People love Lombardi here, but forget why he’s been fired twice.

I guess I look at it this way, and sure its probably a flawed perspective. But if Treliving were to get fired at the end of the year I can look back on his 7 years as GM and ask what he accomplished.
After 8 years I can look back on Lombardi as GM and see he has 2 Stanley Cups.
So if I'm comparing the 2 and a body of work over a similar period of time I'd see one as wearing out his welcome but having a franchise defining amount of success. The other did not.
