The level of panic that Markstrom’s no longer an NHL starter, that he’s completely lost it - I think that should definitely be subsiding. Credit where it’s due, he’s a really good NHL goalie, and lots of guys are struggling to start the year. Scoring is way up league wide.
He was the second best goalie of the first round behind Oettinger, and he made big save after big save.
He’s still good. He hasn’t been injured.
The team in front of him was completely overhauled, and they don’t quite know how to work together yet. Tanev has been injured. Stone is out. No Kylington. That’s three key defence men who either played a huge role in your terrific regular season or your playoff success.
That’ll have an impact.
But they’ll figure it out. There are too many good players in that room, and I trust the coach more than anyone else in hockey.
Relax.
