Jack Campbell vs Thatcher Demko

[M2Beezy]

This is clearly Demko but I think Campbell is getting really underrated here as one of the leagues BEST backups

Lol.

I think Demko is a top 5 starter.

I'd say Campbell is a top 15 starter.

Campbell wasn't good last night, I can't say how he's played the past few games. But it seems he's in a bit of a slump at the moment. These things happen to everyone, but what's interesting that he's already played more games than ever before in a single NHL season (two AHL seasons with 40 and 52 games, one with 35 games). So is it slump or fatigue? if latter, Leafs might have a goaltending problem coming

Campbell's been struggling since around December 1st. Over that 15 game stretch, he's allowed 3 or more goals in 11 out of those 15 starts.

Ironically, the offense has been bailing him out as he's still 10-3-2 in that stretch.

Gotta post again, after Demko's 51 save win performance, they are now tied in SV%

Where the Campbell people at

and the Canucks are a way worse team

How in the blue hell could anybody be voting for Demko?

Hi. Back to reality?

 

[rotiman187]

Well, now Leaf fans know who the better goalie is..

 

[NAC2022]

Demko for sure

 

[ole ole]

A top 10 goalie vrs a top backup. You guys decide.

sleeping. They are 3 hours ahead.

I personally don't open hockeydb (unless I need an exact number) and vote based on ability. I have been a goalie for decades so I believe in my goalie assessments even more than for skaters.

Demko impressed the hell out of me in that 2020 bubble against Vegas. He looked unbeatable.

Bumping this post because I want to stress again about how more efficient it is to "scout" hockey players based on their ability and not just their "stats-du-moment" on hockeydb

Campbell is not a bad goalie at all, just that Demko is very good.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

5 vs 5 stats:

Demko:
GP: 37
5v5 Save%: .941

Shesterkin:
GP: 29
5v5 Save%: .940

Vasy:
GP: 37
5v5 Save%: .934

Man I love this poll

 

[Hugh Mungus]

There is a legitimate argument that Jack Campbell is the favorite for the Vezina yet he's losing this poll.

I think the vezina race and this poll should be the least of leafs fans concerns. You guys should be more worried about not having a starter heading into the playoffs

 

[centipede2233]

The answer to this poll was always demko. I even voted demko when the canucks were crap earlier this year while Campbell was doing his best hasek impression for 2 reasons, even if Campbell is a bit better, demko is younger and doesn’t have the injury history that Campbell has.
