Yep. I was frustrated that Markstrom wasn't moved at the deadline but my frustration lies with New Jersey, not Conroy. What an inept attempt to shore up their goaltending when it was critical to making the playoffs.

They literally ran out their own clock on getting Markstrom in there to start winning games.
