It is kind of wild that the Flames finally landed their franchise goalie in Markstrom and they only made the playoffs in 1 of his 4 years here and it could be argued his performance is why they lost to Edmonton in 5 and also why they missed the playoffs in 2023.

1 season was wasted in that stupid Canadian bubble. 2 seasons marred in off ice drama with players wanting out, and a year with Sutter going crazy.
Not the best timeline to be a Flame. Was never a huge Markstrom fan to begin with though.
