1) What kind of cheap bull-**** headshot garbage was that? Screw this guy.
2) When you see a known goon try to headshot your line-mate, and you skate over to him and take exception and give him the business with your stick, you damn well better be ready to tango. If you get popped with your gloves on in this circumstance, take it as a life lesson: don't bark at dogs that bite.
Still looks like a total DB.
We could use someone who's a total DB. As far as hockey teams go, the Flames have been among the nicest in the league since Phaneuf was traded.

Yeah - we really have lacked that "edge" that almost every other good team has since Ville left town.
Part of playing on the edge means sometimes you accidentally step over it - and are held accountable for stepping over it.
...that last video was pretty greasy. Can't imagine Hartley nor McGrattan would condone such actions on our team - and because of that, I believe Wolf would act accordingly.
I don't like the comparisons to McGrattan. McGrattan is tough, but he isn't cheap or dirty. The guy has a lot of respect for his opponents.
I don't know about this Wolf guy. He seems kind of dirty.
Big Ern was not always respected around the league the way he is now. Pretty sure he was one of the bigger pieces of crap in his first few years. A lot has changed for the big man. Maybe being mentored by McGrattan is the best thing that could happen for Wolf?

Anyone else thinking signing a big German directly correlates to the Flames drafting another big German?
Perhaps the German McSorley for the German Gretzky?
Interesting theory, but Burke also gave Wolf a tryout in Toronto before, so he has been on Burke's radar for a while. Probably just a coincidence. Plus, Draisaitl speaks perfect English, so he doesn't need a "German" mentor really.

Just pick up Heatly in the offseason as a UFA, draft Draisitl, bring in Wolf and bring back Carsen, and we'll have almost a full line of German-esque players.
I thought Europeans were supposed to hate fighting? Looked like everyone in the crowd was cheering to me.
I want to see Hartley start this guy next time we play Vancouver just to see Tortorella's reaction.

A myth! Football hooligans should answer that question quite easily.

I meant on the playing surface, not the stands, LOL.
I remember when someone took my neighbors that immigrated from the UK (Liverpool) to a hockey game. They moaned and groaned about the fights on the ice and how terrible it was. I shot back with "yeah, it must have been terrible having to watch the fight rather than actively participating in it".

We need to have "good" dirtbags if we want to win eventually. Back when Chicago first won, they had Burish who would just be a royal pain in the butt every time we'd play them and I'm sure every other team had similar fun with him. Same thing with Boston with Lucic and Marchand. Just annoying players that can throw the opposition off their game.

I agree that Wolf being a jerk is not a bad thing necessarily.
McGrattan is the best at what he does, but outside of when he scared Ribeiro ####less in Phoenix this season (for going after Glencross in a scrum) he does not go after non-fighters in the slightest.
Its what made Tortorella's claim that he was protecting the Sedins even more ridiuclous.
This guy looks like a nutcase and a complete dirtbag. I'm glad he will be playing for us and not someone else in our division!
Based on his rather pedetrian numbers in a 3rd rate league I think it would be the guys in the farm teams division that should be glad.
I understand he would be brought in not for his points but he certainly doesn't seem to bring much to the table at all and surely there is going to be someone who can be a pest and play hockey, at least play hockey better than this guy.
