Patrick Kane Pre-Draft Feature

[GriffinHelpers]

Anyone know what curve he used? Looks like a Shanny...

[pasqualebrow1230]

This video went viral on Greece

[TheThenerdanotor12]

how did he get to live with Verbeek, did he already know him

[SuperNomis96]

Bdillonfb ohl and whl are both under the chl u fuckin retard

[luthergeddy]

Patrick Kane is awesome. I watched him play here for The London Knights and noticed him right away. Chicago is my 2nd favorite team now because of him.

-- Go Leafs -- 2012 Die hard !

[Rey123Duncan]

I HATE KANE D: ANNOYING CHELSEA DAGGER :P

-obvious canuck here-

haha, he's a pretty cool player. Cant really hate a player cause one day, he might end up in your home team :P

[nichonr95]

haha routing for his home town sabres (wearing devils jersey)

[shadowyface]

This guy is an idiot talking about England or london. He is American that's y he played for team USA

[dizzydreamaway]

@shadowyface London is in Ontario, idiot. He played for the London Knights of London, Ontario, Canada.

[beasttv2]

@shadowyface haha god u are a stupid fuck arnet you you probly like the Rangers

Learn real fuking hockey you dumb fuck

[Pensgirl29]

he wore 87 captain Pittsburgh before Crosby was around :) wow !

[iDangle16]

@yostreetz

There is an NHL draft watch list. Top prospects are placed on it as low as the age of 14.

[joelmarte1411]

He had greasy style back in junior.. now hes just sick all around

[YoStreetz]

ok i dont get it. in an entry draft how many teams get to pick ? cuz like i see the list of like all the NHL teams and also how do the players get to the draft ? does like the whole OHL go to the draft or like how do they get picked to the draft cuz i see so many players at the draft and thats why some people are picked like #133 overall so ya. does the whole OHL go or something or how do u get picked to the draft ? if u do get picked to the draft will a NHL team automtically pick u ?

[dizzydreamaway]

@YoStreetz You have to have an agent. You also have to be playing in minors triple A basically to even be considered worth drafting. OHL, QMJHL, AHL, WHL, and European equals. All teams get to pick in the draft, but since there's 30 NHL teams, it's a long time between picks. Draft order changes each round - if you have 1st pick in 1st round, you get last pick in 2nd round. An NHL team picks you at the draft, but it doesn't mean you're in the league. If you don't make camp in Sept, you don't play

[xxaimpiratexx]

@dizzydreamaway Don't forget the NCAA as well...Toews came from the University of North Dakota and was scouted after going to the frozen four twice.

[darii81]

Kane is best player!

[blazingudd22]

Thank you KANE

[bukakee1]

He is 5'10" thats not that short. Theo Fluery was a tiny dude and he made it in good.

[ColdDish1]

@GOMaX61 His parents met at a Buffalo Sabres game

[ZOLOCA]

Toews owns two Gold Medals at the World Juniors, 1 World Championship, 1 Gold Medal. He also was the allstar of the Olympic tourny, and will be the youngest captain to have a stanley cup ring and conn smyth.

If Kane is going to have any success it will be from swimming in Toew's wake.

[troyMLG]

@ZOLOCA And Toews can actually play defense too. And Toews is Canadian also :P

[USAhockeyandLAX03]

@ZOLOCA Kane had more points every year in the nhl, and through playoffs 09. This years playoffs toews had one more point thats it. Either way you listed all team achievements with mostly related to team canada. Yes Toews won the conn smyth and took crosby off the youngest captain to hoist the cup, but who scored the OT winner so that toews could be that guy to get those awards? Oh yeah.. thanks kaner.

[michaelgee33]

@USAhockeyandLAX03 Crosby was still younger than Toews when he hoisted the cup. Slighty younger than Toews

[dizzydreamaway]

@ZOLOCA Toews is not the youngest captain to hoist the Cup. He's the youngest captain of the Blackhawks to have hoisted the Cup. Sidney Crosby was still younger than Toews when he lifted the Cup in 2009. Crosby was 21. Toews had already turned 22 by the finals.

[sharkstowinthecup]

im a sharks fan but i gotta say pat kane is one heck of a hockey player

[hydr5]

Played a game against him in a tournament, dominated us 4-1 or something

[jamesfkpro]

Buffalo all the way oh ya and Chicago your welcome

[xBLaCkHaWkS]

How did he not win CHL player of the year? He had 11 more points then Tavares in 9 less games. Obviously Tavares had more goals, but Kane would have had 70+ goals too if he had played those extra 9 games.

[DUDE245269]

@xBLaCkHaWkS Most points doesn't always win player of the year.

[SuckCack]

he played for the west seneca wings, they suck.

[gregvoros]

all the best american players come from the chl

Kane is a beaut!

[WFR]

@gregvoros

Kane played in London,England

[gregvoros]

@WFR

He played for the London Knights

of London Ontario, which is canada

good try though!

