The last time Jacob Markstrom was beaten by a clean shot it was off the stick of Patrik Laine and he was still a Jet. Following a 32 save shutout Markstrom has found himself as unfortunate as Lemony Snicket. The last five goals against have all been results of ridiculous bounces most of which off his own teammates.
Perhaps the most cliche of all cliches, but it certainly rang true in the first meeting against the Leafs: the Flames just didn’t get the bounces. Peter Loubardias was probably pulling out the onomatopoeia for this one as there were plenty of “doinks” off skates and bodies in this match-up.
