Kipper always comes back, and if he doesn't all the Kipper haters should be ecstatic, since the majority of them wants us to finish last anyways.
Because goaltenders need to be held accountable too. Perhaps putting Irving in will help the team re-focus defensively and give up slightly lower quality chances against. On the flip side, maybe it pisses Kipper off and gives him a kick in the butt.

Either way giving him a rest should not be out of the question. Irving proved last year he's competent when in the net - he needs to be given a chance.
