The Colorado Avalanche suffered another loss, this time at the hands of the New York Rangers. It was not a pretty loss. They just didn’t show enough passion, enough, heart, or enough will to win.
Most of them didn’t anyway. One player showed plenty of heart and passion — and a whole lot of grit. That player is Nazem Kadri. The Canadian center came over from Toronto, and he came with a reputation. Granted, part of that reputation was getting suspended at inopportune times, but all of it stems from standing up for his teammates.
