with the Oilers for last in the division and near the bottom of the league.

I mean wasn't signing Ramo actually the best course of action after they lost out on the big goalies on the trade market?

You could come to that conclusion, if you believed the Flames were in on the two guys. I never believed that to be the case. I was under the impression that Treliving was looking to dump Hiller first, and not focus on bringing in another guy prior to that.

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.

Swing and a miss. Nice attempt to put words in my mouth, but I have never suggested the Flames pursue Jones or Talbot. The opposite actually. I was dead set against pulling an Oiler and bringing in a backup from a much better team whose success was likely built on the team in front of him.

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."

Next time don't dream up things that a poster has never suggestedand try and stay focused on the issue at hand. Trelivings desire for another goaltender is irrelevant on the fact that he created a bad situation by having too many goaltenders heading to camp and was indecisive about addressing the issue after the fact.
