St. Louis Blues players go after Nazem Kadri
Game three between the Colorado Avalanche and St. Louis Blues was filled with controversy after Nazem Kadri collided with Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington. Binnington was forced to leave the game and did not return, and now it's reported he will be out for at least the rest of the second-round series.
Kadri announced that he received multiple death threats and racial slurs sent to him over social media from random people after the game.
The bad blood between Kadri and the Blues flowed over into game four as well. After a clean hit from Pavel Buchnevich on Kadri, the Avalanche forward and David Perron ran into each other while both were going for a change. Then, Buchnevich cross-checked Kadri down, and when he got back up, Perron decided to do the same, for basically no reason.
Both Perron and Buchnevich were the only ones given penalties on the play, and Colorado got a two-minute-long five on three. To make matters worse for each other, Kadri scored his second of the game to make it 4-1 right as the penalties expired.
Perron even went after Kadri right after he scored:
