Nazem Kadri is a Stanley Cup champion and he wants the world to know it.
The dust has settled on the Colorado Avalanche’s Stanley Cup victory but the celebrations are just beginning. Thursday marked the Avalanche’s Stanley Cup parade through the streets of Denver, where the team celebrated its thrilling victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning with its fans. And what a parade it was!
During the parade, Avalanche fans noticed Kadri, his family, and some other players wearing some unique shirts to the event. The shirt in question? A simple one, with a picture of the Avalanche celebrating above the text “too many men”, in reference to the overtime goal Kadri scored in Game 4 that was called into question by Lightning head coach Jon Cooper.
Nazem Kadri ladies and gents.
I asked him if someone gave this shirt to him, and he said he had it made.

What an excellent level troll that is. Of course, the goal Kadri scored that was under the microscope did count and was a good goal, but when you’re at the top why not poke a bit of fun?
The brilliant shirt design comes from Twitter user — and Avalanche fan! — @guffychan, who made the shirts for Kadri at his request!
Did I make them or did I make them? Thanks @43_Kadri for letting me design these for you https://t.co/WIlhWoRf9l pic.twitter.com/rphGIm3JxM

Here’s hoping fans will be able to buy them in short order.
What a Stanley Cup Final for Kadri too. From scoring that important Game 4 overtime winner to telling his haters to “kiss my [expletive]” after winning the Stanley Cup, Kadri is on top of the world and it shows!!
The fans love #StanleyCup champion @43_Kadri!@Avalanche | @AltitudeTV pic.twitter.com/krOctuLOVd
