Kane has been all over the news the past few days by calling out Jake Paul about fighting him after the Nate Thompson fight.

Jake's older brother Logan responded to Kane by challenging him to a fight also.

And in other news that goes into the same category of water is wet. The reaves brothers and kane are bickering on twitter also.

Kane i swear if you get yourself hurt fighting that jackass....
Yeah, I have a feeling this is never actually happening because of some "activities outside of the league with high risk of injuries" clause I assume NHL contracts have.

Kane is such a disruptive person when he does this nonsense.


This is a double edged sword though. If you don't have any guys with this fire you get called soft and passive. Then when you have a guy that mouths off he's disruptive? I have zero issues with his personality as long as he can reign it in when he needs to on the ice. Off the ice who cares? Talk all the sh*t you want.

Highly, highly, doubt it ever happens, but it would definitely be good for the sport of Kane gave him the Matt Cooke special.

Probably true. But I have nightmares about any of our top six missing games for extended periods.

I do find his social media presence to be pretty stupid overall if I'm being honest. He's pretty bad at talking trash. But like you say, he can talk all the shit he wants.

It's fine. Entertaining as well. Kane is going a loooong time between hockey... needs something to occupy his mind/time.

This will obviously never happen, but hell, still the most interesting sharks news in months. Evander Kane: getting us through this long long offseason the best he can.

Because I can see it already with some skirting, indirect comments:

This thread will not turn into another discussion on race-related issues surrounding Kane and his treatment by fans/random people/whoever. Because we've already proven that those threads do not go well. Because we can't have nice things.

The moment it does the thread is done. So please, just don't. And not even in a "I wasn't even directly saying it, I merely tap-danced around the issue without calling it out directly" sort of way. Because that will count too. So just please stay above board.

i really don’t understand how celebrity boxing matches get sanctioned

having anyone except actual boxers get into a ring seems like not the brightest idea

if i wanted to see non-boxers fight i’ll watch some streetbeefs videos on youtube

Because 20 million and 22.6 million potential viewers watching a paperview is huge money. Even if only 1/4th of those pay it is massive amounts of money.
