For anyone (like me) who doesn’t like Biz and wishes Buoy would clock him one, I watched and have put some highlights together down below:
* Markstrom and Whitney know each other from the San Antonio Rampage and they used to bet on things (team meals/golf/cards) when they were there together, not hockey obviously. * JM got different messaging from different people. Frustrating for him during the whole ordeal last season. Flames kept him away from media for a couple of weeks. * wears his heart on his sleeve * Trade to Vancouver was the best thing to happen to Markstrom in terms of becoming a complete goalie. Talked about everything he learned and who he learned from in Vancouver and how they helped him build good habits and thanks them for his early success. * Talks about when he was put on waivers and no one picked him up “so nobody wants me for free so this an eye opener here this is not good.” * Talks about importance of having a system as a goalie to fall back on when you’re not feeling at your best. Need a foundation in your game to fall back on. Goalies have their own structures and systems outside of the team systems. How he didn’t have a plan before, but he developed one. * “Everything came really easy in Sweden” – JM – about his time playing there how he thought he was on the top of the world making $2K a month playing goalie and living with his parents and driving a Civic * loves soccer, comes from a soccer family. **Joked about how he picked goalie because he had size twelve feet as a kid and wasn’t as tall as he is now and in order to hide his humungous feet he decided to don the goalie pads.** * he has A LOT of stories, its almost worth watching just for his stories. He talked about the rollercoaster that was his draft. fire alarm going off at 3AM. * **tells this amazing story about getting left on the bus cause he was sleeping in a bunk behind some curtains ending up in a Greyhound parking depot on Sunday everythings closed and he needs to climb a barbed wire fence to get out and calls a taxi to get to the game on time** * talks about Finnish goalies v Swedish goalies and how it comes in waves: US/Canada then Finns then Swedes then Russians and now its back to Finnish goalies being at the forefront. shouts out the Swedish goalie from Minnesota. * talked about a goalie fight he won but how its not on his bucket list right now. Whit and Biz talk about how Markstrom should take on Rempe. “we got guys on the team who are here for that” * has met Keefe at the rink and spoken to him. thinks Bratter will give him the toughest shot in practice, but hasnt seen Jack and some of the others yet * ***NAMED HIS SON AFTER A FAMOUS SWEDISH BANK ROBBER*** * **talks about importance of chemistry with the D and the goalie: “Ill ask Luke what he wants and just get in line and do what he wants”** * praises Quinn Hughes as well, talks about Jim Hughes telling him Luke is the best out of all the three. * Pasha asks about Jack taking shots off goalie helmets etc, has a really fun good natured response about it. * ends it by talking about Johnny Gaudreau.
TLDR: I want him to be the Amanda Stein interview at Sweep the Deck. I love him already. He’s so funny. SO funny. Such a vibrant and great personality. I’m so endeared.
