Calling someone an ahole really isn't racist, nor condemning a person for abandoning a wife and kid while he blows money partying in Europe.
Nor is calling Kane trash.
This feels like its been building for a while with Kane. We heard about it in Winnipeg. I doubt the team is going to be all that concerned with rallying around Kane. He is probably going to get investigated 10 ways from Sunday, not only by the NHL. But I wouldn't want him on the Flames.
I doubt that all of his debt is with "reputable" lenders, and there's probably more debt that's not on paper. Even with his NHL contact, Casino's are linked as they look at deadbeats and cheaters. So I'm betting there are some off the book bookmakers that have his name in a little book, that are interested in having discussions with him on where their money is. But because the spotlight is on him, they can't just shoot him in the head and ram his body into a chemical barrel.
Kane has responded as well this morning.
