Markstrom is so much better than this. He was a monster in Vancouver and was unbeatable for most of last year. Went toe to toe against Oettinger putting up the best goalie performance in a decade and outplayed him.
But just average to bad every single game this year. It makes no sense. Talented players don’t just forget what made them great.
If I had to guess he’s probably injured and the Flames are continuing to insist on him playing through it. Wouldn’t be the first time the team pisses away a core player through accumulated injuries.
Sogaard doesn’t even have a .900 in the AHL and he wasn’t tested tonight. Built a 3-1 lead mostly on Ottawa failing to cash in on their chances only to give them back the favor in OT. Hanifin making it 4/5 on recent Flames breakaways to not require a save from the goalie. At least Pelletier hit the next last game.
Kadri dog#### again. So happy to have his retirement paid for. Would rather have Monahan on the LTIR and give Kadri’s minutes to Rooney.
