Evander Kane bashes Jets, felt unappreciated
Evander Kane isn’t scheduled to visit Winnipeg until January, but he’s already provided some added pop to his first potential game here as a member of the Buffalo Sabres.
In an interview with The Hockey News, which went public Monday, Kane says he didn’t get the support he should have from the Jets while playing through injuries last season.
“I’m sacrificing my body playing through pain, doing everything I can to help that team win… knowing guys don’t have my back,” Kane told THN. “I feel the organization doesn’t have my back, and you feel unappreciated.”
Kane played with an injured shoulder and with broken bones in his foot and hand last season.
“He played through an awful lot of pain,” Jets coach Paul Maurice said in response. “We really appreciated it. I’m sorry he felt that way. I certainly appreciated him playing through those injuries.”
