Vladar has been below average. Chicago, Columbus, and Arizona are at the bottom of the league and they all have better goaltenders than Vladar.
Vladar only looks average because Markstrom is playing so far below it.
Do impartial Sutter fans think .905 SV% and 2.73 GAA is “solid”? There are 30 better goaltenders in both categories. (And before the usual posters say “And Markstrom has been solid???” No, he hasn’t, not ever valid critique of Vladar needs to be excused by “but Markstrom!”)
