It's been a little while since we've seen Jordan Binnington lose his cool and granted, it's likely because his head coach, Craig Berube, told him to tone it down and focus on playing.

During Wednesday's game between the Blues and Wild, Binnington was back at it with his usual antics. After allowing three goals in nearly two minutes, the Blues called a timeout and on his way back to his net, Binnington had some words for the Minnesota bench.


Just over four minutes later, the Blues tied the game up at 4-4, but the Wild re-gained the lead just a minute after, as Ryan Hartman put the puck past Binnington to make it 5-4.

After he scores, Hartman skates in front of the Blues net to go celebrate with his teammates and he bumps into Binnington, causing all hell to break loose. Binnington then jumps Hartman as the scrum begins, before Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury skates down the ice to fight the Blues netminder. Fleury dropped his glove and blocker, but was quickly grabbed by the linesman, who didn't allow the two to fight each other.


Cooler heads eventually prevailed and the officials decided what penalties were being called, with Binnington receiving two-minutes for leaving the crease and a match penalty, while Fleury was handed two-minutes for leaving the crease. For his part, Ryan Hartman was given two-minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct.


Should the officials have let Binnington and Fleury to go at it? Have your say in the poll below.
