Even as a Canuck fan, the post-game interview definitely got to me as my Grandfather passed away not too long ago as well.

You would think the media could be classy enough to give the guy a night off from interviews. I think its gross they put him through that, and for what, an interview sound bite. Pathetic.

Agreed. Team could have also asked the league for permission before the game for him to be excused and I'm sure they would have allowed it.

that was harder to watch than the Kings playing Mary had a little lamb on the goal posts and dropping our 16th game out of 20 like it was 5th period French class.

I agree with you guys. Let the guy be. Let him have his moment to himself that night.

Good post...I don't think anyone would have faulted Kaner for sitting this one out given the news, yet he used the sport we all love as a coping mechanism, and really shined. It's a sad story, and he really handled it well, interviews and all...

You're right I should feel bad for someone I don't know.

Rather talk about another Kings loss, not American Bieber having a tough night

I don't particularly like the guy, but I at least sympathize for his loss....

While you are at it, here's another word you ought to look up.

E-M-P-A-T-H-Y

With a lot of work and some more life experience to have some concern about anyone but yourself, in a decade or so you might come off like a complete douchebag.

lemme guess you're eleven-teen and haven't even lived life yet.

you are forgiven.

With a join date of 2006, it's doubtful that would be the excuse.

Can't spell apathetic without "pathetic" and that moron has that covered.

Thank you. A note to the mods out there who ban bloggers for one thing or another, I would think this ranks right up their in realm of bad taste blogs and a tinge of hate. How about it Mods? You've banned others for less.

Condolences to the Tatar and Kane families from your NHL family. Terrible news. May you guys find strength in this time of need.

We don't devote enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks. Maybe there just isn't one.
