Oh man, Markstrom isn't even gonna get the softy of the night. Trent Frederic had a really sweet one on Binnington.
By the way, to say Binnington is overrated is just false, because nobody actually thinks he's really any good anymore. His contract STINKS and he's basically just been above average at best for a lot of his career, other than his rookie season. Last year was a doozy and early returns on this season are yet another doozy coming up.
The only misnomer about him is that he was ''Really good on the Blues road in winning the cup''. He was really not good, he had one of the worst GSAA's among cup winning starting goalies in the last couple decades. Not as low as the Francouz/Kuemper combo last year or god forbid 2009 Fleury, but definitely worse than 2014 Quick, as well as 2010 Niemi, who people still talk about as one of the ''Weakest cup runs for a goalie ever''.
No, it was not, 2014 Binnington (as well as a few others) were definitely worse.
Binnington's 2019 regular season was GREAT and might have saved the team's seasons, who were dying out there with Jake Allen as the starter, but he was of little thanks in the playoffs that year.
He wasn't awful or even particularly BAD, but he was below average.
