Unless there is a franchise-wide purge of our goaltender coaches, the Flames are doomed to continue to have among the worst save percentages in the league.

It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the quality of team playing in front of the goalies? Blaming a goaltending coach for the team's woes amounts to scolding a baby for not using manners at the table. Treliving hasn't given this team one elite level goalie to work with during his entire tenure. You get what you give and we've been given aging fodder and second rate talent since day one.
