A championship team is tough to beat in every aspect of the game, be it offense or defense. You can have the best offense and defense around, but it’s all useless if the right man is not placed between the pipes. Fortunately for the St. Louis Blues, Jordan Binnington has risen to the occasion and then some.
Earning that starting spot was not easy for Binnington, to say the least, especially since the way that he came in was to help out a struggling Jake Allen near the midpoint of the season.
That was the definition of a high-pressure situation, and he was expected to deliver results and deliver them quickly.
