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.

Markstrom is a modern day Dominik Hasek once the other team has built up a 3 goal lead. He slams the door shut. Unfortunately it is usually hard to comeback when you are down by multiple goals. But after spotting 3 goals on the first 9 shots, you can almost guarantee that Markstrom will stop the next 21 shots.
