Up North Guy Verified Member Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Wally looks so incredibly calm and smooth. Having a 1 and a 1A goalie is a real luxury. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago The title asks if The Wall can win the Calder. This sums it up: Wrong Trophy Quote Wallstedt probably won’t win the Calder, but he looks like he can be the goalie on a Stanley Cup-winning team. Right now, I would put Buium ahead of The Wall for our Calder representation. Luke is absolutely right when he talks about games. Hynes has been using him as a true backup, and just lately, he's begun to trust him. I'd love a 47-30 split in games started and think that's good balance to have 2 goalies fresh for playoff play should we get that far. But, we also need to look at this team. Should Rossi (who I've heard has a broken foot) stay out for a long stretch, and Yurov takes off in the top line center role, his point total could put him in the conversation. On defense, we've got Buium who has looked really good, and put up some points. In reality, most of the guys voting for this stuff see the Wild maybe 3 times a year. There's such large market/east coast bias that there's not much of a chance for a Wild player to get it. Kaprizov accomplished it when we played a very condensed schedule including 16 games against LA area teams. Faber came close to accomplishing it but that's about where it stops. If Yurov, The Wall, and Buium all perform really well, our team should do well. But, as for the Calder, they would split the votes. Shaefer is in the NY area. He'll get a lot of press and east coast bias votes. I'd rather just have the last trophy Luke mentioned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCMooch Verified Member Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Well this article guarantees he will go out in his next game and shit the bed. Maybe the Calder front runner on just our team but he hasn’t played near enough games to warrant this discussion. Even Jay night he may have won but I thought at least two of those goals seemed super soft and one was 100% because he didn’t his pad flat against the ice. I’m honestly not trying to be overly negative but Wally is still very young and I don’t want us to set him up to fail or have unrealistic expectations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
