Tend. The. Goal.

Keep your focus, keep your position, and that's that. Weak rim play and slightly dodgy puck handling behind the net... he's not good at it.

I thought he played okay in terms of stopping shots, but do I trust Markstrom? At this point, no, he doesn't seem capable of focusing and making good decisions for a whole game. And in the playoffs last year, it cost... that one game he floated out of the net like 18 seconds into the game and totally gaffed it, and got scored on. Can't happen.

I am not of the "Flames win that game for sure if Vladar starts" camp... I thought Marky made some good saves. But I kinda do believe that the Flames would have won it with Vladar in.

Change the goalie coach then you isolate the variable if it’s that or if it’s mental.
