Clearly everyone associated with Team Canada hasn't read this forum to find out what a terrible goalie Binnington is. Lol f-ing amatuers

They don't have to read the forums, just look at his stats, or watch a game. But you are right, appeal to authority. Last refuge of an untenable position. I forgot you'll always have that cherry to fall back on.

I also love how you're not like. Oh no, Binnington's great. He'll totally put up good numbers. Love the confidence, making excuses already.

It's a good thing when the Blues can finally move on, we don't have to select a Canadian goalie without beef with Cassidy. Gives us more options for good goalies than Team Canada had.

Professionals have the same view as many of us do here. They know better than to look at a stat sheet to determine if a goalie is bad or not.

I wonder what the excuses will be when he puts up a .800 save percentage behind a Team Canada defense that doesn't even have Pietrangelo for Blues fans to blame.

I was thinking when he puts up .930 save percentage, people will attribute it to a superior D.

There's so much variance from year to year with goalie numbers that there has to be so many other factors influencing them. It's not like these guys' abilities change that much from year to year. Bobrovsky was considered a joke for years before he helped lead the Panthers to the Cup. Did he just forget how to play during those years, or was he stuck playing for crappy Columbus/Philly teams most of that time?

The fact that two average goalies in Halak and Elliott put up the best numbers in Blues history tells me all I need to know about how accurate statistics are at judging goalies. That's why I said it's hard to judge a goalies abilities unless the team is playing well as a whole. If your goalie is playing badly on a good team, then you've got a problem. Ask Colorado and Edmonton about that.
