this is the best way I can put it.. Markstrom is generally pretty good and competitive in net, he just finds way to lose games at key moments
people who say "but he's been good" or "better" aren't even wrong
he just still finds ways to lose
it might be a bad 2 minute stretch, or even 30 seconds where the fundamentals are MIA. but that's all it takes, and is usually the difference
he's paid and expected to make not all of those saves at key times, but at least some of them, and more than he has this season
that's the bottom line
if he's saving over 90% of the shots put his way, no matter how he gets to that number, the team is way better off and comfortably in the playoffs right now. but we need him at that number
it is the benchmark for nhlers, generally
