So if we're going to fire the coach, then he should be right along side because it was Treliving that failed to address the biggest problem the team had this year - goaltending.

You appear to be assuming Hartley was fired solely due to poor goaltending. It has been heavily discussed and alluded to by media that Hartley didn't have the respect of the players. Is that Treliving's fault?
I recall a discussion with Treliving on FAN960 about Hartley as a coach, and he hinted that he was planning on bringing in his own coach after 2014-15 when Hartley's contract expired, but with the way the team performed he felt that Hartley earned another shot. He obviously felt that this year Hartley did a 180 in meeting the GMs expectations.
