Hofer played very well. Buffalo outshot us by a lot.

Blues play shorthanded on D; Mailloux isn't a NHL caliber Dman and Fowler is Leddy 2.0

This guy is a gamer. No chance on 2 of the 3 with the other being a snipe/deflected shot inside the post, above the pad below the glove

Monty will probably play Binner next because Hofer gave up 3

Hofer was great tonight. I'd expect Binnington to get the start against the Avs. As well as Hofer is playing you need Binnington and he plays well against the Avs.

If you want to give your team the best chance to win then you start Hofer (and Kessel over LM).

If you want to try and find confidence for players or hope things go well then you start Binnington.

Binner will get his start this weekend with back to backs

Playing Kessel for mailloux isnt going to move the needle. Hofer is officially the #1

Yes Binner will get one of the back to back. He's also not played in what over a week. He plays better with rest and he plays well against the Avs. It's a game that everybody pretty much has down as a loss. I'd go with Binner on this one.

Hofer has been good.

But just drunkenly stupidity or drunkenly personal to publicly call hofer the number one, because Binny is in a Slump.
That's not done for any other position and wasn't needed for this. Unless the [shirt] attitude was the only point.

You look like a fool. I'm betting you are a sock to one of our true fans. A weakling, momma's boy, balls on the shelf type who can only act tough on the internet. Cause you are afraid you'll get slapped. Loser

Same thing I heard over and over about Mikko and Walman 100 times around here.

He made a mistake pass (as did snugg) and played a +1...his progress is undeniable.

Hofer is playing well, but he has to figure out what he’s doing with the puck. He’s having to make great saves because of his errors with his puck handling and it happened two or three times again last night. He has his Dmen completely lost. They didn’t know where to go in order to get the puck. One time he passes it to them, the next time he’s behind the net trying to stickhandle around two forecheckers and gets pinned behind the net. It’s an adventure every time he leaves the crease.
