Just an illusion, Jets fans got him figured out he's 'shaky' and actually sucks.

 

[Menzinger]

Essentially getting him for a 3rd could end up Dubas' best trade.

What a great day for the Leafs that was

 

[Rokker]

I wish nothing but the best for this guy and he's been as solid as you could ask for. I absolutely hope it continues and he brings us to the promised land.

Not sure if it's the PTSD from past Leaf choke jobs or if it's his movement that makes me wonder how sustainable his play is though.

I hope he cracks the egg over my head with his continued excellent play, and potentially outduels another previous vezina winner.

Please don't hurt me, Jack.

Just remember, this guy was the 17 year old kid who wasn't supposed to play then stepped in during the elimination games to steal the gold medal for USA at the WJC. He's got that DNA in him to step up. Plus when it seemed like his NHL dreams were likely done he pulled it together and is now starting for the biggest NHL franchise in the playoffs. Campbell is a fighter

All good points.

Gotta keep the faith.

Dubas should wait until march/april to verify he's legit.

Anyone else wonder how many Vezina ballots Jack Campbell's name will be on? Not that he'll win but I wonder how many 4th/5th place votes he'll get.

As far as I remember, ballots didn't have to be submitted till the end of the 1st round, and although it's supposed to be based on the regular season, these playoffs could definitely have an impact

I don't like the fact that he's wearing a Kings jersey in his NHL picture. Not because he plays for the Leafs now, but because I feel like he should be wearing some sort of robe, crown, and holding a scepter like the God-Emperor that he is.

I think ballots were supposed to be in last week at some point.

Waking up to the NHL stats ...

Freddie was usually good for one softie a game.

Specifically, as it relates to this series, I see no way we win game number 3 with Freddie in between the pipes and we'd be tied 2-2 right now.

I purposely didn't get involved with the whole anointing this guy as the 2nd coming, as seemingly this whole fan base has done over the past few days, because to me the jury is still out. He's played very solidly in this series but really hasn't been tested the way Price has with regards to dangerous scoring chances. His shutout was as 'easy' as a shutout as you can get facing that many shots. Tonight he wasn't great at all. Obviously it doesn't negate his great play all series but he has a long way to go still IMO to prove he's our future number one. Hoping he comes out more focused and sharp Sat night to close this thing out.

And you quoted me because what? It has nothing to do with my post.

Tough game but he'll be fine.

If Jack lays an egg tomorrow night, does Freddie start game 7?

Do you want to see Dubas fired?

 

[Clark4Ever]

Campbell played solid yesterday. He is not in any way responsible for the loss.

Even when Jack Campbell has a bad game, I still feel confident with him in net. It's been a while since I could watch a Leafs game without even thinking about the goaltender.

 

[moon111]

I can just imagine how much guys like Riemer, Toskala, etc., were laughing their heads off watching the O.T. last night.

No, but I’d be interested to see what’d happen. But that would be After the 10 day internet cut off I’d do

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Soup did not have his A game for sure but 2 gifts from Sandin really hurt his cause and 1 gift from Gally finished it off .. but 2nd goal by Armia he went swimming which you do not see very often from Soup .. he can be better and he knows it .. I think with Sandin out of lineup and we just play our normal game we should win game 6 pretty easy .. this should be a pretty simple fix really

There was nothing at all solid about his play yesterday. Solid was on full display in Montreal, for sure. Yesterday he let a few softies in (#1 and #3 in particular) and looked off-balance the whole game, even falling back into his net once with no one around. He had a lot of trouble finding the puck in his crease as well and pouncing on it for a whistle. We can praise him when he's solid but got to call a spade a spade when he's not - hopefully we see Game 3 Campbell Sat night.
