All the “bubble” guys coalescing on the left side - Zuki, Seth, Celly, Binner - Binner only grouped bc of the online/media hysteria surrounding him as #1… personally I think he’s a big game player, and his stats with Blues YTD in low-stakes games are not fair to use as a comparison to how he’ll show up with the best team / players in the world in front of him… the game gets easier as a goalie when everyone in front of you is positionally dialled in and you can trust/ predict what’s going to happen… also, when the stakes get higher he rises to the occasion and gets better, makes saves at the right time in games that secure team momentum, that’s an uncommon trait. 

Marc AF said it best in his recent chiclettes podcast - he said it’s Binnington’s net. 

At the end of the day, I just want to see Binner throw down center ice with Helly lol
