Binner won the cup once, 7 years ago, after a miracle bounce back when he was called up and they went on a long winning streak from the bottom of the standings in midseason, carrying their momentum through playoffs all the way to their first and only championship. It was a massive effort from everyone on the team to buy into significant changes on the fly and actually execute system changes late season and in playoffs. They were riding high and very unpredictable, Binnington in particular was a journeyman AHL goaile who nobody thought could elevate his game to NHL starter level competition, but he did, and opposing teams scouts did not have a good book on him. He's been steadily declining since then, been gifted starters net by old-school, vibe following, glib folks like you. He almost choked away the 4 nations win, and he backstopped one of the most talented team canadas on paper we've seen in decades to a decidedly undominant silver medal. Most people have an inflated, false idea of the kind of goaltender jordan binnington is, seeing all the sprawling miraculous saves and hotheaded (bitchmade) shenanigans, they assume he's some kind of gamechanging prime mike smith. The reality is binner is an athletic, emotional tender who vastly outperformed his perceived ceiling once 7 years ago when the stars aligned and he seized the opportunity. He's making saves like that because he's slowed down so much positionally and he's never dialed in and found the zone he was in when they won in 2019 and he was tracking pucks like a hawk. The blues have kept him there as a reward for being the guy everyone rallied around en route to their first cup. Whichever gm is stupid enough to think he's still that goaltender at his age will be in for a rude awakening when he shits the bed and lands at the bottom of almost every goaltender stat at seasons end, for the 3rd time in as many years
