ST. LOUIS — Without coach Jared Bednar, Nazem Kadri flies off the handle, past Elon Musk and straight into orbit.
Without Bednar, the Avalanche’s volatile center melts down in Game 4 the way an ice cream cookie does on an August picnic table.
Only two things stood between an angry mob and Kadri at the Enterprise Center last week: Plexiglass and Bednar. Colorado’s bench found itself surrounded by a forest of Blues fans extending middle fingers of friendship. And those were the nice ones.
