Sorry, but just watch the games and this isn't simply a team being undone by terrible goals against from Markstrom. Are there some goals he would want back this year? Absolutely. Is he the driving force behind all of these losses? No way.
This version of the Flames rarely gets pucks into the slot, and seems to be spending way too much time in the neutral zone and on its heels because there are so few players able to gain the OZ. This is leading to turn-overs and dangerous rushes against - hence the repeated blown leads.
If this team's recipe for success is to have it's goalies hold teams to 1-2 goals every night, it's going to be a very long season given it can't seem to put the puck in the net very consistently, and the special teams is looking very mediocre.
