I shouldn't be surprised but I am with the Campbell hate here. People seriously think he should have stopped the OT winner?

An absolutely horrendous line change as 2 Oilers decide it's a great time to change as the Preds are firing the puck up the ice. What's worse is Yamo who was the pressure guy on the puck decides it's time to change them leisurely strolls to the bench. So they instantly created a 2 on 1 from the freaking center line. Then the goal scorer is allowed to walk in to the inside hash marks, pick his spot and rip it and people expect ANY goalie to stop that!! If an NHLer with all the time in the world can't beat a goalie from that spot 100 times out of 100, then he shouldn't be in the NHL. I thought Campbell was the main reason they got a point last night.

I thought Leon was awful last night.

I thought the Kulak and Barrie pairing was good but the other 2 were lousy. Bouchard was brutal again. His defensive awareness is beyond bad right now and the Niemo - Bouchard pairing was a nightmare. It seems it's a competition between Bouchard and Nurse to see who can have the worst give away.

They just continue to make 5 star mistakes that always end up in their net. The other teams don't have to generate a lot of offence on their own. All they have to do is sit back and wait for an Oiler to do something stupid and turn the puck over. Try for a cross ice pass that has to get through 2-3 defenders but if it connects, oohh baby!. Trying soft backhand passes with a defender right beside you. Firing it blindly up the wall, trying to deke though 2, 3, 4 guys on line changes. If there is a stupid low percentage, high danger play to be done vs doing the boring, safe, won't make a highlight reel play, the Oilers will default to the high danger play every time.

I never know what to think anymore with Campbell. He's got that low confidence shrunken crouched over butterfly where he makes his 6'3 frame look like he's 5'2, so shooters might be seeing lots of room up high all the time on him. Seen many Oilers goalies play like he is now. Wish I had confidence this org had a goalie coach that could help him get out of it, but I think it's 100% on him to figure it out. The skaters in front of him sure as hell won't be helping either.

Better game from him regardless. That was such sloppy hockey, from both teams. We get smoked by most teams in this league if we played that same quality game against them.
