Neither goalie was amazing tonight, but Martin let in two soft goals. I stand by that 100%.
Did Markstrom let in two soft goals? Not in my book.

Bad goalies make the other teams shots look good. Markstrom allowed 3 goals on 2.86 expected.Martin let in 3 goals on 3.77 expected. And those numbers are worse for Markstrom if you exclude OT, which the Flames would not have been playing in if he played better than Martin in regulation.
This has been the story all year long, and I think you only need to watch how the Flames play in front of Markstrom vs. Vladar to see how they feel about it.
