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.
I agree, it mostly just a thought.

But I was thinking about some of Markstrom's positioning and rebound control (or lack there of). Wondering if it was ALL him or like feedback he was getting etc.
