Having said that, I also want to say that anyone who says Markstrom was out-goaltended, or was the 2nd best goalie against DAL is totally missing the plot. Markstrom was fantastic in that series. And not only that, but anything less than fantastic would have resulted in the Flames losing the series.
The only way the Flames advance from that series was if Markstrom was the 2nd best goalie in round one. And he was. He did what was required in order to win the series. Trying to downplay that is pretty silly, IMO.
