Muslim NHL player Nazem Kadri threatens to slit the throat of opposing player

The NHL's hockey operations department is taking a look at Nazem Kadri's throat-slashing gesture towards Mark Giordano after the Flames defenceman dazed Kadri with a hit in the first period of Tuesday night's 4-3 Calgary win at the Saddledome. "There was emotion, I couldn't tell if it was a clean hit or not," Kadri told reporters. "I was told it was, but it certainly didn't feel like it. It [the throat slash] is something I don't really remember doing. I was in and out a little bit."
