I wasn't ever a huge hater or lover for Kane but I kinda see where he's coming from. I think it has a lot to do with the fan base and not so much his race. He's playing the race card because maybe he feels differently about something that's happened to him in the peg. Maybe he was treated differently there than other players. I know Buff is there and he hasn't played that card but they're at completely different areas of life. Kane is a young punk and there's no denying it but maybe his actions were blown out of proportion because of his race...who knows. All I know is that he didn't like playing in winnipeg and I think the fan base had a lot to do with it.

IMO Kane is a punk but the Winterpeg doesn't seem like the kind of place that fully accepted him, not because of his race but because he just didn't fit in there. I don't think it's too surprising that he never really wanted to be there.

And as for signing an extension, I know it's been said that he was an RFA and that it was signed right before the lock out and that he could have held out but realistically, he had no control in the situation and had do do what the team made him do. Probably another reason why he wanted out of there.

I'll still always love the punch on Cooke.
