wivb.comI love how much Kane has been doing for he community since coming here. I think he is trying to wash his hands of Winnipeg. I like his hard work in ice and his generosity off it.

Kane is relatively young, with the ability to change quickly and dramatically. That may be the reason behind the dichotomy between the "stories" we heard out of Winnipeg and what we actually see from Kane both on and off the ice in Buffalo.
But...but...maybe the "problem" was actually Winnipeg itself; certain Jets players and coaches, and a select group of a-hole sportswriters? I don't know. I'm just asking questions.

I didn't read too much into the stories, but weren't they along the lines of like, hes posting pictures of him online when he goes out or something?
Its like sports players arent allowed to have a life

That is a great thing for him or any athlete to do. Very awesome!
Only thing that bugs me about stories like this; why publicize it? I know, I know, queue the downvotes.
There is always the thought in the back of my mind that these athletes are just doing it as 'part of their jobs' and managing their 'brand image' as opposed to out of the kindness of their own hearts.
Maybe Kane and his crew didn't publicize it themselves, and it was the Boys and Girls club who made it public, who knows.
Again, kudos to Mr. Kane!

Most of the time, it's the organizations that help coordinate this that publicize (in this case Boys & Girls Club of Buffalo and United Way of Buffalo & Erie County) as it does show the need in the community. Most of us couldn't help 50 kids like this, but maybe we could help one.
Any of the stuff that Evander has done has seemed to quietly been previewed and then the team, organizations he has worked with, and media have picked up on it. He has seemed nothing but humble and kind.
The story of him earlier this week sending large care package to girl facing major cancer surgery after this girls friend just took a shot at messaging him in Instagram is a other example.

I still don't get why people were so upset over him holding a stack of money next to his ear in Vegas. Glad to have him on the Sabres.

I don't care how many times this joke is done - "What a locker room cancer, right? He's such a jerk! Classless."
Seriously though, I am proud to have him on the team.
