I’m not drawing conclusions based on 2 games either, I expect improvement

But I am fine to raise concerns based on 1 year and 2 games

It’d be great if Markstrom came out of the gates 2-0 with over .950 in that small sample like both Smith and Talbot. They will regress to the mean though
That is not true. The Canucks bled scoring chances and Markstrom bailed them out. You suggesting that Kostkinen and Talbot were equally as good is just not true for that season.

I agree his play as a Flame has been a let down largely because he hasn’t been any better than Rittich, Talbot, Smith etc even though he got the term and money stating he is a tier above. It is fair to question the ROI so far as it hasn’t lived up to expectations yet.
