If goaltending ruins us in the playoffs the team needs to take a serious look at the GM.

God, I hope not. It most often takes YEARS to build a championship team without falling ass backwards into a generational talent like Sydney Crosby at the draft. Treliving has but an excellent team that is still really young, and locked up most of it's key players to phenomenally good contracts. If the only hole on this team is goaltending after five years I can't see how anyone doesn't think that is excellent work.
Brad Treliving might be the best General Manager this team has employed since Cliff Fletcher. It is beyond foolish to hope for his dismissal at this point.
