That second and third goal should not have gone in and completely changed the game. The Flames skaters played timid because they knew any chance against was likely to be in the back of the net.

That's fair. I just know criticizing Markstrom around here has been off limits for some posters so I must have got you confused. There's definitely something going on with Markstrom this season and I couldn't fault any of the players that may be losing confidence with him in the net. After he let in the 2nd goal you could see the air come out of the balloon as the team allowed two more quick ones (one called back fortunately on the offside). Not good.
