Markstrom is neither the problem nor has he been the solution yet. Flames forwards being unable to get sustained zone presence over the past 5 periods has put too much pressure on a d-core that looks painfully average without Tanev. I am really hoping that next game (outside of scoring goals) that the Flames get back to pucks in deep amd sustained zone presence. I felt that the oilers dmen were looking over their shoulder in game one. Since then they have not had to spend nearly enough time under pressure in their zone.
