Nazem Kadri Has The 2nd Most Impressive Hurdle In Sports This Year
When it comes to dudes jumping over other dudes, nothing will top Saquon Barkley's reverse hurdle from earlier this year. Simply the most outlandish hurdle one could ever dream of.
However...Nazem Kadri at least deserves to be in the conversation here. Because while he could never pull off what Saquon pulled off against Jacksonville, I can also guarantee that Saquon could never pull off what Kadri did right here.
JJ Moser on Tampa Bay toe picks and goes sprawling across the ice. Kadri hops over him, gets tripped up on Moser's arm, is able to spin himself back into balance, and tosses that one in the back of the net.
Drops to his knee, is still able to use his edges to get back up to his feet, somehow gets the puck on his stick, and lights the lamp. My assumption is that Saquon Barkley can't really ice skate to begin with. But at the very least, he's not doing anything even remotely close to that out there. It might not get the same recognition on every national show for the next week. We may not make a shirt about it. But let the record state that Nazem Kadri is right up there in the Hurdle of the Year race. Sick puppy.
Flames lost 8-3.
