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

[Menzinger]

dude's a glorified james reimer

Reimers best seasons he had the sv% of a starter.

Id take that for a backup 10/10 times

I think goalies get overrated in Toronto and never get blame like DMen do.
The credit Andersen got for every Leaf win was ludicrous.

he won a ton more games for the team than the team won for him. he deserves a ton of credit whether you like it or not

Show us how you came to that conclusion.

Show us how you came to that conclusion.

by watching the games and applying logic.

Campbell is more of a wild card than a James Reimer. The guy’s skill set looks high end. His technique looks high end. We know he was a pedigree prospect who fell short but he’s been developed in a good goalie factory in LA, doesn’t have a ton of mileage on him in his late 20s and could surprise.

He could be a late bloomer to become a starter. He has great technique, great attitude, very athletic and he battles. Just needs to pull it altogether. Craig Anderson was a guy that didn't become a starter till he was 29.

It would be interesting to see if we end up trying him as a starter if we let Freddy walk.

Who says that’s and isn’t an absolute BEAUTY!

I personally think Campbell is the exact opposite of James Reimer

Reimer had a better season in 2019-2020 than Andersen did - he even had the same amount of shutouts in half as many GP

 

[PromisedLand]

what did I miss? is he starting over Freddy?

 

[ShaneFalco]

I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do given the opportunity

Dude Reimer is an awesome guy BUT he sucks as a goalie. his rebound control is a JOKE and he folds like a cheap tent when the going gets tough.

So does Andersen......the folding part.

I really hope he starts tonight. Freddie was underwhelming against the habs

This guy have played six games for this team and some idiots praise him like he's some kind of Vezina caliber hero. I already wait to see when these same people will turn on him very fast.

If you want to give him mister nice guy award sure go ahead.

I like his personality a lot.

I think that 64 NHL games (0.916) is his only crime, and I personally don't think that's so bad.

Campbell looks promising but it is way too early to conclude anything.
I hope that he will be reliable when the going gets tough.
We need him to develop, feel comfortable under pressure (he has not tried real pressure yet) and hopefully he can either share the load with Andersen or win the starting position.

A hot Andersen is a wall and when he's exhausted (or going through a shit period) it would be awesome to net Campbell - and vice versa.
Could be a nice tandem if we are lucky.

 

[ottomaddox]

Jack Campbell is my life.

This guy is a beauty.

 

[Primary Assist]

He played very well tonight with a great efficiency of movement. He looks a little smaller than his listed height and weight, but he stays square to the puck and doesn't give away too much too easy.

I think Holtby is a decent comparable stylistically. Lets pray Jack can bring us that level of goaltending.

Jack looks to be a solid backup

Jack is not the back up. He is the #1 starter.

 

[MattySnipes]

Congrats Soupy on the win. LETS GO!

 

[Drew311]

Play the hot hand, especially in a shortened season. The Leafs won’t be re-signing Andersen and should have no loyalty to him. Andersen’s play should have at least forced a platoon situation for the time being.

 

[Menzinger]

While one of the goals was questionable, great to see a win from him tonight. Hes got such a great attitude during his interviews: can't help but love the guy.

Hope he settles into his new role and gets more starts as we go on
