CALGARY - Back in the day, it was assumed every goalie was a little crazy.

Think of a netminder like Gilles Gratton (aka Grattoony the Loony) who said his abdominal pains were the result of injuries sustained while a soldier during the Spanish Inquisition.

Jordan Binnington, one of the three goalies on Canada's world junior squad, isn't that far out there, but has a quirky side to him.

Just check out the Twitter feed from the Owen Sound twineminder (@binnnasty).












The Vancouver Canucks should replace ex-coach Alain Vigneault with...
  Guy Boucher.
  Lindy Ruff.
  Andy Murray.
  Jacques Martin.
  Brent Sutter.
  Don Hay.
  Other.
