If we play a fast game, finish our checks hard and beat them on the scoreboard... Kane can run around looking for retribution in the 3rd all he wants. We could ice this before the 3rd anyway, especially with what they have in net.
If they start taking runs, we may not have the biggest guys... but Prout/Bennett/Tkachuk/Hamonic would be enough to stop whatever the Sharks can get going, and none of them are a liability when Kane is out there. Couldn't think of an easier 'threat' to neutralize, though this is 100% fabricated by a) knowing Kane will run around anyway b) a journalist needing a headline
These are definitely the games a Ferland or Simmonds type player takes over, but definitely not anything we need a fighter out there for.
