Binnington was furious as the game devolved into chaos, and he didn't like what he saw from the Avalanche goalie, who threw some blockers at Blues players. The linesman kept Binnington back, and this storey will continue in the next game and throughout the series. 'Binner' is notorious for having a short fuse, so it'll be interesting to see if the Avs try to exploit this.
The remainder of the series will see Avalanche forwards buzzing around the crease, attempting to throw Binnington off his game. The Richmond Hill, Ontario native made 46 saves in game one to save the Blues from being blown out.
