Wolf is also the lightest player on the Flames, about 17 lbs lighter than Mangiapane and Coronato who are 5'10"
But oftentimes lanky goalies do well. Rask is 6'3" and 176 lbs. He has the third highest save percentage of all time. Behind Hasek (Wolf's height and also lanky), Dryden, and just ahead of Bishop (tall and lanky) and Tim Thomas (even shorter than Wolf). Even Saros, 5'11", is 10th all time in save percentage.
If I’m the Flames I’m using Markstrom’s injury as a vhance to figure out what vladar and wolf are. I’d give them a 50/50 rotation. If they both show the can win games at this point I would be openly marketing Markstrom. He’s playing well this year and his capspace would open a lot of options for the Flames to reshape the roster and sign any of the UFAs we might want to keep.
I would say at the start of the season the flames had a surplus on D and in the net. We need to turn that into some skilled wingers. Because that’s where they are extremely light.

Yeah, I was at the Wild game and Mike Vernon was on the ice. Vernon is listed at 5’9”. He looked the same size as Wolf, and Vernon wasn’t wearing skates.
Must've been a perspective thing. Vernon has admitted he's closer to 5'7" than 5'9". Wolf is small, but is at least a few inches taller than Vernon. Probably in the 5'10" range.

The Flames already have a good idea what Vladar is. You play the guy who is playing better and gives you the best chance to win.
If Wolf deserves the next start which he does tomorrow he should get it. But if he doesn't he shouldn't be handed it either. Despite what some people want to happen the team is still trying to win games.

They're going to be light at D and missing a #1 C by the end of this year. Those positions need looking at more than the wings.

Zero interest spending a cent on wingers.
^ with those in mind I would like Sharangovich to start getting draws. I think he would be a good stopgap as a center until we find a more permanent solution. Or he's Lindholm 2.0 and plays better at center.
Literally slept through all of second period and woke up to see them pop in all 3 goals! Man, every game this team wins, it feels great at the end of the game. This is almost like racking up payments with a credit card.

Dustin Wolf is listed at 1.83m or 6ft tall. Yeah, he does look small in net but I think we're used to seeing all these huge goalies that Tre has gotten over the years.
Have you seen how many Torontonians have moved to Calgary? Have you seen how many of them show up to Leafs games at the Dome? They're like a colony of bees defending their honey.
