People are nuts. Money, fame, success… We all die.
Allegedly Kane has some childhood trauma issues,which has translated into his adult behavioural problems……..
On July 1, 2016, Kane was sued by a 21-year-old woman who accused him of assaulting her in the hotel room where he lived. According to court documents, the woman alleged that Kane "met her in a bar, invited her to what he said was a party and then attacked her, causing cuts and bleeding that required multiple surgeries."[56]
On August 1, 2016, Kane pleaded not guilty to one count of criminal trespassing and four counts of non-criminal harassment after confrontations with four separate people at a downtown Buffalo bar in June 2016. At that time, Kane was a member of the Buffalo Sabres. According to a police report, Kane became involved in a fight with a bouncer at a bar called Bottoms Up, after allegedly grabbing an unnamed woman by the throat and attempting to force her into a car outside the nightclub. A second police report alleged that, in a separate incident, Kane grabbed a woman by the arms inside the nightclub and attempted to force her outside. Kane surrendered to Buffalo police in late July 2016. Said Sabres GM Tim Murray of the incident, "Whether he has done these things or not, or he's guilty of these things or not, it's not something I like getting up in the morning and reading about, that's for sure." The incident came after another incident in February, in which Kane was suspended by the team for missing a practice after attending the NBA All-Star Game in Toronto. GM Murray noted that Kane's off-ice behaviour has been very negative for both the player and the Sabres' organization. The Bottoms Up case was later adjourned and dismissed. Referred to as an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal, a case can be adjourned for more than six months and after a set period of time, the charges are dismissed if the defendant can display and maintain good behavior.[57][58]
On March 14, 2019, Kane announced that his wife Anna had a miscarriage at 26 weeks, a daughter they named Eva.[59]
On November 4, 2019, Kane was sued by The Cosmopolitan casino in Las Vegas after he walked out on a half-million-dollar gambling debt. The suit alleged that Kane had received $500,000 in gambling markers from the casino in April while the Sharks were in Las Vegas for a playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights. Such markers are essentially lines of credit which allow casino guests to continue gambling, and those extended to Kane were dispursed in eight separate installments, ranging in value from $20,000 to $100,000. The suit claims that Kane left the casino without making arrangements to settle the debt. The casino sought full restitution plus repayment of legal fees associated with the lawsuit.[60]
On June 8, 2020, Kane co-founded the Hockey Diversity Alliance, alongside former player Akim Aliu, to address intolerance and racism in hockey.[61]
On July 3, 2020, Kane became a father with the birth of his daughter, Kensington.[62]
On January 11, 2021, Kane reportedly filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy in California after amassing $26.8 million of debt.
Don’t gamble more than 5% of what you make.
This guy has a long history of problems. Some will say because his wife put it all out on social media that she is making it up and being a drama queen. Does anyone really think that given his history? Maybe she embellished some things, but there is certainly some truth there. Kane is a dirtbag.
This guy needs professional help and shouldn’t be playing in the NHL period! Just because you have an addiction or mental illness you don’t get a FREE Pass to do what ever you please, the world doesn’t work like that for anyone, rules are rules and in a situation like his ( professional athletes getting paid as there jobs like regular jobs have to follow rules period. This has to STOP!
This is so sad. Guys, wake up, never get married…have children…its a trap, $$$…you want to lose 50% of all your money, get stabbed in the back…go ahead, get married, ruin your life…this is what will happen in 2, 5, 10 years max. Marriage, love, lolllllllllllll…its all a scam, a lie…Its a fact, go do your own research…wake up men…stop it.
All you have to do is look up the South Park episode "Sexual Healing" and watch the "chimps and cash" part. Explains everything pretty well.
With how much in debt he is, and the fact he's won only about 40% of games he's played, at least he put the ML on himself
When Don talks about Nancy Greene is her referring ot the skiier? Did she work for the CBC?
So lets remember was Wayne Gretzky allegedly NOT gambling in his team or is that all allocations. I think it's ONLY illegal if you throw a game or intentional loose for profit
we won't get into that….Grapes: Why? —– LOVE Don
See what happens when you screw over a white woman…..
Still sad he got black listed because he's patriotic to Canada
Black Bets Matter
I miss Don Cherry on Hockey Night in Canada.
If (and I will use the term IF) Evander Kane did bet on NHL Hockey games that is bad enough. If he bet on games involving the San Jose Sharks that is even worse, especially so if he bet on them to lose games. That makes it criminal.
If Kane is innocent his soon to be ex-wife is guilty of defamation of character to say the least.
In any event, somebody committed a wrongdoing. There can be no doubt about that.
After listening to this I still don’t feel I know what Don’s take is on this.
Miss you Don. It’s like listening to robots now
Soooooo glad he's not a Buffalo Sabre any more
Get him out of the league, guys a bum
Evander Kane has all the skill in the world.. I hope this doesn`t finish his career
No secret Kane has always been a bit of scumbag!
Clickbait – he didn't mention anything about the allegations.
Love it if ESPN picks up Don Cherry. DO IT!
Kane is garbage. He has been garbage since Junior's.
Well the sports show where the lady tours pro athletes home back in his earlier days picked up a stack of $50 grand that he then said that is for the casino later on. That was in his condo in Vegas I believe. Just interesting considering the news of late regarding Kane.
Wait. Don Cherry is still alive?
True or not word has it his teammates don't want him back. That says it all.
We love Evander in Edmonton!
She tricked him!
