It’s interesting how much we have been comparing Wolf to Kipper this season and now it’s starting to feel like it did with Jipper and his backups. Like you had to play Kipper every game because the backup (no matter who they were) would struggle… and the team would play worse in front of the backup goalie as well. Can’t remember what year but I’m pretty sure there was a calendar year (or maybe even two years) where kipper had every win for the flames. The rare time the flames put in a backup was pretty much an automatic loss.
Not picking on Vladar here. He has been given tough starts exclusively and the team has struggled in front of him. It’s more a comparison of how it felt with Kipper and his his backups and how it feels now with Wolf and Vladar.
