Patrick Kane is a douche

[section319]

I think this is bump-worthy...

That is great.

isn't it a norm to tip a cab driver about 5 bucks give-or-take anyway? He should have given the guy more than 15 bucks to begin with... much less beat him up for not getting 20 cents back...and much less for him being able to get a dollar back. There's so many things wrong with this story on so many levels. Let's take the worst part out of it. Let's say he didn't hit the guy. He couldn't have let the guy keep 1.20 in change?? wtf?

Anyway, so I take it he's not going to be at the next blackhawk game?

He is supposed to be available Wednesday vs the Blues.

Patrick Kane reads/watches "Twilight." My guess is he also hangs out with the vampire dude and the werewolf dude while they all have their shirts off.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The color drained from Patrick Kane's face when he was confronted with the knowledge of how he has spent part of his offseason after helping the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup.

It was his mother, Donna, who caught the 21-year-old in the act — of reading a book.

While the fourth installment of the "Twilight" series isn't exactly Tolstoy, the image of Kane in the bedroom of his Buffalo childhood home, curled up with a book instead of carousing on the streets of his hometown, is fairly startling.

"Ohhhh," Kane said with a laugh after regaining his composure. "She would throw me under the bus like that. I watched the first three movies and was really interested … so I decided to read the fourth book. I kind of snuck it in there, and she walked in a couple of times with me reading the book. I tried to hide it, but it wasn't happening."

As Donna Kane sees it, the fact her son is taking the time to read is an indication he's maturing off the ice as well as he has on it.

"When Patrick was a rookie at training camp the first year, they had him rooming with (veteran) Kevyn Adams," Donna Kane said. "Patrick walked into the hotel room and Kevyn was reading a book and Patrick said, 'Why would you want to read when you don't have to?' Kevyn said, 'Pat, it's good for you, it teaches you, especially if you enjoy what you're reading.'

"So what does Patrick do this summer? He's reading a 700-page book."

There are other things about Patrick Kane that can be learned only by spending a couple of whirlwind days with the Blackhawks star and his new favorite wingman, the Stanley Cup.

Kane had fun-filled, sun-soaked and exhausting days Friday and Saturday as he crisscrossed Buffalo with hockey's most coveted prize. He took it to Niagara Falls, a hospital specializing in cancer treatment, a cemetery to visit the graves of relatives, a hockey rink and his favorite pizzeria, among other stops.

Beyond the reading, there was the discovery of an emotional and spiritual side to Kane, how fiercely loyal he is to friends and family and just how much he wants to be a good man.

He thinks a book about vampires "teaches you." Awesome.

I believe the newsworthy element here is that Patrick Kane knows how to read.

That, and we now have documented evidence that Chris Kuc, Tribune reporter, can puff a pole with the best of 'em.

If reading an Eclipse book is a sign of maturity, then the majority of the female middle schoolers in this country are more mature than Patrick Kane.

Not that that shocks me

Patrick Kane missed Blackhawks practice Monday and Tuesday with "flulike symptoms." The team wouldn't elaborate, but flulike symptoms might consists of nausea, vomiting, chills, aches, weakness, diarrhea. What else could cause those? Maybe, just maybe, closing down a Chicago bar Sunday night.

Did Patrick Kane Have A Two-Day Hangover?We had heard whispers earlier in the week that Kaner's absence from practice might have had a more mischievous, alcoholic origin. And sure enough, photos emerge of Kane at a bar, wearing a Yankees cap and posing with women. The reader who sent them to us (and posted them on his own blog) says they were taken late Sunday, after the Blackhawks returned from Phoenix.

At this point someone just needs to start a "Drunk Patrick Kane Next To Women" Tumblr. Lord knows there are enough photos out there.

[theohall]

WTF is he wearing? Looks like a woman's sweater to me.

[kodos]

Looks like something Daniel Tosh would wear.

Your team is struggling to stay in the playoff picture, you're one of if not THE top forwards on your team and you're out getting SO hammered that you have a 2 day hangover and miss practice on a Monday.

God I hate that little prick.

I'm a Blackhawks fan and I really don't like the little fucker. I like what he does on the ice, but the rest of it...(Frank) him.

I posted essentially the same thing as my facebook status. Lots of Hawks fans as friends. It's been interesting and enlightening. It's about 50/50 with Hawks fans saying some variation of "I don't care/this is what all pro athletes do/he's only 22 years old he'll grow out of it" to things along the lines of what you're saying: "I'm really getting frustrated with him/ he needs to grow up" etc.

I feel like regardless of your personal feelings about the guy and assuming this report is true, if you're Jonathan Toews, you gotta sit the kid down and have a talk. Another one of probably the many you've had. It's time to grow up a little bit.

And stop looking like a flamer. I can imagine the flack he's going to get on the ice.

It's kinda funny to me how a 22 year old kid in the prime shape of his life can be out with the "flu" 3 times in one season. No one else on the team has been affected by the elusive flu bug.

The team is falling to shit as it is. Last year was last year. As much as I'll hang on to the memory of Kane scoring the clincher for the rest of my life, it's time for this kid to grow up. One would think that the partying would eventually stop when you open the newspaper (nhl.com?) every morning and see your team still under the 8th place mark. I cling to the Stanley Cup memory because I'm a fan. Players like Kane need to hand the keys to the city back and realize that it doesn't mean anything anymore when you're watching a different team hoist the cup a year later...especially when you're not even in the playoffs, which they won't be.

If not Toews, the team needs to sit him down and have a serious conversation. If his priorities are to do crap like this, he's cheating his teammates and needs to be dealt with one way or another. Denis Savard did the same thing, but it didn't seem to get in the way of his game. Personally, if I was the coach, I don't give a damn if you're Wayne Gretzky, if you pull shit like this, you're a healthy scratch until you figure out our priorities. Of course, it's tolerated because the team needs points desperately.
