A Croc (still worn on the feet) likely provides more protection.

Flames rolling offensively. That said there are still critical parts of the game where Markstrom is making some very good and sometimes very sneaky good saves...where you wouldn't fault him if they went in, but they don't. And instead of a 1 goal lead, the Flames maintains 2 goal lead and changes the dynamics where the other team still has to push and keep themselves a bit more exposed at the back, while the Flames can counter.

The games the Flames lose, they seem not to get that great save or that sneaky shot goes against in as opposed to hitting a leg or stick at that critical point, and the game changes. But overall the Flames aren't doing it by smoke and mirrors, and Sutter won't let them rest on this like the team did under Peters in the WC winning season in the second half.
