Wonder if this just happened or has he been trying to play through it which might explain his poor play?  I seem to remember a player sort of running into him last game but didn't seem that bad.

This is where Kallgren gets his unanticipated opportunity, gets on a hot streak, takes the net into the playoffs and wins us the cup then disappears by mid November next year

I'll take it.

Addendum: Can ALL PLAYERS who are playing like absolutely garbage stop trying to play through injuries in meaningless regular season games.

If Campbell has been playing banged up and can get healthy.  Great.  It means his fall off the cliff is just due to stupidity instead of lack of ability.  But at the same time, he should have been sat down weeks ago if that is the case.
 
What is our health and athletic science dept for, if not to stop these things from getting worse?

I know the cap implications might be an issue if it's like... Tavares for 6 games; but it's playoff series win or bust season.

Playing hurt is too ingrained in the culture. It's like going to work sick. It needs to stop, but it requires a real shift in mindset across the entirety of North American sports.

Hmmm.

Campbell's stats in the 10 games prior to this incident: 8-2, .951 Sv%

Campbell's stats in the 10 games after this incident: 7-2-1, .894 Sv%

I'm not really convinced that something like this would entirely explain Campbell's issues over the past 3-ish months, but could certainly have played a role.
 
Funny timing but while we're on this topic, looks like Freddy learned his lesson about this:

Keefe throwing some cold water on this idea but I'm still going to believe it because it makes me feel better.

Sounds like the makings of new Tragically Hip song. Too bad Gord?s no longer around to write it .

My suggested D-pairings post-trade deadline:

Rielly - Brodie
Graves - Lyubushkin
Muzzin - Subban

Thoughts?

I realize Sandin isn't in here, but first injury (Muzzin) and he's in.

ok.. after a trade of Holl and Dermott.. in some form.. and picking up a top 4 defender...
  Reilly  Brodie
  Muzzin  Player X 
  Sandin Lybushkin/Lilligren

As an aside, it's sometimes mind-boggling how we throw around the fact that Matthews might hit 60 goals. It's only been done 27 times in the entire history of the NHL by 14 players (if I counted right).

Looks like 39 times by 20 players (link), but yeah still obviously crazy. Has only been done twice since the 95/96 season (Ovi and Stamkos). Hopefully he pulls it off.

Also Ovi and Stamkos had both only ever been on pace for 60 goals once in their careers. Matthews has two where he's scoring at a 64/65 goal pace.

forgive me. I have COVID AND I used nhl.com for the stats.

This looks amazing, up until the very end, and then... Engvall?
