Vladar for some reason gets more support. People who dislike Markstrom try and claim it's because the team has no confidence in him but we as fans have no clue. For all we know they might feel like they need to be more responsible when Vladar plays and lose that mentality with Markstrom.

Vladar can put up a .857 and come away with a W, while Markstrom can put up numbers like .974 and .931 and still lose. It’s a strange problem to have.
And some people here act like the problem couldn’t be anything other than goaltending and are dismayed that someone wouldn’t have full confidence in Vladar. I like the player and think it would be nice if he was the answer but he’s sub-.900 in half his wins including in 3 of his last 5. Pretty similar to Markstrom lately, the latter just can’t buy a win.
