Their guy for last year for sure, not so much this season. He was just average, even Allen had better results than him other than much less starts. Especially in the playoffs, Allen played like an NHL goalie at least, where as binnington was playing like a echl goalie. I was hoping they start binnington for game 6, knew they had to go with their guy and lose together. Was Gucci Allen might e forced it game 7,and Idk if canucks woulda pulled through

Doesn't really matter what they did in the regular season.

Binnington won them over last year and Allen has been given umpteen chances and eventually failed every time. When push comes to shove, like it did in this series, they don't believe in Allen and nobody can blame them for that.

If this was true, they wouldnt have even looked a binnington though lol. He failed them hard in the playoffs, not just against the Canucks. Allen had 1 bad game, not like binny 5+ times. If they completely ignored last year and the regular season, no one in their right mind would've played binnington, based on his performance.

I also agree that Allen was given a ton of chances in the past, and he proved that he's a good 1b at best. I'm just saying im glad they stayed with their guy to go down with, rather than choosing for their best odds of winning

But I and most people disagree that allen gave them the best odds of winning. First off, binnington was the only blue who even tried during round robin. He made highlight reel saves just so we could lose 6-3 instead of 10-3 if allen was in.

Allen isn't the guy and he will never be the guy. He's most known for giving up a shitty goal at the worst time possible, not to mention the difference between he and markstrom in game 5 was the reason the blues lost. Allen was bad in game 5 and his spark had faded.

Id be much more pissed knowing we went with allen and lost than going with the guy who actually has the ability to carry, even if he played like shit in the series.

Maybe binnington is a one hit wonder. He wasn't bad last regulsr season and had a bad 3 games vs the canucks, but i don't think those 3 games are enough to judge. I do however think the last 5 yrs of Jake allen are enough to know what he is.

Tarasenko getting 3rd shoulder surgery....

Its safe to assume he may never be the same player if/when he can get back on the ice

Shitty, our 1 real gamebreaking offensive talent is having the prime of his career wrecked by shoulder issues.



Well we have cap room now, but a glaring need for a goal scorer

u ok bro?

Yea its rough

Army is a good GM but I think he's picking the wrong hill to die on when it comes to extensions to aging players. That hill should've been faulk or even schenn

Fuckin torey Krug for 7yrs and 6.5mil. I dont get it. We had enough defenseman that even if we knew petro was gone, we didn't need anything there. Were very short at forward.

Add in the fact hes a lefty version of faulk, and consider me disappointed.

Ever since we won the cup, I feel like all of armstrongs big moves were wrong. The faulk extension, schenn extension, scandella extension, letting petro get to free agency, and then the desperation to sign a PP specialist to a deal not much less than petro


I can honestly see us as a non playoff team next year

The mess army created with faulk is killing us, because now he's trying to put a bandaid on a gaping wound and we're gonna be mediocre and capped out for years to come
