He has played really, really well. But Sportsnet has gone into overdrive on Binnington.
I hate Sportsnet and can't believe we still have to suffer their coverage for the next 7 or 8(?) years.
An example... Laine drills Perron against the boards. Do they praise Laine's physicality, which he's been criticized for before? No. Do they note how much his game has evolved in the last couple of months, especially in the playoffs? Of course not. Do they suggest that Perron was tired, which is why he staggered back to the bench? Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Only Sportsnet could turn a big Laine hit into Perron being tired.
