Tribute (Jack Campbell is my life) Jack Campbell Extreme Appreciation Thread

Jack Campbell is my life...

 

[Maple Leaf]

He was good but we need a carey price

 

[sparxx87]

I can play the same game.

I think YOU need to re-watch the those marvelous clutch saves he made that kept the Leafs rolling and got them in a f***ing 3-1 series lead, 3-1 series lead that the top forwards could not f***ing close out.

No way anyone can pin this collapse on Jack, there's just no way.

It’s not a game and you sound silly. I like Jack, too.. but there’s no denying he let in 3 and arguably 4 or 5 very soft goals including one a pee-wee would stop in game 7 to break the ice and put his team behind. That can’t go in on an NHL goalie, never mind at that critical moment. (Jack said that was the worst of his career. Given the context, it absolutely has to be up there)

I agree there were much bigger issues, but it’s interesting to see the tone on this board so different than with Freddy Anderson.

 

[sparxx87]

Swims? He’s very technically sound as a goaltender and unlike Freddy doesn’t live on his knees.

he’s also holds an upright position similar to price he doesn’t look small in the crease and is very confident. I dunno which Jack Campbell you’ve watched he’s the best goalie that's come through here in years.

it’s a breath of fresh air not seeing some 6’6 tender sit in the butterfly all game. I’d rather the guy who’s more upright,athletic, good positionally and quiet in net.

Bahahahahahahahaha - from every goalie coach, ever.

If you think Campbell is more technically or fundamentally sound than Anderson you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. It’s not even close.

You just replied to a very good post with thoughtful and accurate analysis and made yourself sound silly. If you need any other confirmation, sticky liked your post.

Get over yourself, even if Freddy was 100% there was no way he was playing over Campbell in this playoffs and that is all there is to know.

 

[egd27]

Fair enough. But I would think that goaltending was the least of the concerns in this series.

I would say the same about the CBJ series, but I'm about to get told differently.

 

[sparxx87]

I wasn’t disputing the circumstances under which the decision was made. (More amateur hour, but that’s besides the point.)

I’m simply speaking to the inconsistency among some with how they choose to evaluate goalie performance in the playoffs. It’s very, very interesting.

Campbell did his job and did it well, not his fault they couldn't close it out in 3 chances.

2 times took them to overtime and we lost both times. That's on the forwards.

And game 3 ZERO goal support.

 

[lottster14]

It is true that Campbell did well and lived up to expectations this playoffs. It is also true that around mid regular season when Campbell went on his run, Andersen was getting unfairly beat to the ground by many fans here. Just completely sh** on.

He also gave up the game 7 softee which we have seen too many times before.

 

[saltming]

Don't think we were watching the same series. The Gallagher goal in Game 7 was a killer but before that we was stellar.

When he tracks the puck through traffic he cheats to the wrong side leaving the short side open and I think that cost us 3 goals at least in the series.
When he hugs the post on his glove side he often leaves a large gap between his glove and his pad, that was 1 goal in the series.
When he loses the puck in his equipment and it gets scrambly and does snow angels instead of holding a butterfly or doing a starfish which cost us 2 in the series.
I was hoping Jack was ligit, but other than his hot streak he has looked very flawed.
I'm not blaming him for the loss as I always say it takes a team to win or lose, but he was not good in this series

No goalies perfect, but this board clearly thinks there are a lot that are. He had a better save % than price did and we still lost.

Hard to win when you don't score.

We need another Jack

Goalie stats from the 3 games where the series was on the line:

Campbell:

Game - SA - SV - SV%
5 - 30 - 26 - .867
6 - 31 - 28 - .903
7 - 22 - 20 - .909

T - 83 - 74 - .892

Price:

Game - SA - SV - SV%
5 - 35 - 32 - .914
6 - 43 - 41 - .953
7 - 31 - 30 - .968

T - 109 - 103 - .945

As usual, we lost because of goaltending.

Campbell was still the best choice we had though, since Andersen is a career .876 in similar situations.

For sure, he played excellent. That doesn’t excuse him blowing game 7 though.

Not in games 5, 6, and 7.

 

[Trapper]

He was good but he will be blamed quick if the core can’t advance next kick at the can.
His fault is next up.

Most of the people here don't know how to break down goaltending they just see saves and goals.

Jack is not the long-term starting goalie for the Leafs because of many of the above points.

There are deep technical flaws in his game which tend to cause weak goals to squeak through him at the wrong times.

This is why I was saying all along Jack will struggle when teams have more time to scout him, break down his weaknesses and gameplan to expose them.

I have helped teams as a goalie coach break down opposing goaltenders and seen how coaches gameplan to exploit repeated bad habits.

With Jack, I am attacking him from behind the net and on bad angle plays all day. His post integration is poor and even if it doesn't go in, he loses his net and his feet in scrambles.

We didn't lose cause of goal tending, we lost cause the team didn't come out to play and couldn't score in game 7

Goaltending was the least of our problems in this series

Stop ignoring every piece of data and log sent your way. The dude choked in games 5-7.

You are blinded by your profile picture man crush.

Not in games 5, 6, and 7.

After ~60 minutes of game, Campbell allowed 3 goals, 2 goals and 2 goals against in each of these game respectively. The Leafs on the other hand who averaged 3.3 goals per 60 during the regular season scored an average of 2.33 goals per game during these games, which is even worst compare to the mostly Eichel less Buffalo Sabres of this season.

The Goalies these past 2 playoff series put up a sv% north of .930, the defence gave up less than 2 goals per game during both of these series, yet, these are the areas some people here are pointing their fingers at instead of the clear obvious culprit of the collapse.

After 60 minute of regular gameplay Campbell gave up
Game 5- 3 goals
Game6- 2 goals
game 7- 2 goals

Leafs averaged 3.3 goals during the regular season but only scored 2.33 goals in average during these final 3 closing games, they were even worst in the CBJ series when they average less than 2 goals per 60 for the ENTIRE series and was shutout during that dreadful game 5, for comparison the Ducks who were dead last in the reg season this year had a 2.19 GF per 60 and against Boston in 2019, the Leafs averaged 1.67 goals per game during games 5,6 and 7 with Andy absolutely stealing game 5 for the Leafs.

But sure its the defence and goaltending that lost them these series, not the offence that time and time again gets completely neutralized by the neutral zone trap in the playoffs with the refs now allowing players to get away with almost all of the borderline interference and holding plays in the neutral zone. Seriously were we not watching the same game? The AM line couldn't even get set up in the offence zone as the Habs gave them absolutely no room to carry the puck, heck, they even forced the Leafs to dump and chase the puck on THEIR OWN POWERPLAY!!

 

[Man Bear Pig]

For sure, he played excellent. That doesn’t excuse him blowing game 7 though.

He didnt blow the game. The Gallagher goal was a stinker, for sure, but the team gave him no goal support at all. The team in front of him blew the series. There's just no killer instinct with these guys.

There is no killer instinct with Jack Campbell either.

Same as the rest of the Leafs, performed great in the regular season and getting up to a 3-1 lead, and shrunk when it came time to close the series.

When you lose hard like TOR did, no one is safe.
