Look, 5 games is a small sample size. Shelve your conclusions because the year is just starting.
Markstrom was great tonight. I love a good goaltending performance. That paddle save was dynamite. He was square to some really good shots and made the little positional adjustments on some huge saves. He was really feeling it, tracking the puck well, and I love watching it. Super composed
Even had a late cross slot save, to which he was quite square
That stood out as a rarity. The Flames have given up very few of those. Also pretty good at cleaning up rebounds I pointed out long ago the stats of goalies under Sutter. Tons of credit to him for understanding how to put goalies in a position to succeed.
No bones about it, Markstrom had a pretty much perfect game. Awesome to see.
