Why is Binnington sitting tonight?

Montgomery pulling an Olli Marmol who goes out of his way to make sure none of his players can go on a hot run.

We FINALLY get a good goalie performance and win after so many [shirt] shows... but no, God forbid one of our goalies goes on a run.

I am already so over Montgomery.

I hate to break it to you but Binner didn’t play yday so his hot streak is already over.

FYI, your argument is so dumb.

Uh... wat?

I thought Binnington would start for sure. Monty is making some odd decisions in net this season.

They played the same last night as Saturday. Two goals. Who’s in net is irrelevant. Hofer played well enough to win. The issues are on the other end of the ice.

Yeah that save percentage of 85% last night sure helped the Blues to a win.

Bold: Absolutely right. Rangers score on 2-1, deflection in slot and 5-foot shot on undercovered player in front of the net. He made big saves as well.
Italics: Again, absolutely right. As others have said, Blues play with little urgency or passion most of the time. Scoring on a breakaway (Schenn this game, Neighbours previous) early in game would have helped the cause.)
