What is LaBarbera doing wrong this year compared to last when Markstrom was a Vezina finalist? No goaltender ever had a year remotely close to that good under Sigalet. This is a mental thing with Markstrom so all they can do is work with him to get his confidence back which is a big thing for goaltenders. Hellebuyck was bad last season and part of the reason the Jets missed the playoffs kind of similar to Markstrom doing his best to derail the Flames playoff plans this season. This season he's a big reason the Jets are going to likely have home dates in the playoffs. I won't be surprised if Markstrom is a lot better next season as that's the way it is for goaltenders sometimes.
