Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

[zeke]

He went to an elite Wings team, did fairly better than his last year with us, and then at age 36 blew a tire while still doing better than his final season with us, until age and health took him down.

He was still a fantastic, reliable goalie for us.

Better how

 

[zeke]

Yes there are fewer starting goalies than forwards in the NHL but the number of kids throughout the world who actually play goalie is shockingly small compared to forwards. You're selecting from a pool of kids that is 10, 20, 30x smaller than the forward pool.

Millions

Better how

A .912 versus a .906, in more games, and in line with his best years with us?

 

[Killer93]

Bruins are real gud.

 

[Neurospasm]

Hey Marchand seems to be just fine. I think that’s 2g 1a so far.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

This is why he needs to rest tomorrow.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Looks like maybe Montreal got too competitive for its own liking.

That's a shame.

So the big brain move here would be to start a goalie-only league in Toronto.

Campbell 4 goals, .857 in two periods against Chicago so far.

legit not sure if he can/should hold off skinner for the starting job.

[Neurospasm]

It’s really not looking good for Campbell so far. This is even worse than I thought it’d be to be honest.

 

[zeke]

Jack's been well under .900 now for the last ~1/4 of his career.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I really don't think anyone would've predicted such a rough start. If anything, I thought he'd be lights out to begin.

So that is really bad news so far for the Oil having committed that much in dollars and term to him if he's gonna play like a sub to the backup.

 

[CTheBigPicture]

Campbell ends up giving up 5, 0.861. Oilers score last minute to take it.

 

[MindzEye]

I really don't think anyone would've predicted such a rough start. If anything, I thought he'd be lights out to begin.

Why though? His last 2-3 months in Toronto were more or less exactly this level of play.

 

[leafman101]

I’m excited for when the Leafs score 6 goals a game again.

 

[axlsalinger]

EDM could have a goalie controversy soon.

Skinner .957
Campbell .883

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I’m excited for when the Leafs score 6 goals a game again.

This year? Pathetic so far. Just pathetic.
