This was hanging out on my “For You” page on YouTube, but the Hockey News’s Michael Whitaker beat me to the punch, so he gets credit.
Patrick Kane spoke with ESPN Chicago’s “Carmen and Jurko” today, and it’s a light-hearted, Chicago-oriented 26-minute conversation ahead of what is supposedly “Patrick Kane Day” in Chicago on August 8th (8/8).
Kane mostly talks about his Stanley Cup-winning goal in 2010, his love for Chicago, where he’s likely to retire, his hopes to continue playing at a high level for 1,500 games (he’s at 1302 games now), his desire to return to playoff hockey, his return to Chicago as a Red Wing, the Hawks’ Stanley Cup celebrations, and there are hints about “Patrick Kane Day” before he Jonathan Toews’ comeback, he discusses Connor Bedard and the Blackhawks’ future, his son’s status as a hockey nut, his golf game, and he apparently wanted to re-sign with Detroit for a year, saying that it’s a great spot to be despite the rivalry with Chicago, and that the fans have embraced him.
