Confidence goes a long way at 24......if the entire fan base was made up of Calgarypuckers he'd have shot himself already.
filling in for Kipper is no small feat for any goalie .....Irving is just another goalie in a long list of recent goalies who've failed to reach the lofty expectations set upon him.
A few more starts and his confidence levels will rise which in turn will help him settle down, control rebounds , deflect shots and become more of a Velcro goalie.
he'll be fine but whose to say he will get that opportunity....nobody else has.
