Markstrom was probably the biggest culprit this season when it comes to the Flames goal differential. It’s the exact same coach, systems and mostly the same team yet he goes from top 5 starter to bottom 5 starter with very little rhyme or reason.
I think it’s fair to say that if he gave the Flames just average, just a career average like performance this season. He would’ve saved the Flames around 26 to 27 goals which based on goal differential, would’ve put the Flames at roughly 100 points and an easy in for the playoffs.
Thanks for crushing our hopes against the Oilers last year and the entire 22-23 season Markstrom. I don’t even know what to expect from him next season if he’s still here, his save% is all over the map as a Flame.
First Year = Average
Second Year = Great
Third Year = Terrible
We could honestly get anything from him which is not good if you’re upper management and trying to model/project next season.
