Of course this happened to Jack Campbell

Nhl edmonton oilers season has been a complete rollercoaster, and one of the biggest embodiments of that has been jack campbell , who's actually been playing very well in the ahl for the bakersfield condors , but a fluke penalty shot goal has been doing the rounds and yeah, it's wild but I also think it's important to highlight that his game is coming around. For daily coverage of nhl highlights today , news and rumors , predictions rankings and nhl picks today and/or for the whole season plus team/player specific videos (we've done connor mcdavid leon draisaitl auston matthews pastrnak etc and will probably do roman josi next), plus of course edmonton oilers highlights recap reaction and breakdown content, subscribe.

He was never a good goalie. What are you even talking about. Nobody wants to go to the snow hell of Edmonton. wake the fuck up. Oilers can't draft a goalie so blame it on goalies coming at the end of their career. And when was the last time they actually had a goalie that was good?

Calvin Pickard says hello! This guy sucked for the Avs years ago and was buried in the AHL until the Oilers came calling and has been great as a backup to Skinner ! Great if Campbell has "found his mojo" but he can redeem himself elsewhere because I don't want to see him back on the Oilers EVER !!

[@DoubleDOwnage]

He's a 0.920 in the AHL. That means he hasn't improved at all. That's like a 0.840 in the NHL, also 16-12 is a terrible record for an NHL goalie in the AHL.

@@DoubleDOwnageI don’t think a record is an accurate measure for how good a goalie is. A goalie with a high SV% is doing everything they can.

Well, he's putting in the work and slowly re-finding his form again. He could have simply wallowed in despair once he got sent down, but he's working himself back.

[@OilCountryForever]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Oilers could bring up Campbell if we wanted. The cap-relief we get from having him in the minors is already being used on Pickard and another player. Only way he comes up is if Skinner gets injured...*knocking angrily on wood*

[@LinsteadDM]

Pickard would have to clear waivers, which he likely would not. The extra million they saved by sending Soup down doesnt really mean that much. (as 4 out of 5 million still is on the cap right now).

[@saschaganser9671]

They can bring him up for the playoffs and right now do have 1,45m in cap. So it would work out.

[@SaberCove]

The only way Jack gets a NHL shot with the Oilera again is an injury in playoffs to Pick or Stu and then either pick or Stu fail miserably. Then he would get the crease and he would have to play insane for them to look at him next year. Odds are Jack's done with Edmonton

He was the better goalie in the playoffs last year, which to me was a headscratcher as to why Woodcroft kept going back to Skinner. I saw him play a few weeks ago. My team was one of those 3 shutouts he got. Looked pretty good to me. I think he deserves a shot, and I think it should be in the playoffs.

[@pomerlain8924]

Yeah, that was so stupid last year. Skinner was hot and cold, Woodcroft kept riding him banking on him getting hot again after a bad performance. Campbell should have gotten the start in Game 6 against the Knights with their season on the line.

[@ColinGrym]

Jack had his bad games, and he was also undeniably blamed for bad games that weren't his fault. It's a shared responsibility situation where there's some truth and some BS (and bad puck luck like you talk about).

Now some might say each of those teams had 3 excellent goaltenders no such thing as third string. But the point stands the last 2 cups were won with teams that used 3+ goalies over the season and playoffs. I’m sure many know that Campbell had a stellar record and numbers in last years playoffs and they leads me to my last point. Timing. What goalie is hot.
