Want an apt comparison?? Tommi Salo.
Dude was just fine and then got mentally destroyed by Belarus in the Olympics, he never recovered.
Markstrom got mentally destroyed in the playoffs by the Oilers, and I have zero faith he will recover.
Hopefully he overtrains in the offseason ensuring he ends up on LTIR for the remainder of his contract.

I bet you said the same thing before last season.
Was Markstrom good in his last 3 games or not? .931, .939, .970. He's .915 in April. He was pretty decent in December as well. He was terribly inconsistent and his team didn't help him out with the grade A chances popping up out of nowhere as well.
As for Salo, he was (a) never that good. Two decent seasons. And while he was mediocre, his post Olympics were on par for the rest of his career, and his record reflects the team he played for. In 03-04 he was .896 and then got traded to the Avs where he was suddenly .912.
