Markstrom is less effective when he is overworked. This also makes him more prone to injury at just the times you need him the most. With Calgary, it's almost like they figured once they got Markstrom, the rest would be easy. I would point out that Markstrom was Vancouver's #1 goalie for only three seasons, two of which the team missed the playoffs. He currently has the highest GAA of his full-time career (2.87) and the lowest save percentage (.909). In other words he is playing well for Calgary, but not as well as he did for Vancouver. I don't wish the guy any ill will; he already has to cope with living in Calgary, but he is not the guy to lead the Flames to the promised land.

I still like Marky, clearly our guys do too, but yeah.. he left for a rival. He knew full well what he was doing, he went to a direct divisional rival.
Do I wish him the best outside of hockey? Absolutely, I hope his life is great. But as a hockey player we'll be competing against for a playoff spot for however long he's in Calgary? Nah, I hope he loses more than he wins. His winning doesn't help us.
