As St. Louis Blues rookie sensation goalie Jordan Binnington, 25, was preparing for his first NHL playoff Wednesday night against the Winnipeg Jets, he found himself answering questions about culturally insensitive tweets he published six years.

Two of the tweets, made in 2013, were about women wearing burqas, and another, from 2014, was about a taxi driver speaking a foreign language.

"It was a while ago, when I was a teenager," Binnington said after the Blues' morning skate Wednesday at Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg. "It was a little sarcasm, joking around. You know, I was a teenager. That's what life's about. You live and learn, and you grow as a human, so I'm just here to play a couple hockey games."

The NHL will take no action against Binnington for his comments.

“We don't condone public comments that could be perceived as insensitive,” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. “But based on what we've been made aware of to this point, we don't believe there is any basis to specifically address, or even comment, on 5-year-old social media posts from a Player who wasn't even part of the National Hockey League at the time."

The Winnipeg Free Press originally published the story about the tweets.

In the first 2013 tweet, Binnington wrote, "I was thinking. when people who wear the burkas are at the airport how is the security able to see if that's them in their passport... Srsly."

In the second 2013 tweet, Binnington wrote, "Also If you're underage & nervous of getting into a bar, throw the damn burka on. no way the bouncer will get into that awkward questioning."

About the taxi driver, Binnington wrote, "Ya taxi man I'd probably rather listen to the radio than listen to you talk on the phone in another language."
