Gregory Campbell suffered a broken right fibula in last night’s double-OT thriller against the Penguins after laying down in front of a rocket from Evgeni Malkin during the penalty kill. If that wasn’t ballsy enough, Campbell wobbled to his feet and continued to successfully fend off the Penguins’ power play. Soupy put the team on his back with a broken leg. Meanwhile, I’m out of commission for a few days if I trim my toenails a little too short.
Inspired by the scrappy fourth liner’s toughness, Bruins fans and admirers began using the hashtag #ImGregoryCampbell to show how they’ve emulated No. 11.
Had Sean Avery on our team. #ImGregoryCampbell

The Bruins announced this morning that Campbell will miss the remainder of the season. Get well soon, Soupy.
