Sure. He had clear line of sight and the puck didn’t hit anything after it came off the stick, if that’s how you define clean
Again, for me it was just trying to see if I could make a fun point about whether Markstrom had been beaten cleanly by a player in the Canadian division (so any Laine shots are irrelevant to that evaluation)
It does certainly fit in to the category of shots where you can understand that the goalie was disadvantaged in his ability to save it due to the circumstances of the shot
I think we can all agree that Markstrom hasn’t let in any goals that he ‘really should have had’
