Agreed, I wanted him to get the start but he completely screwed his team with that lousy goal against.
Was a bad goal to give up but Campbell saw no support whatsoever on the play. Forsberg flies right in at speed and Drai watches him go around instead of hauling him down. Forsberg is dangerous on wraparound plays and one of the better players at it. He gets around the net faster than most and of course no D was at the other side helping to interfere with the play. Usually what you see in wraparound attempts is them being thwarted by D taking position, or opponent being slowed or impeded in the attempt. None of that occurred on the goal. Forsberg was essentially untouched other than the slight tug Drai made.
Campbell made the mistake on the play of biting on the shot because Forsberg is good at shortside in close shots, so has to be respected. Campbell was committed, couldn't get across due to it, and goal. Note I'm not absolving Campbell, he made the wrong read on what was going to occur.
It was a well taken goal by Forsberg. But he's made a lot of teams look silly on that play. I don't blame Campbell btw on the other goals where Desharnais was doing nothing, or the O Reilly goal where Nurse was outmuscled to the post. For 9M buck Nurse that can't happen. The guy was signed to be a bull, one of the strongest players on ice. If he can't neutralize or contain players around the goal he and his contract shouldn't even be here.
