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.

I fully acknowledged in this thread, and as the season went on that Markstrom has a great season and great round 1.
But he has also had a bad season and terrible series for the Flames. He has shown up for half his time in Calgary.
He was terrible in this series and anyone saying we wouldn't still be playing with better goaltending is kidding themselves. People deflect by pointing to his Vezina nomination, and bad Mike Smith goals. But at the end of the day I don't believe he gave the Flames a chance in this series.
