This whole thing has me so bummed out.
- HonkFortheGoose

I stopped cheering for many players nowadays, instead just focus on the product the team puts out

tired of getting so invested and then see things like this


imagine if the internet was like this during the bills super bowl runs, we would never look at half those players the same way (bennet, kelly, smith, etc)

Oh, I know. It's just tough because behind the Sabres, the Hawks are my other favorite team. Kane is the reason I really started paying attention to them years ago, but he's not the only reason I stayed interested at all.

The fact that all this is coming in the offseason after they won a 3rd Cup in 6 years is just very deflating. They are probably the closest thing we'll see to a dynasty in a salary cap era and I now feel like it's tainted a bit. I know it shouldn't, because a players off ice activities have nothing to do with the game itself, but it still puts a huge black smudge on it, IMO.

But it is depending on how you look at it. Pat Kane is from Buffalo. Until Evander Kane brings a Cup here, the only Kane that's really going to matter to this city is Patrick.

This whole thing is a huge kick in the ass to the city right now.

The question sounds like whether he's going to be treated like Darren Sharper or Kobe Bryant.

Not to be insensitive to those involved, but assuming for a moment Kane is really in trouble, think about the Hawks fall from grace? Losing all those players to free agency then this.

It's definitely a very precarious situation in many, many ways.

Can the NHL really afford to? I mean the NFL can get away with it because it's just that big..

Well since Sharper was a serial rapist it's apples to oranges at this point.

Until the facts come out fully who knows.

It all depends on the details of the incident/crime...

Cant really compare NFL/NBA players to Hockey players, NFL/NBA players are almost expected to get in trouble given that the majority are not brought up the same way as NHL players.

Had the Hawks not won the Stanley Cup this year, it probably wouldn't be on any of those stations though.
