This is not true at all. They consistently outplay teams (like they’re doing tonight). They don’t win just because of Markstrom.

Much better team than Edmonton and it isn’t that close.
Bro, they're dominating this game and are still losing due to sub par goaltending. They had a massive losing streak earlier this year when Markstrom was playing like shit. Just like the Leafs when they had Anderson, no matter how good the team is, they cannot win without elite goaltending. The team is a paper tiger, if Markstrom slumps or gets hurt they will tailspin.

Ive watched Edmonton roll AHL goalies and ECHL level defense all season. I've watched them get absolutely embarrassed and still pot 6 goals and win. They are a 'bad' team, but way more dangerous because they have more explosive potential.

To use a car analogy, the Flames are constantly running at the redline while the Oilers are stuck in 2nd gear. So the Flames are way out in front but its more likely they'll blow their engine and not finish and Oilers will still have a chance to come out on top.

Thank you
Hey buddy, nice to see you here. This is a great Board to visit. Very welcoming.


Blues are battling hard & I agree that Husso is looking so solid

This is a dumb argument. You can say the same thing about the Blues and Husso. Except the Blues aren’t nearly as good as Calgary.

Basically every team needs really good goaltending to win or at least go far. That’s not unique to Calgary whatsoever. Find me a team that’s going to do anything with subpar goaltending lol.

Plus I wouldn’t even say Markstrom has been bad tonight. You can’t just look at his save percentage and not watch the game. The Blues’ goals haven’t been weak.
