I think Kaner might be over playing his hand here. Hip resurfacing is a big deal. The past results don't look promising for him. Only two NHLers have had from what I understand and neither went well. The pro wrestler The Undertaker had it and dropped down from a full slate to two matches per year. Not good timing for Kaner with a new contract hanging in the wind.
No shit. Plus watch all the shit Taker had to do to himself just to perform for those two matches.
The guy was freezing his body after working out and his last few matches were rather horrible considering his greatness prior.
(I won't hold that train wreck against Goldberg against him tho.)
The graveyard match against Styles happened only because they could take breaks and edit the thing before hand.
Anybody who thinks Kane is going to be Kane again is wishful thinking. It's the end of the road and the Hawks cut bait at the right time. Still an icon here, but a lesser Kane means he's going to a team that could use him on the power play and a limited schedule.
