[PGT] Flames lose to Vancouver

[Barnet Flame]

I understand why Wolf was picked for the back to back, but I do think he shouldn’t have still been out there for the final two goals when the game was already lost.

Hi Barnet as a fellow Brit are you getting the pop up on Security every time you click its driving me nuts.

Posting on an iPad if that info helps.

Plenty here have conveniently forgotten the 2008 and 2009 playoffs where his playoff stats started to decline.

Yeah, posting career stats does nothing for this discussion. It was a huge topic of conversation in those years, for good reason.

And if burnout isn't/wasn't a factor, why do people think no goalies play more than 65 games now? The answer is to stay fresh for the playoffs. Period.

Lessons get learned.

Counterpoint: the Flames don't have to worry about playoffs this year

Kipper was 31 in 2008/2009, soooo yes I would not start Wolf back to back to begin the season when he is 31 years old.
