The problem with Vladar simply comes down to consistency and thats why he'll probably never crack the roster as an NHL starter, and its not a problem unique to him by any means.
Its simply that his average baseline play is below 'NHL Starter' range and hes inconsistent.
Some nights he can be a rockstar, other nights he's fairly steady and others he puts up a stinker. You need to have a steady baseline of 'Really Good' to be an NHL starting goaltender and I dont feel that he has that.
Now, I'm not going to base anything on last night, thats a 'forget it' game for everyone.

He is a career .892 take out his first year 5 games he is sitting at .895 and 3.08 GAA.
Now sure what the expectation is with Vladar, or even the hate. He is who he is.
