Funny how you picked the ONE stat that is most directly affected by goaltending. The only reason Edmonton was ahead was Talbot vs. Elliott/Johnson. You're right, Treliving has dropped the ball goalie wise. 3 headed goalie problem and not acquiring a concrete starter over the last 2 years. But to blame the D is asinine.

So you're admitting that the cupboards are bare then? When you have to use barely average prospects as examples of your best. Cool.

Didn't say that. He gets credit for the guys he brought in. But his bad decisions aren't minor ones. They've been major ####ups. Also, he was only able to win one cup before having huge self-induced cap problems. A problem he is already running into in Edmonton and he hasn't even had huge team success yet.

Not without a better middle 6 and a much much better defense.
