That's a lot of skill for a sliding goaltender to hit a guy right on the tape!
Honestly guys ... I don't like the play either. But the mistake was already made by the two defensemen. It was either going to be a great save, or a quick goal.
Markstrom took a chance, ... as I said I don't like his call either. But there was a decent chance it was a goal based on the skaters not being ready to play, before he made that call.
The fact that he actually prevented the shot from the key player means to me he helped alleviate the situation to some degree. Bad luck from there put it in the net, which is a shame because they almost survived a crazy play.
Just seems like a dogpile to me finding fault in a goaltender for a blown defensive play in a 2-1 hockey game.
