But the overall point is yes, they lose no matter who plays and goaltending wasn’t the issue.

This is something that I feel is true about Vladar AND Markstrom. And it is a reason why I continue to wonder if the goalie coaches are to blame. They are both exaggerated in their movements.
Any goalie that joins the Flames, tends to get worse over time. I am not at practice, and I don't know what they are telling the goalies, so I can't say that it is this or that that is causing the problem. I just see a pattern of the goalies getting worse, into their 2nd and 3rd seasons with the Flames. It seems to have been happening for many years now.
Let's look at it another way: which goalies have PROGRESSED while being a member of the Flames? Who was the last one? Have there been any, since Kipper?
