Of course he's also shown that he's not always great. I don't think he was the Canucks problem in rd 2 against VGK as they failed to score in 2 of his 4 starts, but it also didn't seem like a crazy idea to switch to Demko...it just seemed like a hail-mary, and it nearly worked (and no, switching to Vladar would have been dumb).
More reason to re-think Markstrom's load mgmt, though.

Wasn't he hurt/dying of fatigue rather than 'pulled' in Vancouver/Vegas?
