I think that's the only way he's managed to survive. When Chicago drafted Kane, I thought, man, this dipsy-doodling/dangling scrawny looking kid is going to be absolutely destroyed (little did we know that he would actually be able to hold his own quite well....at least against cab-drivers ) . I've been amazed at his durability ever since he came into the league; however, as you noted, that is most likely as a result of his ability to think the game at a much higher speed than the average player

Yeah the other players I would put in that category would be Crosby, Getzlaf, Thornton, Sedins from 3 years ago........ Jamie Benn is also developing the skill.

Very rare skill.

I agree. As much as I want to hate Kane, I can't. "The kid's just that good."

Yeah man. The only thing keeping me afloat right now are thoughts of an E. Kane - Henrik - Vanek first line.

I hope that's bourbon.

Kane is one of a handful of guys that sees the game in slow-motion.

It's like he is playing against 70 yr old cabbies.

This waiting game is total BS - I'm getting impatient and want SOMETHING to happen for the club.

No - they missed the playoffs for the first time since 2007, writing has been on the wall for some time in the media.

Vantel - can you write a guest blog today so Carol can get out and enjoy the day…wow it's nice out there today!!

I've got a "to do list" of things while my wife goes golfing with her girlfriends, so I'll be around the house all day to proof read it for you.

Oates would look great in Van as an assistant. He could hopefully fix the PP.

While I've got a few minutes Vantel, who do you think other teams would give up for the twins, teams that have the cap space?

NYI - Stome, Reinhart & the 5th overall?

Does that make us better for the future? Pretty big gamble - no?

Maybe if he still played he could QB the PP?

What would it take to get Crosby? Horvat, Kesler, Hamhuis(or Bieksa) and a 1st or 2?
