The Patrick Kane ‘Experiment’ Is Working.

#nhl #hockey #detroitredwings
Patrick Kane has been lighting up the NHL & the Detroit Red Wings have been reaping the benefits. After going through a serious hip surgery over the summer, many rightfully doubted whether or not Kane could return to form. We break it down in this video.

While nowhere near the same players, I feel like Kane gives the Wings a big part of what they lost when Datsyuk left. Especially with zone entries and on the power play.

[@thewizardofoz511]

EXACTLY!🤙

[@grayhudson1095]

i hope by that you just meant they are very different players, and weren't suggesting Kane is not in Datsyuk's class of player.

[@ResonantFreak1]

Wasn't implying anything about class of player, just differences in playing style and skill sets. This video just made me realize those areas where they have similar impacts are areas where the Wings have really needed some help for a while.

[@grayhudson1095]

@@ResonantFreak1 agree w you there. usually when people use 'nowhere near the same' type language it refers to quality not just style. Kane and Datsyuk do have some similarities in seeing the game and puck handling. Jagr around 10 years ago named the two of them as the only modern players he liked or would watch.

[@danglesnipecelly13]

As a wings fan if you told me like 10 years ago he’d be tearing it up at 35 years old in a red wings jersey I simply would have just chuckled. He’s a legend! One of my favorite players ever from one of my least favorite teams lol he’s always looked great in those hawks jerseys but seeing him in the winged wheel gives me chills. It doesn’t feel right but at the same time it’s so right 😂 Dastyuk and him were my favorite players growing up.

[@annakivaderova1452]

I have goosbumps everytime I even hear his name. He’s hockey legend. Him, Toews and Hossa were the actual reason I started watching hockey. Gosh, So many memories. #88 #81 #19

[@ajbolt7]

As a ranger fan I was bummed we didn’t resign Kane. I knew he was going to bounce back from his surgery I just knew it. We I’m glad Detroit got him. The level of fun having him there is worth the loss for my rangers

[@CunuckHockey]

I was definitely one who was doubtful of Kane's return (I made a whole video about it lmao). But I'm glad I've been proven wrong - he's been amazing to watch and I hope he's able to continue producing like he is. Great video as always!

[@RRaquello]

I never understood the arguments against signing Kane. There was nothing to lose. If it didn't work out, you lose nothing, but if it does you add a lot to your team.

[@chadlevitan7886]

I had the benefit of having had a hip resurfacing surgery as a hockey player. It's a weird type of injury that leads to it - it doesn't happen all at once like a blown knee or shoulder or whatever, its a slow decline into increasing pain that interrupts your skating, which explains his numbers dropping over the past couple of years. And then when you do get the surgery it's an incredible relief provided it goes well. It was also a much, much easier recovery and rehab than my ACL surgery. Makes perfect sense to me that he's doing as well as he is.

[@mattcraig163]

[@brettrossi034]

Knowing how bad his hip was? Yeah, I can see why he just didn't even look the same in his face, let alone his play with the Rangers. He looked good, but not like Patrick Kane good. His face looked defeated. He looks revived out there in Detroit. You love to see it. Not a red wings fan, but I'm a hockey fan. Kudos to Patty

[@Edmonton-oilers_]

I love being addicted to this channel

[@RRaquello]

An underrated part of Kane's game, as a smaller player, has been his ability to avoid getting beaten up physically over the years. The hip thing was a result of years of wear and tear, but through most of his career he avoided big injuries that resulted in many games missed. You can appreciate this more as you see the repeated injuries to a player like Jack Hughes, who is as close to vintage Kane as any player in the league, both in style of play and physical appearance. Unless Hughes manages to find the magic formula for avoiding the big hits the way Kane did he's going to have a short and ultimately disappointing career.

[@crimiusXIII]

After getting Debrincat, I saw a lot of wings fans pretty happy with our offense. We were running hot, for sure, but I thought our game plan was pretty clear and sure enough, teams adjusted in the subsequent showings. Getting Kane, even if he wasn't going to be as good as he's been, was something I thought would be a perfect fit and a great feather in our top 6 with his passing and IQ alone. No offense to Raymond or the other forwards, but Larkin and Debrincat would regularly be hung out to dry in the O zone, and needed someone who could give them more options. We had decent depth before, but we have a SOLID Offensive squad from front to back now. With the goaltending shoring up, our defensive play had been our last soft spot (I would argue against calling it weak, just a little soft) and we've done a good job adjusting in the last few games. I'd still like to swing for one more step or half step up there to make me feel good about the team from front to back, but I have a hard time picking who I'd send away or down.

[@captbloodbeard]

Allowing Razor to work on that second line has been great too, since his competition isn't so difficult there, he's been able to dominate where as when he was on the top line he looked out of place at times.

[@AdamJayTechnoElectro]

Debrincat + Larkin helps. Love this line.

[@Torgo1969]

I chose to be optimistic about Big Daddy Kane coming here to Michigan and vindication is sweet. I reasoned that his assets were his hands and his brain.

