It baffles me that this narrative has any life.
Treliving supposedly 'failed' with the goaltending, yet somehow his teams have made the playoffs 2 out of 3 seasons while rebuilding.
He inherited a rebuilding team with zero good, quality NHL starting goalies and a pipeline with only a 19 year old college guy in it who had/has any chance of being decent down the road.
Yet as mentioned, they've made the playoffs 2/3 years and hosted 8 (IIRC?) home playoff games in that time. Seems so odd to twist that into some sort of 'failure' on his part.
