On hour 2 of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Aaron Vickers break down Dustin Wolf’s standout season and his growing case as the Flames’ most valuable player. Kevin Woodley of InGoal Magazine joins the show to discuss how rare it is for a 23-year-old to perform at this level, recent goalie comparables, and Logan Thompson’s new contract in Vegas. The guys also check in on goaltending situations around the league, including Vancouver, Washington, and Detroit.