[@thefamilymans2545]

I havent gotten past the 1 min mark, and i want to say thank you. As a life long wings fan, i was hoping for the signing as soon as we got debrincat. I wasnt sure kane would be on our team till next yr, but im glad someone besides me can see the benefit of him on the wings......now for the rest of the vid

[@juhuu13579]

It’s tough to say as a Wings fan but I’ve never not loved Kane. Even back when Detroit was in the west and getting whooped by the Hawks, he’s just a joy to watch. I’m happy to see him as a Red Wing, because he reminds me so much of Datsyuk. God I miss him

[@captbloodbeard]

Kane's not been as bad defensively as I thought he would have been, he still has such excellent stick work, but man that's an area of Datsyuk's game that the Wings still haven't been able to replace.

[@RedWing88]

@@captbloodbeardtotally agree. Datsyuk and Lidstrom, two players that can’t be replaced.

[@VarjoPira]

Patrick Kane's like a barebones T-800. Legs barely move, but hands shoot out pure lead.

[@captbloodbeard]

His skating has gotten so much better since last year. Hell, it seems like every game his skating improves. It was rough his first few weeks back from surgery. But he's doing crossovers and bursts just fine now. The thing with Kane is that he is very deliberate about his speed, choosing his pace. He doesn't have Larkin or McDavid speed, but he never did. There have definitely been moments since the All-Star Break where I've been floored that Kaners can still get up to speed that quickly.

[@VarjoPira]

True, I've taken notice, too. He's clearly been adjusting to try and extend his career as much as possible. Work smart, not hard. @oodbeard

[@tylerhellerstedt5518]

[@Mabus_Incarnate]

I've been a Wings fan since 1988, I was a Kane hater until the day he signed with Detroit. He's exceeding expectations, people keep saying "Detroit needs an star player to do anything" well we got one. Raymond may develop into something special, Kane has been unbelievable since coming to Detroit. I've loved watching him play and the team winning again this season.

[@TakenTwinz]

Love the videos as always, was hoping to see a little more team element here though. The wings after all do have the most players with 10+ goals in the league right now with 12! Definitely cool to hear Kane talk about how he believes the wings could be a strong 7 game series team regardless of opponent

As a huge Datsyuk fan I get another chance to see an amazing creative HOF,what i missed since 2016. Kanes Jersey change to Red Wings helps also!

[@HaulAzzForever]

The old man version of Kane is very efficient with his energy, which makes him look lazy. But he's not young anymore... he NEEDS to use his IQ to create advantages. Whereas the younger McDeuce and MacKinnon use their acceleration to create gaps, Kane "cheats" aka predicts possession changes. Great vid.

[@TamikaStrader-sl7je]

To be a good hockey club you gotta get lucky, and to be lucky you got to be a good hockey club. Special teams win championships. Their comebacks in the third show a grit and determination you can’t teach. That’s a club that’s love eachother

[@destiny-theseries]

I hope Detroit signs him until he retires, but I fear he's going to re-sign with the Blackhawks. Kane has always reminded me of Pavel Datsyuk. They both skate the same way and no one matches their soft hands.

[@casewojo6186]

Kane has brought the sauce back to Detroit. I never thought I would be a huge Kaner fan as a lifelong wing fan. His patience and hockey iq is incredible. Love this team rn.

[@ryan3030]

Kane's entire career has been built around hockey IQ, hands, and the ability to be effective without putting himself in risky situations. He hasnt raced for the puck or engaged physically since he was young. He has always avoided risky situations as best as possible... as a Hawks fan i remember frequently being disappointed in him shying away from puck races or avoiding the puck if he sees he might get hit. But eventually i realized this is part of what makes him such a good player. The way he plays the game makes him someone who will be a superstar until he retires. With his hip injury i never doubted how good hell be when he is healed, the only thing i would doubt is whether or not he can get through it

[@andthe4010]

Today is Feb 27 2024. If you would have told me one year ago that Chicago was gonna let Kane go, and end up at Detroit in the next year I would have never believed that. So glad it happened. I thought the Rangers had him locked down, so when I first saw Detroit pick him up I was like "no way, gtfo". Grateful for it for sure.

I had no doubts about adding him to roster - always considered him as still-PRO player with solid offensive impact. But, on the other hand - not sure how long can he stay healthy - we´re lucky if he can. And on the third hand - I don´t really think he´s gonna be the missing piece of making Wings to be real contender - like to remind Coffey in 90´s. But he´s going to make impact on other players and kick on winning culture in this team, while this is something the team was missing for a long time. Considering that, he´s 12/10 move Steve did. I can see bright future, long time no see. lgrw!

[@darkstark1949]

Everyone who has watched more than a handful of Hawks games of the last 2-3 years knew that the hip was really bothering Kane and slowing him down. When he announced he was finally going to have surgery many of us knew he was going to bounce back strong. If teams can hide his defense with some strong linemates he's going to have a very long career.
