the man's always had a great backhand. on his way to his 16th twenty goal (or more) season. only once has he failed to hit 20 goals...he had 15 goals (and 66 assists) in the 56 games he played in the covid shortened season of 20/21. Ask and ye shall receive! Thanks, GT. It was a nice goal and agree Kane always had and has a nice backhand. Vasilevskiy slow to cover short side and a lot of room for Kane to backhanded in. The Wings broadcast crew lost it as if they never seen someone shoot on their backhand. If Vasilevskiy had covered the short side and Kane put in the near top corner right below the cross bar and post, then it would have been a great goal IMO. Would love to see another angle from behind Kane. |

Now, this is a backhand:
Only on the Hawks did Kane produce such backhands.

I can't imagine the sheer amount of work and time it took to compile all of his shots, but my hats off to the folks who made this video.

Another showtime gem. Kaner attacks 1 on two, splits the two defenders (Makita used to do this on occasion) and fakes the goalie out with his typical collection of moves. This video should be available soon, I am sure.

It would be nice to keep all Kaner's goals in one place. just in case anyone besides me likes to follow his exploits but has no interest in the DeadWings per se. |

was reading an article in the athletic this morning about 88 and his exit interview in detroit and it sure doesn't sound like he is set on staying there.
I think he used the wings to prove he could still play and will now be on the hunt for a team that will give him a payday with some term. I'm not sure the wangs are that team with all the young guys they are going to have to pay dearly for here soon.
so then................does KfC swallow his pride and ask him back now that the rebuild is starting back on the upswing? does 88 even want to come back? will he take less to go to a team close to winning a Cup?
I know I would enjoy seeing him on a different team so I could actually root for that team to have some success...

My belief may be unfounded but I think getting rid of Kane (and everyone else from the Cup years) has to do with completely distancing the organization from the Beach debacle - and I'll go so far to add that I wouldn't be surprised if the Hawks and the League had a backroom agreement that the Hawks would clean house and the League wouldn't impose a deleterious punishment on them that would derail plans to make the Hawks a viable contender again for this large fanbase and TV market. |

The league already fined the team for the scandal and Campbell and Fraiser are both still with Org. There's also talk of bringing Hossa in for a coaching or FO spot,all three were 'in the room' and veterans Campbell and Hossa had bigger voices than 21yro Kane at the time......or they should have. Other players were moved out who had nothing to do with the cup-era too,Kane won't be back because he's unwanted here. |

I know I would enjoy seeing him on a different team so I could actually root for that team to have some success... Yeah I heard the Score guys talking about this this morning. They're all about it (bringing him back). The question is, does he want to come back? I don't know if he has huge roots here, I mean he was here for over a decade, so he must. But other than that and playing with Bedard, what's the appeal for him? I mean if nobody else wants him, it makes sense, but I think he's played well enough to garner solid interest around the league. Either that or the Hawks throw an insane amount of money he can't refuse, which I would be against vehemently. Also, I think KD wants to turn the page. He wants this team to be Bedard's team, understandably. Bringing Kaner back would be counterproductive to that end. Plus, I know this is Kane, but we've seen how well retreads perform around here, lol. I guess I wouldn't be infuriated if Kane did return, but I'd be fine if he didn't. I agree with the notion that it's time to turn the page. Two more years of Kane would be fun, but at the end of the day, that's all it would be. It's not like bringing him back will get us a Cup. |

Other players were moved out who had nothing to do with the cup-era too,Kane won't be back because he's unwanted here. Yeah I know but that was "only" money which was really more like a slap on the wrist than a punishment that could have affected the Hawks moving forward - like a loss of draft picks. I said up front my belief was unfounded but the reason I thought there may be something to it was because I thought the punishment was rather weak - like a slap on the wrist. All us working stiffs think the amount of the fine is awful but to Rocky/Danny - it's just a pittance out of the pot. You raise a good point regarding Campbell and Fraiser and possibly Hossa in the future - my counterpoint to that is those could easily be considered "bit players" whereas the faces of the franchise were all moved out - McD, Stan, Q, and T&K and even Rocky turned the helm over to Danny. The average fan of another franchise wouldn't know Fraiser and Campbell stopped being publicly associated with the Hawks after he was traded before the 2013 Cup team. As for Hossa - he is quiet and unassuming and a beloved player across the league - he gets a pass because he's Hossa. Or maybe I'm completely wrong. Yeah - probably I'm completely wrong. Maybe. |

Kane and Toews are not wanted here because the young boss feels threatened by their pedigree and does not want anyone around who can question or challenge him. It happens all the time. Sadly.

