Nazem Kadri got the last laugh once again.
The Avalanche center — who returned to the lineup after a thumb procedure — scored the overtime game-winning goal in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning that left Bolts head coach Jon Cooper nearly in tears.
Cooper’s emotion wasn’t because Tampa Bay lost the game, it was how it lost. At the time of Kadri’s goal, the officials seemingly missed a too many men on the ice call against Colorado.
Anyway, the Avs went on to win the Stanley Cup and stop the Lightning’s chances at a three-peat.
The Avalanche held their championship parade Thursday in the streets of Denver and were met with a sea of fans cheering them on, but no one (probably) was having more fun soaking in all that comes with a Stanley Cup than Kadri and his family.
The Kadris decided to have a little fun with a “too many men” shirt that was proudly worn by Kadri and his wife Ashley Cave.
After the threats Kadri faced from Blues fans during Colorado’s Stanley Cup playoffs series against St. Louis, he deserves to celebrate however he sees fit.
