I mean I think there is a big enough body of work that Vladar should have a lot of rope. Not sure he will, but the guy is 8-3-3 in all the games he has started. 12 of those games are against teams above .500 and 2 of them against teams below .500. He gets the tough games and wins or gets points most of the time.
I think Vladar may appear to not get beat up as much because people do less of it after wins. And when he starts the Flames win more, if you count OTL as losses, in his starts the Flames win 8/14 (57% of the time). In Markstrom’s starts the flames win 13/30 (43% of the time). Folks are going to be grumpier after a loss.
