I haven't seen it brought up in the thread yet, but Irving made a gigantic save last night when the game was 1-0, robbing Jagr on a point blank chance. Flames go back down the ice and score to make it 2-0. Dallas' 3rd goal was soft, but don't forget that Cervenka passed him the puck when he wasn't expecting it.

He's not a stick of wood back there... he makes some saves. Just not enough of them. Teams are going to get chances. The goalie needs to be able to stop the majority of them.
