LOL at the coach on fan960 who said recently he gets annoyed when fans say the team plays differently in front of Markstrom and it's not true. Not pinning the entire loss on him, but clear as day the team DOES in fact play differently in front of him. Either you suck at coaching, or are full of lies.

That people in and around the organization continue to deny this is laughable and shows how little self-awareness this old man's club has
Vladar is
9-0-3 in his last 12 . 9-0-3!!
And he's been only marginally better numbers-wise than Markstrom. I do think he's been better in net overall. But given the vast chasm of difference in their records over that time with not too different positional numbers it is quite easy to deduce that yes the team damn well plays differently in front of Vladar than Markstrom
Why are people burying their heads in the sand around this issue? this is Edmonton-esque levels of denial
Edit: The extra ####ed part is he won't chalk it up to superior goaltending either. Sutter is also trying to sell a narrative that they've been par with one another (markstrom with a bEtTeR GAA)
Huh, so why is one guy 5-7-0 and the other 9-0-3 if their performances have been close, but the team has also played no different in front of one guy vs the other (WITH Vladar getting the more difficult opponents)? Riddle me that, coach
