The fall off of Jacob Markstrom

[dgibb10]

To start the year:

33 games, 0.916, 2.5 GAA, 32.78 GSAx

Then, near valentine's day trade rumours heat up and allegedly flames ownership vetoes a trade

Since then:

10 games, 0.879, 3.5 GAA, -1.93 GSAx

Oof.

Goalies.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Look at who they traded in front of him

 

[hamzarocks]

He sucks

Overrated goalie

Hanifin has played in 7/10 games in this sample and Tanev in 5/10

 

[Stephen]

Zadorov, Hanifin, Tanev, Lindholm traded out. Mystery solved.

Zadorov, Hanifin, Tanev, Lindholm traded out. Mystery solved.

Hanifin played in 7/10 of these games, Tanev in 5/10.

He's not facing significantly more shots, he's not facing significantly higher danger chances (hence the large gap in GSAx).

He’s also missed time with an injury. Who knows how healthy he is?

It’s not like any other goalie is lighting it up for the Flames. They’re just not a good team.

C'mon. It's Calgary. Give me a half season of sucky Markky on a proper team and I'll buy what you're selling.

(Edmonton did break his spirit though, in that series)

I can offer you 2 full seasons of a sucky markstrom on very talented Calgary teams in 20-21 and 22-23

Seems to be just an inconsistent goalie who the clock struck midnight on once again and turned back into a pumpkin

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

His team is ass what do you expect

 

[Spawn]

Makes sense to me.

Expects to be traded and doesn't get traded. Sees the rest of the team dismantled with guys traded away. Organization gives up on season so he does too. Combine that with the fact he's historically a good goalie rather than an elite goalie.

Doesn't seem like that big of a surprise to me.

Oof.

Yea he didnt get traded so he was pissed

 

[Rowlet]

Hanifin has played in 7/10 games in this sample and Tanev in 5/10

The Flames have played 13 games since trading Tanev, and 11 since trading Hanifin.

The Flames have played 13 games since trading Tanev, and 11 since trading Hanifin.

Markstrom has played 6 games since the tanev trade and 4 since the hanifin trade

Markstrom has played 6 games since the tanev trade and 4 since the hanifin trade

What were his stats in the games that had them vs the ones that didn't?

 

[DieSendungmitderMaus]

Goalies are streaky, news at 11

 

[dgibb10]

0.888, 3.5 GAA, pre Hanifin trade
0.867, 3.5 GAA post hanifin trade

Yeah but I was told for months by a certain fanbase that Markstrom was a "guarantee at great goaltending" and that my team were idiots for not trading the moon for him

No one gives up the moon for goalies these days.

The Devils need a goalie, but there’s no point paying a lot for one.

 

[Da McBomb]

Maybe the Devils were fortunate not selling the farm for Markstrom and picking up Jake Allen instead for just a 3rd rounder. Calgary should have traded him at his peak.. not sure if they'll get as good of a return for him now in the summer.

 

[Bounces R Way]

the Trade Forum melodrama

They traded an entire top 4 pairing and have been playing multiple waiver pickups every game. He's also been injured and the entire team has pretty clearly thrown in the towel. You've really cracked the code here OP, consider a blog.

 

[Canucks LB]

They traded like four defenceman lol

I don't think enough people consider this. What's Markstrom playing for? Hell, it's in both his and Calgary's best interest not to try overly hard. If he gets injured, it hurts a potential off season move. While the weaker the Flames are as a whole, the better their draft pick.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Thought he was traded, then wasn't and now his team is worse. Probably already focused on the offseason

 

[BKarchitect]

There’s one way to solve this mystery…take the 33 game sample and 10 game sample with deconstructed team and average them out into this thing we call “his season”.

Turns out he’s still 4th in the entire NHL in GSAx.

But sure, you can take a targeted 10 game stretch of McDavid and also make him look pretty ordinary.
