He said Markstrom thrives at the types of shots Calgary allows (unscreened shots and breakaways), and would have allowed 50 less goals than Talbot and Rittich did. Apparently Markstrom lead the league in saving those types of shots.
He also said Talbot specifically struggles with what Calgary allows the most of.
Sounds like a really smart way to analyze new goalies, and like this might be a potential home run for the Flames.

Has Markstrom been good with these types of shots for a long time?
Or was it just last season?
If he has a long track record of this, it looks promising.
