Whether it's someone just on a heater or not, it's been 3 months of .600 hockey. It didn't just start two weeks ago.

Fair, I suppose I'm not giving him enough credit.
It's just unusual for a young goalie to not face some hurdles in his first couple seasons.
His consistency since the bubble seems too good to be true just from the historical perspective of young goalies entering the league.
Marky had a bumpy road early on. Didn't seem to settle into that solid starter form until that third season or so.
Demko's progress seems rather expedited. Wouldn't be surprised to see a drop off for half a season next year.
