He currently sits at -8.13 GSAA in round two. No other goalie in round two is worse than -3.95.
It’s not that he’s letting in back breaking low danger chances (also known as the Brian Elliott), he’s saved 39/40 Low Danger shots in the series which is fine.
But he’s let in 7 medium danger goals on 45 shots which is .844. That’s second worst in round 2 behind only Husso.
And he’s let in 11 goals on 35 high danger chances for a .686 which is by far the worst of any goalie still in the playoffs.
The team needs to tighten up around him but it does look like the guys are nervous a bit because every break down feels like it’s a goal against right now.
Goaltending is the one area where the Flames should have had a clear advantage coming into the series, and so far it’s been the biggest weakness

I’m so jaded as a Flames fan. I want to believe that they can pull off a miracle but there is nothing about this franchise to suggest that it will happen. Good on the people for believing that it can be done but I unfortunately don’t share that optimism. This one cuts deep when you look at a guy like Evander Kane having success. You would think that at some point karma would punish a team that employs someone with his character. Let’s hope Colorado can save us from this nightmare.

Were sitting on the patio watching the game after Mens League golf and my golf pro decided it would be okay to wear an Oilers jersey. Looks like he got the last laugh on us.
What a ####ing loser

I would take the farm kid with back to back shutouts even.
Don't Brian Elliott this season into the trash.
It’s not going to happen.
Sutter is not going to go to Vladar in an elimination game.
Markstrom has to be the one to figure this out, and the team a bit too because it’s been too much from a high quality perspective as well, but he needs to steal a game to help try to push this to 7.

Yup. That’s not Sutter
And it’s a mental game. Has to be some pretty strong drug to get Markstrom out of that psychological mess
Toffoli started the season in Montreal shape which the whole Habs team this year looked like they spent the summer on poutines.
He was not under the conditioning regime that Sutter enforced on the Flames after the end of the last season.
He missed some games with a hand injury that needed surgery when he was with MTL. Perhaps re aggravated or something, if not he really damn sucks at shooting the puck right now.

It’s funny. We know Sutter. Ride or die
But you can’t dispute the fact that he has let in 4 GA vs Edm 5 games running
I’d consider changing it up.
He said if Connor gets 4 points a game, he’d say have a good next series
He was silent on if his goalie allows 4 goals a game
