St. Louis Blues' Jordan Binnington challenges Justin Bieber to contest, pop star responds
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}St. Louis Blues goalkeeper Jordan Binnington wants to put Justin Bieber’s hockey skills to the test.
Binnington challenged Bieber to a contest earlier this week daring Bieber to score on him. Binnington said he will give Bieber 10 breakaway chances against him and if the pop star scores on him then he will dye his hair platinum blond.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Stanley Cup champion’s challenge came after Bieber posted a video of himself scoring a backhanded goal in a friendly game. Binnington’s comment received more than 2,100 likes.
Bieber responded Wednesday, saying they should put $10,000 on the line and, if he scores, Binnington will have to donate the money to a charity of his choice. Bieber also suggested filming the one-on-one.
