Kadri is back in the Stanley cup final Avs line up. It’s debatable whether he is more practically useful to his team than the next man up because of his injury. But he’s definitely more emotionally useful to his team displaying to everybody that he’s will doing to do whatever it takes for the team to have success including getting surgery and returning to the lineup at less than 100%. The motivation underpinning the actions of all involved in Kadri’s case (one we’ve seen on so many occasions throughout the nhl playoffs historically) is the essence of two way hockey and why the game must be played this way for everyone involved.
