Why is Kadri out? I'm sure the Bruins want some pay back after the playoffs. |
MacKinnon and Crosby get a lot of attention as buddies (maybe because of their Tim Hortons ads), but I never hear Marchand mentioned. The Avs are definitely fourth on the list of favorite Denver sports teams, though, so who knows.
Kadri got hurt Wednesday on his return to Toronto. Lower body injury and listed as day to day, but they didn't send him back to Denver, so it must not be anything serious. When the trade was made, we heard a lot about his playoff suspensions. Everybody here is hoping that's just a thing between him and the Bruins. So far he's been exactly what the Avs wanted: anchoring the second line and adding scoring depth to take some pressure off the top line. Since 2/3 of the top line missed 16 games in November, he's been especially important.
