Sharpshooter Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 A -7 already? Damn, that's bad even for him. Maybe he would have been better signing here instead. (Yes, I know that wasn't happening) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was well known prior to him coming back that this surgery seems to be a career ender for athletes playing contact sports outside of tennis/golf/pingpong. Time will tell.

Sharpshooter Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Yeah, definitely needs time. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. I still thought it was worth it for Detroit to at least try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valriera Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Not surprising but also it’s a cheap flyer for detroit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Never count out Kane.....he just came back. He's going to help them...believe me! When he gets it going, he'll be a big help to those guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 It's always best to judge a player off a 7 game sample size, especially when he missed training camp. Let's also just ignore that the Wings are missing Larkin and Perron... That couldn't possibly part of why their recent record is suffering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersIn7 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 He’s also playing 19 minutes a night, which he probably shouldn’t be this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Kane with 10 pts in 10 GP, 3 straight multi points games. He totally "stinks". He's done! No one can come back from resurfacing! Edited December 24, 2023 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Happy to see his body still working with his mind. He isn't labeled the best American born player for no reason. But hey....if Detroit stays outside the playoff window, maybe he can be had at the deadline ......haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valriera Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Wings are also 2-8 during that span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it was kind of an odd choice to sign there at the tail end of his career. Everyone has their reasons but I'm sure he could've signed with a legit cup contender.

I honestly dont remember anyone saying he really "stinks" as much as I remember a lot of high risk talk and not "the top 6 we need here" talk including from yourself really.

I didn't want him back for two reasons: 1. No one to this point has ever come back from this. Prior to Kane, this has been a career death sentence. 2. They had no cap room to sign him. What, exactly, am I walking back here? I'm both happy for him that he appears to be bucking the trend, but I don't think I was wrong to have serious reservations about a major surgery that up to this point has killed the career of every athlete who's undergone it.

I'm not sure what healthy conversation you're looking to have here when you randomly start this at 7am on Christmas Eve. Even you yourself had serious reservations about him coming here. Do you actually think the guy that runs this site and pays attention to the sport for decades really believes Patrick Kane stinks? I said lets be realistic. I'm pretty sure we both know that no one here, or at least no one that's been here for decades, believes Patrick Kane stinks. The question really has always been to decide if he was worth the risk considering the track record of his injury and surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a lot of people, yourself included, who were ignoring the reasons why nobody ever made it back. That information has been pretty clearly laid out. There were plenty of reasons to have an open mind about it and a lot of people's minds were closed based on narrow information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know what you're talking about.... running the site for decades? Who cares what time I'm posting? What does that have to do with anything. 7:00 a.m. on Christmas Eve means I can't post? What does that have to do with anything being discussed here? And if you weren't sure what healthy conversation could be had, you didn't have to reply. You made that choice. Somebody clearly posted in this thread that Kane stinks... I rebutted with some stats that say it's clearly not the case. This happens here everyday. I don't even know why you got involved, but when you try to say "nobody said he stinks", and I literally posted the proof that somebody did say that, the conversation should be over as far as I'm concerned. You jumped into something You didn't need to, and you were wrong. Just let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the comment about the guy running the site. i was mistaken about that. I thought it was Phil that made the comment. Guess it was actually Brooks wh is another long time user. My apologizes. Point really is the same but whatever. As i said, hindsight is an amazing tool. Have fun with your incredibly fun crusade on pointing out every wrong post. It just seems like an extremely petty thing to do bordering on trolling but you just keep being you. Hindsight is an amazing tool. Most, including yourself didn't want him here. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
