Its hardly a small sample size, Christ they might be even if things continue
If the Flames get average or better goaltending they will make the playoffs...if they don't they probably won't.
It boggles the mind that people don't realize how much goaltending matters to winning and losing in the NHL, coaches joke they should change the name from Hockey to Goaltending.
Markstom has absolutely blown 4-5 games that would have been wins with AVERAGE goaltending not even good goaltending...its not like I am saying "he could have stolen 4 more" he legit gave them away

Well you avoided my question about your 111 point pace claim. If you looked into it, I think you'd find one major factor contributing to the better record under Vladar which is clearly not sustainable.
But as for your rant about needing better goaltending, maybe read what people are posting. Couldn't agree more that the club needs better and more consistent goaltending. Why do you think they keep trotting out Markstrom? Because he has shown he can play at an elite level and you want to give him very chance to get back there. As good as Vladar has been, he hasn't yet shown to be much above average.
