The goalie covers less than 1005 of the net. If the shooter puts it somewhere the goalie ain't its's a goal.
You hating on Markstrom changes none of the math.

His arm is supposed to be against his body, it's the butterfly and you do it to cover as much of the net as you can. What you are saying is there is zero skill in playing a breakaway. Just stand there and hope. doesn't matter where your limbs are as they cover some portion of the net.
That could have been saved, and given Markstrom's poor season it's not unreasonable to point out his issues.
