It’s playoff time in the NHL, which can only mean one thing: time for some Nazem Kadri drama. For the umpteenth time in his decade-long NHL career, the veteran forward has become the main character in a playoff series. This time around, the Colorado Avalanche winger has taken center stage in his club’s second-round matchup with the St. Louis Blues, a tense battle that has seen Kadri go from villain to sympathetic figure, to hero. And, as it happens, his heroics have Colorado on the verge of clinching their first trip to the Western Conference Finals in 20 years.

Good non call, regardless of reputation.
You don't win cups, without a guy like Kadri. And there's not a team in the league who wouldn't sign him in a second, including the Blues…
This guy needs to do his research a little better. A lot of those suspensions he got were super excessive and inconsistent. Kadri is a 1 man Army facing Gary Bettmans racist NHL agenda. Guess which player is kicked out of the face off circle the most in NHL history? That's right, Kadri. That is no coincidence. The NHL treats Kadri differently for simply being different
Stupid take though. Do better research, especially from a fellow Arab.
Pretty ignorant take here
This guy's voice is so unusually high
Voted the most passionate player in the nhl, really really works for his paycheque!
St. Louis fans can see their racism met with a gentleman's sweep. That's how you shut em up.
Score board, bitches!
I am the number one Blues fan who loves the Blues more than anyone and I know more about hockey than any other Blues fan and I can unequivocally state Kadri was only trying to go for the puck and tried with all his might to stay away from Binnington, but the Blues defenseman forced him to collide with him. He probably said that Kadri had to do it or else. Also, every Blues fan is racist and does death threats, so Kadri was justified to do it.
As a Blues fan that represents our entire Blues fanbase, I hereby absolve Kadri of all wrongdoing. Anyway, let's not talk about hockey or Kadri's reputation, that has nothing to do with this. The Blues deserved it, they are all racists.
He’s a centre not winger
He’s still a villain not sure what this title is about
I'm a Blues fan Colorado will Linda's at home no more games St Louis
Kadri's wife's Twitter account got some of the messages. I'm sure she was very scared, I would be.. It was a hockey play, I have seen the same play but worse on Smith (Edmonton) Calgary series. Also the Rangers vs Carolina series. What if it was another Avs player, I believe game 2 Nichushkin got 2 minutes for goalie interference. Berube and Crazy Binnington are jerks they started the Blues fans on this terrible move but in Berube words 'No Comment'..
The good news is the Blues players can do what they really want. Get out of St Louis and spend some time in some place nice.
Blues are just dirty team kadri hasn't done nothing wrong they just try to make excuses to play there dirty game
As a Leafs fan i always root for Naz. I miss him and so did the leafs this post season. SO MUCH INTESITY. That said.. there was nothing dirty about the play that injured Biddington. What came after by St Louis is deplorable. Also.. can we stop pretending that a 5k fine means anything to these guys? Fines are not punishment.
Kadri is part of Avalanche folklore now with that game! this isn't the deepest run for my Avs in however long you said. they've lost in round 2 for 3 straight years. hopefully it will be the deepest run
Kadri is a player who is constantly suspended for dirty plays and has received multiple warnings from the league about diving. Sorry if 2 goals aren't enough to change my mind about him.
Not so fast 🤣🤣🤣
They finished 1st and 4th in the Western Conference, NOT 1st and 3rd.
Kadri is a parasite.
He’s nails. Gotta love’m. Canadian hockey warrior.
Looks like “Naz” got a taste of his own medicine from my Boy KANER taking no prisoners !!
Maybe don't use the same background music as Jalen & Jacoby.. it's very apparent.
