If you look at goalies who've played 8 games or more Markstrom had the lowest save percentage in both low and high danger scoring chances compared to expected. Over 5 games Markstrom was objectively worse than Mike Smith unless you are of the opinion that those models are completely made up.
Markstrom had an .852 save percentage for God's sake. He was downright terrible. Not saying other people weren't terrible too, but that doesn't mean Markstrom wasn't putrid.
The goalie apologizing in Calgary is next level. I guess that's what happens when you haven't had a good goalie in like 15 years.

Markstrom wasn't good enough in the series. Period.
But that doesn't mean he didn't have a great season and isn't a good #1 going forward.
As much as you want to yell at people for goalie apologizing, you have had a weird thing against Markstrom all season. I get you are feeling that the playoff performance validates that. But i don't see it that way.
He's a good #1 goalie. I rank him in the 5-10 range in the league.
