Dubas does not get enough credit for plucking this guy with pedigree out of LA.

Maybe L A just did him a solid, they knew he was good but he wouldn't usurp Quick for the starters position. So they sent him east where he had a chance to be a number 1.

Having said that, maybe even L A didn't think he was THIS GOOD.
 
the pattern continues

guys on this forum were crying when Reimer was gone. even years later guys here were still loving him and yearning his return

then Andersen had his fanboys in here... and again more tears when he left

and now here we go with Campbell. Guys here are falling in love with another leaf goalie lol

one thing in common with all 3 goalies is that they all exhibit somewhat of a softer, quiet and gentle personality. Wonder if that has anything to do with all the love

either way, Campbell is off to a hot start on the season. we're just 17 games in though - yet somehow this guy is deserving of a 6 year deal???

it's hard to believe how quick people jump into things before even thinking or giving proper time to evaluate. The season is less than 1/4 young... but everyone's jumping on the bandwagon as they always do when a leaf goalie has a solid 10-game streak lol

he's playing great but wow, it isn't even remotely close to a proper sample size to begin considering 6 year deals

but hey keep jumping the gun, it's clear very few people think before they act

I definitely feel like that was part of it along with them having goalies in the system

Definitely too small of a sample size to discuss long term contracts but he's looking very good.

Over the past 2 seasons (not just this year as you would imply) with a minimum of 30 GP he leads all NHL goalies in save % and all NHL goalies in GAA and sits 6th in SO.

Yes, people have liked them (especially Reimer and Campbell) because of their meek and humble personalities. It's a big part of why Johnny Bower was always considered not only one of the Leafs greatest icons but one of the NHL's (not just by fans but players themselves).
 
Campbell in line for a huge pay day. Figure it out Dubas and get this guy locked up ASAP. Can't afford to lose this guy due to cap issues.
 
Hes most def in the vezina talks right now. Give Petruzelli some games here though so he doesn't tire out.
 
So looking forward to not seeing the typically bad Anderson December on the leafs. I bet we see that on Carolina this year.

Looks like last year's storybook run and this year's start are lining up perfectly with his pre-draft potential hype.

This needs to be stickied because there's a gap in comments that forget where Campbell came from: His run pre-draft was legendary and it was justified. A couple of developmental hiccups (in Dallas) and the tasks of taking over nets owned by Kari Lehtonen and Jonathan Quick were legitimate Herculean labors.

But Jack Campbell didn't come out of nowhere. He had to be remembered for what he was and for what he might still be. For the sake of measured responses, let's assume Dubas didn't think he'd be this good. But with Campbell's pedigree, it's not unreasonable to think it wasn't in the back of Dubas' mind that he might still be.

In 41 games as a Maple Leaf, Jack Campbell is 29 - 8 - 4.

Here's hoping that a lot of people's faith is being rewarded.

For his career with LA he posted a 2.51GAA and .918sv%, pretty good, he just never did it as a starter.

Quick over the same time period posted a 2.75GAA and .907sv%
