There were a few beast performances tonight, but none better than Markstrom. Calgary played fairly well over all, and i wouldn't say that Calgary stole this one, but if Markstrom didn't come up big tonight, Calgary would have lost. I thought it was premature to stick Markstrom in right away, as I expected him to be a bit rusty. Just comes right in and was almost unbeatable.
It really is nice to see his turnaround this year after last season. This is definitely one of those feel-good stories for this season, as it seems like yesterday when Markstrom stated "I suck at hockey now." He has been solid all season long.
