So who starts tonight? I can't imagine it's Irving as he's just been thrown under the bus.

St. Louis' Kris Russell appears to be a healthy scratch again.
St.Louis and Calgary trading just makes too much sense for them to be such silent partners right now.
If this is part of a trade, which I don't think it is, I'd be looking at Russell.

Cammalleri is on the ice right now. IR just for cap relief and roster spot. He'll play Wednesday but a sacrifice for tonight. Frustrating.

Yup... That makes what? 2 First Rounders that are still playing for the team in the last 15 years? 3 or 4 that are still in the NHL?
It's going to be a long decade.

Frustrating that a $6million dollar guy is a "healthy" scratch because he has been underperforming, ya.

Irving looked shaky as hell Saturday, no wonder they're looking to upgrade.
Irving is done with the flames.

really disappointed for Irving here, guy was never really given an opportunity at the NHL level. Been in the system for years and finally gets his chance to show what he can do and 2 games later pretty much gets dumped.
The Flames aren't doing anything this year, you might as well roll with it and make the decision after the season.
The more I think about it the more it frustrates me that the forwards are in no way held accountable, I'm looking at you Comeau, yet the goaltenders are in and out like Johns with a hooker.

Looks like the Flames brass has no confidence in Irving.
It's a shame because he was arguably the best player for us on Saturday night. I think Leland Irving is done as a Calgary Flame.

I think he'll likely be a throw-in as a part of a larger trade

Awesome, way to show faith in your young players.
Even if Macdonald is an upgrade over Irving or Taylor, it's the slightest and most inconsequential upgrade that won't make a difference between playoffs and no playoffs. All you've done is shown that your meritocracy spiel is bs and you've filled up another contract spot. yAY
This was the perfectt opportunity to see what you have with Irving and Taylor. If you had such little faith in Taylor, why bother signing him?

I'll also wager that if and when Kipper comes back he'll play in every single game. They can call it an upgrade.
Ask yourself.
Why would you burn a contract on a backup goalie that you know will start a maximum of 2-3 games if that...

Agree with your post. Answer to your question is we needed 2 goalies in the lineup.

Flames saw what they had in Irving: not much.
Taylor's an ahl goalie, can't expect to ride him.
MacDonald is an NHL goalie with zero acquisition cost that fills multiple needs. We need a starting goalie now and we'll need a backup goalie when kipper returns.
Irving is neither of those.

Why? Anyone who can take off the homer glasses would see how nervous he is every game. and how bad his rebounding control is.
Irving was never a NHL goalie. and given his opportunities he has showed in 1 game that he was capable. Last year against the Canucks. Still he did beat the Canucks so i'm glad he got paid big time for his 3 weeks with us.
But come on. He won the job against Karlson in a scrimmage.... hahaha
