doing his best would have been getting bishop, for example. even bishop thought he was going to Calgary.
you hope things don't get pinned on Treliving. some should be pinned on him. this is the goaltending tandem he chose, and he went out and signed Brouwer. who else should that be pinned on?
I wouldn't fire the guy though. plusses outweigh the minuses.
maybe he wants to leave to take over the family business, as his dad isn't getting any younger. who knows.

Except Brian Elliott was one of the best goalies in the League last season, and also did rise up to the challenge and played lights out during the stretch. I don't get how you pin him suddenly crapping the bed in the playoffs on Treliving. The goalie issue was solved admirably last summer. It didn't quite pan out, but there's no guarantee Bishop would have done so either.
Brouwer I agree with. That was not Trelivings finest hour.
