Turned the game off after the second period. Didn't see goals 6 or 7 but a lot of the first 5 were deflected. The one he probably should have had was the slap shot. TBS, for whatever reason, Binnington just can't seem to stop anything deflected.

Regardless, omg are u kidding me? I literally cannot believe that actually happened in a National Hockey League regular season game.

That shot of Hofer's head peaking around the corner is priceless.

I actually love that this happened. Montgomery was asking and deserved to get embarrassed on national tv when he started Binnington again ANOTHER non back to back game.

When Binnington has looked like he has never played the position in his life for 80% of his starts (only 2 good games) since December 1st and an ok backup since the start of the season………….

it would be a good idea to start the goalie who has been a compete WALL for your team since the beginning of November!!!!

This feels like an Army/Monty let’s do it for team Canada thing. Hopefully Steen cans Monty because these decisions are a fn joke

Cooper decides who the goaltender is. That doesn’t even make sense.

Highly doubt Monty's going anywhere, not with 3.5 years of contract left. Plus, all the problems this team has mimic the same problems the last 2 coaches had. At some point, you have to look elsewhere for the solution instead of always blaming the guy who's not even on the ice.
