News Article: Byfuglien Article [RE: his thoughts on Kane]

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Any chance that it wasn't so much that Kaner hated Winnipeg, it was that he didn't get along with his teammates?

I know what you mean, but he was still rude in public. Also things seemed to work well in Atlanta.

What we see as him not liking Winnipeg, they likely saw as him not liking their team.

Potato/potato.

Some people say there is no "I" in "TEAM".

The Jets had an "I" in their "TEAM" and decided it best be removed.

 

[SLAYER]

If they ever made a movie of the incident, perhaps calling it the 'Kane Mutiny'

who would star as Dustin Byfuglien? Forest Whitaker?
Evander Kane? Will Smith?
Paul Maurice? Bryan Cranston?

Shaq would revive his acting career for this one

Reads like a grade 3 report, but very interesting.

Know your audience

It was a good article but this part was a little much

He’s the smiling giant, standing in the middle of a Winnipeg classroom with children clinging to linebacker legs looking up to catch his every word.

Does Gary actually mean a Winnipeg classroom as in the reading takes flight program or is he using this as an analogy to describe the Jets' locker-room as little Nic Petan or little Toby Enstrom cling to Big Buff's massive tree trunk like legs?

Zing!

He’s the mad photo bomber, always looking to get in on the action when a teammate is being interviewed or photographed.

I like the Chevy trade. Packaging him with Bogo was a brilliant idea - got a couple of good roster players and some futures. It was more complicated and might have taken a bit more time, but turned out fine.

I don't disagree, but it's possible it could out even better. But we can move on now, old news.

I love that one & laugh every time I see it. Applies to Kane real well I'd say.

I wanna know Lawless' source on that 302 lb claim, I just don't believe it. You can't gain 42 pounds over 3.5 months while playing over 1000 minutes of professional hockey, it's just not possible. I'm pretty sure he's basing that claim on a hockey buzz rumour from an insurance salesman and that's just cringe worthy

 

[Jets4Life]

I knew it.

Buff is a hero for paving the way for the Jets to trade that locker room cancer. We should resign them, and make him captain, if Ladd goes elsewhere. Buff is the heart and soul of the Jets.

What's the big mystery about "the shower incident?" Kane was a jerk who nobody liked and he showed up to a team meeting in his track suit (again) which got thrown by the only other dude on the team who could get away with it into the drink causing him (Kane) to be traded. There's no mystery...unless you think specifics like who said what to whom are significant.

the rumor that Kane left the arena literally in tears would be fun to have confirmed...

 

[Jets4Life]

Kane is not only an overrated hockey plaer, but he is also a coward. Saying that he would like to drop the gloves with Ladd or Wheeler speaks volumes. Kane is terrified of Big Buff, and even though they despise each other with great intensity, Kane would fake an injury and sit out, rather than dealing with the consequences of his actions (i.e. drop the gloves with Byfuglien).

didn't look much of a coward on the ice to me. I guess not many cowards would KO Matt Cooke in their rookie season.

 

[AlphaLackey]

My understanding of HF Boards rule is that I am still not allowed to cite first person experience with Evander Kane himself in a social setting, nor am I allowed to cite second person experience with Kane from numerous friends in the industry.

All I can say is that this article:
A) corroborates everything I have ever heard and witnessed about the two agents in track-suit-shower-Gate,
B) sets an EPIC standard of journalism of Gary Lawless,
C) reinforces in me now that we have at every step of the way had valid statistical, ethical and moral right to say that we won that trade with Buffalo.

 

[Klinger]

If a Kane vs Buff movie doesn't star Kevin Hart and Craig Robinson respectively, I'm not watching it.

Danny trejo as buff

Danny trejo as buff

Haha! I was thinking Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.

 

[winnipegger]

OK clearly the actors should be:

Lawrence Fishburne as Byfuglien

Don Cheadle as Kane

Daniel Day Lewis as Paul Maurice

hello oscar

p.s. Eric Bana as Ondrej Pavelec

 

[buggs]

Haha! I was thinking Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.

Curious, I was thinking Danny DeVito.

 

[Gm0ney]

Evan Peters as Trouba?

 

[Shakey Rustie]

I used to think the most interesting player on the Jets to sit down and have a beer with was Slater.

Now I think it would be Byfuglien.

If you had visited the Whiskey Bar in Osborne you may have ran into Slater once or twice during the two seasons he missed significant time due to injuries.

 

[Koonta]

Peter Dinklage as Toby?
