Jack Campbell enters player assistance program

[Menzinger]

See s like such a nice guy. Really hope he pulls through this

makes room to put husso in the minors

 

[Rubi]

What's your real name, Rubi? Seems like a reasonable ask to me.

Yes it does. I'll give you a clue...

 

[canuckslover10]

Lol everyone pulling for him now as if they weren't tormenting him for the past year absolutely pathetic.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

It's nice to see that entering this program is becoming more common.
Not in the wishing these problems on them, but in them using this and getting help when they have them.

Get better Jack, I'm cheering for you again.

Ya, complicated now, but we’ve improved from Kevin Stevens bouncing his unconscious face off the ice and saying “nah, it’s fine, I’ll numb it with stuff!” I also think the mental toll on NHLers might be more than that for most sports- sounds silly, but given the duration and intensity it’s up there. And that’s focused even more for goalies, so no wonder they’re seemingly seeking help more than most.

What exactly is he hoping to fix by entering the Players Assistance Program? Excuse my ignorance. I haven't been following the Soup saga very closely for the past couple of years.

I agree with you. All I'm asking is if he's made public whatever issue he's having. Seems like a reasonable ask to me.

Dude, that wasn’t your original question. What a weird thing to twist your own words over- you came at it all aggressive, you coulda worded it “do we know what the problem is?”, don’t act dumb. What exactly are you trying to accomplish here?

 

[ItWasJustified]

Can someone tell me a player who entered the PAP and actually have a long productive career after? Cause I feel like every player I think of that was the beginning of the end, bobby ryan, carey price, Kuznetsov…

I don't think, and Panthers fans hope that it was not the beginning of the end for Spencer Knight.

This is my #1 struggle and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, it's crippled my life

Okaaaayy...

I love how Soup is his nickname.

Get well Jack

Do you really think it’s reasonable?

Well I thought I did. Maybe it isn't? I didn't mean to offend.

me too, but I tried cognitive behavioral therapy and it helped. I used to be my own worst enemy where I was soo worried that I was going to have a panic attack that the relentless self checks would inevitably snowball into a panic attack. The CBT taught me to go with the flow more and in turn I have way less attacks now. I still get them but I'm not doing it to myself almost every day like before

Nobody knows except for him his family and probably his agent. Its none of our business. Was hoping this thread would go ignorance free.. welp!

Take all the time you need Jack!

It Isnt! Simple.

While supposedly a nice man, Campbell is a mess - and makes a mess of every organization he is apart of.

Probably not the place to debate a moron like you but answer me this, how shit must an organisation be if one man can make a mess of it?

I know it probably makes you feel a little bit better about yourself but f***ing grow up.

Glad it helped. I haven't been so lucky. I generally manage not to have an external panic attack, except when I am outside... but internal attacks are still several times a day sometimes.

No f*cking sh*t.
Thanks for missing my point.
But in case you're dense, billionaires are an abomination.
Still human. Just know the scale.

In case your a moron just stfu and move on

Hey. A thread about a player seeking help. I should use it to fight with people like they're my bitter enemy.

 

[centipede2233]

I’m afraid when a player enters the PAP it’s the beginning of the end.

 

[JPT]

I’m afraid when a player enters the PAP it’s the beginning of the end.

And it may very well be the beginning of the end for a player's career, but that's not really what the focus should be. The point of getting help is to have a better life going forward, not to get back out to entertain folks. If the player can get back to playing high level hockey, great, but maybe that isn't the healthiest thing for them.

 

[PaulD]

I think people tend not to think of players as human, or think that getting paid millions shields you from everything.
I don't know why Campbell is in the PAP, but the stress of underperforming and seeing the criticism would certainly put many of us there.

Soup will pull this off. Reaching out the biggest step.

and only the nieve and the grade schoolers "tend not to think of players as human".

It’s a little perplexing that he signs a contract with Detroit and 3 months later a week before the season starts he enters the PAP. So his issue developed sometime in the last 3 months? I mean if a company hired me for a year on a set salary of 100 k and the day before I start my year long contract I enter their employee assistance program and still get paid, I don’t think the company would be too thrilled…

Dang, hopefully Jack can get better and overcome his issues

I may be misremembering, but I thinj he had past substance/alcohol issues in Dallas which hurt him and caused his NHL debut and play to be pushed back a few years.

I mean a quick google and you can find that he dealt with mental issues back then from not hitting expectations
