That is true, but at some point in this BEST on BEST tournament the goalie has to prove why he has here

so far from what I've seen binnington is here because he knows how to play the puck, but he can't stop the puck.

He somehow is still living off of that 2019 run almost 6 years later

I dont give a shit about binnington. He doesnt matter, if the players do what they are supposed to do, he isn't a factor.

 

[TonsofPuppies]

...how the F**K does ANYONE in Team Canada's management/coaching staff think HasBeenington is THE GUY??...how many SOFT F**KIN' MUFFINS does this guy have to let in before we go to Hill??...

That whole shit show at the end started because Binnington just decided to give Finland a goal for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Just like he let Sweden back in with a shit goal in the first game and totally deflated the building against the US after Canada's great start. The guy is a complete momentum killer.

 

[Fatass]

Too late now. Should’ve started Hill today.

Good point. Canadian selection group (and coaches) hitched their wagon to Binnington. Huge mistake, obviously.

 

[featherhawk]

Canada has no chance with Binnington in net against USA

This is true, Binnington has not earned the net at all. Hill should play.

 

[albator71]

The Americans are gonna choke hard on Thursday, Canada is gonna win just we won in 2002 in SLC. Americans always choke in championship game. Canada knows how to win gold medals.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Should’ve started him today.

Yeah, its too late to change the goalie now. Its the final, Binnington is the guy like it or not.

They should have let Hill play one of these games.

too bad the goalie didn't do what he was supposed to do, but i guess in your eyes he isn't a player

its not too late.

Binnington is capable of beating Canada singlehandedly

 

[Bixby Snyder]

just like we got smoked on Saturday? It was a one goal game until the last few seconds. Dont get too cocky

yeah, sure buddy.

 

[Sheppy]

Binnington can't make it easy, can he?

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Binnington is capable of beating Canada singlehandedly

...should've figured he was a Double Agent...

 

[Erikfromfin]

No chance vs North Americans... better luck in Milano. GG

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Let me guess, Hyman + Bouchard = Canada is undefeated and dominates every game?

No, we need more lightning players to shutdown the game

 

[D Wakaluk]

Binnington will start the next game, not sure he finishes it

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Make Marchand - Bennett - Konecny the 3rd line for the final.

I would have chosen Robert Thomas over Cirelli. Cooper treating Cirelli as if he's Bergeron

He's a huge factor. Canada was outchancing the US 3:1 when Binnington gave up a softie to tie the game.

If any shot has a chance to go in, no lead is safe.

 

[FinPanda]

Granlund is Leijonat legend

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Binnington will start the next game, not sure he finishes it

Oh he's gonna finish it alright

 

[domiwroze]

I closed the game with 8 minutes left, almost missed the choke of the century.

 

[Oilslick941611]

too bad the goalie didn't do what he was supposed to do, but i guess in your eyes he isn't a player

it was 6 on 5 for a prolonged time and Canada couldn't clear the puck. Goals were going to happen in that situation. It wasn't a good show for Binnington but you can't be in those situations, full stop. If Canada kept the pedal to the floor and pushed in the final 10 minutes none of this happens. Who knows if Canada was gassed, or it was a coaching choice to sit back and play the clock. the lesson is play whistle to whistle until the buzzer and Canada didn't do that.

 

[New User Name]

Always liked Finland.

As for Canada, not feeling very confident we beat the Americans on Thursday.

They're deeper and obviously better goalie.

 

[Bleedred]

...how the F**K does ANYONE in Team Canada's management/coaching staff think HasBeenington is THE GUY??...how many SOFT F**KIN' MUFFINS does this guy have to let in before we go to Hill??...

I don't even think he's a has-been. I think of him as a never-was or a one hit wonder.

He's kind of like Jose Theodore, which will probably piss off Blues fans. I can see them already.

''HOW CAN YOU SAY HE'S JOSE THEODORE? HE HAS A CUP! JOSE THEODORE NEVER HAD A CUP!''

Fine.

But Jose Theodore won the Vezina and Hart that year. That was an absolute ANAMOLY in regards to his career. He was not a perennial Vezina candidate, he never came close to being in the Vezina conversation again. Yeah, he had some other good seasons here and there, but that was by far his peak and an extreme one.

And Binnington is kind of the same way, only he won the cup instead of the Vezina and Hart, which does that mean more than a Vezina/Hart? Yeah, it does. But Binnington's 2018-2019 season was the anomaly the same way Jose Theodore's 2001-2002 season was. Binnington had another solid season or two in his career, but he never showed he was gonna be in the Vezina conversation, I think he's only won one playoff series not in 2019.

So I think it's an appropriate comparison.

Jose Theodore did play for Team Canada in tournaments, but he was behind both Brodeur and Luongo.

 

[sadpanda]

I was right. Binnington was our chance….. and.. Granlund > Mcdavid
