Player Discussion Evander Kane

Kane out against the Sens/ Team suspension

 

[pigpen65]

In less than a year he was thrown off one team, involved in an incident that is being investigated for a sexual assault, and has now been suspended. Kane has more than written his one way ticket out of town by now.

Too much partying in Toronto at the NBA All-Star Game.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Must have had a nice valentines day

 

[gbill2004*]

He was in Toronto last night at the NBA All-Star game.

Absolutely not, he has been great for the Sabres

He'll learn from his mistakes, he's still a young kid

 

[BananaSquad]

ITT its going to be a bunch of people that have never gone out, had fun, and then had to work the next day... Unfortunately in hockey, you cant call in sick.

Exactly.

This take is quite disconnected from reality.

No you can't and when you make as much money as Kane does you're held to a different standard.

He can go out all he wants, but he better damn well be at practice the next day.

Disappointing. Unlike the money phone or push ups, this is actually worth being bothered about.

Sexual assault investigations and suspensions = learning in what parallel universe?

Though I'm not at the point that pigpen65 is, there has to be a point that using youth as an excuse just doesn't cut it anymore. He's already been shunned on one team's locker room for whatever reasons, but he had the chance to change as a person/player and become more mature and take his job more seriously, and to this point, IMO he has done this but this is not good to see.

Investigation with no charges likely and a team imposed suspension for making an immature and selfish choice. Get him out of the league!

Sexual assault investigations - Has been proven guilty of this yet? I haven't really followed this case that closely. Last I heard, it was the hospital looking into it and not the girl.

Suspension - disregard

Thats not actually true. If they're actually sick/injured they do get to "call in sick" if you will. Players regularly get excused from practice for being sick or injured (maintenance day up to LTIR). But they don't have "sick time" to use as they please to not come to work just because they don't want to. If anything they have amazing sick/injury time. They get paid full salary no matter how much time the miss due to illness or injury. Connolly made millions from the Sabres while he spent an entire year recovery from a concussion/neck/TMJ issues. There are guys whose careers have ended due to injury that are still getting paid whats left of their contracts.

This is part of why I said Bananasquad's post was disconnected from reality.

Needs to learn at some point, hopefully it's now. I need to not look at the main page...

 

[Zman5778]

Hopefully he learns from it.

Just doesn't seem like he had his priorities in line.

lol yep, let the main board do their thing today.

what an asshat though, always been a defender of the guy. but c'mon already, grow up.

 

[ihadtochangethename]

i wonder if i will have a weird obession if i leave a negative comment. hope for stamkos-this would limit kanes time here

The main board is good for a laugh if you have thick skin, but if you take the opinions of internet posters too seriously you'll find yourself in a **** storm.

Am I disappointed? A bit, but at the same time I'm not all that surprised. We knew Kane was coming with some baggage. He's been a beast for the past week+, so I'm hoping he can put this behind him and continue grinding. Time will tell if he learns his lesson at some point. It's obvious he's a pretty selfish person, but hopefully he can mature a bit and not allow it to affect his professional life.

Team is essentially last place. Get over it folks.
