One of Shania Twain’s famous lyrics is, “That don’t impress me much.”
In a post on social media site X on Monday, Twain was singing a much different tune about Calgary Flames rising-star goaltender Dustin Wolf.
A person shared a photo of Wolf at the Calgary Stampede chuckwagon races in a ‘Let’s Go Girls’ shirt, a reference to a line from another of Twain’s chart-topping hits, and the Canadian country-music icon replied: “He’s the cutest!” She even added a heart-eyes emoji.
Not surprisingly, that post is racking up likes online.
Among the replies, one fan wrote: “A freakin’ great goalie as well!!! #Flames”
Wolf was the runner-up this past season for the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s rookie of the year and nearly backstopped the Flames to a surprise playoff berth.
The 24-year-old netminder has been hanging around the city for most of the off-season and seemingly was swept up in the excitement of the Calgary Stampede, spotted at both the rodeo and chuckwagon races.
Twain was the Stampede parade marshal this year, something that the 59-year-old from Timmins, Ont., described as “a dream of mine for a very long time.”
She also played a concert last Saturday at the Scotiabank Saddledome, where Wolf shines in the goal crease through the winter months.
