The timing of his goals are terrible including the one in columbus.
and yes they were. Flames kill off that PP against the Canucks and it's a different game. He doesn't let in that weak tying goal 20 seconds after Cevenka puts up his first and we blow out Columbus that nite.

I agree with this. Teams with confidence in their goalie play with confidence and swagger. It's no coincidence that the team fails to show-up when they have an AHL back-up. The past 3 games were Irving's chance and he didn't make good on it.
His rebound control has been terrible. He sits way too far back in his net to play the angles and his lateral movement isn't fast enough to make up for it.
It sucks, because he seems like the kind of guy you want to root for, but we have to be honest with ourselves.
