Edmonton Oilers fans were taken aback on April 1st when they discovered that Jack Campbell was set to start in goal against the Anaheim Ducks that night. Many supporters were initially skeptical, thinking it could be an April Fools' prank due to Campbell's recent lackluster performances.
Every single comment on that tweet was asking: 'Is this an April fools joke?'
Nevertheless, it was not a joke, and Campbell was indeed given the starting position in a crucial game for the Oilers. If they secure at least one point in this match, they will secure their spot in the upcoming playoffs.
Oilers fans are hoping that Campbell can find his groove before the playoffs begin in a few days. The team will be relying heavily on their goaltender to perform at his best during the playoffs. Although Campbell's form has been inconsistent lately, he has shown flashes of brilliance throughout the season, and fans are hopeful that he can tap into his potential when it matters the most.
While April Fools' Day is typically a day for pranks and tomfoolery, it's essential to keep in mind that not everything is a joke, especially when it comes to hockey.
