He is great in the regular season and not sure where the Flames would be without him. But you can not win in the playoffs when your best player is not willing to lay it all on the line.

How do you explain Noah Hanifin giving that puck away?
That goal is on Hanifin, and quite frankly a lot of the goals against in this series are results of Hanifin and Markstrom not doing their jobs well.
I think in this series we saw three of the biggest choke jobs in Flames history. Andersson, Hanifin, and Markstrom were absolutely terrible this series.
