Alex Stalock could be here for a while, folks. He looked really solid in his first game with the Wild and first NHL game of the ’16-’17 season. It was not at all surprising to see him come up and play well, and it was equally unsurprising to see the Wild play such a good game in front of him. You could just feel this game coming.
Watching Stalock is a lot of fun, because he’s a total throwback to the early 2000’s. Back then, size was not valued in goaltenders like it is now.
