Really impressive stuff.

Compare that to Askarov
92 GP
56-29-15
.608 Win percentage
.911 SVP / 2.55 GAA
Goalie of the year x1

Wallstedt
83 GP
40-34-12
.482 win percentage
.909 SVP / 2.69 GAA

Wild and Predator fans should be excited (well maybe not Predator fans since Askorov looks like he may be moved after the Saros extension) and so should Flames fans.

Even in the NHL under very difficult circumstances (inconsistent NHL appearances and then consistent appearances for a gutted team), Wolf has 8 wins in 16 starts.

I'm a big believer in him and think he'll figure the NHL quicker than it figures him out.

And that is exactly the opposite of me.

He simply cannot get bigger, and that is what has been his issue when he was getting shelled at times.

He does every single thing well that you want from that position...other than the one thing he cannot control.

I hope i am 100% wrong, and am really cheering for the guy as both a fan of the Flames and what his story is and has been.
