Maple Leafs Goalie Success: The Rise of Jack Campbell

Must read

If you’re a Maple Leafs fan, I’m sure you feel the same way I do about Jack Campbell. Jack Campbell is a delight, a positive ray of sunshine in Toronto and an impressive goal tender. I mean, you only have to watch a Leafs game for a few minutes to see how beloved this man is in Toronto, with the loud “SOUUUP” chants. It’s hard to put into words how great this guy is, as a player but also as a human being (Jack sends Red Lobster to his teammates, just because. Like cmon, how sweet is that!)

In the last 17 games, the Leafs have won their last 15. Which is pretty impressive, not to mention a franchise breaking record for wins in the month of November for the Leafs. A lot of their recent success is kudos to Mr. Jack Campbell. Jack Campbell joined the Leafs in 2020 to act as a back-up goalie to Freddie Andersen. From the start, Campbell seemed to fit in well with the group. In a short period of time, Campbell went from being a back-up goalie to an incredible starting goalie who could easily get picked to represent Team US in the 2022 Winter Olympic Games. So much growth for Campbell and I am here for it.

Jack Campbell has shown the Leafs fan base how great he is and when the team in front of him plays well and does their job, we have nothing to worry about. I know I’m not alone in feeling nervous or hesitant; even though the Leafs are playing extraordinarily well, I have a sinking feeling in my stomach while I wonder what will happen when the playoffs roll around. Truthfully, having solid goal tending really helps this feeling and eases a bit of concern.

The intention going into the 2021-2022 season was that the goal tending duties would be shared by Petr Mrazek and Jack Campbell. Mrazek, who is currently out with a groin injury, is apparently going to be healthy enough to play again soon. In the meantime, having Campbell as our goaltender has been an absolute treat. The team loves him, the media loves him, and of course, the fans love him. Looking forward to many more wins with Jack between the pipes – maybe a couple shutouts too!
