Three reasons Kirkland is better than Dudek:
1) Kirkland is more quicker and braver when coming of his line.
2) Kirkland is a more of a presence in goal. Dudek is too small, when Kirkland is in between the posts the goal looks a lot smaller.
3) Kirkland has longer limbs. His arms and legs are a lot longer so he can reach things that look imposible to reach, but beacuse of his slim build he loses none of his agilty.
I think we have a potential great in Kirkland, he is 6 foot 6 inches, and has cat like agility.
Dudek has been inconsistent since he got back into the team. he's form has been eratic to say the least.
It's time to give Kirkland the number 1 jersey.
