He's still a good goalie to have signed long-term.

Yup. I actually think Markstrom was only really bad in game one, which they won. The team really tended to fold around him though, and he didn't make enough mindblowing saves (he made a bunch though). I really don't think Smith outgoaltended him so much as the Flames didn't play hard enough.
