Chirping is as much a part of hockey as stick-handling or scoring goals. Colorado's Nazem Kadri is an expert and getting under opponent's skin with his action and his words. In Colorado's 6-1 win over Buffalo Tuesday night, Kadri got ruthless with Buffalo's Brandon Montour.

As the two teams got in a scrum behind the net, Kadri can he heard clearly telling Montour he's a "sh---y defenseman on a sh---y f---ing team". Check it out.

It would be hard for anyone not to take a chirp like that personally. Especially someone on the Buffalo Sabres, who have been struggling badly this season to the point where both Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart have both called out themselves their teammates on separate occasions. But, that's hockey. It's definitely not for the easily offended or the faint of heart.
