Post-Game Talk: Jack Campbell is a Toronto Maple Leaf. Leafs win.

[Chief keefe]

This will be my second retired goalie jersey. Damn I need to stop buying goalie jerseys lol

 

[SprDaVE]

> Great goaltending, Campbell is the man
> Muzzin and Holl had a bounce back game, Muzzin was great
> Marner and Matthews looked dangerous all night
> That specific 4th line looked really solid. Spezza's hockey IQ is so high
> This was actually not as sharp of a game as the previous 3-4 when it came to defense
> Counting the days until Matthews can start shooting again like before, its frustrating as hell

It wasn't even great goaltending. He made maybe two big saves (the SH breakaway and stack pad save) and the rest were all pretty routine or being in position. We're so accustomed to Andersen lately letting in random shots or flukey goals in while being sub-average. Rittchie was a whole lot busier for most of the game.

Matthews will blow up again. He'll get another 5 days rest for his wrist. He's got 5 or so posts last few games. Game of inches.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

CLEARLY our #1 Keefe is a smart guy... but if he starts Andersen 5 days from now, I am going to be extremely upset. Run with your hot goalie!

 

[Leafs87]

Goaltending now addressed.
time to get a forward with serious presence. Can’t have just 1. Ideally two more are needed

 

[francis246]

So you personally know what to do for John Tavares specifically, and you know better then Keefe.

I'll trust Keefe on this one.

I'm assuming you have a certification as a grammar coach as well ?

well I am also an Ontario certified teacher, so technically I have my certification in correcting grammar as well.

I don’t know JT personally, but I do know his confidence is probably low, he’s probably frustrated and it’s wearing on him. He seemed most at ease playing with Marner. So in order to recreate the feelings of success he previously had, it would be beneficial to give him time with Marner. Allow him to feel like he did a season ago to get him going and gain confidence again.

 

[Burnie97]

LMAO @ Freddy apologists

Why you hating... just enjoy the win.

I'm an Andy supporter but 100% Campbell gets the net right now.

I just prefer not to throw every leaf under the bus.

He hasn't been good but let's be honest its like there is more Andy hate than leafs win and good for Campbell.

 

[ottomaddox]

Near perfect.

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

What a relief. Feels good.

 

[TheShape]

Flames are goons, refs turned a blind eye as per usual.

Amazing what can happen when this team gets even average goaltending.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Read way too much bs from you Freddy apologists lately not to.

Well excuse me for saying that I'd like another goalie, Freddie has been playing poorly for a long time now but not every single goal is his fault. If that sets you off then perhaps you're too easily offended.

[hockeynorth]

Man is a gamer

you ride that guy like the hawks rode Crawford

 

[ToMaLe]

For the love of God Keefe, please run with Campbell now....

 

[Suntouchable13]

Live feed of Andersen

He still got millions in the bank, though. He is still going to get a decent contract in the summer.

 

[The Legend]

Lol. He's just another on the list of other teams backups the Leafs keep using as their number 1. Maybe it's time the Leafs start developing their own goalie.

Why didn't anyone think of that

 

[Divine]

Jack Campbell: .965 save percentage
Michael Hutchinson: .922 save percentage
Frederick Andersen: .897 save percentage

 

[Sniper99]

Can’t be right all the time

Can definitely be lost all the time, you and 6ix must know each other. LOL

Give it a rest enjoy a win for Christ sake

Holtby has looked good in this Nux/Habs game. I still say trade Freddy for him as insurance in the playoffs. Take Virtanen or Dipietro with him.

Holtby is done. He was a fantasric goalie and I'm a big fan, but he is not a quality goalie anymore.

Freddie has been bad/mediocre for 1.5 years and people want to crucify them. Holtby has been bad for the majority of his last 4 years other than washingtons cup win 4 years ago where he wasnt even the starter to begin the playoffs.

I love the guy, but he's not a high quality player at this point and it'd be stupid to trade for a guy that is signed through next year when we could use that capspace.

 

[Leafsfan74]

I don't get people who hate on any of our players and it's kind of sad that some people can't just enjoy the win tonight without taking more shots at Andersen. The guy didn't play tonight, give it a rest FFS.

Never kick a man when he's down (unless he's a real you know what).

Freddie bailed out this team for a couple of years. He was lights out some of those games dealing with multiple 2 on 1s and breaks every game. Sometimes a goalie just loses his groove. Other times they find it suddenly. If not here, somewhere else.

 

[Gary Nylund]

All I did was called Ips out for posting the Andersen bulllshit earlier, Im definitely enjoying this win tonight FFS!

My comment wasn't directed at you at all, sorry if that wasn't clear. I agree with you 100%.

 

[ponder]

Noice! Honestly played just as well as we did in most of our losses, but got the goaltending. We were the better team tonight, as we have been most nights during this slide.

Campbell should start for the foreseeable future. Sounds like Andersen is injured, if Campbell is healthy and playing well, Freddy shouldn’t play much.

 

[Bellefour20]

I don't understand - why do you think anyone would want to trade for Andersen?

Nucks are in cap hell and Andersen comes cheaper than Holtby. His real cost is much less too in this financially strapped covid era.

 

[IPS]

It wasn't even great goaltending. He made maybe two big saves (the SH breakaway and stack pad save) and the rest were all pretty routine or being in position. We're so accustomed to Andersen lately letting in random shots or flukey goals in while being sub-average.

Matthews will blow up again. He'll get another 5 days rest for his wrist. He's got 5 or so posts last few games. Game of inches.

I mean we've actually played some of the best defensive hockey ever in the Matthews era in this month of March but it's coincided with the worst goaltending we've received since Toskala.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Love this guy! pure positive energy, great team player, and a fantastic goalie that seems to always be in position.. backup my ass!

 

[ryno23]

so your goaltender makes key saves, plays calm and the team wins. Your PK struggles and guess what your goalie fights thru screens and makes saves making your PK perfect.

Nothing like a guy with confidence in net. YOu can just tell the mental state that Cambpell plays with and Andersen is a mental midget in nets.
