Phillips at 5'6? Yes, that's tiny and about 7 inches smaller than the NHL average. But Wolf is much closer to average, even for goalies, which have an NHL average of 6'2.5

Numbers wise, this is obviously correct. At 6' he isn't "that" small. But, man, does he ever look small. He's listed as taller than Saros, but it just doesn't look like it. I don't know if they are lying about his height or it's because he's so slight still.
I was behind the net at the Canadiens game and it didn't take me long to feel the same way I did for all the years with Kiprusoff. You just get used to him making all saves look easy. It's pretty calming.
