Goalies are paid to make saves. Markstrom made some good ones in the 2nd and 3rd period. But they should not have been down 2-1 early on. It's just happening too often. Either the shooters on the other teams are spectacularly good, or incredibly lucky, or Markstrom isn't making enough saves - which one of the 3 seems the most plausible?

Of course people are going to strongly disagree with the bold, that's the new CP this season. Even if Markstrom plays well, is the best player on the Flames and they still lose we try to find a way to either make it his fault or at the very least say he didn't help. I get it.
Pretty obvious the issue last night was the team defense and the atrocious giveaways. Doesn't matter who is net if the Flames are going to serve up chances like that on a silver platter.
