Michael Pachla: Ottawa downs Sabres. Game notes plus other quick shots. LW, Evander Kane shines

I like Kane's no nonsense approach on the PP. He's got his mind made up on what he's doing with the puck before he gets it and does a pretty good job getting it on net.

My favourite bit was Reinhart on the 2nd powerplay unit with a bunch of scrubs. You could tell how badly he wanted to set a teammate up but just couldn't find someone with enough talent

yeah...I think he's got his mind made up as to who he is and who he wants to be period...may have ruffled some feathers in winnipeg

He is definately someone we havnt had on this team since maybe mogilny in the sense that he shoots first. And also shoots second. Sick of guys who have clear shots then try to pass and get it broken up

Unlike airport security, fans will be able to keep keys, coins, wallets, jackets, belts, shoes, watches and jewelry on them whilst walking through.

We have to take all that stuff out of our pockets in Nashville.

How many roster players did the Sens have on the team last night. Didn't look like many.

So I wasn't on the last 2 days and since the press conference yesterday here are my thoughts on this circus and joke that is being played in the media.

1.) If that is not the original evidence bag this is just a massive damage control plot at this point.

2.) This could actually be damaging to Kane and his defense. None of the DNA evidence will be admissible (or lack there of) in court. So Kane's defense of no DNA present wouldn't be allowed and it turns into his word against hers. Since this has been tried out in the media there is no way he get a fair shake.

3.) If it is the original evidence bag then there is some major screw ups and cover ups. This is not going to go away any time soon.

4.) If I was Kane and the Hawks do have a trade in the works I would veto a trade to Buffalo.

It's the same in LA. Anaheim just does the wand, but you have to empty your pockets.

Its a HEAVY metal detector.
No back patches or long hair (on men) please.

Yeah, as a second layer of security, if you throw horns or bang your head, you're out.

In all seriousness, Kane is looking like the real deal. One game, i know, but that line AND the eichel line on a team sounds real good to me.
I think Kane or Eichel on defensive zone faceoffs on the PK could be lethal with their speed.

Yes, Reign In Blood

It also adds a level of danger that we haven't had in a long time when it comes to the PK. If they get a chance to go, there is a strong possibility of a scoring chance. Keeps the other team on their toes.
