I don't understand all the negativity in this thread. Irving played great tonight. The team as a whole played strong, defensive hockey against another defensive team that tries to exploit every mistake you make. We played it safe and with solid defensive play and goaltending we did exceptional.
We lost in the skills competition on two shots that were some of the best I have ever seen. I don't think any goalie in the NHL would have stopped those two dekes if they had never seen them before. People blaming Irving for letting those in need to give themselves a slap.
