....seriously? I didn't notice any bad play at all from him.

It was severe drop from "Kane levels"... which was still good

For example, for most of the season he was able to gain the offensive zone 6-9 times per a game (usually team lead there) pretty consistently. Last few games he was getting like 1-3 pretty consistently.

I thought something seemed up.

I wonder why he didnt get looked at before now tbh. Seasons been over for a few months.

He was looked at

Everyone knew what the problem was

They were probably waiting to see if it fixed itself. Since it didnt it ended up at surgery

Most doctors use surgery as a last resort

First time someone starts tracking zone entries, and it predicts an undisclosed injury.

Nice

Somebody get Garret a job at TNSE.

A completely healthy Kane with a couple of good linemates is going to be a wonderful thing to watch.

I don't get it... was this surgery to remove pressure on a nerve in his foot or to remove his foot from his mouth?

I think he'll stop trying to bite the pain in his foot now that the nerve is fixed.

Now he just needs surgery on removing his Foot from his mouth.
