Now all Binny has to do is find Gritty on the way out of building and drop him. If he then gives him the People’s Elbow I will order my Binny 50 jersey tonight.

Better be careful though. This the city that spawned The real "Rocky" Chuck Wepner as well as Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier and Bernard Hopkins. Their on ice Goonery is legendary. With the likes of Bob Watson, Bob Clark, Moose Dupont, Kenny Linesman and Dave Schultz amongst thugs to put on the flying bullseye. Then comes the true horror Bill Cosby and Bob Saget.

Probably best to get out of there with your Shutout in one piece.

Way to go Binnington. Would love to see the never-ending goaltending search end with the least expected savior.

There is the Blaise River in Northern France...

So does Binnington start in Dallas? Berube gonna ride the hot hand?

Funny reading everyone say how Tarasenko stunk tonight until his goal. The Flyers broadcast was gushing over every play he made and saying what a great game he was having.

Brayden Senne...

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Trading Schenn helps us 2-fold. He’ll return a top prospect and trading him will ensure we finish with a top 5 pick. 2 potentially great players

Get out of here

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Hey look. Our goalie didn't give up 4 goals tonight.

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

I get Philly is bad, but now isn’t it a bad look that it took us this long to give Binnington a start?

Hard to imagine otherwise. He is interim and is literally coaching for his future gig as he knows he is getting replaced. Posting a winning record is only thing he cares about.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Thomas is far and away our best entry player

Every year our best entry players are our rookies. It’s like our coaching on zone entries actively makes the players that learn the “scheme” worse.

Goalie Controversy incoming

Allen is a one man goalie controversy.

 

[hullderko]

Glad to get the W, but my word the passing was terrible tonight and the team looked pretty slow. They should have a lot left in the tank for tomorrow.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Very good game by Binnington, we should be happy for him. But let’s not get too carried away, the guy has seen less than 60 NHL shots in his career so far, maybe let’s not anoint him the starter just yet. Nevertheless he made the saves he should have, and a few more he shouldn’t have. That’s what good goalies do, and if he does it reliably, it’s very good news indeed

Who's anointing him the starter? I've seen people say he deserves another start. That's nothing crazy or out of the question.

Yeh just a terrible year by this Forward group aside from O'Reilly, DP 57 and Thomas. I think it is past time to let ROR take over that bunch up front. Steen just isn't himself this year and Ryan seems like a good rah rah guy. Plus his play has been exceptional. At some point they have to face reality in Steen/Maroon 2019 if they are going to make that push before it is all over. Don't forget they put a lot of hope in this team and may not be willing to go down the "Tank" path. I would say it is a quarter to Midnight on any come back.

Binnington's attitude alone seals Jake's fate.

 

[Spektre]

Really fun to see Binnington get rewarded with a shutout in his 1st ever start.

 

[Spektre]

If the Blues blow up the core I’m not sure how Philly doesn’t follow sui. Their core is quite a bit older which really makes it worse.

 

[simon IC]

Great goal by Gryzelcyk, setup by Heinen! Blues lead 1-0!

Boooo!!!!!

 

[Borderbluesfan]

If Allen even slightly bobbles tomorrow night, they should start Binnington on Thursday against Montreal

They have to ride the hot goalie, Binnington should start tomorrow!! Goalie gets a shutout, he should get another game!!! Screw Allen, he hasn't shown that he deserves another start!!!

I don't think there's a reasonable chance they'll start a rookie goalie for both games in a back to back. I don't think that's putting him in a position to succeed. Let Jake have tomorrow, then go to Binnington, see how he does the next game, and go from there.

Reasonable post, I still think you play a goalie with a shutout that the team seemed to rally for and played well in front of him!!! If we come back home tomorrow and crap the bed, I have to think Jake is done as an NHL starter!!!

 

[GoldenSeal]

Allen's stats as of late, to be fair, have been pretty darn good. Saying that, we should cash it out, package him up with a 2nd and get some depth help. Whose with me?

Binnington's attitude totally changed the morale out there today. This team was not the Blues I have seen most of the year. For that reason alone I'd deep six Jake the first chance we get. It's not even the fact that Bings got a SO on his first game, either, it's how the team played around him. They looked alive and hungry.

If we all agree that the Tank Is On, having a rookie netminder between the pipes will help that along, if not and Binnington plays like a real Starter then we're back in the fight. Jake's had his shot and it's apparent that, while he has his moments, he shouldn't be our guy and we shouldn't settle for less in goal. Time to move on.
