This is a meaningless game in March. Relax. He's 22. He is developing. Let him develop.
He played 4 full seasons behind Rinne....then was given the net for a bigger role. Thats a recipe for success.


People here seem to want to jettison Markstrom and annoint Wolf the Number 1. That is playing a dangerous game.

I will say this though....would much prefer that Wolf be the fulltime backup ovrer Vladar.

Was Nashville rebuilding those years ?

Plus we only have 2 years of Markstrom left.

To add to what I said - they are just not ready for passes and not anticipating where the puck is going tonight. So they end up looking really slow.

GM's cant do anything about that "loophole"....thats something that has to be collectively bargained with the PA.

That wont happen until 2026.

And do they even want to? Maybe cheaper owners won't like skirting the salary cap, but the big teams all love it.

Just tuned in to see flames down 4-1. Judging by the comments not their best game? Just wanted to say Milano has the best damn hair in the NHL. That is flow.

But the people that want Wolf to fail so they can be "right" will be vocal every chance they get

Mangiapane is a shadow of his former self, it’s pretty crazy how bad he’s gotten / little he cares.

I’m really surprised anyone wants this. Are they big Vladar fans?

Kadri line hasn’t been anywhere near as good tonight as before. Kadri trying to go solo too much, Pospisil fumbling, Huberdeau forcing. And none playing great D.

Need to show McLoser in his gambling commercial. Way more important than a Flames goal. Anderson bleeding from a high stick. Just another missed call.

2 missed calls since the goal and this game should be 4-3. Absolute garbage officiating tonight.
