Patrick Kane, a budding star with the Chicago Blackhawks who won the 2008 Calder Trophy as the league's best rookie, was arrested early Sunday morning in Buffalo.
Kane, who is the face of EA Sports "NHL '10" video game and was voted a starter in the 2009 All-Star Game, allegedly hit a cab driver.
This comes as breaking news to fans who watch the Blackhawks; not because one of the best young players on the team was in a police car, but because Kane actually hit someone.
The biggest knock on Kane in his brief career has been that he's just not physical enough. Granted, he looks like he's more physically ready for driver's ed than the Western Conference Finals, the fact that he hit someone has to bring a smile to faces of his coaches and teammates.
The cab driver alleges that Kane and a relative asked him for change around 4 o'clock in the morning Sunday, and when he didn't have 20 cents they hit him and refused to pay for a $13.80 cab ride.
What are rookie salaries in the NHL these days? Somebody get this kid a credit card!

I was reading this story last night, and if it went down exactly how they said it did, this dude has serious anger management issues. I mean, 20 cents? Forget that he's a pro athlete and makes gazillons of dollars. Would you or I even through a fit over 20 cents? I seriously doubt it.

There has to be more to it than that...maybe the cabbie said the Blackhawk suck...or maybe he called Kane a Lady Bying Candidate...

One would certainly think there has to be more to it. Some missing link where it'll make a little bit of sense.

No, why does there have to be something missing? These guys get a sense of entitlement. Remember the Steeler kicker that freaked because the dispenser was out of towels?
Kane and his friends were out on the town, everyone has been telling him how great he is, and now the darn cabbie doesnt have change. Its not the 20 cents. Its the idea of it all.
I believe he was charged with robbery for not paying for the cab ride.
