For a guy who has everything a guy would ever want. He sure seems to get himself into some precarious situations. He needs to start a family and focus on winning 3 or 4 more cups.

Patrick Kane definitely a drug beef

I think he included that because this isn't the first time we've seen an athlete accused of something like this and we know what usually happens to the accuser.

Right On Again!

Exactly!!!! Innocent or guilty being the star player he is and having the money that he has you need to stop putting yourself in situations where you can either do something terribly wrong or have someone wrongfully accuse you because of your fame.

Ps I wonder how long EA Sports keeps him on the cover of NHL 16 innocent or not I can see a knee jerk reaction coming to remove him from the cover.

I get it, but he is asking for a world of hurt on that one from a lot of people, implying she might be a liar.

Gimme that back

That is not what Proteau is implying. He is, more than explicitly, saying that women are treated as liars over and over and over again. That this is wrong. And that these accusations should be taken seriously.

Not sure why he needed that second part, unless he is implying she is a liar.
- ImThatGuy

I think he's suggesting that others don't jump to that conclusion. That's my take anyways.

even if she is?

He's not implying that she might be a liar, he's suggesting that people give her the benefit of the doubt before deciding she's a liar.

I feel bad for it, but I chuckled after reading this.

Same...

I think he's suggesting they give BOTH the benefit of the doubt.

I don't that Kane will get that benefit on this site at first.

So did I

Perfect response, but I'm sure he'll get the ban

the court of public opinion does not concur

Well then. I'm gonna take it back.

I don't too

Yeah of course that's what he's saying, but I was just replying to someone wondering why he included the second half of the statement.

As for Kane, personally, you don't have to earn the benefit of the doubt from me but you can definitely lose it. Kane lost it a long time ago.

It should be taken seriously both ways; in the investigation of Kane and the investigation of the accuser with severe punishment awaiting the wrong-doer.

Yeah of course that's what he's saying, but I was just replying to someone wondering why he included the second half of the statement.

And this is why you word your tweets carefully. I read(red) it quick responded with what i processed. Others will process it like you have, like I have or different.

Kane has the reputation of an entitled douche around Buffalo. Its hard to lose that rep, and it will be even harder now.

The guy is pissing away a HOF Career. If guilty pissing away a life that only 1% get to live.

He is truly an idiot.

HANG HIM!!

There is NO rush to news on this Patrick Kane story....such a rush to news is not only unethical, but entirely wrong in my opinion. Any judgment on Kane or those involved at this point are simply salacious.

Whatever prison term Doughty was looking at, that woman should have served.

Did you read this article? The cops asked her to call Doughty!? That's INSANE!

Patrick Kane has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Women have the right to be presumed honest until proven otherwise.

So it's a wash at the moment. Those non-statement statements are exactly what Eklund did with this blog.

Nope, she's a she so it's perfectly okay to cry wolf looking for $$$

No. Absolutely not. Charges were dropped, but this article suggests a serious screw-up by the cops! Requiring that a victim CALL her assaulter and then questioning her credibility because she didn't want to? That's NUTS! Absolutely NUTS!
