I am liking what Irving played so far. Yes there are some instances that he wasn't sharp and fighting the puck but I think he pulls through when the game is on the line. He is our backup goalie and I am very happy that he is giving the Flames a chance to win. Besides there are few goalies that started very well in their early careers. Even Kipper wasn't good when they gave him some starting goalie position in San Jose. Craig Anderson wasn't that good and he was bouncing around from the NHL to AHL and team to team. Flames even drafted this guy. Look at the two of them now, people considered both of them one of the best in the NHL.
I just hope people doesn't expect Irving to play like Kipper at all.
