Evander Kane cross checking penalty

[Muffin]

That should've been more than 2 minutes, wasn't a hockey play with a clear intent to injure

Scumbag move

 

[Kimota]

Agreed. The guy literally out of nowhere assaulted another guy. Should have been a game misconduct.

 

[SomeDude]

Look at all that personality on display which makes people dislike Evander.

I never believed in not hitting a guy just bc there was a few secs left only in the period, IMO play till the whistle blows. That being said, I have no issue with Kane going for a hit with a few secs left, but he absolutely got his stick up high and cross checked him very high. I suspect the league might look at that and apply a fine (deservedly). I doubt thats a suspension though.

Oh, the humanity.

I’m wondering if the Oilers will go quietly into the night. Like the Leafs.
or put forth an embarrassing display like the Knights.

 

[Interior Cascadian]

He took a few quick strides to charge in too. Definitely looks like intent to injure.

Disgraceful

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Your name is definitely muffin...

5k fine

Posters will say it made no difference and they may be right, but Kane should have never stirred the pot before the end of the last game. All that mouthing off only helped motivate Vegas.

Along with the cross checking, Kane is a dumb ass liability.

Criminal code offence perhaps?

Dirtbag doing dirtbag things

Alternate angle looks even worse, what a dumbass

theres a dif between playing until the whistle blows and that. he knew time was running out and nothing could happen at all which is why he charged in the way he did. Getting him high(most likely intentionally) could very likely end up as a suspension for kane given his history

 

[JustNapalmIt]

Is everyone going to be ok?

 

[PensandCaps]

Like, these type of plays should 100% easily be a suspension in any real league that took themselves seriously.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

He doesn’t understand how to play on the edge just enough to get under the other team’s skin. All he understands is how to make selfish plays that cost his team. His actions are never with the intention of helping his team.

Kanes a piece of shit and hides behind cancer patients to get the “good guy” optics. f*** off.

Now do the one of Howden crosschecking Bouchard up high from behind.

Oh wait, that one is okay. I wonder why.

I’m sure since it’s even remotely comparable, I’m sure you have a video readily available?

Suspend him

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Not in neck or face and it wasn’t after the horn blew… next…

Edit: and he let up and barely made any contact.

So you mean to tell me he's not actually a changed man? Did sportsnet or the athletic or whatever rag that put out that fluff piece lie to us???
