Irving wasn't the reason the flames lost on saturday. You can argue how bad he is and how soft the goals were, but the team in front of him that decided to not show up were why they lost.
Irving is by no means Kiprusoff, but he is a decent goalie. He can get you a win if the whole team actually makes an effort and does not leave him to dry. However, to expect him to be able to win for a team that plays majority of the game in their own end is unreasonable.
It's not like he killed any flames momentum by letting in those goals. The flames had zero momentum all night and let the canucks use irving as shooting practice.
