Irving can't hack the AHL yet. Age has nothing to do with it. He loses the starting job every single year and yet, somehow, for no reason, you assume he's a better goalie than the guys who have outplayed him statistically and otherwise for the past two plus seasons at least?
Would someone in this forum for the love of god please explain the love for this failure of a first round draft pick? He only has a contract because of the optics. And you know their relationship is wearing thin, he's talked about going to Russia the past two summers.
I would like Irving if there was a reason to like him. But he is a medium AHL goalie at this stage of his career, and he's about to get lit up like a Christmas tree for all to see.
