My point was that Markstrom was so good last year he took a #### team and carried them into the playoffs.
Flames then sign him, a playoff team from last year without Markstrom, he was supposed to be an upgrade on our goaltending, and then he had a very poor year and the Flames missed the playoffs. If he plays this season as goos as he did last season and the Flames make the playoffs.
Basically I was making a joke about how every thing the Flames touch seems to turn into crap, especially this laughably horrible season.

Ya, it was a team effort of suck. But on the goaltending front, as a comparable, Koskinen had a .920 or better in 11 out of 26 games (42 percent). Markstrom had a .920 in 16 out of 41 games (39 percent) and Mike Smith had a .920 or better in 18 out of 32 games (56 percent). We got the equivalent of Koskinen this year unfortunately. If we get the equivalent of Mike Smith and Markstrom has 7 more games where he is .920 or better, we probably win 4 or 5 of those additional games and it is a different story.
