And was pretty darn good
TBH to me it was less about Wolf playing a back to back in general - which I think is fine every once in a while.

I do question the timing of it.

To put him in a back to back, on the road, in the first two games of the season, and in a stretch of 3 games in 66 hours with travel between all three games seemed panicky to me.

If you have that little faith in Cooley then it was a failure of management to not address the backup position when lots of more proven backups were floating around waivers.

And in the end he didn't seem as sharp last night, and that contributed to the loss, so I think it's fair to question the decision.
