Even using the RBS stat you like he has none.
You're answer didn't do a great job of convincing me you like the player. I mean what goalie do you like when he's not on?

Let me put it like this:
I'm happy with Markstrom's start.
But I think it's ridiculous to think he's been the best goalie in the league. Others have been better so far.
I think Markstrom has earned his 6M salary so far after 9 starts. That's the ninth highest paid goalie, and he's been at least good enough to earn his salary. He hasn't been a "steal" especially since everyone is conveniently forgetting all of last season.
I think Markstrom is good enough.
I don't think there are many playoff series we'd go into where I'd say "Markstrom will be the difference in this series".
Yet somehow a certain poster keeps throwing a tantrum out of me comparing Markstrom to a Chris Osgood.
As if Osgood didn't win multiple Stanley Cups as a starter.
