Toronto Maple Leafs: Jack Campbell’s Best Backup Moments
After the 5–2 loss Monday night against the Sharks, Jack Campbell blamed himself for the loss. The Toronto Maple Leafs do not deserve Jack Campbell.
Campbell joined the Toronto Maple Leafs on February 5, 2020, alongside Kyle Clifford in exchange for Trevor Moore.
He was meant to the fill the void of goaltending that Hutchinson left wide open. Instead, Campbell filled something much deeper than that.
Jack Campbell is the ultimate wing man, hype guy, and teammate one could ever ask for.
Jack Campbell and the Toronto Maple Leafs
After starting a game for the first time since February 15, he held the Leafs in until the third period. He stoped 33 shots as the Toronto Maple Leafs were consistently outshot 38-27, but blamed himself for the final outcome (per James Mirtle).

I found this very interesting because often time, players take time to ease into their new teams. Campbell has gone feet first into the Maple Leaf blue water and wholeheartedly embraced the team.
Which Soupy is which?
Campbell is willing to give up his Soupy nickname to teammate Ilya Mikheyev. The rookie was recently appointed Campbell Canada’s “Chief Soup Officer” and Campbell has respectfully offered to give him sole ownership of the nickname.
As many Toronto Maple Leafs have gotten the stereotype of being difficult in the dressing room, Campbell leaves his ego at the door for his teammates.
