I'm not arguing that it's a different mindset. I'm arguing about your post where you indicate the reson Irving wasn't playing in Abbotsford was because the Flames wanted him to get used to playing very occasionally. I've been wrong before but I have never, ever heard of a team using this ideology with their backup goaltender when assigned to the farm team.
