Banackock 8,044 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 When he first joined the league, Blake Campbell was a name that quite a few people were familiar with. He entered like a summer storm, clanging and banging and coming on quickly. He carried on this way for multiple seasons, Completing a majority of his tasks, training like there's no tomorrow and showing the league that he could potentially be the next big thing. However, as of late, things have changed quite a lot. Blake Campbell has been seen slacking at team practices and hasn't been putting in the effort like he used to do. Of course, over the course of ones career it is normal to see one's motivation die down, but what is the story behind Campbell's die down? This morning, we spoke to the young guy at his beach house in Stockholm where he gave us the whole scoop. VHLN says: You started off hot. Likely as one of the top rookies from your class. What has caused you to slow down? BC Says: Everyone gets busy in life and I think that's the case for me As a player, you have a lot of things to focus on - especially as a goalie. First, there's you. You need to be the best you can be and that takes a lot. Then, you need to focus on your team and what their needs are and where they're at as a team. For me, I just got busy and I'm still in the process of figuring everything out. Will I return to what I was? It's extremely doubtful, for right now anyway. Would I like to? Who wouldn't. VHLN Says: This season, you've really brought a decent level of playing to Stockholm. With a record of 44-15-5, a save % of .917 and the only goalie to have a GAA below 2.00 - what do you think is the best reasoning for your great play? BC Says: My team. It always comes down to the team that plays in front of you. I mean, yes, it has a lot to do with me too because If I suck, they suck. That's not overly the case though. The boys I got in front of me play solid almost 100% of the time and throughout our locker room is a crazy amount of elite talent. I'm extremely fortunate to be apart of this organization and have a feeling if things keep going and we stay loyal, it will be our time shortly. VHLN Says: I do believe you're right. I suppose we got time for one last question before we let you continue on with your sun bathing and drinking of your jack and coke. For this season, who are your top 3 goalies based on play? BC Says: Hmm, good question. I guess I'll start with 3, go to 2 and then give you my #1. For 3rd, It's tough and between Sinclair and myself but I will give myself the benefit of the doubt. Reasoning behind this is due to the fact that I'm the only goalie in the league with a GAA below 2.00, have a .01 better Save % and have more minutes played as of now. For second place, I'll give it to Mikaelson. He's had a hell of a season and this may piss him off not being 1st, on a much weaker club than myself. Honestly, he's close for deserving first to some maybe but there's one guy who largely stands out and that's Winsgate. You look at his 1st, 2nd and 3rd star placing and it just goes to show that this guy is extremely important to his club. Not to mention his organization is fairly weak, yet he manages to post huge numbers. He's why his team is where they are. VHLN Says: Thanks Blake. BC Says: One love, brah.

CowboyinAmerica 2,889 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 He literally only has like 1 thing slightly better. Save percentage and GAA, you've got shutouts and wins. And each one of those categories is pretty damn even. Really wish I hadn't crashed the way I did down the stretch, but it's pretty much a toss up based on what each voter's criteria is.
