Still not sure how I feel about Irving being at the bottom of the goaltending pile.
I'm aware that there are issues regarding the number of pro games he plays, an the whole 'meritocracy' deal, but I'd probably be happier with him only having to outplay ONE goalie to get ice time, rather than needing to outplay two vets with whom the coach is clearly comfortable and possibly more willing to give the benefit of the doubt.
But I'm also very impressed with Troy Ward in basically every other respect. And starting goalies are getting easier to come by these days.
