Jordan Binnington on throwing water bottle at Nazem Kadri: 'I felt like it was a god-given opportunity'

The series between the Colorado Avalanche and St. Louis Blues is over but the bad blood is still there.

The Blues held their end-of-season media availabilities on Tuesday and goaltender Jordan Binnington was asked what was going through his mind when he tossed a water bottle at Nazem Kadri after Game 3.

“I went to get my knee checked out mid-game and I was coming back to the rink,” Binnington said. “The game had just ended, I was walking down the hallway and couldn’t find a recycling bin on my way down the hallway.

“Right before I walked into the locker room, I saw [Kadri] doing an interview, smiling, laughing, and I’m there in a knee brace, limping down the hallway. I just felt like it was a god-given opportunity. I could stay silent and go into the room or I could say something and have him look me in the eye and understand what’s going on.”
