I waved the white flag yesterday when I commented that I had zero confidence in Markstrom. I wanted to be wrong but the 4th game was the final bullet when Markstrom spotted the Oilers a 1 goal lead in 20 seconds.
Told my wife we'd win "if Markstrom stopped the first 10 shots. "
He did. Then proceeded to allow 3 in 8 shots. Seravelli said it. 14 games vs Oilers and a .864 save percentage. To be sure Toffoli and Dube were not great and its a team game.
Home developed goalies always seem to do better for teams so I put the future on Wolf our own in house drafted goalie. Markstrom can be a place holder for the next year or two.
