GDT: Leafs vs Devils 7:30 PM

[BrannigansLaw]

Incoming Vezina performance from the nj goalie

 

[DarkKnight]

Thank god Kyle didn’t sign Campbell before Christmas, all the chatter was he missed the opportunity and we would pay. That seems like EONS ago, imagine if we signed him for a big number for term. Phew! Still lots to prove Jack.

 

[34]

Mrazek is going to take the #1 starting goalie position from Campbell.

Campbell has been really bad as of late!

 

[LastOne2100]

I guess this is the mercurial side of Campbell we were lucky enough not to have seen for the first half of the season. Guy just seems… broken.

Yeah Campbell has always seemed a bit fragile mentally - really too hard on himself and can just spiral.

 

[Smif]

Soup is going to spiral down hard.

We need to make a move for a D and F sooner rather than later. Where’s our depth?

We've been scoring plenty lately. I don't see the nees for a forward.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Campbell looks like the Habs goaltending.

Dems fighting words!

 

[Sypher04]

Sandin has been fine recently and reasonably consistent most of the season. Liljegren... is different.

Liljegren has been fine. He and Sandin have both had their messy moments defensively

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Haven't seen a good cycle shift from the second line like that in a long time.

 

[fahad203]

Nah Freddy got ran down every season. He would get worse and worse as the season went on most times.

That's still better getting worse and worse in midseason no?

 

[Bellefour20]

Please ride Mrazek until he finds his game and then continue to play him while he gets hot. Let Campbell rest and fight for his spot.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

What do people expect? We rode Campbell into the ground to start the year, and now we will have a shadow of what he can be the stretch and in the playoffs. That's why he needs to sit and play minimum games for a few weeks. Let Mrazek be the starter for a bit.

Campbell is playing badly all on his own. There's nothing about his workload that should have been too hard to handle

 

[MSZ]

Muzzin's injury has exposed all of the issues this team have. It's a good thing I guess?

 

[frizzer1]

How does a goaltender lose it so quickly??

 

[Gallagbi]

Only Toronto can make garbage teams playing their 5th string goaltender look good.

He doesn't look good

 

[Cecithepylon]

Ahl goalie in net

 

[Nylander88]

Rough go for Soupy. I like the early pull. Can always give Campbell the chance to redeem himself against the same squad tomorrow night

 

[definedMF]

I'm definitely getting concerned with Campbell. What are our options?

 

[LastOne2100]

Please ride Mrazek until he finds his game and then continue to play him while he gets hot. Let Campbell rest and fight for his spot.

Yeah, the benefit of the 1A and 1B is to have them compete against each other for ice time and up their game to do it.

 

[ToneDog]

Thank god Kyle didn’t sign Campbell before Christmas, all the chatter was he missed the opportunity and we would pay. That seems like EONS ago, imagine if we signed him for a big number for term. Phew! Still lots to prove Jack.

Depends what the number was.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Soupy looked terrible, but so has everyone else. 3 goals in 10 minutes is awful against any team, but the Devils? Yikes. Wake up.

 

[Stephen]

It took 3 years to run down Andersen. If campbells been run down after a half season I’d let him walk to free agency

Not overreacting here but when you think about re-signing Campbell these slump tendencies need to be factored in. What ratio of Vezina goaltending do you get, what ratio of poor starts do you get. How does he handle these slumps. How much work can he handle, etc.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Keefe with all his big talk about trying new things based on the game. He hasn't done jack yet beside making Marner miss a shift (oddly enough we scored after this though lmao). If he thinks kerfoot-kampf-nylander and bunting-matty-kase is the answer to this 3-1 deficit, oh god. Let's see what this experimenting is about surely he has more moves up his sleeve.

 

[MoreMogilny]

We've been scoring plenty lately. I don't see the nees for a forward.

we can get stifled hard by good defensive and transition teams. Scoring lots vs bad teams doesn’t say too much. Another top 9 forward with speed would make us a lot more consistent.

 

[LeafsFan89]

People picking on Jack... Have you seen (or not) our defense and team defense lately????

Yeah some stoppable shots. But the team has played utter shite.

 

[HockeyVirus]

oh please, he had a typical starter's workload, he wasn't ridden into the ground

He's was on pace for 70 starts only last week.
