If any goalie has had Ice Water in his veins in these Finals, it's gotta be Binnington.

Hard to forget he was a god damn rookie too. 

 

I think Game 3 cost him the Smyth. Outside of that 1 game, he was as damn near perfect as a Goalie could be.

And if the Cards faced the Tribe in the World Series, would that count too?

If the Cardinals faced the Indians in the World Series I would pick the Indians over the Cardinals. As a Reds fan i would rather pick the Indians over the Cardinals. Its the lesser of two evils.

As long as there are idiots with headdresses and red face paint in the crowd, I’ll take any team over the Cleveland baseball club. Even the Dodgers.

That's why I think Binnington deserved MVP. 

Boston came out swinging and Binn blocked every single one of them.  He lets even 1 though, and I think that changes the whole momentum of the game.

Binnington doesn't deserve anything. The Blues' defense carried him, not the other way around. 

I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

The SoG say otherwise. 

 

He had a .914 save percentage in these playoffs. That's legitimately one of the worst save percentages for a cup winning goaltender ever.

That's mostly because of the egg he laid in game 3. 

Nearly all the other games he was a lockdown as a goalie could be when his team needed him. 

 

Bruins lost because even when they dominated possession & zone time (like tonight) they still couldn't get a damn thing past him.

4 goals in one game does NOT results in in a .914 save percentage over two months of hockey. He was good when they needed him to be, but the defense prevented a lot more problems than you're giving credit for. I lost count of the number of goals the Bruins missed out on where Binnington left a wide open tap home that a defender swatted away from the offensive player.

Do you know the origin of Gloria?

 

Are you actually asking the origin of the Blues using Gloria or the origin of the song itself? Or are you asking this intending to reveal something that will make us have to cancel Gloria or Laura Branigan?

 

If you're asking why the Blues used it and you (or anyone else) don't know the story, a handful of Blues were at a private club in Philly watching the Eagles and Bears playoff game, yes the Double Doink game, and the DJ would play music in-house during commercials and some guy at the club kept yelling "Play Gloria!", so the DJ would. The Blues players took it from there and decided it should be their post-game win song and I guess it spread to the arena music from there.

Please can someone do a full length documentary style post on this?
