What stage of grief are we at with the Pooberdeau contract
Personally I've accepted that he's terrible and going to be here a long time. Some still seem to be at denial or bargaining.
What stage of grief are we at with the Pooberdeau contract
Isn’t he an inch shorter than Kiprusoff?He will be a great tank commander in 2025!
People dislike these kind of comments but it's just being honest. His size will be his career biggest detriment. I don't see him being great at this level but he will be another tanking soldier next year. Check goals scored against him, the number is HUGE and they don't lie!

You’re sceptical it’s like wrestling where Wolf is actually 5’3?At the height's they're listed at? Yes. In reality? I have no idea.

And yet… Wolf’s numbers are significantly better than Markstrom’s since the Hanifin and Tanev tradesHe will be a great tank commander in 2025!

He hasn't stood out really, has he?And yet… Wolf’s numbers are significantly better than Markstrom’s since the Hanifin and Tanev trades
He has a career .900 sv% playing on one of the worst defensive teams in the league. It’s a 15 game sample size. The average save percentage this year is 904 and most goalies don’t have to play in front of the Flames disaster of a defense.
I mean one of them is mentally golfing like all of our vets have been since the deadline, and probably still a bit pissed about the trade rumors, while the other is fighting for his life to prove he’s NHLer. Wolf isn’t in the same stratosphere of what we’ve seen from Markstrom throughout the year.And yet… Wolf’s numbers are significantly better than Markstrom’s since the Hanifin and Tanev trades

It’s not an itch it’s 10.5 million and Coleman laps this softie. Occasionally he does look good (1/10 games)Huberdeau has been our most consistent scorer sans Kadri for the entirety of 2024 yet people still see his name and need to scratch that itch. But don’t you dare mention Zary has 11 points in his last 28 games…
We have 19M in cap space next season and an additional ~20M the season after. His cap hit isn’t even slightly effecting the team in the near future, a sub set of people just want to vocally hate him. Which is remarkable considering him looking good 1 in every 10 games is still looking like our 2nd best offensive threat since the calendar flipped.It’s not an itch it’s 10.5 million and Coleman laps this softie.

His first 13 games Markstrom had an .893 this season. That was with Tanev and Hanifin. He had an .892 the whole season previously. “Farce”I mean one of them is mentally golfing like all of our vets have been since the deadline, and probably still a bit pissed about the trade rumors, while the other is fighting for his life to prove he’s NHLer.

That’s also ok, because once again he’s the youngest goalie in the NHL currently again. In the age curve he’s roughly equivalent to a 19 year old forward prospect. Just as widely inaccurate as it is to say his play this year is concerning for his development, trying to compare him to Markstrom is just a farce.
Yes the first 13 games of the season he had an .893. When the team completely fumbled out of the gate. I’m sure it’s just pure coincidence you chose to end at that point though, because I would definitely bet Markstrom didn’t have an .917 and a 2.52 GAA from then until the deadline, or a 1 goal in 35 shot performance his very next start after your chosen deadline. Yea those 13 games though, that was the goalie Markstrom currently is.His first 13 games Markstrom had an .893 this season. That was with Tanev and Hanifin.

How am I cherry picking data?Yes the first 13 games of the season he had an .893. When the team completely fumbled out of the gate. I’m sure it’s just pure coincidence you chose to end at that point though, because I would definitely bet Markstrom didn’t have an .917 and a 2.52 GAA from then until the deadline, or a 1 goal in 35 shot performance his very next start after your chosen deadline. Yea those 13 games though, that was the goalie Markstrom currently is.
Here’s a month by month comparison if you’d actually like to compare:
October:
Markstrom •.901, 2.88
Wolf •DNP
November
Markstrom •.894, 2.98
Wolf •.895, 4.02
December
Markstrom •.921, 2.20
Wolf •.891, 3.81
January
Markstrom •.931, 2.27
Wolf •DNP
February
Markstrom •.921, 2.41
Wolf •.806, 6.00
March
Markstrom •.874, 3.34
Wolf •.912, 2.49
Or if we’d like to go into the advanced metrics, Markstrom is 8 out of 96 in GSAE, whereas Wolf is 90 of 96.
So yes, suggesting Wolf is currently in the same realm as Markstrom is a farce, and if you have to cherry pick data so hard to say otherwise it speaks volumes. Why don’t you just accept already Wolf is a very special goalie prospect, but he still has leaps and bounds to make before he reaches his potential?
