2nd goal wasn't pretty for Campbell tonight, but the Leafs won't lose many games if hes putting up a sv% like that.

He looks like the real deal.....

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

2 goals allowed in his last 3 games?

Love it. Thanks!

 

[IPS]

How could you ever be mad at a face like that?

 

[Leafsfan74]

A couple of misadventures out of the net.

Regardless. Leafs had been 1-6 in the seven games prior to the last two wins.

Take the wins any way possible.

The poor puck handling aside, he was great again with a .935 save %. He's really only beat himself the last 3 games which has been incredible. Amazingly his .935 is a season low in his 5 starts.

Campbell's awesome, just when the puck is not on the stick.

For real, you can get goalied and still win. When the puck wasn't on the stick, he was making saves. Would you be trusting Freddy to make those saves? Probably not.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Continues to be great, had 2 blunders that I doubt happen again. He's the #1 Goaltender for The Toronto Maple Leafs

Tonight Campbell was an amazing goaltender and a not so amazing defender.

 

[29Potvin]

I love having a goalie that actually acknowledges his mistakes and holds himself accountable!

 

[ITM]

Like someone said: 2 goals in 3 games. So he had a little wander. Can't wait for the blue line poke check. Shades of Palmateer. Soupy's a beauty.

Campbell just brings such a calm presence to the crease. He's not flashy, but he's always in great position and makes tough saves look easy as a result.

Give an opponent the puck behind the net and compare andersen’s movements and campbell’s movements. It says a lot.

Andersen in a panic with his head on a swivel and his body movement trying to predict which way the play goes.

Campbell holding still and calm with the player in the corner of his eye, then moves when the play does.

Campbell made a couple of bad mistakes, but I liked that he kept battling and didn't crumble after those mistakes and he helped keep the team in the game and allowed them to eventually get the win.

If he can keep doing that and not fall apart like Andersen so often does then there's no reason why the Leafs shouldn't keep playing him as long as he's doing well. Freddie has been given plenty of chances even when he was playing like crap and Campbell should be given the same opportunity to play a good stretch of games where even if he has a night or two off he should still keep going and see if he can't play through it.

Right now I definitely feel much better with Jack in net than I ever have with Freddie there.

2 bad decisions/brain-farts, he played well otherwise & at least he competed and didn't let those goals get to him; my confidence has risen. Let's hope he can string together some more wins, & good performances down the stretch here.

These last 2 wins would have been losses with Andersen in net.

Key save is all that mattered. He made blunders, but he never lost.

 

[TMLeafer]

It's nice when a bad goal/bad decision doesn't cause the rest of your game to come crumbling down.

 

[Mr_Fun]

His decisions to play the puck weren't the issue; his execution did him in on both plays. Regardless, he still had a good night. Probably gets another SO had without those handling bloopers.

 

[Le Cobra]

I’m getting Cujo Belfour vibes from this guy. They also used to also be shaky with their puck handling but would otherwise be solid stopping all other shots and would more than make up for their misplays .

The whole team spirit (as well as this fanbase) has gone into a higher echelon in terms of compete level and motivation- it’s like that scene in Goon/Major League when all the individual players come together as a harmonious core. I am feeling very positive for our postseason chances with Campbell in net!

 

[Gallagbi]

It's nice when a bad goal/bad decision doesn't cause the rest of your game to come crumbling down.

Had a few opportunities after both goals to crumble too, but battled through some saves.

There were a few times tonight (both ways) where I thought to myself these pucks were going in on us the past few weeks.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Fixing Campbell's mistakes tonight is pretty straight forward, communicate better or keep him in the net.

What do you do to fix Andersen's five hole, body language, and confidence issues? You can't stop teams from taking point shots.
