All the talk about goaltending being the difference is not correct imo. Both goalies have been tremendous. It’s like if Markstrom makes a big save, well, that’s what he’s here to do, but if Otteinger equals that then.. that’s the reason Flames are tied in the series. There’s been 12 goals each side, both teams playing sound defensive hockey under, above average goaltending. The stats concur, and the series is tied. If I could hand pick a goalie to bring to the Oilers, Markstrom would be in my top 3.
