Goaltending effects gameplay, confidence, momentum, etc. of the whole team. If Markstrom makes a big save instead of letting in the second goal (or whatever), the game could completely change direction.
I don't think it's as simple as saying "you can't win scoring one goal" after their goalie let in three in the first period, completely crushing the energy in the building and sagging the team.
The whole team sucked, not just Markstrom. No doubt about that. Just sayin'
