I think that’s the reason he was drafted so low given his apparent talent.

Yeah cool. But did he look small on the ice and in the net?

He looked like a 6 foot goalie in net...6'1" on skates.

Juuse Saros is shorter than Wolf and is a top 5 goalie in the League. I have no worries about Wolf's size.

Same here. And I actually have more faith in smaller goalies. They've never coasted on size.

Will we see more Wolf on the next Flames trip to the States in a couple of days? Or if Vlader has his COVID testing issue sorted out?

Except the league history is littered with small goalies who just hit the wall at the NHL level. Good small goalies like Saros are very much the exception to the rule.

Sounds like Vladar is good to play.
With Wolf sent down, and no corresponding Werner callup, I'd assume that's the case.

More big goalies make it than small. You can’t seriously argue otherwise.
Anyway, I’m talking about the touted small goalies who are always going to be exceptions. But hardly ever are. Enroth, for example.

LOL - so small goalies work harder? No bias there.

Couldn't possibly be because there are more big goalies in general.

I wonder why?
My point is, there are always stories about up and coming small goalies who are going to be an exception, but it’s really rare for it to happen.

And the only reason for that is that size is an advantage

Hard to find a definitive source but 6'2" - 6'3" is roughly the average for NHL goalies. A short goalie in the NHl today is 5'11" with that in mind 6' is well within reason.
Consistency is the only goalie stat I care for.

Oh, I agree, Wolf isn’t some tiny Pang-like goalie.
I do think the average for starters is edging up.
