The knock on Wolf has always been his 6’0 frame — much smaller than the typical modern NHL goalie.
For context, Flames starter Jacob Markstrom stands at a staggering 6’6 and the NHL’s current winningest goalie, Boston’s Linus Ullmark, clocks in at 6’5. But Wranglers development goaltending coach Mackenzie Skapski said Wolf’s focus, hockey IQ and work ethic have made the size conversation a non-issue at this point.“He’s got a lot of unique attributes to his game that makes him far more mature than what he actually is and his game just continues to progress,” Skapski said. “He’s very good at dialling into certain situations and it’s easy to get distracted, especially being in this atmosphere.
“Sizes isn’t an issue until it becomes an issue. So we really don’t put much emphasis on the size. We put emphasis and stopping the puck, and I think he’s doing a good job of that right now and that’s part of his process.” For Wolf, a big part of that process is maintaining his cool, composed demeanour both on the ice and in the long run with the NHL dream getting tantalizingly close.“I think that kind of goes back to, you know, being what’s considered a smaller guy. You’ve kind of got to take as much ice as you can. If you can stay on your feet and be as patient as possible, you’ll make shooters make a decision on how you’re playing and then you’re going to be in a pretty good spot.

Calgary trucker faces homicide charges in U.S. crash that killed student, bus driverKarandeep Singh faces 27 charges, including two counts of homicide by vehicle, reckless driving and operating with unsafe equipment. I don’t get it. He was going too slow and the bus hit him FROM BEHIND and *he* is at fault? Mechanical violations, sure, but homicide? I wonder if the trucking company knew the truck was in bad shape and sent the trucker out with it anyway. People know the issues these truckers face to stay employed.
