I get the frustration, but Markstrom had nothing to do with the loss last night. The Flames failed to do nearly enough offensively again and it wouldn't have mattered if the bolts had scored 5.
If you want to be mad at someone, maybe start looking at skaters that aren't pulling their weight to give the team some cushion to work with defensively. In this league it's a lot easier to defend and play goal when you've got a lead.
This team is going to be in tough and its going to be a slog all year. I think it was clear after all the changes - if they can slowly build and peak with more consistent scoring later in the year, they will be a tough out in the post season with the roster they now have. Don't expect them to be 15 games over .500 though, its probably not in the cards.

No. The Bolts scored three.
Two were empty netters.
