VIDEO: Jordan Binnington Has Stone Cold Reaction to Blues' OT Winner
By Austin Pert
The St. Louis Blues tied the Stanley Cup Final at one game apiece thanks to a Carl Gunnarsson overtime goal to beat the Boston Bruins at TD Garden Wednesday night . Gunnarsson's teammates immediately celebrated the big moment, but what kind of reaction does goaltender Jordan Binnington have?

The goalie looks surprisingly subdued after the game-winning strike, as he appears to look up at the instant replay on the video board as an assistant coach or staffer hugs him from behind. Stoic to the end.
It's a GLORIA kind of night in St. Louis thanks to Carl Gunnarsson's overtime winner!

Binnington was off the ice because a delayed penalty had been called on the Bruins, allowing an extra attacker to come on for St. Louis, setting up the shot that got past Tuukka Rask for St. Louis' win.
A spirited performance from the Western Conference champs in spite of the close score gave Binnington a light workload on Wednesday night. He only had to face 23 Boston shots, after all.
