Sure that is what everyone says but this was the same 3 goalies who got the Flames into the playoffs and into the 2nd round the previous year. How is it Treliving fault that all 3 forgot how to goaltend? No one thought goaltending was an issue at the beginning of the season. None of the "experts" thought that nor should they have after last year.
When outsiders say the goaltending was a problem, they aren't necessarily saying it was Trelivings fault. They are saying the 3 goalies failed. People just love to re-assign blame.
