Patrick Kane 1000 points!

[Confused Turnip]

He will be when he is done.

Currently on a 13 game point streak with 22 points in that time

You think Kane will land that clearly above all of Mikita, Hull, Belfour, Savard, Esposito, etc? That hardly seems like a sure thing. Hull in particular seems unlikely to leave the conversation.

 

[psycat]

There is no argument. Kane is the greatest American of all time.

I would argue he is very unlikely to pass Chelios.

There is no argument. Kane is the greatest American of all time.

I thought the greatest American of all time is George Washington?

I think the only people who would say otherwise just blinded by nostalgia.

Kane is already the best player from the most successful era in franchise history... For as great as Hull and Mikita were they only won one cup in a league with six teams...and then Hull bailed.

I don't see any argument for Savard over Kane really and that's with Kane still being in his prime right now

He’s already ahead of Savard esposito and Belfour.

 

[CanadienShark]

just a great hockey player. LOL at the "controversy" of him being included in the 100 Greatest Players

Controversy was around Toews, not Kane.

Nah. Hulk Hogan.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Kane will go down as a top 10 player of all time to ever play the game, right up there with Mario Lemieux.

Idk about that one chief

 

[Karl Eriksson]

How many points does he need?

 

[cassac]

How many points does he need?

He is at 984 right now. Needs 16 more to 1000 and has been pretty hot lately. Last two games, 6 points and 10 points over the last five games played.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Kane with 3 pts thus far tonight

Now at 988 passing Keon (92nd) and tying Middleton for 91st alltime in scoring

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Saw this:


Blackhawks Talk✔@NBCSBlackhawks
With his 2nd assist of the night, #88 now has 800 points this decade...the only NHL player to accomplish that.

 

[bobbyking]

ahead of leetch,chelios,brett hull?

 

[featherhawk]

I would argue he is very unlikely to pass Chelios.

Kane will surpass Chelios as a better USA player. Kane still has many, many very productive years ahead of him IMO.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Hard to compare him to defensemen but I think at this point he's probably the most accomplished American forward of all time. Talent wise the only comparables are Lafontaine, Modano, and Hull.

 

[Hockeyholic]

I can't make polls. But at their best, who do you take. Kane or Stamkos?

Kane hasn't passed Chelios yet as the best American player. People forget how dominant Chris was.

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Guy is a beast. Definitely in the top 5 forwards post 2005 lockout.

 

[Shakey Rustie]

I've never been a fan of Kane, nothing against him, more indifferent than anything. Looking now at his career, I can't help but appreciate how lucky I am to have witnessed him play. Funny how that happens.

Stamkos is nowhere near the level of player Kane is.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Kane with 4th pt

Surpasses Middleton and is now tied with Paul Kariya with 989 pts for 90th overall in career pts

 

[Hockeyholic]

Stamkos is nowhere near the level of player Kane is.

Now? Primes? Both?

 

[x Tame Impala]

Now? Primes? Both?

Both

 

[ColbyChaos]

ahead of leetch,chelios,brett hull?

He passed two of those 3 already

 

[SabresSharks]

On his way to being GOAT American player. At 31, there's no sign of slowing down.

Would never say he's been underrated, but as Toews has declined somewhat, and Kane keeps rolling, the average fan is starting to recognize just what a supremely talented player he is.
