The Colorado Avalanche bizarrely have a five-day hiatus between games after playing just two on the season. Sports radio, 104.3 The Fan, were also bizarre today — they suggested benching Nazem Kadri for the upcoming game against the Boston Bruins.
Their rationale is that the center has a contentious history with the Bs. Last postseason, he incurred a five-game suspension for “delivering a dangerous crosscheck to the head,” in this case to Boston forward Jake DeBrusk.
The previous year, he received a three-game suspension for for boarding then-Bruin Tommy Wingels in the first game of their playoff series.
