Campbell didn't lose the Leaf's series, but he didn't do anything to sway it their way either. To advance in playoffs, you NEED a goalie to steal a few games. He did not. No goalie the Leafs have had the past few years has stolen a game in the playoffs. Just look at Varlamov/Sorokin. Both have won a game or two in the first two rounds that the Isles had NO business winning.

Playoff winners win b/c they are constructed from a goalie and defense first mentality.

totally agree with this.

even when Campbell played well, Price played just a bit better.
year after year its the same story

We didn't lose because Campbell is not Price..

The Leafs lost because they came up short in big moments.

In a seven game series, there was only one game where he gave up more than 2 goals in regulation.

That's outstanding.

He did absolutely everything required of him.

The rest of the team is to blame.

Well we can Yeat Marner into the sun and sign a 10 million dollar goalie if we want Carey Price level goal tending, because that's what it cost.

Our goalie at 1.6 million was outstanding. Of course he was outplayed by the 10 million dollar goalie - he is supposed to be.

The issue is our 10 million dollar forwards being outscored by Montreal's cheap forwards.

ME ME ME!!!!

I'm ready and won't have to play with mismatching gear.....+ my name already has a number in it so when you all post to rip on my poopty performances it's easy for you.

Cush29 - yes I'm giving up 29 goals!

(I don't mind running with JC as the starter but as some others have said I am concerned the workload will have him get hurt and the Leafs need someone they are ok with playing 35 games or so).

My expectations are related to a player's salary.

Thornton was making (frank) all and played like it - So I don't have much of an issue with him.

Simmonds doesn't make much either. (Though more was expected in terms of physicality)

Hyman makes like 2.2 mil.

Most on the team produced about what you would expect given their salaries.

Two players played well below their salaries - That's the beginning, middle and end for me.

One for sure is Marner.. Is the other Tavares? I mean he did get injured, but I guess he did struggle in his 2+ minutes of ice time

Matthews needs to score more than one goal over a 7 game series.

He was certainly better than Marner - but still well below what should be expected.

I can't take credit for that style.......this guy can, I had a mask painted to match that gear tribute better than my Palmateer one also.
