Patrick Kane has been dealing with a nagging injury
First Toews, now Kane. The Blackhawks cannot catch a break!
Here's what he had to say:
"It's something that I worked on all summer, so it's been, I don't want to say frustrating, but it's been like nagging me a little bit," Kane said at the NHL Player Media Tour on Thursday. "We're at the point now where I think it's finally starting to turn the corner and seeing some progress."
"To be honest with you, I'm excited with where I'm at. Hopefully I'm feeling good to start the season," Kane said. "Obviously, I have different conversations with doctors and the training staff, so I'm sure we'll kind of readjust it. But to me, there's no worries going into camp."
As for Toews:
"It'll be nice to get him back in the lineup and have like that 1-2 punch that we always had when we were on different lines," Kane said. "It makes it a little bit more of a tougher matchup for other teams, so that'll be nice to have him back. He's working hard. You can tell he's really focused on getting his body and his mind in the right place to be able to play and be successful. Other than that, I mean, just happy to have him back and such a big part of our team, you know? Whether it's on the ice or off the ice, [he] just brings that presence."
