Well, stop the presses. We have to alert everyone that sample size is irrelevant according to TC. Too much time has elapsed to accurate judge performance for the coming season based on the last. Anyone think that Lafreniere is going to pot 100 points this season?

You are misconstruing what I said. (How shocking!) Of course, last year's performance is part of the equation when evaluating any player, but I am speaking specifically about gauging a veteran player's confidence from his on-ice performance in a meaningless preseason game. And, yes—we are speaking of pronouncing conclusions on the basis of ONE game, since that is precisely how many poor preseason performances that Markstrom has had.
Or, are you prepared to say, "Yes, Markstrom is clearly in the same head-space today that he was at the end of last season in April?"
