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 agree, I think Campbell is not being given much help, especially on the PK. In games that Campbell has played in our PK has been ~70% and 10/24 goals scored on him are when we are down a man. If anyone knows where we can find his even strength save percentage then I think that is a better measure for him at this point.
I think it is fair to say that he hasn't had a ton of highlight reel saves this season, and Skinner might have more of those in fewer games. I don't think Campbell is playing terribly though and while I hope he does improve on where he is now, I think that a focus on the PK would be better than a focus on a goalie. I think we have two goalies right now that can give us a chance to win any given night, and we're all a little shell shocked by the goalie roller-coaster the last 3 years of Smith and Koskonen that it is natural for us to point the finger there.
