Kane might be in legal trouble in Buffalo (verifiable sources only, no hearsay)

[No Fun Shogun]

To make matters more complicated, Teresa Weakley, a Buffalo anchor who first made the statement that it was a rape investigation, quickly turned around and deleted her tweet. That Tim Graham tweet is the only prominent personality that I'm aware of that's directly saying the r word now.

What that means, I have no clue. I just need a drink.

 

[Illinihockey]

Unless it was violent rape, I wouldn't expect him to be charged because of the nature of the crime. Just too hard to prove.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

It's hard to give him the benefit of the doubt based on his past behavior. Hopefully it does end up being a case of someone chasing money though.

I can understand that, but there is a world of difference between slugging someone/drunken buffoonery and rape.

Obviously, we're all very much in the dark here. Can only sit and wait for more information and hope that it's nothing more than a false accusation, but obviously is a damn serious accusation if true.

Voynov was only suspended after he was arrested.

If anyone heard what is going on pls PM me.

Entire #Blackhawks organization, not surprisingly, appears to be on total lockdown right now. Nobody's talking.

 

[Your Reality Check]

If it is indeed rape, it will be swept under the rug and nothing will happen to Kane, like I've already said, it always is. I mean, the Steelers are known for having people stalk and scare the girl who claimed that dirtbag Roethlisberger raped her and she eventually dropped the charges out of fear. Pro teams are known to do stuff like this. It's not only that though, it's a "boys will be boys" mentality towards this that is total bull **** but does indeed exist.

Holy **** though, what a huge dissapointment if this is indeed true. I never held the other stuff against Kane. How many of us in our early 20's got loaded and cruised the town looking for women and made really bad decisions along the way? I can't judge a man for that. But at this point I would of liked to think he has grown up a little bit.

Let's see how this plays out but Kane needs to start putting himself in better situations, regardless if this is true or not.

There are a LOT of good reasons why the Buffalo TV anchor would delete her original tweet that AREN'T "well it turns out it wasn't true and she was wrong!!!" More likely, she immediately got bombarded by an overwhelming amount of online harassment.

Kane got into trouble in Madison as well.

There's one consistent factor. It isn't Buffalo.

Graham is one of the few sports reporters in Buffalo that actually has sources/breaks news (if not the only one).

Does it begin with an 'A'?

And this is the type of **** that makes me laugh at people that suggest he should be wearing a letter.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Apparently Kane was scheduled to have his day with the cup this weekend.

 

[Illinihockey]

Hope this is more Kobe Bryant than Ben Roethlisberger

Okay, thanks for the head's up on that. Obviously can never know the reliability of reporters in other markets.

Unless, you know, jail time.

Well, there's a difference between a reputation of silly/stupid drunk stuff kids would do in college and reputation for sexual assault. Bottom line though, if you're a celebrity who loves to party and take girls home at some point you're asking for trouble. Maybe he did something, maybe not, but now there's already another strike on his credit given the nature of the press/populace these days.

When it comes to breaking buffalo sports, graham is usually miles ahead of anyone. He's as tied in as it gets.

 

[Kurtosis]

How isn't this a rumor? There's not one single piece of evidence it's legit. And i wasnt comparing the actual acts. I was saying this will likely turn out the same. Utter ********* except a few ignorant souls will believe it just like the sharp stuff.

Once again, he is being investigated. Both you and I have no idea if it is utter ******** or not.

How would you know what evidence there is anyway?

 

[thesaadfather]

@ByTimGraham: However, there is a belief from multiple sources Kane might turn himself in as early as today.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

I wonder what his girlfriend thinks about this

 

[Blackhawks26]

Patrick, why must you be so ****ing stupid.

 

[Jame]

Hope this is more Kobe Bryant than Ben Roethlisberger

You mean, you hope Kane has the better PR team?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Beware fake Twitter accounts, folks. That's not Dan Bernstein.

Deleting.

That its a case of things going to far, not a violent encounter.
