Jack Campbell vs Thatcher Demko

[nergish]

I legitimately thought Campbell was a 6'nothing goaltender this whole time.
He looks a lot smaller than Demko in the crease, despite only being an inch shorter.

Have to give him credit for playing some great hockey for a nice sustained period, but he ain't Thatcher.

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

And Vancouver should be worried about making the playoffs.

I think you guys should be worried above actually making them and not worried about the Leafs

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Demko and not close. He's an all star goalie and Campbell is a very good 1B/High end backup.

Nah, not this year.

Ha kind of funny reading it back in Dec compared to now…

Lol please don't talk about the playoffs. Vancouver has 7 series wins since 2004 compared to Torontos 0.

Every team rebuilds, not every team goes on an 18 year drought.

7 series wins since 2003 I'd be bragging too.

Guys, guys......don't fight. Let's keep our eyes on the point of this thread - the fact that Campbell is the better Goalie here.

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

Pretty sure it was always Shesterkin

Just reading the first few ~10 posts, most posters were kind of bang on though. Saying Demko because younger, more success behind a worst team, Campbell being a question mark in a longer season, injury issues, oh and letting bad goals in the playoffs (though I guess Demko does have to go prove himself there more too)

The only one I see that was adamantly saying "Campbell AINEC" is the 1st reply...

Jack Campbell's even strength numbers have fallen off the face of the earth in the last little while

Toronto is doing a very good job at outscoring his garbage play

 

[North Cole]

Had I seen this before I would have voted Demko. Nothing has changed my mind. We would be a very good team if we could develop a goalie like this.

Also my fantasy team is named after him...

Not great but a whole 7 more than the leafs, was my point.

 

[VainGretzky]

Leafs wish they had Demko

This statement is about as relevant as the fact that Vancouver has a whopping zero cups in their history. Demko is a better goalie, no more needs to be said than that.

not back in december ...this thread was from when campbell had a gaa under 2, and a sv % near .940

 

[Canucks LB]

This aged well

 

[BlueBaron]

Absolutely true. Every team has at least 1 guy that could help another team.

Its clearly making many of you happy which is what hockey is all about.

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

This user still in hiding.

 

[Ainec]

Halak or C6mpbell

 

[Svencouver]

This thread has had a thoroughly satisfying arc

 

[Bankerguy]

lol this thread did not age well for the Leafs.
I hope that maybe a few fans re-read the first few pages of this thread and came to some type of epiphany that maybe they over-value their own players. The bias is real.
