How do people just ignore this most basic statistic and suggest it is all Markstrom?

Yeah. Markstrom is not as good as last year. But there were plenty of games where he played exactly the same as in losses this year, except the team played way better in front of him and in those losses turned into wins (and Markstrom's big saves like he had later in the third last night) were what people remembered, not any of the goals. Also I don't recall the same number of high level chances being consistently allowed. A lot of shutouts posters refused to give Markstrom credit because his night was so easy.
