What does it take to become a legend in the high-stakes world of the NHL? Is it the sheer number of goals, the dazzle of on-ice skills, or the ability to turn the tide of a game? For Patrick Kane, it was all this and more. A three-time Stanley Cup champion, a Conn Smythe Trophy winner, an Olympic medalist, and one of the best puck handlers the game has ever seen. So, how good was Prime Patrick Kane, actually?
The origin of an NHL star often tells us more about their journey than any highlight reel can. For Patrick Kane, it began in the modest neighborhoods of Buffalo, New York. Born into a family where hockey was more than just a game, Kane's childhood revolved around rinks and pucks. By the age of seven, he was already on the ice, his destiny with the puck seemingly preordained. His father, recognizing a special talent, transformed their home's basement into a miniature rink, complete with nets and boards. Here, young Kane spent countless hours, not just practicing but living the game.

Chicago will always cherish our second son, Patrick Kane.
Who the first Jordan?
@@Geo272 either MJ, or Walter Peyton
@@Coryconqueso59 oh yeah Walter Payton that is who I would pick just because he played first
@@Geo272 Nah, Kaner is the 2nd greatest pro athlete in Chicago history, I'd definitely take him over Payton.
@@kja6336 why because Walter no longer the goat thanks to BARRY
he was so underrated his whole career. he never got credit for how unbelievably clutch he was in big moments.
He wasn't necessarily underrated just overshadowed by Sid and Ovi early in his career then later on by McDavid.
Insanely clutch
The guy won every award you can win, 3 cups, a silver medal, was the #1 overall pick, a top paid player, and everyone who followed hockey knew his name.
He was not underrated. He was great and got the accolades he deserved. I couldn’t imagine spinning it any other way…
@@bubbakatz1731 i think hes one of the greatest players ever but i dont think he was ever given the credit he deserved. he was always put in toews shadow even though he was a much better player. i also remember tsn doing a top 100 players list a while back and kane wasnt even on it. hes never talked about in the same light as the greats even though he has the accolades that you mention and is easily one of the most talented players to ever play.
Underrated? We’re you living under a rock? He was amoung the best with Sid, ovi and toews..
Other than just being a skillful player, what Patrick Kane has done for the sport of hockey is incredible. There are other hockey greats in terms of points and accolades who haven’t done what he’s done for hockey. In those years that he and Toews resurrected hockey culture in Chicago, they also put the sport on the map for others like myself who wouldn’t have cared otherwise. He truly understands the entertainment factor of the sport as well and you can see it in his showmanship (absolutely legendary cellies). He’s also in many ways paved the way for smaller offensive players by changing how they are perceived and valued. Tbh sometimes I think I’m only still watching hockey today because Kane is still playing today. Showtime, indeed.
Very well stated...and completely accurate.
The woman who claimed he assaulted her was found to have the “fluids” of 3+ men on her. None of which belonged to Kane. He passed up on the opportunity to settle out of court because he knew he was innocent and wanted to prove it so he wasn’t just gonna pay to make her go away. The woman and her mother were caught tampering with evidence and her own friends and family admitted she lied. People need to apologize to Kane. He beat up a cab driver when he was a teenager. He apologized and became a better human being and now has a family. Didn’t stop EA from taking him off the cover of NHL 16.. it was him and Toews on home ice holding the cup together. An amazing picture that was scrapped for one just of Toews alone all because that woman wanted money so she created an awful story. Kane is a legend and I’m proud to call him my favorite player.
As a devastated MN Wild fan over the years, I can still feel the wounds of his clutch scoring. The Hawks completely dominated the league during his prime largely due to his clutch goals. Hated him but respected the talent
Best American born hockey player ever.
Exactly.
What percentage would you say are not born in US?
@@abefroman8821about 90% of players are Canadian
@@Stranger_In_The_Alps sick. I’m a Blackhawks fan but I don’t follow hockey as much as the other sports. Thanks for the info
@@Stranger_In_The_Alpsnot anymore. There are tons of Europeans and Americans now.
