Another controversial play involving Nazem Kadri could force the Blues goalie to miss the rest of the series — and also sparked a bottle-throwing incident.
Kadri, 34, was suspended eight games in last year’s first-round series against the Blues for an illegal check to Justin Faulk’s head. While with the Maple Leafs, Kadri was suspended during the first round of both the 2018 and 2019 postseasons.
“Look at Kadri’s reputation. That’s all I got to say,” Blues coach Craig Berube told reporters after Saturday’s game. The Avalanche’s Nazem Kadri collides with Blues goalie Jordan Binnington during Saturday’s first period.Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Kadri’s reputation “doesn’t mean anything” and that it was “a legal play.”
Binnington, who led the Blues to the franchise’s first Stanley Cup three years ago as a rookie, wasn’t St. Louis’ starter when the playoffs began, but he took the job back from Ville Husso in Game 4 of the first round, earning his first playoff win since the Cup-clinching victory in 2019. While Kadri was discussing the play on the TNT postgame show he paused at one point and did a double-take to his left. “Not sure if he just threw a water bottle at me or not,” Kadri said of Binnington.
