I'm assuming Vladar starts and the team comes out differently and we get the win. They seem to play with more confidence in front of him and I think from Markstroms early season yips he still hasn't earned back the teams trust. Even though it seems detrimental it really seems like the Flames try to do too much to keep the puck when he's in, including poor pinches and when they backfire they turn into extra odd man rushes. The flow of the team seems to gel better overall when the guys in front have confidence they dont have to avoid everything they possibly can from coming back their way.
