All of the non-Flames fans I've talked to today who saw the game last night on TSN are telling me how bad he looked.
He's a first round pick and a relatively young guy so Flames fans are optimistic but I really doubt anyone will make a move on Irving if he goes on waivers again when Kipper comes back.
EDIT: I should add that the Flames org is at fault for some his lack of development. I know the other goalies outplayed him on the Heat but the goal should be to develop guys who are under contract.

How do you know it will be Irving on waivers? I am not saying he is a great goaltender, but posters that think MacDonald is the real deal as a backup better lower their expectations.
