Nazem Kadri Has a Message for His Naysayers: 'Kiss My ---'

The Colorado Avalanche are the 2022 Stanley Cup Champions after defeating Tampa Bay in six games. The long list of guys of inspiring stories for this team is sensational. 2006 1st Overall Pick Erik Johnson, Jack Johnson whose parents stole millions from him, Andrew Cogliano, the list simply goes on & on. But Nazem Kadri's story of redemption is as sweet as any of the above. Labeled a playoff black cat, he had a message for his haters:

Simple but effective. Less safe for work, however. After many thought he was more of a detriment to his team come playoff time, he proved to be an immense contributor to Colorado's Stanley Cup run. Scoring 15 points in 16 playoff games, his exceptional two-way ability combined with his aggressive play drove the Avalanche up the mountain. Not to mention his huge OT game-winning goal in Game 4. He's a champion now, and no one can say jack about it.
