Recap of the losing games and his goals:
Game 2
Keith's goal - Saveable but not terrible
McDavid goal - Breakaway deke, little chance
Bouchard goal - perfect blast inside post, no chance
Hyman breakaway - 50/50 chance
Game 3
Hyman goal - perfect shot inside post but maybe lost his angle a bit so 50/50
Kane three goals - all alone going one way and getting deked, poor defensive play, little chance to save
Game 4
Nuge goal - gift wrapped bad play, all on Marky
Hyman goal - PP rebound, no chance
Kane goal - deflected of defender stick, low chance to save
Nuge goal - rebound, bad coverage by Shilly, no chance
Don't forget all the other stops he's made like Drai one timers, Hyman breakaway, Kassian breakaway etc.
Flames are giving up way too many uncontested opportunities. This is a team issue. If Flames had those exact opportunities, I'm willing to bet we would also be scoring.
Tkachuk the future leader and 10 million dollar man has been neutered by Kane
Lucic has been dead weight, doesn't get into anyone's grill
Jarnkrok has pretty much been Jarnchoke
Dube isn't using his speed up create more chances
Hanifin been turned into Noah Pylon
Stone is back to blasting his rockets wide and high
Sutter needs to feel the pulse of the players and stop rolling these brutal guys when it's crunch time.

Well even then, Markstrom has a bad high danger unblocked save % above expected.
He's been bad by every metric, advanced and simple.
Especially in comparison to the remaining goalies.
And the Flames have the worst goals against above expected out of all the teams remaining. All the teams remaining have roughly the same number of high danger shots against. The Flames have 53.33% of the takeawaks in the games they've played. But the Flames do lead in offensive zone giveaways.
Based on the stats, it's clear that the Flames haven't been great defensively. But Markstrom has been outright bad by any metric.
