He does this thing.
He's in the goal crease, his face hidden inside his mask, and after a close call or a big save or even just a stoppage in play, Blues goalie Jordan Binnington will quickly stick his neck forward and pull it back. Perhaps it could be classified it as a neck "turtle?" It happens really fast, maybe it's a calming mechanism after some on-ice chaos? Or just an old habit. But for Blues fans, it's also a signal _ it's Binnington motioning: "I got this."
Perhaps I'll ask him about it next time I see him, but of course not sure when that'll be and, furthermore, Binnington isn't the most sharing of pro athletes. In a way, that's how his legend grew. He was sort of mysterious. This Roy Hobbs who showed up. His postgame interviews _ and pregame interviews, and after-practice interviews _ sort of became a shtick. The goalie purposely saying and revealing as little information as possible, while still complying and answering the reporter's question.
