The question is not whether Wolf is performed to everyone's expectations or not but the Flames success this season may well be attributed to several other factors even though both goalies are pretty damn good:
1) Huska's defensive style has been effective
2) Defensively, the Flames have been doing well (hence the low opposition scores).
3) Kadri, Huberdeau and Coronato have been clutch players this year and the reliance of defensive plays (and the lack of half the time) shows on the score sheets.
It's not surprising the Flames sits right smack dab in the middle of the league standing at the moment. Having good goaltending is one thing but the team in front of the goalies have 98% of that success or failure. The question one should dare to ask would be to build around a franchise goalie and sacrifice scoring or build around a franchise star center and some good d-men.
