  1. I hope we can see kane cover the point and activate the defense more. Gotta take advantage of kane's shooting power from range

  2. He's clearly annoyed. His answers are typical and sarcastic. He's a good player, no need to piss him off. NHL is so quirky.

  3. Am I the only one who thinks CeCi has been alright, but Bouchard is the one who needs fixing defensively (like a lot) but basics for sure.

  4. Players and team with too much EGO vs their record. While I’m a fan, Goilers are still an “almost also ran” team. Definition of “lots of potential” is… “haven’t really done anything yet”.

  5. I know he hasn't been actually scoring as much as even he would like…but man he is needed and i hope he gets angry missing a game. Good.
    I sure as hell have 3 other people I would sit long before him I can say that honestly….long as we are holding 'accountability'.

  6. Kane is my
    Favourite player, but this time heading into playoffs will dictate if he’s gonna pout or put everyone to shame and show them up.

  7. That was no "maintenance day" LOL he gives these short answers when he is upset. That thing with Leon was more than just competitive juices flowing and strategy discussion.

  8. Clearly he was sat for his trash attitude in typical evander fashion, ship him out in the off-season, no room on the roster for caillou kane

  9. This game is all about getting hot at the right time and getting cold at the wrong time. No team has a season like Boston had last year or Vancouver's having this year, pumping out the President's trophies year after year. It's still mathematically possible the Oilers don't make the playoffs, but they would literally have to have one of the worst losing steaks in franchise history for that to happen. The last 3 losses looked awfully lot like the beginning of the season. The effort and or shots were there, but the finishing was non existent. That all said, even as an Oiler fan, as inconsistent as the Oilers season has been, I would still put my money on the Oilers to win the first round oppose to Boston or Vancouver winning their first round. The Oilers have a way of lighting up the passion and drive in the playoffs. It's just frustrating how sometimes the regular season seems like a completely boring excercise to them and even worse a part of the year that has no intrinsic value to the team. That's my take on the season thus far. Go Oilers!

  10. He was a healthy scratch to try and wake him up. He is paid a lot and isn't producing either goals or the physical game. You can hear it in his reply. "…I guess so…" that is his way of not saying he was off not due to injury but due to poor performance. Hopefully he wakes up.

  11. He wants to play like anyone maybe this will work for him I don't see how they think he is playing bad he isn't scoring but has always been right there can think of other players who deserve a break day why get a guy angry your going to need in playoffs some of other forwards need stop whining your going to take all chemistry away just before playoffs Drisit needs to grow up if he is complaining even at all star game every one was having fun except Dristle he looked miserable the entire time camera was on him they don't need petty crap going into playoffs and cane has always been one of best playoff contributing in the last 2 runs come on get it together I just think worse things to do to a player like cane before playoffs

  12. Evander remember, backchech, forecheck, paycheque! The rest will take care of itself. Now quit pouting and score some goals.

  13. Kane will be more intense during playoff. He doesnt seem to care much about regular season for now. He definitely has the potential to play hard and be top 6 oiler. Just depends on his motivation

  14. Put Kane on the 1st line with McDavid and Hyman. Nuge hasn't scored in 6-9 games himself. See if Nuge and Drisidle can get that second line going. Because Fogle and McLeod are 4th liners come playoff time

  15. He was clearly scratched for having no physical response in Toronto. Guaranteed this is what Leon was saying on the bench to him

  16. So the team respectfully covers up the obvious scratch by saying maintenance day. Then you come out and make it obvious it was more than that. Wow Kane is losing my respect in a hurry. Seems like the selfish baby didn't actually grow up.

    I was disgusted in the team on Saturday. How nobody did anything about the leafs taking cheap shots on Conner and Leon.

  17. I’m not saying BUT I’m saying there r off ice personal issues going on with Kane and it ain’t good.

  18. Honestly, it’s not a big concern he doesn’t give his 100% for game 68 of 82 vs random teams like Ottawa , Columbus. We all know Evander turns his game up for big moments especially during the post season

  19. Kane has the power to change the course of a game and be a true power forward. I love the guy, but he needs to stop whining and be the great player that he is. Someone needs to tell him, he can change the game if he wants to..
