It was quite a game for Evander Kane who played hard and well all night. He squashed Crosby up against the glass early on (not all that hard, I might note) and Crosby took exception and slashed him back. From then on the Penguins were trying to get at Kane. Matt Cooke bumped him and then put his stick around Kane's neck area. Cooke appears to be calling for a fight. Kane drops his gloves and lands a perfect right that knocks Cooke out.
Kane should have had a goal later on as his misses the mostly empty net by lofting it too high.
Kane provide that he could play hard and physical despite being just 18. He still needs to fill out more. Hopefully next season we'll get to see what he can do with some power play ice time.
