The goalie covers less than 1005 of the net. If the shooter puts it somewhere the goalie ain't its's a goal.

You hating on Markstrom changes none of the math.
His arm is supposed to be against his body, it's the butterfly and you do it to cover as much of the net as you can. What you are saying is there is zero skill in playing a breakaway. Just stand there and hope. doesn't matter where your limbs are as they cover some portion of the net.

That could have been saved, and given Markstrom's poor season it's not unreasonable to point out his issues.

Whaaaa? Try holding a goalie stick so the blade is down properly in a butterfly and hold your arm against your body.

I was unaware we can't say anything negative about our goaltending. I mean, it's been pretty bad this year.
3 GA in his last 8 periods including travel between b2b games.

Goalies get scored on.

He has been great the last week.

It’s too bad the 4th line has absolutely no finish, because they are creating all kinds of chances.

Very impressive that the team largely chasing the play is 0-2 in infractions.

Hockey people were wrong - playing with the puck gets you penalized.

Monahan playing pretty nice *center* game.

Not too shabby when he's not surrendering the puck carrying duties to Gaudreau.

Is Nordstrom the most improved forward under Sutter?

Feels like Sutter is doing a great job of putting guys into roles where they will excel. Nordstrom, Ritchie, even Leivo. The role players are contributing now.

The dude has some speed, puck handling and he hits a ton for his size. If he had hands he’d be a first liner.
