You could see it after that Perron goal, they needed a goal to have the confidence!

For real, can someone tell me what this Tweet business with Jordan and the Winnipeg media is about? I tried looking it up, but everytime I click on a link for the story it says I'm not authorized to enter. Must be subscription based. Can someone please fill me in, I've been oblivious to the lead up to tonight?

I don’t know if any of you have seen Bozak’s wife Molly on Twitter but she’s awesome. Those two are always welcome in STL.

I think they were trying to psych Binny out, but it quickly became obvious that the Winnipeg media is terrified of him and our guy proved why tonight. Strong team, strong win. Long Live The Note!

Great win! The Jets came out on fire, as is to be expected at home in game 1, but it’s clear a big bodied team like that can’t keep that up for 60 minutes. Once they slowed down we took over.

When we reached the 4 minute mark I texted my buddy and said ‘This one’s not going to overtime’ because you could just feel the Blues buzzing and I felt confident we’d bury one late.

What can you say about Jordan Binnington. He completely erased any worries I had about him on this stage. He is stone f***ing cold. ‘There’s your answer’, indeed Binny. You’re the man.

Accused him of being racist for making a burka comment vs their picture in their passport. Funny it came out the day of game one...

The Cliff Notes version: Some San Jose Sharks "reporter" who is from Winnipeg, spent 2 hours last night digging through Binnington's Tweets and found 3 Tweets from when he was 19, talking about a Taxi driver talking on his phone in a foreign language instead of playing the radio, and questioning how TSA screens people wearing a burka at the airport (at the time Canada was debating whether to ban wearing them for photo IDs) and the "journalist" claimed he was racist.

The tweets are pictured on Page 1 of this thread: Winnipeg newspaper attempts a hit piece on Jordan Binnington ahead of Game 1, resurfacing old Tweets

I think just as much as it was them slowing down, we also really upped our game after the Perron goal went in. We were just a little bit off and the team felt a little bit nervous until that first goal went in, then suddenly we were playing like the team that won 11 in a row.

Well Blues have done their job right out of the gate. They at least split it in Winnipeg.


I just love this. Leading up to tonight, it seems people forget the Blues have missed the playoffs once since 2010. This is the Jets 3rd appearance...they better remember that, they're the rookies

Going forward, the team needs to find their asshole. Winny wants to act like the weak Broad Street Bullies so pull a Steen and go full...

Wow, a racisim accusation is pretty desperate already, it's gonna take more than false accusations to get under the skin of "Do I look Nervous" Dong Energy.

Seriously though thanks for the explanation.

All Blues quotes have to be in this format now!

After Perron scored I finally calmed down, the rest of the game was really enjoyable.
I just can’t here to post this. Still laughing about that interview. I think the guys are a bit pissy with the Winnipeg media after how Binnington was treated. And Binnington is talking like he’s being fed lines from a media handler now.
