Fateless Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Don't get me wrong, I think Kane is a great player and plays a pretty clean game. With that said, you can judge for yourself, but the video looks like a dive gone wrong. Here is the video: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=754960&navid=nhl:topheads There is almost a second or two in between the mild cross-check and Kane losing his footing going into the boards. I hardly see this as vicious and it almost looks like Kane dives or at the very least loses his footing on his own causing an injury. What is everyone else's thoughts?

NightHawkSniper Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Didn't realize Kane wanted to injure himself that badly, what a weird dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 "Patrick Kane takes a nasty hit from behind" Yeah, That wasn't nasty at all. So, he either dove or lost his balance... I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and that he lost his balance. But, if it's the case that he dove, then... this is the proof that hockey god exists!!!!!

Rick Grimes Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 No disrespect to PKane meant, I just don't buy that he fell that easily. Either Petrovic is a beast and I don't know, or Patrick Kane is a god damn ballerina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 As much as I dislike the guys attitude, that's no dive. He lost his balance in conjunction to the cross check from behind. When your as light as Kane and skate the way he does (which keeps you near the edge of your balance to increase your speed) it doesn't take much to lose your balance. The guy who hit him had no clue of this so was surprised he went down so easy, thus making it look like a dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 LOL he's injured and you question if he dove.. Petrovic pushes him from the back - imagine you're running forward and someone pushes you from the back That's what would happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.DirtyDangles Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 WTF are those announcers on ? A nasty hit from behind ? He was lightly tapped in the waist then it looks like a bit of embellishment that went horribly wrong for Kane. In no way shape or form was that from behind lool.

Petrovic pushes him from the back - imagine you're running forward and someone pushes you from the back That's what would happen Except if you watch the replay in slow-mo, it doesn't appear that Kane suffers from loss of balance until moments after the shove. People get injured all the time for attempting to embellish a call, its not that crazy. I also mentioned he may have lost balance but that it doesn't appear to be related to the "cross-check".

Ashby17 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Pretty soft cross check. Delayed fall.. Rough injury but that looks like a dive. "no chance to defend/protect himself" from the Chicago commentator. I think that's definitely an embellishment gone horribly wrong for the "coulda shoulda woulda" Art Ross leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Building Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't think Kane is stupid enough to "dive" head/shoulder first into the boards in an attempt to draw a 2 minute minor. He may have antics, but that would be completely idiotic no? The push is so incredibly slight, but it is on the hips just a fraction before his left skate ticks against the ice. It looks like his skate skips, and he goes down. IF it's a dive, and I have a hard time believing it is (even though it looks a little suspect), it was a reckless one for sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFvd8-QI1Vo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Because he was pushed in a direction he was already going Yeah, and probably realized that with the extra momentum he wasn't going to be able to stop in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowYaDrouin Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 He has a broken Collarbone... Which means he's done for the season... and maybe for the playoffs as well. Usually takes about 10-12 weeks to fully recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robongo Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hansen had a pretty bad embellishment today so lets try not to be to0 bias..but yeah throwing yourself head first into the boards for a two minute powerplay is pretty stupid. Maybe he just lost his balance who knows, just hope hes not hurt too bad. No, no he didn't. Check out the stick around his throat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormriders Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Not a chance. No one would 'dive' moving down into the boards. Great way to create real issues. Kane has been around long enough and played enough he is 'super' aware of where he is and everyone else is. That's why he rarely gets hit. NO DIVE.

Darth Kane Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Seriously? One of the best players of the season is likely done for the year and people think he dove? Kane didn't dive, plain and simple. I also don't think it was a dirty hit, it was just an unfortunate play that cost the Blackhawks dearly.

drdeath Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I almost feel bad for the Hawks commentators because our team certainly knows about injury trouble but I had to lol at "nasty hit from behind". That was neither a hit nor was it from behind. It was a crosscheck to the side. Definitely not a dive though. Kane just lost his footing from the crosscheck.

Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 These guys are in the NHL, they aren't timbits. A light shove like that should not throw you off balance that easily, if that were the case we would see it alot more often, pushes to the side like that happen 50 times a game with no negative results. It's not even debatable, this is not a dive. I don't think Kane is stupid enough to "dive" head/shoulder first into the boards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFvd8-QI1Vo Look at his left skate in the video 0:37 seconds. He is in the process of lifting his skate and settling it when he is given the push, so he loses his balance. This is not even debatable guys.
