There's no question Nazem Kadri has a well-deserved reputation in the NHL. Although he seems much quieter than usual this season, the former Leaf and current Avs forward has not shied away from some questionable plays in the past. Friday night, it appears Kadri was a victim of his reputation.

With just over a minute left to go in the third period, Kadri was pulled down Minnesota's Ryan Hartman. Hartman was given a two minute penalty for holding, while Kadri also got two for embellishment. Kadri would also get a 10 minute misconduct for arguing the call with the referee. From the look of the replay, he had every right to be upset. Especially considering Colorado should have been given a powerplay while down by one goal with just over a minute left. Check it out:

Minnesota was up 5-4 at the time and would go on to win the game 6-4. The reaction on Twitter was swift, with many expressing total disbelief at the call.

Even former player Brandon Prust got in on the action.

We're not saying Kadri would never embellish on a play, especially in a situation that could be highly beneficial to his team. That sure doesn't seem to be the case here, though. It appears Kadri got two minutes for being Nazem Kadri and not much else.
