Tribute Jack Campbell Discussion Part 2

[Nylander88]

Hope Soupy bounces back. Mrazek certainly isn't the answer. We need changes on the back-end too. Individually we have some good players, but as a unit, it's just no good. Also, with what we have... Muzzin-Holl fell off a cliff. Make your bottom pairings Muzzin-Liljegren & Sandin-Holl... I have no idea why Keefe is waiting so long hoping Muzzin-Holl find their game again

 

[Bluelines]

Ovechkin. I should have said Ilya Ovechkin haha.

LOl , OK I totally missed that , you were playing on Mik's hot streak.

 

[marquee]

That's an excuse the ass kissers would make.

The answer is he's garbage right now that's it.

It's not the schedule or the defense it's him.

You have a funny definition for hit garbage. This fan base is very critical as if there’s been elite tenders in this market for decades.

Jack last year and into this season is the best I’ve seen since Balfour,

If you look at Campbell's game log for the past two months, it kind of reads like a elite NHL sometimes and sub NHLer another. The erratic opinions reflect the erratic play.

 

[BertCorbeau]

The leash Campbell earned after his torrid hot start is more than gone at this point.

Goaltending is a legit question mark with this team.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I think we basically have to pull a Carolina in the off season. Let Jack go...do whatever has to be done to get rid of Mrazek and try again.

 

[2 Slick]

Campbell is toast, I don't know what else to say. .888% and over 3 GAA since December 1st. He's trash. Mrazek is just as bad.

My excitement for the playoffs is zero now.

 

[Racer88]

Send him to the Marlies

 

[Wendelstache]

Campbell's current form will equal an early playoff exit.

 

[Smif]

He looks small in net all of a sudden. Crouching down too low.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

lol

 

[2 Slick]

I'm sure he'll whine in the post-game interview again. Good riddance.

 

[67leafs]

What’s happened to Soup.

 

[Lemontree]

Well, he is better than Mrazek. Yet, not nearly consistent enough quality goaltending to believe he can start for a team that is supposedly a contender.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Too bad his Cinderella run is over. Would’ve been nice if he could’ve channeled his magic during games 5 through 7 of round one last year. The Soup’s gone cold.

 

[Leafidelity]

If they want to sign Campbell as a 1b/backup next year thats fine, but we need someone else. If they planned on running a platoon with Mrazek, that was a big mistake.

 

[jimmycarter]

He stinks

 

[Stephen]

The reasonable hockey observer likes to say, Campbell's never going to be the .940 SV% goalie from early in the season, and he's clearly not as bad as an .880 SV%. The real Jack is somewhere in between.

But is that actually true? Maybe he actually is a .940 SV% and a .880 SV%, high reward, high failure guy and the lack of middle ground is why you can't trust him.

Big time. Thankfully Dubas did not sign him. Let him walk.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Jack Campbell was never my friend

Yeah, he’s gotta go.

I think Jack is exactly both the .940 SV% goalie and the .880 SV% goalie. Workload and pressure clearly get to him really badly and he gets in his head a lot.

At the beginning of the season he was having fun and feeling it. Now you can see he's got the weight of the world on his shoulder, is getting burnt out, and his play is taking a nose dive.

People used to complain about Andersen's consistency, but Jack is 100% worse with the same problem.

This is when you'd want a competent backup to take off some of the pressure, get the team back into its winning ways, and then let Jack gain confident.

But we have Mrazek...

2 weeks ago I was optimistic his middle would be a solid .92, but now I'm thinking he's just another Reimer. Can get you that one season of amazing peripherals but overall it's just a stop gap goalie.

Well, someone crunched the math a month ago on InGoal magazine podcast. They said for Campbell to go from a .940 to .920 at seasons end would be a natural evening out. But the problem is you’d need a lot of .800’s games for that to happen and it would be a bumpy ride. So far the goalie experts have called it.

He does seem like a Reimer level goalie lately. Can’t carry a starting load and leaves open a lot of debates about whether it’s his fault or the defense. Can look spectacular and disastrous in the same game. But it’s a signature mark of a goalie and D corps that just doesn’t have comfort in each other. Classic Reimer stuff.
