Colorado Avalanche forward Nazem Kadri had a message for his critics yesterday.

"For anyone who thought I was a liability in the playoffs, you can kiss my ass."

The Ontario native also mentioned that he had several fractures in his thumb. He said that following his surgery, his six-week recovery turned into two weeks.

A real warrior!
