That's fair but Treliving also can't go back in time and fire him in December.
Your first post didn't really state that at all. It made it seem like you wanted him fired right now.
In terms of saying something nice about him that is just the "Kiss of Death" / Common Courtesy that always seems to happen in the hockey world.
These guys work closely together, he choose to hire him, and they communicate on a daily basis. I wouldn't be surprised if Tre believes he is a good coach, that also doesn't mean he thinks it's the right coach or that he's not getting fired.
Honestly it just felt like there were a lot of over-reactions to what was a pretty cookie-cutter response to a "fire the coach" question at this point of the season.
If we are at the draft and Treliving is still making those statements and GG still has a job then we should all be worried but at this point it's pretty business as usual to make those comments.
