I think at some point it just became in fashion around the league. I don't mind the crazy asshole routine when he's stopping pucks. Apparently he's got a hearing for last night, which is insane to me. I think they're just bored in the department of player safety since there are so few headshots anymore.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

If Army can get this team good again, we got a nut case that can take us all they way to the Cup again.

Get it done Doug!
We need to stop comparing Binnington to crazy hall of famers. He's much more of a crazy average-ish NHL goalie with wild inconsistency. He's more of a Robin Lehner before he got off the sauce.
You just described Eli Manning who won 2 Super Bowls. Overall average-ish regular season QB but a 2 time Champ.

Goalies have traditionally been hot heads... you want that... not some pussy like Ryan Miller hiding behind his big hat.

Ok you went polar opposite now. Also, Binner's insanity seems limited to the ice. Have some respect for a Cup winner!!

I just like when the Blues goalie stops pucks! I enjoy goalie fights and antics. 2019 Binner was great, I miss him. The defense is obviously trash now, but Binnington has not really helped much. I don't mind the craziness if he's playing well. He's not.

I just want a goalie to stop pucks. Whatever mindset helps them do that is fine with me. Seems to me his crazy factor has increased in a 1:1 ratio with his play and the team D slipping overall.

He leads all goalies in penalty minutes and that's what matters!

In a conversation about personality, I'm not sure I'd ever expect someone to describe Belfour and Eli in the same category.

Peoria Rivermen
Chicago Wolves
Kalamazoo Wings
Providence Bruins
San Antonio Rampage

Those are Jordan Binnington's minor league stops. He has had to fight and claw his way up through all of that. He's a fighter and a survivor and I love that about him. He's not the best but when it really means something he's always given 100%.

I really respect what he's done. And you gotta love the madman angle. 😄

I'm talking about on field performance, not personality traits. Not a great QB, not a HOF player, but a guy that won 2 titles. I wouldn't put it past Binner if he ever pulls it off again down the line.

That's right, the crowd wanted. The NHL needed it. The game needed it. The players needed it. Juice it up and the refs diffused the whole thing. They never ever, ever, ever get it right. If they did the George Costanza method and took the opposite of every decision they made, the league would be better for it.
