That doesn’t mean it’s the only reason this team has struggled. But it’s the biggest reason.
Honestly, what’s the downside of going with Vladar at this point? That he might play even worse than Markstrom? To do that, he would have to play worse than any other goalie in the playoffs so far. And if he does? <shrug>
Alternatively, Vladar might play average. Which would be a big boost to the Flames’ fortunes.

Vladar should’ve played Game 4, that’s on Sutter.
What’s the point of having a good backup if he’s not gonna play when the starter needs help? … so bizarre to me.
The team doesn’t need the goalie to steal any games… just be average!! … Marky is struggling, so let Vladar help him out… it’s a team game.
