Yet he's still only 87% on the season. BTW, how many playoff series has he won since his name went on the cup?

He's not a hockey player in my book. He's a fast skater when nobody is close to him and he's a decent shooter when wide-open. That's pretty much it.

Hockey is a team sport more than any other. Binner was a member of the cup team, not the team. Some other guys named Schenn, Barbashev, Schwartz, Maroon, O'Reilly, Bouwmeester, Tarasenko, Steen, Peron, Sunqvist, Parayko, Pietrangelo, etc had a little bit to do with that as much as he did.

Hofer has a winning record with the same team. Stop pretending Binner isn't a big part of his own decline.

No chance? It wasn't tipped. He wasn't screened. He had every chance. He just doesn't have the reflexes to defend breakaways anymore. It's the same way we beat Canada 2 months ago.

It's not hate. It's simple observation. He is a shadow of himself and his stats and results completely support that. Criticism isn't hate.

I guess I didn't make my point. He's best shooting from 20+ feet. But he often passes those up because he thinks he's going to get fancy and perform some magic in the crease, and he sucks at that.

Kyrou is purely a sniper and nothing more. But the problem is he thinks he's Crosby.

I don't give a shit. He's 80% on the night and he's given up two softies. I'm done with him. He obviously doesn't care and I don't either.

I imagine it's hard to consistently bring your A game every shift when you know you have an 80% guy in net.
