For me it is quite simple and it all comes down to stopping the puck. When if ever has Vladar peeled off 3-4 straight games (not consecutive starts) as a Flame where you're looking at him the same way we are all looking at Wolf now? He's almost constantly sporting a sub .900sv% and nowhere near the middle of the pack in any advanced figures.
Yes, there are extremes in the argument, but I've seen better Flames goalies torched here for being far better than Vladar has been this year and last year. You can still have some bloated numbers and look good in the NHL and it's few and far between with him where you walk away feeling he got a raw deal in a game.
