Truly hope the best for this guy. He’s a talented goalie but it’s apparent that he can’t get out of his own head.
I’m rooting for Soup!
You’d think being free from that Oilers contract/media as well as being closer to home would have put him in a good spot mentally.
I really expected this or worse last year when he couldn’t rebound in the AHL.
Just like Sammy, loved the person, wanted more out of the player. Hope they can both be well and continue their careers.
The Edmonton Oilers broke him.
Take a guy that got to live and play in LA, then Toronto, and then put the weight of the world on him in, of all places Edmonton. Getting peppered by McJesus and McDrizzy every day in practice probably wasn’t good for his confidence either.
That’s right, McDrizzy
Noooo. Get better soon
Heard through some mutual friends that he has been struggling with alcoholism. Hopefully Soupy can bounce back.
Whatever it is, I hope he takes the time to get healthy.
Watching Jack have success as a starter with the leafs after being a backup for so long was great. He’s good guy and a fantastic teammate.
That’s honestly so sad, he seems like such a sweet dude
All the best to Jack
He struggled with the booze even while here in Toronto … so not surprised.
Wish him all the best
🙁 Hope he’s alright, rooting for him 🙏
I love soupy. I hope he gets whatever help he needs and comes back.
Campbell was my favourite goalie in the Matthews Era, such a unique and genuine personality. He had one of the best comeback stories in recent times and seemed like such a great fit for the Leafs. It sucks that the last few years have been particularly difficult for him both professionally and seemingly personally. I’ll always be rooting for him, and chanting Souuuuuuup after every save he makes.
So sad to hear this news. I wish there was some way to let him know that we’re still cheering for him.
Wishing soup the best
Oh man, this sucks. I hope he can get well.
Red lobster and ginger ales are on me jack. Get better bud.
