Sheng’s Daily: Evander Kane Doesn’t Forget

“Hockey players need to know that they can say no.”

Yesterday at San Jose Hockey Now, we talked about the greater significance of Tuukka Rask’s decision to opt out from the playoffs.

In other San Jose Sharks news…

Boston Bruins announcer Jack Edwards drew much criticism for his crass tweet about Andrei Svechnikov’s injury — even San Jose Sharks winger Evander Kane chimed in:

The most bias homer and classless annocouncer in sports. Thanks for the reminder @RealJackEdwards https://t.co/nF75fTXfe9

— Evander Kane (@evanderkane_9) August 16, 2020

Reminder that Edwards took a shot at Kane last February, insulting the winger’s intelligence along the way:

Yeah, “takes a lot of courage” to jump Chara from behind. Either that or Kane was wearing his IQ on his sweater (9). For those who have not been paying attention:
DON’T POKE THE BEAR.
