Nazem Kadri responds to death threats and racial slurs in the best way
After game three against the Blues, Colorado Avalanche forward Nazem Kadri has been public enemy number one in St. Louis. It happened after a collision with Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington, which forced him out of the game and the series with a knee sprain.
Kadri and his wife stated that he has been receiving death threats and racial slurs since after game three from Blues fans over social media, but he silenced all of them in the best way possible.
In game four in St. Louis, Kadri scored a hat-trick, including the game-winner, and added an assist in a 6-3 win for the Avalanche, who also took a 3-1 series lead heading back home for game five. Very impressive, considering Kadri was a marked man the entire night by several different Blues players, most notably David Perron.
After game four, Nazem Kadri spoke to the NHL on TNT crew about the threats and racial slurs he had been receiving, and what he said puts things in perspective of what he's dealt with his entire life playing hockey and that there are bigger things than the game:
