The vast majority of CPrs wanted Markstrom in every time he was in. And the schedule favoured it.
We are down to criticizing Ward for how he announces injuries and on assumptions about a player with a history of injuries getting hurt.

I'm not criticizing Ward for how he announced the injury. I don't care how it's announced.
It doesn't makes much sense to suggest that the schedule favored Markstrom playing nearly every game either. The Flames were facing down playing 19 games between Jan 24th and February 27th. They had a bit of a break after game 3, but since game 4 it has been a really intense schedule. They have averaged less than a full day off between games since Jan 24th.
There was plenty of talk before Markstrom got injured that he was being overused.
