I don't agree. While Keetley has made some crazy saves in the last month or so, he is really awkward in net, and will often give up a stinker. Irving is better in most aspects of the game, but the team in front of them is just plain brutal. They have really slumped badly this month, and it's amusing because it is the same with the big club (well, maybe not that amusing). Keetley definitely doesnt look as bad as last year, but Irving is definitely the better goalie.
The heat has some serious issues with scoring (hello, Flames!), and often get run around in their zone when under alot of pressure.
