And before anyone pulls out the Rig of Fire video, there was some whiskey self medicating after everyone was in bed, with me at the time too.
It wouldn’t be surprising if his concerns with his wife’s pregnancy effected his play. But the Oilers series last year is when Markstrom’s cracks started to show and I don’t think his wife was pregnant then. Let’s hope he’s in a better state of mind now that his child and his wife are both healthy
