If this means when Kipper comes back, Irving gets demoted, I'm gonna be pissed...

You're going to be pissed....
This really pisses me off, Irving is finally getting a chance to show his true colors to the NHL and really playing well in his opportunity and now if the Flames can't give him his 25 games, I honestly don't see any reason why he won't walk, and the Flames lose another prospect due to poor prospect management... And why would he stay, he's been nothing but a good goalie for the organization and he is constantly being ****ed around... I just don't understand... I hope he has a fantastic career somewhere...
It's Irving's time to shine.. If he excels than there's no way he gets demoted
Can I see your crystal ball? We won't know for probably at least 2 weeks, if he plays good I can guarantee he won't be demoted.He has played well, and guess what? He is gonna get demoted. Poor management skills shown be the flames.
So essentially Joey Mac is are starting goalie now and Irving is the backup
Then once Kipper is back - Joey Mac goes to backup and Irving back to the third string goalie out in BC in the AHL
Good young asset management Calgary
When was the last time Joey Mac even started a competitive professional hockey game?

Did Feaster say that Mac was starting? Wow.
I could see him starting a game or two if Kipper was out longer then people expect but turning him into a starter would be seriously off the grid - even for the Flames.

2 weeks? Kipper is due back tomorrow and McDonald will be the backup.
Lql feaster stated minimum 2 weeks away.
Yeah, Joey Mac won't be the starter in place of Irving... He hasn't played a game in nearly a year, and Irving has been great. We won't see Kipper until at least the 26th at the earliest, I think, so we have plenty more time to see Irving. If he continues to play the way he has been, I have no doubt he'll be staying with the team.
But after Kipper comes back in two weeks will the team be forced to carry 3 goalies then?
Joey Mac has to stay on the active roster 30 days as he was claimed so you can't send him down.
If Irving continues his awesome play and he beats out Joey Mac for the backup when Kipper comes back - you probably don't want to send him down especially with the fear he might get picked up on waivers.
So I guess the Flames would have to carry 3 goalies for a couple of weeks in this situation? I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world. Although whoever gets sent down is probably not going to be happy as there isn't a lot of room in Abbsortford either.
Should be some competition I guess over the next couple of weeks who is the teams #2 goalie

Just a thought, we do have a compliance buyout so if MacDonald is the odd man out we can just buy him out. Given that we have two and theres not really anyone I can see us buying out, this would be a good idea
Possibly Comeau, if his play doesn't improve. The roster looks awfully crowded when all of our forwards are healthy.
Well his contract is pretty low, and he's off the books at the end of the season
