I agree that the 2nd goal was a very good shot, but Hiller's reaction to it is not what I expect from an NHL goaltender. He didn't put himself in a position to make a save.
I feel like Treliving is the adult version of Brian Burke. Says nearly the exact same thing as Burke, but does so in a calm and composed manner without letting emotions get in the way.

Could be Sigalet who needs to go if all the goalies look bad.
It's probably tough to coach 3 goalies on the full roster though.
Hiller is only part of the problem tonight. Both goals came from EDIT: really bad D coverage and poor decision making. Anyone placing the sole blame on Hiller is missing the bigger picture and problem.
Hiller's definitely not helping but this team stinks and blaming everything on Hiller is just masking the root problems of this team which is sloppy defense and turnovers. This team simply doesn't play solid fundamental hockey.
Hiller is only part of the problem tonight. Both goals came from the other end in a real hurry. Anyone placing the sole blame on Hiller is missing the bigger picture and problem.
Fair enough.
It just seems like every good scoring chance shot on goal goes in plus a few softies.
I like to think I'm pretty level-headed about these goalies. I've defended all three of them at different low points this year. I've ever said that a lot of Hiller's bad games in October were not his fault.
Hiller needs to have that second goal.
The second one is one you'd like your goalie to have to be a difference maker, I'll give you that, but that's not a bad goal, he just didn't bail a very bad play in front of him out.
RE The team's play:
"disappointed in our season today, when you look at the standings"
"taking a long-term outlook"
"trying to build around our young stars, [...] continue along the path that we've set" RE Hudler/FAs:
"we don't comment on any discussions we may or may not have with players"
"he's been a tremendous pro, big part of our success"
"brought a lot to our team on and off the ice"
"been a great player for us" RE Distractions/Wideman/Ramo Injury/Stars Scratched:
"well, none of these things are unique to our team"
"the Dennis situation is unique"
"suspensions do happen"
"the length of time for this to be resolved is somewhat unique"
"situation with the young guys was resolved"
"you go through adversity"
"I believe in the character of this group"

Treliving's message is getting stale for me. It's verbatim the very first interview he gave day 1 he got hired. Parse in some current events from here and there but he's definitey a stone wall in terms of not giving an inch.
Also sick of the hand sitting. as much work as he does (I will not suspect otherwise, pretty well known league wide and in the media) there is so much hand sitting. I get being loyal to the roster you built but this is getting ridiculous. There's dead weight and you're not providing any solutions. Let's get rolling on the player movement already.
