[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1797928, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/benjamin-hochman/hochman-why-blues-jordan-binnington-cannot-have-a-prolonged-slump-this-season/article_17ced735-01cf-5c26-a7b1-9028c155ffe5.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/Benjamin%20Hochman']Benjamin Hochman[/URL] Looming behind Jordan Binnington at the Blues’ practice rink is a huge photo of Jordan Binnington. It really is an amazing image, among others from the night they won the Cup. You see Binnington’s back. His hands are pressed against the glass, as if he’s high-fiving a fan’s hands on the other side. And the fan’s mouth is wide open. He’s probably cheering. But it looks like he is in true wonderment that he’s actually this close to the instant St. Louis sports hero. At every practice, the photo is a subconscious reminder of what Binnington was — and could be again. Now, believing in Binnington is like being a believer in Bitcoin — you have faith it’ll pay off, but it can sure be a bumpy ride. If Binnington’s 2021-22 had ended on April 1, his season would’ve seemed like one big joke. That night, he allowed four goals on 13 Edmonton shots. His record was 13-13-4 and his save percentage was a disappointing 89.9. “I really got to feel the not-so-good part of the NHL,” Binnington said. “I’ve got to use that experience to my advantage — that's something I take away from it.” Sure enough, he salvaged his season. He won his next five games (with a respectable 92.4 save percentage). And then, he came off the bench in the playoffs and resuscitated St. Louis against Minnesota … and thrived until the infamous injury to his knee against Colorado. [/QUOTE]
