Not even for me... awe how sweet I feel honored. haha

No, it sounds like a bunch of hating college kids wanting to get their email published on Deadspin.,.. did you even see it? "He wasn't even supposed to be there because he had been hooking up with the frat presidents girlfriend who is a junior, even flying here all over the country" Yeah sounds like a real credible source.

I personally do not care what Kane does with his free time but he is not someone to defend any more.



What makes it even tougher for the Organization to reprimand him is; one of the faces of the Organization is Bobby Hull and I am sure the league is making their phone call to the Hawks and at some point the league is going to suspend Kane just for "where this is smoke, there is fire!"

 

[MassHavoc]

Defend him anymore? From what exactly? What exactly has he done that we need to defend him? He has gone out and partied... Ohhh know luck him up forever. The only real incident that there has been was the taxi drive and even that's a bit suspect. The only reason why there is smoke is because he's a high profile athlete so they are looking for anything the can to make a story. You think if this was fucking... I don't know pic anyone vorobiev do you think it's even be talked about? Do you know how many hockey players probably go out and get blackout drunk every night and you don't hear about it? He's a 23 year old kid who is one of the best at his position. He parties like it and carries himself like it. Until he actually gets into legal trouble for all these slanderous accusations then he'll get the benefit of the doubt. If he had a real problem then he wouldn't have played ever game this year and put up 66 point while being jerked around all over the lines.

 

[R K]

What are you defending him from? Having a good time? Is that illegal? Should he live in a bubble?



Wow how we hold professional athletes to another standard. Who gives a flying **** what he's doing as long as he plays to his level. And that he's most definitely done.





The "ONLY" thing he needed defending from was the Cab incident and for those that were close, there was far more to the story than just his part. Again you lock me in a Cab, I'm going to beat your ass until you let me out!



Suspend him... LOL! Yes Mommy, I'm sorry, I'll go pray now.

 

[Pez68]

What the **** would they suspend him for?

 

[MassHavoc]

I'm not sure why he said that, I didn't say anyone suggest he should be suspended, unless that's how you interpret the organization reprimanding him, which could be anything.

It is just the fact of how dumb he is...that's what is disturbing, being drunk and having fun isn't the crime. His crime is being dumb enough to get caught on camera time after time after time!



I don't give damn how much he drinks...I am not the sanctimonious type, I just don't want to see the F'n pictures.



And yes the league can suspend him for being stupid enough for continuing to get caught on camera and embarrassing the league. The league is a Club not a Democracy and I am not advocating a suspension but we are adults and we know how higher up Corporate Execs are so it is not implausible for the league to take a stance. It's all about corporate image, it's not about Kane's age.



The only pictures I want to see Kane partying in are the one's I doctor up.

 

[Shantz My Pants]

I will say, some of the photoshop pictures he put Kane in are funny.



Still, it's not an issue in my opinion. Just a 23 year old being a drunk douchebag like any 23 year old does.



Shit, I don't even care much for Kane and I don't see the big deal.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

How much dark poetry is HF50 writing right now?

 

[R K]

I like the fact the NHL has an image to live up to. Nationally televised game a player gets nearly decapitated, no penalty, the ref is promoted to GAME #7 of another series. Kaner, some drunk pictures, your fucked, to suspension you go.

I personally love the people trying to make a buck off the videos! Now that's the American Way! "I won't take less than 5 grand". Gotta love college students.

Think of all the PBR that could get you!



Let the guy have a chance to be like a normal 23 year old.



Now if he choked a chick, that's a completely different story, but nobody has come forward nor was any legal action taken course, and I'm sure as hell someone would of filed something within the last 5 days had that been true ($$$).



As long as this isn't effecting his on ice performance (which it's not as it's off season) then I couldn't careless.

 

[jaxhawksfan]

Serious question: Does the NHL "train" you (lecture you) on your off the ice behavior like the NFL does? Players in the NFL are told over and over again that people are watching, and looking to entrap you, or accuse you of all sorts of things. When I worked for the Jaguars there were 2 players that were accused of rape, suspended, and almost lost their careers because of some bullshit stories made up by some folks out at a bar we used to frequent.



I'm not saying this was a deserved thread, or that the topic is all that interesting, but I will stick up for the few who are asking the questions about playing things a little safer, given the propensity for people to have cameras, and the litigious society we currently live in.



You can ask "what did we do when we were 23" all you want, but the simple fact is that life is not the same as it was back in the dark ages when I was that age. Al Gore hadn't even made the internet a household item at that point. Perez Hilton was still ***, but didn't have a show/column. TMZ was just a sperm in his father's urethra (wait, got that backwards). Kane can do whatever he wants. It is his life to live. Nobody is saying anything to the contrary. However, asking the question: "Should he be more careful" is not out of line.

 

[Variable]

Let me put it this way: Would it surprise you that a drunken, douchebag Patrick Kane would do that? Is that far fetched? I don't care about partying, I don't give a shit about pictures with other drunken idiots, none of that bothers me. When you start getting physically abusive, yeah there might be a fucking problem there.

The NFL has big angry men doing the same thing and that league would suspend there asses in a heart beat if they did what Kane does publicly.



You can defend Kane for having fun and I get it..but you can't defend him for being dumb and getting caught on camera time after time...this is my point of the situation...Kane's lack of intelligence. He is one dumb motherfucker.

 

[jakobeast]

Yeah, well, I really hope it never comes to him killing somebody before anyone begins to care what he does. What a stupid fucking post to make.

Apparently you don't understand the finer points tongue in cheek.



Sweet shit, man, really?



His off ice escapades mean less to me then the length of your toe nails. It has no effect, no bearing on me and my life, and as such, I don't give a **** about his drinking. If he wants to destroy his liver with booze, he can. If he wants to party with kowledge kids, have at it. If he wants to choke a *****, the only person that effects is the person he chokes. I know of a few people that enjoy that kind of thing.



Above all else, I wasn't there. None of us were. We don't know what happened, what led up to it, and all that other crap, and to judge some asshat, Kaner or some ****** in a bar, is a waste of time and energy.

 

[R K]

you sure about that? Really? I thought they only suspended those with fire arms? Or ones who raped women in bathrooms?



As far as the dumb mother ******, probably wasn't a good move being so public but who the **** are you to call him a dumb mother ******?



Yea lost points on that comment for sure Al.

Where is he supposed go drink? A cave? Everyone has a camera on them at all times now.
