Player Discussion Evander Kane

[joshjull]

Its disappointing. Not really expecting him to learn from it. Just hope he doesn't do it again.

 

[joshjull]

Team is essentially last place. Get over it folks.

Where a team is in the standings should have zero relevance.

Let's see what happens moving forward. Everyone screws up with an alarm clock every once in a while. Yes you'd like a guy making millions to do his job but it happens. The guy didn't do it on purpose. Now a second incident, we can talk.

Maybe if the Moulsons can put a bunk bed in Jack's room....?

In a snow globe maybe. Last couple games I saw he was one of the few out there playing with his heart on his sleeve. A game suspension to show the team is serious and everyone moves on is all this should be.

 

[Jim Bob]

Did he buy Zad's alarm clock?

 

[Wisent42]

Desicion making doesn't seem to be his track strong suit.

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.

I've lived it up quite a bit, and I still do. Have I called sick into work in the past due to being extremely hung over? A couple of times, but I only did that at jobs I worked in college because I knew I was only there for the short term. Would I call in sick at my current job, which I will be at for a long haul? Absolutely not. Would I call in sick if I was a professional NHL hockey player? Hell no!

 

[Havok89]

What an idiot. His snapchat story last night was interesting.

 

[Myllz]

Bleh. He makes it really hard to like him sometimes, and that's coming from someone who usually supports him.

 

[Heraldic]

What a shocker...

We should have kept Zadorov and let Karabacek play in Buffalo.

 

[Dietpepsi]

Trade him if you can.. you can't allow this in the locker room.

he's had plenty of chances and he's playing where you could get a good return right now

 

[Dingo44]

Ovi missed a practice this year too and was also suspended.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Ovi missed a practice this year too and was also suspended.

Johnny Hockey was too.

 

[Dingo44]

Johnny Hockey was too.

Yup, along with Sean Monahan and Lance Mouma - and Monahan is known for being so boring that there is a Twitter called @BoringSeanMonahan which is suspected of being a current or former teammate and is pretty darn hilarious.

 

[dasaybz]

Do either of those guys have Evander's track record of being "problems"?

 

[MackAttack26]

Kane is playing good, clear tank move.

 

[stokes84]

If he did this in a playoff race, I'd care. As it stands, I don't care.

I'm expecting that Kane got a clean slate after coming here.

This is the first issue that has caused him to miss playing time.

If this becomes a pattern here, I'm sure Murray will ship him out. But, I can see the Sabres viewing this as a first strike here.

 

[Lindy Puff]

with all this speculation going on maybe at the draft buffalo gets (the rights to) stamkos and drouin for kane and a 3rd

So you want to trade Kane and a third for effectively nothing because he missed a practice.

 

[old kummelweck]

I think the concern here is whether the situations Kane is finding himself in are all alcohol-related.

 

[truthbluth]

This is neither an indication that he's worth giving up on, nor to be simple dismissed.
It's just a huge ****ing bummer.

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

This is more annoying than anything. I don't think there will be track suits thrown in the shower or whatever other nonsense happened in the 'peg. I hope this is a one time thing, but Kane will be Kane: A tough player on the ice, a bit arrogant, and a bit immature.

 

[OkimLom]

Now are we just hoping this happens so we can have the Step Brothers movie poster come true?
