I said 30+ earlier, so i agree.

Vrana is gonna be a STUD

Send the linesmen to prison. When they get there, throw them in the hole.

How or why is Fleury still in this game when he left his crease and went to the other crease?

And then pour concrete over em and build another prison on top of them

Wow... that was a lot of stuff

I looked that up thinking it was an auto-eject too BUT any goaltender that engages in a play past the red line is subject to a minor penalty, thus giving us the 4 on 4

The Blues need to get good again quick. I can’t have these shit win nothing franchises like the Wild mocking our team on the ice

Nice move by Kapanen! Too bad his shot wasn't as good.

7-4 Wild

Both Sunny and Reaves have goals

Bring back the tradition.

I want to lose but not like this. We are a laughingstock

Our goalie who may actually be more insane than Patrick Roy is the only one with fight

I've been screaming we're a team of pussies all year.

Buchnevich is so underrated and underappreciated. He was off-balanced, starting to fall, and still rifled the puck by Fleury, into the lower left corner, for his Hatty! A special player. I'm so glad Army didn't shop him at The Deadline in The Blues' fire sale.

He’s imo the best all around player on the team

Roy stopped pucks though.

I left after it was 3-1, so I missed everything, but I saw your clip and I agree, I’m a little pissed at the refs here. Can’t believe these little refs can hold back a player and contain them but they do. But we as fans, and the NHL in general needed this event. Pure highway robbery. Would have been great.

Hey I never said he is Roy, I just said he’s more insane

On national TV too! It would’ve been amazing. Getting Binner out of the initial altercation is fine but there is no reason for the linesman to go so far to stop two very willing players from throwing fist.

Even Panger was yelling let em go! Everyone understood the moment except those two asshole linesmen. I want them paraded through the city streets where we all throw tomato’s at them

I am fucking blown away that those linesmen worked so hard to stop that fight. Absolutely blown the fuck away. Why?? I have never seen that happen. Fleury skated 175 feet for it, and the linesmen are… I don’t even know what they were doing, what they were thinking, or why. I hope they never work another fucking game again, I know that. Absolutely ridiculous. Shameful.

Jordan Binnington = Ed Belfour

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!

The Binnington hate out there is a riot... so many hurt butts

The timing may support my fan-theory that word was passed down to the on-ice officials about discussions during this week's NHL GM meetings, addressing how to maintain safety among the players during fights after clean hits. From this ESPN article ... "One touchpoint that drew attention before the meetings was how to best police retaliatory fights after clean hits. New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba is just one example of a player who has delivered proper -- if painful -- strikes on the ice and then been forced into defending himself from the target's teammate in an ensuing scrum.

Although it's often hits against star players that draw the most ire from fans and coverage by the media, the GMs' expanded conversation this week went beyond [that to include] how to protect everyone on the ice, not just top-tier skaters. The other implication with fights and hits in general is how they're interpreted in a broader sense, something GMs and players alike are sensitive to. ..."

Whenever something looks "Absolutely ridiculous" in hockey these days, just tug on the Player Safety thread and it's likely to unravel the mystery.

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.
