I will say again that I expect a step change in the stats of both goalies

Not sure anyone is going to catch Fleury this season (WTF??) or Vasilevsky (.943 and .936 SV%, 1.57 and 1.79 GAA respectively), but I imagine that Markstrom is probably going to have numbers in that ballpark from here on out, and will probably have a Vezina-quality season (though again, tough to catch those two goalies unless they suddenly face-plant).
I have no idea how anyone could have an issue with either goalie, as my constant gripe this season has been how if it weren't for them making outstanding save after outstanding save, this team would be giving Ottawa a run for its' lottery money.
Markstrom has been 'as advertised' if not better here so far, and I think he has been worn out a bit.
Rittich - after a very short runway - has been everything you hope for in a bona fide starter.
I think under Sutter, their numbers are only going to get better, and how they are managed will improve as well.
