Just remember, this guy was the 17 year old kid who wasn't supposed to play then stepped in during the elimination games to steal the gold medal for USA at the WJC. He's got that DNA in him to step up. Plus when it seemed like his NHL dreams were likely done he pulled it together and is now starting for the biggest NHL franchise in the playoffs. Campbell is a fighterI wish nothing but the best for this guy and he's been as solid as you could ask for. I absolutely hope it continues and he brings us to the promised land.
Not sure if it's the PTSD from past Leaf choke jobs or if it's his movement that makes me wonder how sustainable his play is though.
I hope he cracks the egg over my head with his continued excellent play, and potentially outduels another previous vezina winner.
Please don't hurt me, Jack.

Anyone else wonder how many Vezina ballots Jack Campbell's name will be on? Not that he'll win but I wonder how many 4th/5th place votes he'll get.
As far as I remember, ballots didn't have to be submitted till the end of the 1st round, and although it's supposed to be based on the regular season, these playoffs could definitely have an impact
Price is an overated has been.I purposely didn't get involved with the whole anointing this guy as the 2nd coming, as seemingly this whole fan base has done over the past few days, because to me the jury is still out. He's played very solidly in this series but really hasn't been tested the way Price has with regards to dangerous scoring chances. His shutout was as 'easy' as a shutout as you can get facing that many shots. Tonight he wasn't great at all. Obviously it doesn't negate his great play all series but he has a long way to go still IMO to prove he's our future number one. Hoping he comes out more focused and sharp Sat night to close this thing out.

Do you want to see Dubas fired?If Jack lays an egg tomorrow night, does Freddie start game 7?
No, but I’d be interested to see what’d happen. But that would be After the 10 day internet cut off I’d doDo you want to see Dubas fired?
Campbell played solid yesterday. He is not in any way responsible for the loss.
