Treliving: Flames' coaches, top players 'aren't going anywhere'
Amid a six-game losing streak, Brad Treliving wants to silence any speculation about potential changes within the Calgary Flames organization.
"The coaches aren't going anywhere. Our top players aren't going anywhere," the Flames general manager told reporters, including Postmedia's Wes Gilbertson, on Friday.
Treliving pointed the finger of blame squarely at himself.
"It starts with the manager. The manager has been horseshit," the GM said.
The Flames held a players-only meeting after Thursday's 5-0 loss to the St. Louis Blues, and captain Mark Giordano said it brought out "a lot of honesty." Head coach Bill Peters also preached accountability after the loss, commending his players for talking it out.
Calgary has sputtered to a 10-12-3 record after finishing atop the Western Conference in 2018-19.
