Canadian hockey player Jordan Binnington and his wife, Cristine Prosperi, were over the moon after the country’s hard-earned victory over the US. The hockey world lauded Binnington’s masterful performance against the US and so did his beautiful wife, Cristine.
Connor McDavid’s goal might’ve won Canada the game against the US, but it was Binnington, who kept them alive.
Many doubted Binnington before the game day. Calls for Logan Thompson and Mackenzie Blackwood to start over Binnington were mentioned, but Jordan silenced them all.
Binnington faced 33 shots and stopped 31 of them. Canada went on to win 3-2 in overtime with McDavid’s goal.
After the game, Binnington said, “As an athlete, as a competitor, there’s always going to be that doubt, and you’ve got to use that as motivation and find a way and believe in yourself to get the job done.”
