Koskinen and Smith are gone so I see some fans are turning their hate to Campbell now.
Yes I would like to see his numbers be better but when I watch the Oilers play infront of Campbell every game, they are SOOO loose.
First goal deflects off Ceci's skate and Campbell has to make an instant reaction save. Should Campbell handled the rebound better? I don't know. It was bang bang and lots of times those go in. Leon watches Ekholm cruise by him to fire it in. Ekholm is a decent skater but he's not McD. How about pick the open guy up as a center, isn't that part of your job?
Second goal. Johanson is just standing right in front of the net all by himself waiting for a tip as Bouchard stands beside him hanging out. Doesn't tie him up, doesn't do anything. Just standing there. Niemelainen is behind Johanson but Bouchard is close enough to touch him and does nothing. Text book tip in goal. I guess Campbell should have made a 10 bell save.
3rd goal was a cross ice 1 timer from the faceoff dot by a guy who had 42 goals last year. In my opinion, unless the guy misses his shot, that's a goal that should happen 10 out of 10 and if you watch, Campbell got a piece of it. To me, you can't let that pass get across especially not completely clean and you definitely shouldn't let their best scorer stand there all by himself in what I call a premium scoring spot. But I guess Campbell who had to slide all the way across should stop that.
4th goal. Guys in front. Puck is moving from one side to the other, pass comes out of the corner to a guy cruising unmarked through the high slot 12 ft from the goal and redirects the puck in through Campbell's legs as he's trying to move across. Another goal where unless the guy misses his shot and hits the goalie by accident, that's a goal 10 out of 10 times.
He wins games and seems to make big saves at key times when they need it. When Skinner is in, I don't see the Oilers giving up the 10 bell chances against like they do with Campbell but I guess Campbell needs to make more miraculous saves.

I didn't think any of the goals were weak at all, but Campbell is 58th in GAA at 3.91, and 52nd in save % at .881.
Goalies, especially the $5M variety, are paid to make pretty much all the routine save PLUS some difficult ones.
Fact is, he's 3rd worst in the entire league at stopping high danger chances. I know you're not a huge fan of "advanced" stats, but this one is pretty straighforward
https://www.naturalstattrick.com/playerteams.php?fromseason= 20222023&thruseason=20222023&stype=2&sit=all& ;amp ;score=all&stdoi=g&rate=n&team=ALL&pos=S& ;amp ;loc=B&toi=0&gpfilt=none&fd=&td=&tgp=410 &lines=single&draftteam=ALL
So no - he hasn't let in too many of those weak very stoppable back breakers we've grown accustomed to from Koskinen and Smith. But he's also stopped fewer of the high danger chances than almost every other goalie in the league.
No team plays perfect D. Goalies WILL be called on to make big saves. Campbell hasn't answered that call too often this year.
But with all that said - I'm still thrilled with our duo. Much happier with our goaltending than I have been in probably 15 years. Just need him to settle in and stop a few more of those chances while still not allowing the weak ones and we should be golden.
