I don't buy that for a second and it's completely subjective unless you have some quantification to share. The people who makes careers out of identifying this stuff will tell you Markstrom is underperforming compared to his peers, so I trust that more than "we give up extra, extra grade A chances".
Plus Vladar has been better in front of the exact same team.
Last night the flames team defense was crap. But Markstrom still got 4 goals scored by his team and gave up 5. Vladar's numbers aren't great, but I think he's been making that one extra save in either regulation or OT that allows the Flames to win.
