How do you know that Kane LOVES being in Winnipeg? Did you consult your medium or your crystal ball? All indicators point to him wanting out.
You keep your head in the sand and believe what you want to believe.
This comment demonstrates a total separation from reality in this instance.
I have never said Kane LOVES being in Winnipeg.
I doubt Kane likes Winnipeg at all and I don't care whether Kane likes Winnipeg. I care that Kane works his ass off, scores goals and wants to win.
He does a damn fine job of all of those things.
Most hockey players realize that where you play (geographically speaking) does not really matter. When you spend half the time on the road, and the rest of the year in your actual home your time spent in your team's city really isn't significant ESPECIALLY considering all the time you are spending during the season at the rink, the gym, in meetings, etc.
What matters to players is the organization. If Kane doesn't like the organization and doesn't think they are doing everything they need to do to win, can you blame him? We have P****** as a ****ing starter!
Bottom line is he shows he wants to win on the ice. He doesn't take shifts off. That is what really matters to me, and it should to every Jets fan.
Why does any of the other stuff really matter? You should have asked Hawks fans if it mattered what Kane was up to around the time he helped them win the Stanley Cup.
