St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington was the victim of a dangerous hit from Nazem Kadri in Game 3 against the Colorado Avalanche. Binning sustained a knee injury on the play, and despite Kadri claiming the contact was accidental and that he had been pushed, it seems Blues players don't exactly believe the Avs forward. Brayden Schenn was among those to voice their doubts over Kadri's apology, stating that he thinks Kadri knew what he was doing, via Jeremy Rutherford.
Here's Schenn and Bortuzzo on whether Kadri knew what he was doing on the play …
Schenn: "You know what you're doing, yeah."
Bortuzzo: "You ask any player, a guy like that knows what he's doing there." #stlblues

Speaking on Kadri's intentions during the incident which forced Binnington to retire from the game early, Schenn said, “You know what you're doing, yeah.”
His comments indicate that Blues players feel Kadri intentionally made the hard contact with Binnington, who had been enjoying a tremendous series in the cage for St. Louis. Kadri indicates he was pushed by Blues defender Calle Rosen, however, Schenn doesn't think that was the case.
Schenn on whether Kadri's play was dirty: “Um, you know, I just think from his comments, he said that he got pushed and he’s behind our guy (Calle Rosen), so I don’t know how that makes sense. But we’ll move on and worry about winning a hockey game.” #stlblues

“Um, you know, I just think from his comments, he said that he got pushed, and he's behind our guy [Calle Rosen], so I don't know how that makes sense,” Schenn said via Rutherford. “But we'll move on and worry about winning a hockey game.”
The Avs and Blues are set to meet again in St. Louis on Monday for Game 4 of the series, and it's believed that Binnington will be unavailable for the matchup after sustaining the knee injury. Ville Husso will likely be called upon to start in his absence.
Expect a fiery Game 4 between these two sides, and don't be surprised if Kadri is the victim of some big hits from Blues players throughout the night.
