Blackhawk star winger Patrick Kane got himself in trouble over the weekend at home in Buffalo when he and his cousin took a cab ride and took issue when the cabbie did not have $0.20 in change. That's twenty cents, not twenty dollars. The cousins hailed a cab at about 4 am Sunday morning when they were leaving a nightlife area of Kane's native Buffalo. The fare came to $13.80 and the cousins handed over $15.00. When the cabbie could only produce $1.00 for change that's when it's alleged the cousins decided to administer Wild West justice and pummelled the cabbie for the two dimes. The cabbie ended up with cuts and bruises and broken glasses. Patrick Kane earns $875,000 per year as a Blackhawk and shouldn't have expected change at all. I make nowhere near that much scratch and I know you're supposed to tip a cabbie.
The Blackhawks organization said they stand by their star player but I hope privately someone gives him a real earful for being a butthead.

I hope to God someone whoops the shit out of this little punk. Hockey's a blue collar sport, and there's no way there aren't more than a few bruisers with cabbie family waiting to pay him back.

Hey, thanks for the post, Jerry, and thanks for the link to Patty's side of the story. The part about getting to kiss a girl on the mouth was my favorite...
ReplyDeleteYou know, there are a shitload of cabbies here in Chi-town. Patty might do well to get a Vespa...
