RAISING KANE: My Two Coppers
There are things that lurk deep in everyone's souls. The things they don't want to admit they know. The things they want to not be true. Things that lurk in the darkest corners of your subconscious, huddled in the shadows along with the time you walked in on your parents in the vinyl gear and Beck's "Sexxlaws" video.
But brace yourself, because I'm hitting you right now with a Shea Weber slapshot of truth.
If a 22 year old makes $6 million a year and gets the summer off, he will party.
Wow...damn, it felt good to finally come to grips with that.
So anyway, Deadspin ran an article yesterday about Kane. They've gone to the Kane well a couple times, not that I can blame them. We've all had our fun with Kane. Between limo pictures, bar scenes, and all the war stories that have floated around, there's been plenty of fodder for all of us to goof on. Although, the "mysterious" black eye was received while Kane was plying his trade, during Game 7 in Vancouver.
The girl who put the pictures up on her Twitter account shut that account down yesterday.
Truthfully, there's only only one surprise here - that Kane is constantly being photographed with 6s and 7s. You'd think a Stanley Cup winner with heavy bank would move up in class. Shit, if Chris Campoli coulsn't even teach him that much, there's no point in bringing him back.
Based upon the trim Kaner's been pulling, I guess we should be happy he works for the Hawks on the ice and not in the front office, since his abilities in the area of talent evaluation are obviously wanting. Although, at least he approaches the art of cherchez la femme the same way he approaches the game - take as many shots as you can, score a lot, and the ugly ones still count.
But as long as Kane is going to party in and around Chicago, Galway Bay on May 27 would be a solid option. The Malört is on us. In the meantime, fans of the franchise that is erecting statues of Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita outside the United Center should maybe relax a little.




"If a 22 year old makes $6 million a year and gets the summer off, he will party."
I was 22 and broke and partied more than him, so I completely agree. However, what is our excuse for Toews then? Is he a pansy loner who doesn't leave his high-rise condo? Doubtful. And you know there are dumb, vengeful sluts out there who would snap pictures of Toews to out the boy-next-door millionaire if given the chance. Toews doesn't put himself in those situations, and that's part of the reason many straight men in this city would gladly take a knee in front of Toews' johnson. He's a killer on the ice, and the franchise's face off of it.
I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

You honestly don't think Toews is living a monastic existence, watching every playoff game, knowing each one would be better with him in it?
Spending all day in a dark rink, skating and shooting until there are blisters on his feet and hands?
Or maybe it's that Toews remembers the beer bong picture & arrest from college and has decided a little prudence might be a good idea.
What anyone does with their legal ID and their lovejones is their business if they're ready to go at game time.
