I totally agree.
I thought the second goal was bad, but was sitting right behind Rittich when Boeser scored. Gaudreau in the third period took a shot with less time on an identical setup from the same spot that Markstrom stopped, and it was easily the save of the game.
It's not that the shot was unstoppable, but it was one that would have required an utterly spectacular save like what Markstrom later delivered.
