If it was the Canadiens who had the 45 shots and all the chances, and the Flames lost 2-1, very few people would be blaming goaltending.
The game had barely started and Markstrom came out of net wildly sliding like he was trying to steal second base. Except it's not baseball. Then he went after some Montreal player, Mangiapane comes in to defend him, and gets thrown in the box.
I don't blame Markstrom for letting in the Suzuki-Caufield goal, beautiful play from some talented players. They have done the same thing against other teams. But Markstrom was responsible for letting them on the power play to begin with.
Seems as though the more people talk about Phillips and Vladar, the more we keep getting Lucic and Markstrom.