Again - that's like your opinion man. No basis in fact - just opinion - which is fine. My opinion is quite different. I don't think his pride or his ego or some kind of intimidation has anything to do with his reasons and motives for his actions as GM. |

I also doubt it, I was just throwing the possibility out there. I would say the more likely scenario is him signing with a team that is closer to hoisting the Cup than detroit is. the only problem with that idea is it seems like he also wants term and he isn't getting that with most (any?) of the top contenders, at least not without taking a sizable pay cut. |

I agree. It’s a shame. I’d bring back both the old duo. Give Toews his final year. And give Kane 2 years worth 12 million. But that’s just a dream. Realistically, I see him in LA, NY, NYI, or one of the Florida teams. Maybe he goes cheap? But if he wants to win and break records. He won’t get money. But he may get that in Detroit!!! |

It’s very difficult to see and predict where he may end up. You have teams like Toronto, Florida, Colorado, Edmonton, NYR that will have to show some sort of success in the playoffs this season or the landscape of the team will have to change, and will that change be a place Kane wants to go to. How many years can the Rangers be a regular season team and bow out in the first or second round, the same goes for Toronto, Florida was so close last season, maybe Kaner is a good fit there. Whatever team he ends up on, I do t think it will be our Hawks. |

I don't think his pride or his ego or some kind of intimidation has anything to do with his reasons and motives for his actions as GM. We do know certain facts. 1) Three-Cup Champions Kane and Toews have been well-respected icons here for many years. They are deeply rooted in the community, have strong connections in the front office and elsewhere. Their voices carry weight. 2) Both did not hesitate to voice their displeasure often about the direction Davidson was taking the team. They openly questioned trades and challenged decisions. 3) Davidson is a young and inexperienced manager with - by any fair measure - underwhelming qualifications given his position of authority. Stan Bowman promoted Davidson into more substantive roles within the organization primarily during the team's decline. He has little real outside experience in the game other than working under Bowman (and being a part of that failed decision-making team) 4) Many young bosses have a tendency to clean house of all veteran employees when they take charge. This is not an unusual event by any stretch. 5) Kane limited Davidson's options at trade deadline last year to one team only: the Rangers. This decision severely limited the Hawks' options. Davidson only received two mid round picks for the future Hall of Famer. 6) Kane said he was surprised and disappointed when Davidson did not "give him a call" last off-season after winning the Bedard lottery. 7) Kane signed with Detroit for a very reasonable $2.5 M cap hit. 8) The Hawks spent at least $15 M below the cap 9) Bedard's had no legitimate front line scorer on his line all season. Kane produced close to a point a game this year. As a mentor on earlier Hawks teams, Kane helped Panarin, Debrincat and others become stars in the NHL. 10) Toews took the entire year off but did not announce his retirement. He did not explore options with other clubs (at least on the record). Most hockey analysts consider the former Hawks captain as one of the greatest leaders and mentors in the game's history. 11) Davidson said the two players would not be receiving contract offers from the club. 12) Davidson paid big money to bring in several veteran players from other organizations to act as mentors for the young players. 13) The Hawks finished with fewer points than any team in the organization's history since at least the mid 1950s. Taking into account the extra points awarded for overtime and the increased number of games played today, Davidson's team could arguably be called the worst assembled in Hawks history. Every statement above is factual. My "opinion" is grounded on these "facts." None of us has insider information. We are all speculating. Let's remember - your contention that Davidson/Wirtz are motivated to remove Kane and Toews because of the Beach scandal is an "opinion" as well. |

One other minor point that bears mentioning - Kyle Davidson worked as a video analyst "intern" with the Hawks and IceHogs in 2010.
Given that job title, presumably he worked with the disgraced assistant video coach at least to some degree, unless he arrived after the summer. Likely he would have been quite familiar with Beach as well, having spent most of the winter that year with the Rockford team.
A fair question to ask - given the fact he was about the same age as Kane and Toews at the time -- What did Davidson know and when?

A fair question to ask - given the fact he was about the same age as Kane and Toews at the time -- What did Davidson know and when? KD was hired after, zero connection with Aldrich. Some here allege that all players connected to the team during the Beach scandal are tainted. The concern with Kane and Toews - as I understand it - is that "they knew" about the situation and did nothing. If so, likely they found out in the weeks or months after the alleged incident. Similarly, Davidson was around the organization and closely connected to the prospects and to the video coaches from 2010 (certainly by the fall of that year). Beach remained with the IceHogs for many years after the incident with Aldrich. To my mind, it seems silly to hold the then very young stars to some kind of black and white standard, especially if the present manager now getting rid of these players was a part of the organization during or immediately after the alleged cover up. He clearly would have been more likely to know the details given his position than Toews and Kane. How can the players be tainted but not Davidson? |

To be clear here. I think the finger pointing should begin and end with McD., Rocky Wirtz and the Human Resources Dept.
They were in charge and the adults in the room. Quenneville and Bowman assumed wrongly that HR would investigate the matter thoroughly. Their negligence here is minor, and their punishment has been excessive.
The players had nothing to do with it, and neither did Davidson. Nobody believed Beach (and at the time, why would they?)

Dismissing ideas by calling them opinions is unnecessary. Everyone here should have the common sense to separate opinions from fact. I will admit that I have a tendency to be too literal in the way I interpret other's statements and I pick up on nuance that may or may not be intended - but I also pick up on opinions that border on or cross the line into ad hominem attack or character assassination that are unwarranted. Being critical of KD is fine and in your opinion warranted but taking it further than others might requires the obligatory "IMO" - which is just my opinion man.  |
