Irving shows some good signs but overall he is just average, stops some pucks. Has some bad angles, sometimes sits back too far in the net. Other times is slow getting across with shots coming out off the boards on the other sides. He has been guilty of that a number of times but the opposition has fanned. Irving seems real jittery at times like unsure of himself maybe.
Nothing special, will Irving get better with more games under his belt im sure he will but he is limited in how good he can be and will reside in the NHL or AHL as a backup.
Its no slam on the kid he is what he is.
There is nothing that wows me about Irving. Nothing that says man am i every glad Sutter picked him in the first round.
Just save some pucks, hopefully we win more than lose and Kipper can't come back soon enough regardless which backup is our temp starter.
