I love Binny, but he was complete (donkey) in the first. That second one he looked completely unprepared for that shot. He never even went into the butterfly just threw his blocker out.
I get he's (upset), but get your (A female canine animal, especially a dog) (donkey) out of the clubhouse and get on the bench when the 2nd period starts.
It's as much a middle finger to your teammates who constantly defend him as it is to Monty.
Umm.. Butterfly don't do shizzzz when it's by your blocker. Just an FYI. Outta position is a a dif story. Blocker side is the hardest save IMO as it is such an awkward movement and with holding the stick doesn't allow for full movement. Again - positioning helps with blocker saves, and why glove saves can look amazing, but not blocker saves.
I get that, but my point is he wasn't ready for the shot at all. He appeared almost surprised by it. I mean how many shots do you see stopped with goalers on their skates? I'd say less than 5% even shots to the blocker side.
FYI guys, replay showed that both Ducks goals were tipped by Blues players. Fowler on the first, and Faulk on the second. It's no wonder that he was upset at being removed. He didnt have a chance on either.
The first one was, but I didn't see the second tipped by Faulk even after 2 or 3 replays. Even then he wasn't ready for it, he wasn't in position at all.
I defend the hell out of Binnington constantly, but he simply didn't have it tonight.
Monty will likely be much faster with his hooks from here on out as we have seen these types of games avalanche from there when they look that bad on the first two goals.

The second one was tipped too. I just watched the replay. In my opinion it may have been Montgomery just thinking we can't afford to get behind 2 or 3 goals and just not liking what he was seeing in Binnington. If they were a few games over .500 I'm sure he would have left him in there.

I've watched it a few times, but have kinda moved on. I never saw a tip, and Binner wasn't squared to the shot in either case anyways, so still kinda not worth the trouble defending it. He's back on the bench after blowing off some steam, he'll get his chances again soon, but Hofer is looking extremely confident right now and we need points.
And we've fallen right back into the same old habits of looking for grade A chances when we'd probably have 4 right now if we just threw them at Husso. He is so deep into his net that it's a recipe for disaster, and we've gone back to how we played 2 weeks ago where we refuse to shoot until we've passed it 4 or 5 times.
How can a team so sloppy in just about every passing attempt continue to keep trying to overpass and ignore opportunities? Why are they skipping easier exits to make more difficult plays? So much easier when they simplified, and it's the same old habits again.

Man this team is so frustrating to watch.

My thoughts exactly. If we can see it as so obvious you think they could see it.
Every outlet pass is like watching a Doug Williams screen pass. Why the fudge do they pass it do hard? There's no way a player can corral those passes. When they soft touch it, its to far ahead or right into the players skates. This is unreal...
