It really felt like this game would be an automatic loss going in. The on-ice play basically agreed with it. However, the Wolf disagreed. Pleasantly surprised in this one!

That honestly has been the Flames MO for the last 50 years.

Ok but with respect they were owned in their own end for 95% of the game and Wolf was incredible.

Wolf 38/39.

He's worth the price of admission, just like Gaudreau was.

Jets get to see what it's like on the other side of elite goaltending tonight. Suck it!

Well after an off game this is exactly how an elite level goaltender bounces back. Dustin...Winston...call the Wolf when you need to settle the sh** .

I mean, normally I would point out that beating the teams we should lose to, while losing to the teams we should beat is literally The Flames Way... this season, I would just say our outcomes are 100% linked to our goaltending.

We don't have the firepower to outscore poor goaltending, so we go as Wolf/Vladar go.

Push for WC2, let the Oilers win the West, face them in round 1 and unleash Wolf who they haven't played yet. Flames ruin their Cup run. McDavid tells the team he won't re-sign and is traded. Edmonton is underwater from fanboy tears.

Give it to me.

One of Kipper's best features was that he very rarely had a bad game. One of his other best features was how incredible he played in his next game after a bad one.

I see a lot of that in Wolf this season. Saw a lot of it towards the end of last season too, although I had to squint a bit first.

Whether fans like it or not I feel the Flames are going to have to build it up around Wolf. He is too good for a bottom 5 finish.
