Alflives Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 10 hours ago, -AJ- said: I've been noticing that Marky's save percentage has snuck up a little bit. Sure enough, in the month of March, Markstrom has a .923 save percentage so far. Although he still lacks consistency, it's good to see some improvement at least. Last year he had a .910 save percentage as a backup and this year, he's at .912 so far as the starter. Not great numbers, but it's an improvement at least. Is there pressure right now? I wonder if the lack of pressure is allowing Marky to relax, and play better? It’s like being a backup - less pressure. I hope he learns that he’s really good, when he relaxes, and just plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Markstrom has had a really good season, good to see for his first full year as a starter. Compare to Ryan Miller's time as a Canuck 2014-15 Vancouver Canucks NHL 45 0 0 2542 107 5 6 2.53 29 15 1 1091 0.911 3 0 0 2015-16 Vancouver Canucks NHL 51 1 2 3027 137 13 1 2.70 17 24 9 1497 0.916 - - - 2016-17 Vancouver Canucks NHL 54 1 22 3229 150 0 3 2.80 18 29 6 1587 0.914 Markstrom this year 2017-18 Vancouver Canucks NHL 58 3 4 3286 147 0 2 2.68 21 26 6 1540 0.913 Overall, pretty similar..........but he has been hot as of late so that bumped him up. The big knock are the bad or untimely goals, but if he can improve on this and maintain a solid GAA and Save % he will do well for this team.

BananaMash Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I like Markstom. I think he'll be a great tandem goalie once Demko is up here. If we had another capable guy to slide in when he's having cold streaks, it would be perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then we just need to be patient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwags Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Marky looked better as the season wore on. I think he'll be better next year, more mentally prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, He finished with a higher save percentage than last year. Still not great, but an improvement while also doubling his usual number of games played is a good sign. If he improves at all next year (along with some good defense maybe), he'll actually make Demko work for his full-time job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd had "that" Markstrom all year, we probably wouldn't have been battling in the bottom-6. Despite all the early and soft goals, he actually had similar numbers to Miller's last year: Markstrom: 2.71/.912 Miller (16/17): 2.80/.914 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SingleThorn Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 There will so so many ?s at camp this year. Most will be about our very shiny new toys. There will be a number of ?s about veterans. Eriksson, Gaunce, Sutter and Markstrom. Markstrom, after years of grooming, kind of dropped the ball in his bid to be a #1 goaltender. Too many early goals and too many games with a soft goal. 2018/ 19 is, I believe, the make or break year for JM. He has the ability. Can he make ability into reality ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll soon see whether he can or not. But as of today. He doesn't really have anyone pushing him hard for the number one spot. It's basically just given to him. Hoping that Demko has someone pushing him so that's there competition and drive to be better every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung1 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 For a long time the book on markstrom has been weak glove hand. Tonight, that glove hand looked very solid. He was snagging pucks all over the place. In traffic, off clear shots, on the shoot out. Makes me think he's worked on it this offseason or made some kind of adjustment. Very encouraging to see. Rebound control looked solid as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kootenay Gold Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 That was a very solid performance from Marky last night. I hope he can go on an extended streak and prove all the naysayers wrong about him being just a backup goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he played amazing (he didn't) but the 5th goal was the only truly 'bad' goal. The others were all deflections or massive defensive breakdowns in front of him where Carolina did their best Harlem Globetrotters impersonation/he had little chance on.

And again, nobody's suggesting he's a Vezna candidate. He didn't let in the '1st shot of the game' in the first game so far this year and the one that went in last night was deflected. Excrement happens. We often start behind because we're a rebuilding team with everything that entails (including, but not exclusive to, mediocre goaltending).
