I mean Smith was laughed out of the dome in game one for letting in 3 goals on 10 shots so let's not get too hypocritical here. I don't think Markstrom has anywhere to hide in this series as he's not been good enough. He's not the only player that's not been good enough but he plays the one position that when you are not good it hurts the team more than any other.

This is true but as someone who hates the penguins and watches all their playoff series M A Fleury is a prime example of how from year to year things can change
Back to back finals vs Detroit elite playoff goalie
2011 to 2015 couldn’t stop a beach ball
Back to back cups and with Vegas elite playoff goalie
I don’t think we should run Markstrom out of town for 1 bad series either. Especially when our d is running around coughing pucks up and our forwards can’t get pucks over the blue line.
If we were dominating and losing because of markstrom fine but the team had been very sloppy too
Look at Fleury vs the flyers a few years before their cups. Might have been the worst goaltending I’ve ever seen
