Kadri gave the Avalanche the lead with his first at 4:07 and Toews scored 19 seconds later to make it 3–1. We had some pushes, but not nearly consistent enough to win a hockey game.” “Naz’s focused, he’s a big boy, he’s a tough guy, and he’s a resilient guy,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. Colorado did not score on the two-man advantage, but Kadri buried his second goal moments after it ended to make it 4–1. “We got outskated for most of the game 5-on-5,” Blues coach Craig Berube said. “As a home team and a home player, you want the fans on your side and heckling the other team, as long as it’s within the guidelines. “I felt so good for him. ... I think he liked being the villain tonight and he certainly stepped up for us.” “I tried to do that as best as possible. “I wanted to come out tonight and really put a mark on this game, especially after what happened,” Kadri said. We got outskated. It was his first career playoff hat trick.

Avalanche vs Blues Game 4 score: Nazem Kadri's hat trick gives ... (Fox News)

The Colorado Avalanche beat the St. Louis Blues 6-3 in Game 4 of the second-round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Monday night to take a 3-1 series lead.

I’ve got no issues with that and I know what was said isn’t a reflection on every single fan in St. Louis. I understand that and I want to make that clear. "As a home team and a home player, you want the fans on your side and heckling the other team, as long as it’s within the guidelines. I was able to strike early in the second period and was able to get the mojo going." "I wanted to come out tonight and really put a mark on this game, especially after what happened," Kadri told reporters after the game. "I tried to do that as best as possible. The Blues managed to get within one goal of the Avs but another goal by Kadri and an empty-netter by Mikko Rantanen in the third period would end any chance of a comeback.

3 Takeaways From Avalanche's Game 4 Victory Over Blues (The Hockey Writers)

Nazem Kadri scored the first playoff hat trick of his career, silencing St. Louis and putting Colorado on the brink of winning the series.

The goal gave Colorado a 4-1 lead and was their fourth in a span of 4:53. Kadri also had the second goal in that surge. It was his first postseason goal since May 5, 2019, and only the fourth of his career. The goal kicked off Colorado’s buzzsaw of four goals in the span of 4:53 to take a 4-1 lead. Devon Toews isn’t the first name that comes to mind when thinking of the high-powered Colorado offense. Brayden Schenn got in his face right off the opening faceoff, and he was targeted by a tackle from David Perron and a cheap shot cross-check from behind from Pavel Buchnevich early in the second. The win gave the Avs a 3-1 lead in the series.

Avalanche's Nazem Kadri receiving threats following collision with ... (The Athletic)

The Avalanche organization is “aware of threats made toward Nazem Kadri” following Saturday's game and is working with local law enforcement to investigate.

On-ice officials did not assess a penalty on the play, and the league did not hand out any supplementary discipline Sunday. Binnington suffered an injury on the play that will keep him out the remainder of the series. Kadri and Rosen fell into Binnington, and the three went sprawling into the net.

Watch the Colorado Avalanche Vie for the Stanley Cup at These ... (Westword)

These sports bars are the best places in Denver to watch hockey — including the Av's 2022 playoff run.

There's no dearth of televisions on which to watch an Avalanche game, and the fans who watch at Stoney's are engaged yet chill as they drink in goal after goal — and, maybe, hard kombucha after hard kombucha. Sobo 151 is a Czech-owned sports bar, making its food and drink offerings unique, with an entire section of the menu dedicated to Czech fare you might not find elsewhere. It's got plenty of food and drink to keep the fun going all night, including a late-night happy hour from 10 p.m. until close so that Avalanche fans can ring in a victory with discount drinks, or comfort themselves after a loss, with the knowledge that at least their beer cost $1 less. It's connected to the Ice Centre at the Promenade, with several tables overlooking one of the rinks there, making it the perfect place to get in the mood for some hockey. Although this Irish pub is best known in the sports world for hosting Liverpool Football Club watch parties no matter what time of day the Premier League club plays, it's a good place to catch an Avalanche game, too. (Others could be seizing the chance to watch the Avs games at home, which they often can't do in the regular season when Avs games broadcasted on Altitude TV are hidden from most local customers thanks to a dispute with Comcast.) Regardless, here are some recommendations for sports bars to hit up and show your team spirit:

Keeler: Avalanche center Nazem Kadri got last laugh on St. Louis ... (The Denver Post)

David Perron and the St. Louis Blues aren't interested in beating the Avalanche anymore. They're only interested in hurting Colorado center Nazem Kadri.

All that’s left for the Blues is the handshake line. Last spring, the Avs showed that they couldn’t get to the conference finals without him. The last laugh was his. Cripes, probably for the postseason. He’s done for the series. Because Binnington limped off the ice and was ruled out for the series. “It was about creating a spark.” It was about thuggery for thuggery’s sake, under the guise of revenge. “Especially with a hockey game.” It’s about class. But here’s the thing: Perron wasn’t done. Kadri entered the ice Monday in St. Louis with police officers perched above the Avs’ team entrance.

The two teams will meet for Game 5 at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Ball Arena. Then, as Kadri was trying to get up, Perron then jumped on top of him and the two slid into the boards by the St. Louis bench. The incident occurred at the 5:30 mark in the second period.

And because we still don't know a thing about the people who did. If you want to take the opportunity to speak your mind, and give your feelings on it and opinions on it, great. But people always turn the no comment into that you don’t care or that you’re not empathetic. But Bednar did not let the emotions of this series get the best of him after a Game 4 win gave his team three chances to beat the Blues once. But I don’t think you are obligated to comment on everything because people want your opinion on it. Bednar defended Berube, perhaps in part because he remembered he also no-commented the threat topic Monday morning before Game 4. It could have been easy to do so, considering a couple of the questions he fielded in his post-game press conference. Do you think he made a mistake by not trying to diffuse it? They skated into his trap, responding to his shove of David Perron with a rebuttal that landed two Blues in the penalty box, a sequence that helped set up on of Kadri's three Game 4 goals. “That’s not a reflection of St. Louis fans. In case you were asleep beneath a rock, Kadri's involvement in a Game 3 collision with Blues defenseman Calle Rosen and goalie Jordan Binnington prompted much debate about whether the play was clean, or the latest on Kadri's list of over-the-line moments. The Blues, after talking a lot about not letting Kadri get in their heads, couldn't help themselves.