[WFR]

lol

[BeorgeWGush]

Hahahahahahahahahaha you are a idiot

[WFR]

-.-

[stealthboy19]

@WFR NO! he played in my city London, ON

[techdecklord32]

@WFR they meant london ontario

[WFR]

@techdecklord32

No it was London England if i remember correctly

[hockeyg609]

@WFR- they don't play hockey in england. good try though i bet you put a lot of effort into that one buddy.

[WFR]

@hockeyg609

That was kind of my point

[Mmonk3y]

@hockeyg609 they play hockey in england :)

[sharks0003]

@gregvoros yeah no crap they come from the CHL lol cuz thats the American Semi pro league lol there else do they come from? WHL is like all juniors age kids and OHL is mostly Canucks

[bdillonfb]

@gregvoros he played in the ohl for the knigts



[iinna09]

peeeeeee kane :D hes is flipppin awesomeee!

[cacc6]

Kaner has an incredible feel for the puck and a vision for the ice as if he was looking from a birds eye view...something extremely rare in such a young player. Look out for this kid for years to come. Not to mention his celly's are nastyyyy

[Dannnn18]

pppppppppp kaneeeeeeeeee

[supernicewitit]

he was supposed to go to the flyers, chi town is lucky that the league cheated the flyers.

[boipinoi604]

good, because flyer is such a dirty team

[stanleyslump22]

how were they cheated?

[supernicewitit]

the flyers had BY FAR the worst record in the league. Cuz of a lottery, the blackhawks were able to get lucky and win the first overall pick by chance.

[gravino555]

@supernicewitit stop complaining the flyers got van riemsdyk whos going to be an amazing player, you guys didnt get cheated, thats why its a lottery, you had the better odds but you didnt get #1

[supernicewitit]

Im not bitching, im simpley stateing a fact.

[stanleyslump22]

ah i see....when was the lottery started? i dont remember. if it was that year then that sucks, but if they were represented the most in the lottery (which if the worst record they had to be right?), then i would not say cheated, just terrible timing to implement a draft

[xBLaCkHaWkS]

The lottery was implemented during CROSBY's draft. That draft was also known as "the Crosby sweepstakes".

Chicago isn't lucky, Philadelphia is just all around bad, and they still got the 2nd overall pick so...

[mihlbauer95]

you no that your brother will never make it anywhere

[DallasRedsoxfan]

how do you know?

[LeafsFanInOttawa]

Should I clap or dance for you?

[DallasRedsoxfan]

blow me cuz u like the leafs faggot

[reptilelover56]

@DallasRedsoxfan  you like dallas

[CodeOuch]

I don't know.... something is just off about this kid. Great hockey player. But when it comes down to it... I'd picl Towes over him.,

[CodeOuch]

maybe because hes just going ot be a thorn in the side of team Canada in the vancouver olympics.

[pridehockey88]

good thing your never going to pick a team

[thecardman8899]

kane is so awesome :) he rocks

[springwaterf005]

hes on the cover of nhl 10

[jay666er]

Agreed. You have no idea what you're talking AB. Chicago is an original 6 team. Of course it's a hockey town. We were just not able 2 root for a team that was foolishly non-existent 4 ages. All that's changed now. The fans were always here waiting.

I live in Chicago & grew up in Buffalo where Kane is also from. I grew up with the Sabres & have been waiting for 4 the  Hawks 4 over a decade since moving here. From 1 hockey town 2 another, I can vouch 4 personally being part of something special.

[quietriot46]

Patrick and the other hawks better get used to their bandwagon fans.I notice they get down on their team pretty easily.If the Blackhawks falter so do their fans they are not a true hockey town or true hockey fans

[022171]

clearly, you know nothing about the hawks' fan base. with a hot team, you're always going to have bandwagon fans. but to say that chicago isn't a hockey town with true fans shows that you have no idea what you're talking about.

[Iluvjordan24]

did patrick kane attend kaneland high school in illinois

[hiyoup12]

kanes the shit

[BRAYMOND21]

actuall the khl in russia is offering players much more money than the nhl. evgeni malkin was offered 17 million a year to play in russia. the fact is that the best competition in the world is in the nhl which is an american league, that is why they play here.

[patches0007]

its all funded by the russian mob

[QtommyQ]

Many of those KHL teams are defaultinng on paying those big contracts.  They are also being affected by the everchanging exchange rates. The KHL is not what it was supposed to be.

[russianrocket2]

hahaha u are an idiot, u don't realize that the reason why hockey is in american is because their is a lot of population and money, its just like a hot chick would marry a guy with a lot of money just to use him, same thing here canadians and europeans play in the america because its got a lot of money and a big population but in reality the canadians and europeans talk shit about americans all the time, so that makes americans tool bags hahaha

[Nocashstyle]

You used "their" incorrectly, the entire sentence is a giant run-on, you used "u" instead of "you", and you did not capitalize any words.

