He had a lot of energy and adrenaline, but it wasn't a sustainable style of play.
Most of his highlights are like "oh my god, I can't believe he made that save", when they should have been "oh my god, why did he have to make that save". He also loved to do the whole round-the-world wave with his glove after every glove save giving it extra flair.

This is why I think some people underrate Markstrom. He tracks very well, and he is in position before a normally dangerous shot becomes dangerous. That combined with his size is formidable.
