For me, good or bad performances from the goalies seem to come down to puck tracking. If Markstrom and Vladar track well, they anticpate, don't have to move wildly and seem to be in good postion. If not, they move late and make either spectacular saves (because they are out of position) or don't make the save at all. Last night I didn't feel like Vladar was tracking the puck well, or anticipating the shot directions.
I also feel like Wolf will always look a bit out of control because he has to move more to cover the same area.

I think I've generally been pretty lenient when it comes to criticizing our goalie coaches.
I do find that our goalies, those of size, exhibit some common behaviours when they get to Calgary that we didn't see before they were here. Could be coaching, could be them just trying what feels natural or different based on the defense in front of them.
Right now I'm bothered by how often I see Vladar on his pads as soon as the puck enters the zone. That said I didn't see a ton of Vladar in Boston/Providence so maybe this is the norm for him.
