Injury Report: Jack Campbell "Out for weeks"

[Gary Nylund]

Hutch was fine for the Avs - probably just felt the pressure here. Not a big deal giving him a start at all.
Freddy's numbers haven't been great either

+1

It's pretty hilarious the way people are freaking out about this. This fan base sometimes, boy oh boy.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Actually, I didn't mention his previous season at all. He was awful last season. It happens. That doesn't mean you need to exaggerate how bad he is as a player, and go on a huge rant every time he's mentioned. We're talking about starting him in 1 game against the last place team in the division, and only due to an injury and the back-to-back. Not a big deal.

You have mentioned his previous season multiple times in the past which is an even smaller sample size.

But the sample size I used was to small because it doesn't fit your narrative.

Here is the reality Hutchinson was shit, there are no lies you can tell, or ways you can spin it to make it look good.

Hutchinson was shit it's that simple

I didn't mention his previous season at all. The only time I've ever really mentioned it was when people (like you) were using hindsight to claim that his career worst season was somehow inevitable, and claim that he was garbage throughout his career and entire time as a Leaf, which was wrong. Neither of those sample sizes are enough to draw conclusions about a player. The simple fact is that Hutchinson is not an ideal goalie to have as a backup, and he was not good for us last year, but he's only there right now due to injury, and you massively exaggerate how bad he is as a player. Playing him for one game is not the end of the world.

Jack has been out longer than I had expected/hoped

Seems about right. He should get 2 of 3 Ottawa games. Its the right thing to do. Last thing we want is to ride Andersen to hard and we lose him. If we beat Montreal on Saturday its a no brainer since we would have opened up a nice gap over those chasing us.

I hope Campbell is back by March 3rd/4th. Thats what another 3 weeks.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Any timeline when Soup comes back ?????/

 

[LeafalCrusader]

No I don't think they'd go with Woll, that would be beyond stupid since according to AHL.COM his last game was March 11th 2020 that's 11 months today they wouldn't throw a guy that hasn't played in 11 months into an NHL game.

If Hutchinson or Freddy get hurt and Campbell still can't go they go get somebody

For one game? Lol. I'd like to see Woll back up Hutchinson on Thursday and Freddy get the full night off.

So we're just conceding that third game to Edmonton on March 3rd?

 

[A1LeafNation]

Campbell should be back by the beginning of March.

[BrannigansLaw]

Excellent news.

 

[crump]

A welcome sight.

 

[Cor]

Back on the ice again today.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

But will he be good to go by Thursday that's What's important

 

[Golden_Jet]

Probably not, if not on ice with team yet.

Agreed. Spare Anderson the b2b. My only change might be the Edmonton/Vancouver series. If we win the first two Edmonton games (or get at least three points) start Hutch. Otherwise give him Vancouver game one.

If Campbell is back then we needn't worry though.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Glad Campbell is back on the ice. Probably still a couple of weeks away but we may only need to survive on Hutch start before Campbell is ready to return.

 

[Voodoo Child]

The team right behind us has a week off, they play three in a row against the worst team, and Freddy leads netminders in minutes and starts.

Notice how the trend with Freddy has been poor-average start, hot play up til January, then a few down months? He looks better with more action but he does get worn down.

The band-aid is gonna have to come off Hutchinson sometime. Ottawa isn't good but always plays us hard, but I think we overwhelm them.

Give Hutch tonight, if he looks alright and they pull three of four points in the first two games then give him Thursday.

 

[NikoEhlers]

Halleluja, glad it wasnt serious, hopefully he is ready next week or end of this week already, but im not so scared of Hutch in net, our team D has looked better than last year

 

[Judas Tavares]

Yes, Hutch was not good for us last year. Yes he is not good overall.

But like we lead the division and his potential game is against the worst team in the league.

People pulling their hair out about starting Hutch. It is quite dramatic. There could be worse things/decisions/situations that could be plaguing/challenging this team.

 

[GQS]

Please come back ASAP Campbell. I'm so sick and tired of seeing Andersen suck in net.

 

[Cecithepylon]

Poor us Iunno just keep trying

 

[lovemyleafs]

Disgraceful .When will people accept that Freddy is not a #1 goalie and that he's definitely not the best goalie on this team?
