Markstrom could have a stroke, whiff on a puck, and there'd be people on this board saying he was "unorthodox" and that these things happen.
He is capable of outstanding play. His consistency this year is not good. There's a gaff or a "probably-should-have" every game. There's a few "Wow he stopped that? Amazing." every game too. But the weak goals have to disappear, the goals where you sort of wonder where his concentration is at.
No one hear can possibly be thinking "Hey we'll win tonight, we've got Markstrom." It's not like that. "Man I hope he doesn't..." is more where I think every single one of us is at.
