Dubnyk makes fun of Binnington after his meltdown over getting pulled

Jordan Binnington of the St. Louis Blues was not happy about being pulled from his net Saturday night after letting in four goals. As he was leaving the ice, Binnington got into it with Radim Simek of the San Jose Sharks, pushing Simek before making his way down to the other end of the ice. On his way, he pretended to throw a punch at San Jose's Erik Karlsson before moving on to fellow netminder Devan Dubnyk, throwing a punch at him before the officials separated the two. Binnington was given an unsportsmanlike penalty for his efforts. Check it out:

Following the game, which the Blues won 7-6, Dubnyk said he could understand Binnington's frustration.

"But I don't know why he's skating around pretending to punch guys like he's ... I just told him to get off the ice, calm down. He's 160 pounds. He's out there swinging at guys like ... we all get frustrated but ... if you want to get into it with somebody, fine but I don't know why he was out there fake punching everybody," said Dubnyk.

The Sharks Evander Kane also got in on the fun post game.

"I guess he'll have something to report in his next interview," Kane said. "Seems to do a lot of talking. Too bad I wasn't on the ice for that."

Sharks' coach Bob Boughner was easier on Binnington than some of his players.

"The refs handled it right," Boughner told reporters. "They gave him a two-minute penalty and I thought it was handled well. I guess it was just unsportsmanlike."
