Again, it’s an average number, with a story to explain
I would prefer to see above average results, to saying (average + a story) = above average
That year that Markstrom was ‘elite’, Talbot had .919 here for 13th in the league, and Markstrom had .918 for 14th. Koskinen put up .917. Was Talbot’s year elite? How about Koskinen?

Talbot played 26 games not a starters workload, not even close.
Why was Markstrom 4th in Vezina voting that year and Kostkinen and Talbot no where near the conversation? The Canucks gave up way more chances. I remember someone coming on the FAN after Markstrom was signed and used some formula to suggest had Markstrom had the same season he did that year with the Flames they would of had 8 more points which was enough to lead the division.
We have not seen that Markstrom very much since he came here but I am not drawing conclusions based on 2 games.
