Can't give the reigning Stanley cup champions that many grade A saves. At that rate a goal was going in eventually, not sure u can fault Wolf there.

That's true. I really hope they find a home for Vlad and Markstrom/Wolf run with it soon, though. It's fun watching him.
They'll be a bottom 5 team regardless once they lose Tanev and Hanifin and Lindholm. Hope this team stops stifling him, he's ready for NHL minutes.
Vegas is effortless at transitioning the puck. Reminds me of when Calgary was good.

Regardless of Wolf getting lit up for awhile w shooting gallery A1 chances, I don't really think his confidence will decrease. Kid is the goods. He knows it too. I haven't been this excited for a tendie since Kiprusoff came out of left field (somewhat considering the atrocious year he was having and losing the backup role to Toskala).
And I was only excited then after he transformed into prime Hasek/Roy/Brodeur after we traded a 2nd for him (Vlasic Pickles).
Wolf we all hoped would keep showing us his crazy talent despite just being a 7th rounder as a relative midget weighing 12 lbs soaking wet.
He's ready to be a backup imo. Hell I think he could be a starter , but that's a lot of hockey and a lot of goals against to throw at him at 22 (despite me thinking he could handle it) and the Flames will want him to learn under Marky for awhile.

Setting up the play?
Greer taking Mangi's spot so we can play at even strength for a while.
Hmmm. Feels like there's been more giveaways than what Sportsnet says. I may be crazy, though.

Crazy good period on a b2b, although sans 3-4 Wolf insanity saves we'd be singing a diff tune. 15-15 shots @ Vegas though isn't bad at all. Curious how we come out in the second.
I'll vocalize my one hope, and it's that somehow his size can be upped a little - slight legal equipment modifications, a high protein regime. As much as he seems always ready to compete, is focused and in position, just really hope being on the small side doesn't hold him back from being elite at this level.
I have 0 standards nowadays. If he try hard I’m happy ngl. Piss and vinegar me is dead lol. Probably for the best too

How on earth can they possibly justify sending this kid back to the AHL once Markstrom comes back? Better to send Vladar down if they can't find a trade partner.

Absolutely. I would have him and Marky split starts like 45-35 next season. Although there's quite a few contenders that may be looking for a goalie at the deadline this year, it'd be tempting if they offered something good for Markstrom.
I've watched a lot of Wolf and I'm convinced. I would rather the team let him have his own personal goalie coach than Sigalet or Labarbera tho.