[Gonzoonyou]

way to make this a fucking english leeeessson. make this relevant to the video

[Nocashstyle]

because America's policies are relevant to the video?

[Gonzoonyou]

hmmm... no jackass, I am American. make this about hockey and quit being a bitch

[Nocashstyle]

Are you fucking stupid? I was commenting on someone's comment about America which was totally unrelated to the video. So don't tell me to make my comments "relevant"

[Gonzoonyou]

MAKE THEM RELEVANT

[quicksnipe23]

maybe russia shouldn't be so fucking poor then they can have the pros play there.

[Gonzoonyou]

y don't you get an education before making ignorant comments jackass

[quicksnipe23]

i was talking to the russian guy that was bashing america for hosting the nhl. it was sarcasm. why dont you find something better to do then comment on youtube videos

[SJPJames]

your Russian buddy take a seat

[russianrocket2]

im an idiot because i don't follow chicago blackhawks?? yea idk i just heard someone else tell me that he said he wanted to play in buffalo in the future, and yea ur american u can't call a russian or canadian an idiot when it comes to hockey

[EPN17]

And I'll call you whatever I want, you idiot, regardless of your country. If you hadn't noticed, the only reason the NHL stays afloat is because it is based in AMERICA, with a majority of it's teams in AMERICA. 4 of the original six teams (including the Blackhawks) were AMERICAN, Hockey stays relevant largely due to the American influence, period.

[russianrocket2]

i know they support him and he plays great with them but he really does wanna play for the sabres together with mike ratchuk since their from buffalo and are real good friends, i wouln't be making this up man

[EPN17]

Wow your an idiot. Kane has already stated that now that he's been here he doesn't want to play anywhere else than Chicago. Here he's the face of the franchise and is surrounded by enough talent in Toews, Sharp, and Cambell to make this team a championship contender NOW. He isn't going to jump ship to a dead end team like Buffalo regardless of his personal affinity for the team.

[russianrocket2]

in case anyone is wondering he really wants to play on the sabres along with mike ratchuk so he deffinetly won't retire as a hawk, im not a sabres fan or anything i just know its a fact

[Eggameboy]

BULL SHIT. dude u dont now what the hawks have done with him. The Hawks all support him. have u seen a game? Hes the reason the win and score

[russianrocket2]

it was only his first season and he's not worse than crosby, ovechkin, or frantzen, he could deffinetly beat gretzky's record idc what anyone say's

[NickJonasfan6666]

*I hope we stay Togetehr!

[NickJonasfan6666]

Patrick Kane is amazing plus I'm his gf we have been dating for 4 years now going to be 5 soon! I love you Kaney U hope we stay together forever!

[goggirl21]

then how come his myspace says he's single. p.s. i asked him at the blackhawks convention if he was single and he said yeah. lol your too funny.

[NickJonasfan6666]

hey,

It isn't funny

I am with him

he didn't want to get the girls Jelous!

[goggirl21]

haha...yeah right!! u just like to make things up in ur head.

if he did have a gf he woulda said so ppl could stop malling him.

even if u were together, obviously he doesnt like u bc he keeps saying he's single and talking about "cute" girls he meets that like him.

its pretty patetic to make stuff up like that. ur not fooling anyone.

[provitennis]

this kid is amazing. he is going to take the hawks far this season. i am a huge hawks fan and he is my favorite player!! <33 Pat Kane 88!! <33

[DDevil891]

This kid is going to be huge, if he was on a team with more offensive talent he could have had an 90+ point rookie season.

[NDMike]

Hey Spidysweb,

I love Sabres but the Blackhawks are my team and I hope he retires a Blackhawk.

[Spidysweb]

i hope he plays for the sabres some day

[hockeyfreak1726]

that would be sick

[patrickkane88xoxo]

no because then he has to leave chicago! i will never see him play agian,lol.

[Spidysweb]

well im sort of taking it in the chris drury way, he always wanted to be a ranger when he was younger, so kane will want to be a sabre, i hope, someday

[patrickkane88xoxo]

i hope not. he is good friend with jonny toews too.

[slapshot254]

I hope he goes ahead and does that long after he brings a few Cups to my team. Then he can do whatever he wants.

[Spidysweb]

you need alot more help to get a cup my friend

[slapshot254]

Oh I know but he's going to be an important part of what's being built here in Chicago.

[sharksfan702]

kane and toews are both great players hope to see more cool stuff from them both in the future!

[cptjrkov]

Hope this # 88 keeps his head up !

although he does have the *one* great quality of Lindros in his wrist shot !

[HoRnEtShOcKeY022]

i live across tha st from his parents and he use 2 live there i played roller hockey wit him

[thegypsys023]

what is the address

[hockeyplaya7388]

Patrick Kane is the reason why the Blackhawks will make the playoffs this year

[triggerhappysrt]

[LiLmAnJoE7]
