Perfect example is the first goal, Schwartz had the time to make three moves in front of the net yet it was soft on Irving.
People even call the second goal soft yet it was a one time shot from four feet out in the slot.
Yet MacDonald gets beat terribly in the 4th goal and let's in a goal at the worst time on the 5th goal and he is the second coming.
Another case of Flames fans hoping for a player to fail so they can say "I told you so".

I'd say it's more of a case of people wanting to throw away what is old and see what is new. I completely agree with everything you've said though.
Last night Irving didn't get pulled because he let in soft goals. He got pulled to send a message to the team, especially the defense.
