I see that. A goaltender's willingness to charge out of net generally an indicator of their confidence. Irving seems a bit deflated after getting shot up in the shootout by NHL veterans.
This is mostly an experience thing. A 24 year old goalie isn't experienced and will take those sorts of experiences worse than a 30 year old. Plus, we're pretty spoiled by Kiprusoff being the same player pretty much every game for many years, only falling apart in this recently.
