The point being, this can also apply to any goalie’s individual game, or seven a string of games. Markstrom has generally been good this season but has a poor save percentage and a losing record. For the most part because of the team and not his own performance.

I know what the point is.
But the post I quoted was not an argument. It was basically "nah nah"
One game is not a statistical argument. I don't think last night proved anything, either way. But let's argue with good, reasoned posts (like you did here), and not like some posters who, unfortunately, we can't hold to a reasonable standard.
