Which would then send you spiraling down the lane with one faction saying the Flames are crappier in front of one goalie because they don't trust him vs one goalie being unlucky because the team isn't as sound in front of them.

I have noticed lately that on many Vladar starts the other team doesn't get as many shots on net to start the game as they do when Markstrom plays and the chances aren't as dangerous. That definitely helps with not giving up an early goal.
Like you said, you could say it's because they don't trust him or you could say he has bad luck and they decide to not show up when he plays.
