We will miss Kane, hopefully not for long.
The Wings have to develop consistency over time to truly be successful. They've flirted with the fans before with win streaks and then fell flat on their faces. Once the short-term adrenaline rush is over, how well will they play. That's the question in my book.
I don't say Patrick Kane has never HAD a concussion, bc every hockey player has had at least 1 concussion and I can remember a few specific hits over the years (very few) that likely left him concussed. But I will say I cannot recall Kane ever missing a game with a concussion, let alone multiple games. If that's what this is, congrats to McLellan for causing something that hadn't happened even once in 18 seasons and 11 playoffs. He had no business being out there with JT Compher in overtime. None. But when you are randomly favoring random rookies, and randomly disrespecting legends of the game, weird things happen, like Kane being buried in the OT lineup even with Raymond out and stuck with a linemate with no skill, so that the only way he felt he could win the game was to try to do weird solo heroics. And that is how he hurt himself. Trying to make do with what an egregiously bad, pretty much inexplicable coaching decision left him to work with.
Coaching malpractice. And not the first or the last coaching malpractice we've seen involving this coach and this player.
We are going to lose hockey games this year. It’s just fate. But it’s how we respond to a loss and whether or not the team breaks down mentally like Todd noted at the end of the season in his final press conference last year.
Is Kane really 155 lbs? NHL lists him as 155😳
If Finnie gets 40-55 pts this season…he is never relinquishing his spot on the first line. Simple. Finnie just turned 20 a few months ago…keep that on mind. He will only get better and stronger and both appear to be happening quickly. High IQ and determination to succeed whether that be mebtally or physically.
Wings have a great combo of guaranteed contracts vs. Upcomming contracts vs. Expiring contracts. Everyone pushes everyone
