The Flames didn’t play great in front of Markstrom. But it’s hard to imagine the results being worse if Vladar started.

This 100%
Some people are treating it like the chicken or the egg.
Markstrom started the collapse first and the team followed. Panic set in when every innocent looking shot from Hyman started dribbling through and the game plan went out the window.
The team still almost outscored their collapse and Markstrom looked like he was getting it back a bit until that whole game 5 kicking debacle.
What an ugly series that was Hahaha. Let's hope the bad mojo left with #13 and #19
