I don't think this changes anything but he may have to get more accustomed to playing under the spotlight if in fact it was a case of nerves.
I think this is the difference with a lot of goalies. Can they stand up to the limelight of the NHL and other high stress situations? McElhinney, despite great stats in the AHL had trouble transferring this to the NHL. Irving seemed to handle the pressure better, at least at first. Gillies is still very young though and is still very promising.
