Is this a thing people believe? The team won plenty of games in spite of Vladar's play, not because of it. And the more chances he got, the worse he played. That's not how it's supposed to work, is it?
I'm all aboard the fire Sutter train now, toot toot, but the fantasies people make up about the season are incredible. "Oh, well Vladar was red hot with his sub .900 sv% and just needed ONE MORE game after the All Star break to REALLY get going but Sutter played Markstrom and that RUINED HIM."
If Vladar was as good as people here pretended he was, he would've taken over the starter job. He didn't. The end.
