Social Media In Uproar After Evander Kane Cross-Check To Nazem Kadri In Game 3

Edmonton Oilers’ forward Evander Kane is back trending this weekend after his vicious cross-check to Colorado Avalanche’s forward Nazem Kadri in Game 3 of the Western Conference Final.

Kane was given a 5-minute penalty for the hit but many are hoping he will be suspended because of his run of dirty plays.

People were not happy and had plenty to say online about it.

Feel like a broken record here, but Evander Kane is a massive piece of shit

I’m a huge fan of Gretzky’s but when he just said that Kane had no intent to injure Kadri is utter horseshit!! Kane has been running around all series with the intent and attempts to injure our players. He doesn’t ride a fine line, he’s cheap and dangerous! He’s so Oilers biased!

I will not even entertain any comparisons of Kadri’s accidental injury to Binnington to Evander Kane’s purposeful injury to Kadri.

Please kindly leave my mentions.

Evander Kane were actively trying to hurt someone at the end of game 2 when the game was lost. Then he takes out Kadri for the series ONE MINUTE into game 3 with a predatory play. These are the type of hockey players the game needs to get rid off.

Evander Kane’s ex-wife, Anna Kane, even posted how she was feeling after the Avalnche victory over Kane’s Oilers.

Nazem Kadri was injured on the play and has already been ruled out for the rest of the series. The Avalanche are hoping that they will only need one more game to finish off the Oilers and then might get some time off before the Stanley Cup Finals.

While Avalanche fans were happy to take a 3-0 lead in the series, many are still looking for some action to come against Kane so he doesn’t just go out looking to injure people in the next game.

Game 4 takes place on Monday, June 6th, at 8 p.m. EST.
