absolutely not on Campbell BUT

The goalie needs to make a damn save. How many times did Desmith, Hart, Hellebyuck make 5 alarm saves against us? how many times did they make fluke saves, how many times did look totally lost but came away with the puck in a scrum? the answer is a lot and that's why we've lost. Our goalies aren't making those saves, outside of the scorpion kick save from Campbell.

Schwartz knows what he’s doing though. He’ll be the HC soon enough

He let out a rebound but was about to cover it and Bouchard swatted it away. Lol
Yeah, a D man tried to clear the puck out from the front of the net with 2 minnesota players there.

Thats not bouchards fault.

Campbell should quit being a dip shit and hold onto that easy rebound.

No, it wasnt
Atleast we know you dont understand goaltending.

Yep- as the goalie is corralling the puck to cover it and the defenseman tries to sway it right up the middle is a good play.

Orrr, the goalie could just catch that muffin of a shot and hold onto it, and not have to create this net front scramble.

Ever think of that?

Brilliant analysis from you.

That period was Bouchard in a nutshell. Responsible for 2 goals for and immediately gives them right back with weak af play in front of his net.

Bro your so off base.

The problem is not the forwards.


This is horrific defending by Bouchard and horrific goaltending by Campbell.

You have to start singling the weak links out or this will just keep going in circles. Someone surely has to be pointing out how pathetic Bouchards defending is on these plays.

I didn’t blame the forwards. Haha. I called Bouch out for being softer than dog shit on the first goal in another post. Second goal he was weak too. His defence is as bad as his offence is good. He needs to be better

Or, Bouchard could just let him cover it while he tied up a stick.

Well in theory you can teach defense. Even Barrie got average. It's hard to teach offense. So over time Bouchard should only get better

We outplayed them, but our great equalizers were in full force.

This team is and has always only been as good as the dumbest player on the ice. Our problem is we have about a half dozen players on this team that can single handedly throw a game away on a given night, and all of them seem to like to take turns.
Yup, good effort. Got them PP opportunities which were squandered. And passive own zone defending bites them on the ass ... again. Too much erratic in their game and the forward depth hasn't stepped up.

Could have played it better but bouncing puck deflected off Bouchards stick whereas he could have been facing the man vs watching the puck.
That's an easy rebound to control by a NHL goalie, theres zero reason for a shot that hits you in the crest to fall 5 feet infront of you.
