Like, when he's giving up a goal he's not keeping his shoulders up and he's slumping inward or you're mocking me?

I am not mocking you, I may be mocking myself.

I complain when he gives up goals and often blame his size.

But when he’s going good, he looks big enough.

I think we need to forget his size, see how he plays and lets things fall where they fall.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Wolf is a size where his room for error is less than most. So he has to be well calculated and positioned.

Bigger goalies will also miscalculate but the puck is still likely to hit them since their torso/shoulders cover more of the net. They can afford to go down earlier than Wolf can.

[Blaster86]

Something smaller goalies can't get away with is letting their shoulders and upper body slump when they're moving laterally.


It's already difficult save when moving across the crease, but when you're lesser in stature every little bit you're drooping in your posture is more net for NHL calibre shooters to hit.


He seems to drop himself real low when trying to fight through screens, which is something he's going to have to work on.

Hopefully Huska embraces the tank and plays the bottom half of the roster rest of the game lol

Wolf looked OK there.

Is wolf six foot or six one?

He needs to put on muscle. When he's sitting at 190 to 200 lbs in a year or two, he will fill out the pads and look bigger in the net.

He still looked small coming across. The athleticism and ability is hard to deny.

6'
Filling out a bit would help a lot. Going to be working on his core a lot through his career to help keep his shoulders up higher longer.

Coleman is a real man.

I can’t help but like when Zary and Coronato score. Also Kuzmenko, but the rookies scoring is nice.

Christ no.

But in the modern NHL, with the way goalies are taught you're not used to seeing a 5'10 - 6'1 goalie anymore. They're all so athletic now, so the taller ones tend to filter to the top a lot more frequently. Wolf is giving up more net than you're used to seeing and it's very apparent in his lateral movement.

Even I get excited for Kuzy scoring still.
