‘We’ve underperformed’: Flames’ Treliving on his team’s disappointing season
BOCA RATON, Fla. — Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving says he isn’t going to rush into any decisions with his team’s playoff hopes in tatters.
The Flames suffered a 5-2 road defeat to the lowly Arizona Coyotes on Monday night — their third straight regulation loss — to fall six points back of the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference with just eight games left on the schedule.
Calgary was sitting in a playoff position on Feb. 25, but is just 3-7-1 since over a miserable 11-game run to tumble down the standings.
“It’s been a disappointing stretch,” Treliving said at the NHL GMs meetings in Florida. “We’ve underperformed, no question. But I’m not ready to sit here and give last rites and do a post-mortem.
