Czech are out-playing Canada.

Binnington keeping them in the game.

Man, this kid Celebrini makes stuff happen. What a great experience for him to learn from the studs in that locker room!

I hate Stone, but that was a great goal! And what a dish from Marner.

Fast freaking game.

Bud, it wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up being one of Canada’s best players in the Olympics. Man is he fun to watch.

The Binnington-haters aren't very happy now.

Binnington putting on a show so far with five minutes left in the second period.
It helps to play with a lead too

I am not sure how a Blues fan could root against Binnington here. I want him to win, I want him to inflate his trade value, and I want many interested in him come the deadline.

This happens literally every freaking time.

Blues suck, 90% of the fans blame Binnngton. Binnington kills it in olympics, world cup of hockey, all other international play OH and in the NHL playoffs every time he plays and people wonder how anyone could trash the guy.

It's almost like the Blues are just a bad team. Crazy.

the ole reddit canada base is in shambles. Lots of people were hoping for a high scoring game that they won so binner would get the bench. My guess is tho, binner will have a less than stellar next performance. and might not turn it back on until the medal round. He's definitely prone to having normal games after a great one. EDIT : thats assuming a softy or 2 doesn't go in while he has the lead.

This just shows what Binnington can do with a defense in front of him.

Kind of the same thing as a quarterback in football. A good defense is like a good offensive line. But even the best QB can look pretty poor if he plays behind a bad offensive line and spends all game under pressure.

Hope he finishes off the shutout. It's been dificult (perhaps painful is a better word) to watch his starts of late, but I have to admit, I've seen a lot of deflection and point-blank shot goals when he gets the net. Hard to understand how anyone could consistently be so unlucky but he seems to find a way.

Yes, we want HIGH TRADE VALUE Binner!

I just don't see the Blues being able to deal Binner for anything of value. Who currently needs a goalie that hasn't already traded for a goalie this season?

Teams that would want a dialed in Binnington for a playoff run -- Oilers ( Jarry ? give me a break), the Canadiens and depending on health -- Vegas. Toronto without a run seems to be sellers.
