I gave very specific, relevant facts to support my argument against what you posted originally...deflecting isn't going to work here...both goalies stopped the puck at similar rates in that span and it clearly came down to the imbalance in the game to game Flames offense (or lack of) for their difference in win/loss record.
As a side note...during that 9 week period, Markstrom gave up more than 3 goals only three times (5,4,4) in 17 games, while Vladar gave up more than 3 goals three times too (5,5,4), but in only 13 games. Your "immensely struggling"/"red hot" viewpoint is clearly way off base and that's what I posted about.

The splits are incredibly relevant to the discussion and highlight EXACTLY why one goaltender was winning hockey games while the other wasn’t. If you want to ignore them then have at it.
