Kane's Performance at 37: Can He Still Be Elite?

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Back from the dead. Does he still have it?

If he gets a full, healthy offseason, can he come in and be a 75-80 point player next season at age 37?

Also, with his 30th goal and 17 games still remaining, probably not a coincidence either that now DeBrincat suddenly looks like a 40 goal guy once again playing with Kane after looking lost in their season(s) apart.

It really looked like Kane was a shell of himself and was an after thought player on that Wings team but he's still showtime.

Admittedly I have barely watched him this season. Wings fans, does he look like a PPG+ player over past 25 games or are his stats a mirage?

Love Kaner, and honestly I’m always wrong and have bizarre opinions. But I’m always serious when it comes to Patrick Kane and he will be dangerous if Red Wings make it , I think we all deep down know that.

The surgery he got was a major success and that’s great news for the hockey world.

#88 forever, man
 
KANE’S FIVE-POINT NIGHT NARROWS RED WINGS’ GAP TO FINAL WILD CARD SPOT
Patrick Kane
(2-3—5) stole the show with a five-point performance, including three in the first period, to help Detroit (31-28-6, 68 points) score a season-high seven goals and beat Buffalo. The Red Wings moved within two points of the idle Blue Jackets (31-25-8, 70 points), who occupy the Eastern Conference’s final Wild Card spot.

* Kane (36 years, 113 days) became the fourth-oldest player in franchise history with a five-point game behind Brett Hull (37 years, 170 days on Jan. 26, 2002), Alex Delvecchio (37 years, 27 days on Dec. 31, 1968) and Brendan Shanahan (36 years, 324 days on Dec. 13, 2005). Kane recorded his fourth career contest with at least five points (also March 8, 2022, Jan. 20, 2019 & Jan. 9, 2018).

Yes
 
Kasper being part of the most dominant lines we’ve had going at a time is something we need to look at.
