Donaldjr2448 43 Report post Posted August 9, 2009 I really hate this!! I get soooooo pissed when I see young guys like Kane who have all the talent in the world, and then go do something like this!! Its not like he couldn't afford to pay the damn fare!! What he needs is some jail time and a suspension, if you let him walk this time, he'll do it again! Look at all of the other athletes that do this crap!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their fare was $13.80 and they handed the driver $15, according to a report. The cab driver told police he was punched in the face and head, grabbed by the throat and had his glasses broken during the incident.... http://www.buffalonews.com/home/story/758903.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted August 9, 2009 The 20-year-old Kane and a relative, James M. Kane, 21, were taken into police custody at about 5 a.m. ET after allegedly punching the driver and taking the $15 in fare they had given him after he said he didn't have 20 cents in change, the Buffalo News reported, citing police. If this is true - what a complete dick. Multimillionaire and 1) you clearly have no intention of tipping the cabbie and 2) you are enough of a skinflint to assault someone over 20 cents? What is 20 cents going to buy you that your Blackhawks contract can't? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted August 9, 2009 Wow, that is so utterly disappointing to hear. This guy seemed to be a classy rising star, and was hoping for him to take over Crosby's superstar status. This has completely changed my view of him. I absolutely HATE it when fame and money get to these players' heads, making them believe because of their status, they can do whatever the f*** they want. "High and mighty, pompous, better than everyone else" players can go f*** themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
