It's pretty gross. He needs to play to his contract. Because he is barely above replacement level.

The hyperbole is pretty gross.

Ugh. Every replay shows how weak that goal was. A muffin shot from a bad angle.

This is a woefully inaccurate assessment of the Flames recent outings.

I think I remember why I stopped coming into the game threads.

Markstrom needs to make that save. Was soft.

Did they even show one replay of that Nesterov hit? I totally missed it.

Ok, so after two great saves, you're allowed a softie?

He's being paid to make above average saves, that was a save he should have made that's all I'm saying.

I'm sure if you asked him, he would say the same thing.

Brutal goal by Markstrom to give up. A real stinker.

He has been the worse goalie in a lot of games. Flames cannot outscore weak goaltending.

Jack Michael's is awful!

So just let him walk in? I guarantee that isn't the gameplan

[GioforPM]

OK, that was a save.

[ComixZone]

For all the hate towards Markstrom…perhaps exposure to our goalie department/coaching has in fact screwed up his game?

Started the season great. The more exposure to the Flames, the worse he’s gotten.

…or perhaps it’s all injury related…or perhaps it’s both.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Wow huge save Markstrom, thought that was a tap in.

[Savvy27]

Okay now that was a hell of a save.

[djsFlames]

Markstrom's allowed 2 or less in 7 of the last 8.

People are quick to throw him under the bus. Bad goal but literally every goalie has a handful of those.

[Bonded]

Now he got that goal back

[1qqaaz]

Nice saves by Markstrom on Yamamoto

[Rejean31]

Thing is Markstrom let’s that go right through him completely against the flow of the game. Calgary was setting the pace and then there goalie let’s in that stinker to completely deflate his team. Was he this bad against Edmonton when he played for the Nucks?

Markstrom your family member? Goal was soft simple as that. But he’s made some key saves this period

[GioforPM]

That was a McDive.
