Markstrom's play in round 2 surprised me. He was absolutely amazing in round 1, but he came back down vs the Oilers. I acknowledge that facing 97 and 29 the way he did with the players giving them free lanes 70% of the time they were on the ice is not a good gamble. I just thought that Markstrom would stop a lot more of those high danger chances than he was able to. Probably just unrealistic expectations on my part of the level of goalie Markstrom is and to be honest, a bit unfair to expect the guy to stop those 2 players when they are allowed to cut in the way they were allowed to.
