Blissfully Mediocre
Oh, and just for good measure he threw in an okay one earlier

Loved Tolvanen’s reaction to the first one. Utter disbelief!

I watched it a few times. Every time I was more impressed. Great skill, anticipation, athleticism, and effort.
Holy shit I didn't even see the 3 on 1 save...
Incredible saves honestly. Might be one of the best single game highlight packages you'll ever see.

Everyone’s had that moment where you want to cuss out the goalie and then shake his hand.

Was looking up the stats on moneypuck the other day and noticed that Markström leads the league in high danger save% above expected, with 0.202 above expected.
That is, for high danger chances, the expected save% for Markström has been 68.7% but he's actually had a 88.9% save percentage on them.
(though keep in mind these are on unblocked shot attempts which means it counts missed shots as saves, since moneypuck gonna moneypuck)
Unrelated side note:
Words aren't enough to convey how absolutely trash garbage junk atrocious pile of dung Twitter videos are.

Too lazy to change username
he’s still at max flexibility in his mid-30s, that much is clear
Exact opposite of what the devils were getting with their goalies last year.

That one game is better than most goalies career highlight reel.

He is obviously doing great based on the high danger scoring chances against but often goalies that have a lot of highlight reel saves are goalies out of proper position.

if he had caught the puck it would have been a ho - hum save that happens every night. The theatrics with the glove hand flying is the only thing that makes it appear exceptional

Not what I'd call a ho-hum save at all, most goalies probably wouldn't have been able to recover quickly enough after that last pass.

As a goalie, even in beer leagues, it's maybe the greatest feeling second only to a shutout where nobody solves you on the day. Personally a great save feels better than any goals I've ever scored.

Devils, what have youdone to the guy that let in 24 goals in 5 games against the Oilers in the playoffs?
Bananas. Those saves will remain up there when all is said and done for SOTY.

Wouldn't be shocked if he has 4 of the top 10 saves of this season already. Honestly didn't think he'd have a better save than the one against Buffalo in game 1.
Then last night happened, and he beat that save twice.
