Evander Kane being the aggressor on Keegan Kolesar – Tough Call Suspension Recommendation
Evander Kane sent a message to the Golden Knights and stuck up for a team mate by taking down Keegan Kolesar and punching him while he was down. He also violated the rulebook and should have been punished accordingly.
I caught hell in the comments yesterday but screw it, imma double down. Dude should be suspended. Dude threw a player to the ice and was punching a defenseless player repeatedly following a typical scrum. I mean… if we’re gonna suspend goalies for throwing a punch with their blocker? This is a no brainer. I suppose the only bright side is he didn’t punch him in the head or the “midsection”
5 games lol. Those body shots were weak. Kane held back. Could have went for the face and really messed him up if he wanted. If that’s 5 games I say go for the face next time and make it worth it. Vegas was getting smashed on the scoreboard and then started gooning and couldn’t do that either. Don’t write checks your ass can’t cash.
When i saw Kane hitting the guy in the stomach i thought '' nice , hes not hitting him in the head while downed'.. stop finding issues where there are none
Haymakers…learn what Haymakers are and Kolesar is wearing a set of shoulder pads with a chest protector…. Now you should remember to wear your helmet , you obviously have forgot it in the past and bumped your head
You're calling Kane's punches Haymakers? He is clearly pulling the punches and barely hitting the guy. He's just sending a message of what he could do if he needs to. He's letting the guy know that he could punch him harder but he's not doing it.
"Everyone's just paired up". Watch again. It starts 2 on 1 against Bjugstad, Kane comes to EVEN up. That's not an agressor. Kolesar was the 3rd Knight in a 2 on 2 scene. F around….find out! Kane didn't escalate but I'll agree the body shots on the ice were unnecessary.
I don't think that's worthy of suspension, that's a scrum in the playoffs. When you gang up on a guy like Vegas does there, you better make sure someone accounts for a player like Kane, he's not gonna lose most scrums.
Kane is an intent to injury player. He has been doing stuff like this all his career. Suspended last playoffs and i'm sure he'll be suspended for something else this year.
I mean he also put Kane in a headlock, ripped his helmet off. Honestly Kane with some restraint there in not feeding him face punches. That was less intent to injure and more sending a message. You ever get punched in body armor? It doesn't hurt that much. Penalty and I think he got 10 for that in game? Seems a reasonable punishment and worth it on Kane's part.
What a meatball take. At no time was it two oilers going after on golden knight but twice in the clip it was two golden knights tryiung to mess with an oiler.
EDM fan here – 5 games is a tough punishment given this circumstance, but I agree with your entire analysis. Kane's actions are certainly on the lower end of the threshold for 46.2, but they still fit within the parameters of the rule, so it must be enforced for consistency.
Has anyone ever been suspended for throwing punches strictly to the body of a vulnerable player? Its not an inherently dangerous play, a suspension would make no sense
Lol buddy. You need to go back to bed. Kane was standing up for his team mate and was jumped from behind for it. So he fed the guy. Just stop and go back to bed.
What's the deal with all these pansy assed people calling for suspensions for every little infraction? It's playoff hockey and he didn't do sh!t to Petch. Let's not forget that Jordan Eberle just broke Cogliano's neck. If that isn't a suspension, then this shouldn't be anything more than $5k, so let's move on.
Kane jumps in when it’s 2 Vegas guys against 1 you chowder. Kane was making it even. You obviously don’t see don’t it that way, kolser jumps in after , so let him get the beats chump
When two guys are going after one guy and then their teammate tries to hold you back from helping him it’s the same thing as teaming up on the one guy. The bruins do this all the time except the panthers didn’t get bullied since they have players like Tkachuck and Bennet.
This guys who posted is such a moron. Look at the whole picture. Ever play the game? If you did you would know that Kolesar deserved every bit. Good job Evander. Kolesar is dirty and we all know it. Ask Ekholm.

No ref was there to stop fight … so give er until there is.
bro shut up just run the clip…
so 2 VGK on 1 EDM, it gives Kolesar the clear to grab E Kane from behind when he came in to help? wtf are you even talkin bout, sit the x down
Now you're forgetting that he blew a kiss to Vegas Karen afterwards. That has to be worth taking a game or two off the suspension.

Wait a minute YOU DIDN'T SHOW THE SLASHES !
try wearing some jock straps instead of panties mate
It was 2 on 1 and Kane tried to help his teammate. Kolesar came over and grabbed him from the back. YOU ARE WRONG. Tell kolesar ICE UP
lmfao Kane a G
If you think this is a suspension, go watch basketball – hockey isn’t the sport for you.
Great job kANE
Vegas played dirty and cheap shots thren got what they deserved

F'ed around and found out. He wasn't an unwilling combatant he was a losing combatant
If this was Tom Wilson everyone would be calling for him to be kicked from the NHL
Oh shush it you whiner, can I put a pamper on you. Kane said we will do the punishing and it's hockey, aggression is all about it. Fok guy 😂😅

Tough call just lost all cred imo.

Kane is an absolute POS, and him cross checking Pietrangelo in the face today just proves it.
Funny things those punches. So weak.

Kane is a born looser. Nobody wanted him except Edmonton.
Kane got away with dirty ass play against the Kings. Someone needs to settle his ass for good.
So you’re a Knights fan…..yeah, no more views from me.
Quick someone call a wambulance!
This guy is definitely a knights fan
Not a hockey fight
Kane jumps in when it’s 2 Vegas guys against 1 you chowder. Kane was making it even. You obviously don’t see don’t it that way, kolser jumps in after , so let him get the beats chump
Dont trigger all the deadmonton fans. Their self confidence and identify revolve areound the coilers. 😂😂😂
Is this not playoff hockey?

Kolesar jumped him and got hammered. How is kane the aggressor?
Two guys were going at one so Kane grabbed one then got jumped from behind by kolesar so he did what he had to do
Your a joke buddy.
This guys who posted is such a moron. Look at the whole picture. Ever play the game? If you did you would know that Kolesar deserved every bit. Good job Evander. Kolesar is dirty and we all know it. Ask Ekholm.
I'll allow it