Let’s not forget his Hart and Art Ross trophies for the 15/16 season.
What an honor and privilege it was getting to experience my hometown team’s dynasty from my early teens to late 20s. He was unbelievable to watch all those years. Us Chicago fans were truly spoiled
As a wings fan as much as I disliked the hawks Kane was always one of my favorite players growing up! Him and Datsyuk had the some of the filthiest hands ever! Best American born player to lace em up!
patty kane will always and forever be one of my favorite NHL players i could sit and watch his highlights for days and based how i played after him he is an idol to so many kids its not even a joke
That basement rink is freaking gigantic
‘Miniature’
hes still making highlights on the wings
I’m 21 years old and I’m just now getting into hockey what have I missed 🤦🏻♂️
The hawks were basically the bulls of hockey
haha pain in his eyes in that photo with Toews, Keith, and Seabrook.
I forgot that picture existed 😂😂😂
He was Barry Sanders on skates. No one else like him.
Oh buddy.. he was larger than life for Chicago for many years. Big reason for the cups in Chicago!
Only reason for first due to OT
God the title of this video makes me feel old. I vividly remember discussing this draft on the official blackhawks forums.
The kid had one of the best backhanders all time! Got to see some of the best at the old barn. Kaner was one of the greatest Hawks to ever don the jersey!
Ive known him since he was a. 8 year old squirt playing hickey at Caz. It was always, wait until they can check, wait until they get bigger...wrong, I saw it when he was a kid, hes got IT and is something special. He always never forgot where he came from.
The people that talk about Kane like he was just another good player are so disrespectful.
Showtime will always be my favorite player. Even watch the wings just to still see him on the ice doing what he does best. One day, when he retires, will be a sad one for all of Kaner fans
As a Blues fan, he was extremely good one of the best
He was the best puck handler I’ve ever seen in my life.
u did a good job on research for this video bro respect!
I saw Kaner play for years on NHL Center Ice as a dedicated Chicago Blackhawks fan. I also saw Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull play often in person at the old Chicago Stadium as a boy. Patrick Kane never had Hull’s bull-in-a-china-shop level of natural strength; but nobody else did either!
Instead, Patrick Kane possesses speed and an absurd degree of elusiveness, much like Stan Mikita, but honestly, even better than that. Kaner’s hands and feet can change speed and direction so quickly as to make an opponent look absolutely foolish! Even Stan wasn’t quite as quick in those areas as Kaner!
WHY Patrick hasn’t received the credit he deserves is beyond me. Maybe now that he’s gone to Detroit and already shown some of his “Showtime” skills in an entirely different section of the country, in a different Division of the NHL altogether, that will help more people appreciate Patrick Kane’s wonderful talents!
Kane was awesome in his prime his vision and handling was unbelievable he's the American goat
Sharp, Ladd, Bickel, Tuevo, Panarin, Toews, DeBrincat, and for a half season Max Domi. Kane makes his teammates stars with those passes and hands. Had a chance to beat Mikitas’s records if he stayed a hawk and they were not bottom feeders.
He was a nightmare against my team Boston in the finals
He's cold as fuck. I love watching his penalty shots, the way he psyche's goalies out when he's one on one with them is fucking nasty. I've twice seen him bend goalies into pretzels this season without going anywhere near them. Worst thing you can do as a goalie with this guy is buy into his body movement, or stare at the puck because he'll hypnotize you either way and then you're done.
Best American player: Patty Kane
Best American goalie: Johnny Quick
Both played in the same era and were bitter rivals
Pfffft, Mike Modano takes best U.S.A born players hands down.
Not a Leafs fan but this conversation is pointless because Matthews is going to surpass Kane by a mile when it's all said and done, and Hellebuyck is already better than Quick ever was.
@@llamapenNHL Matthew’s needs to win a cup before he’s in the same convo a Patty K unfortunately
Teams win cups. Pat Maroon isn't better than Auston Matthews.@@doubllechief6926
@@randydube1423no
If you want to see prime Kane just come watch the Red Wings 😀
If Kane was born 5 miles west of where he was actually born, and went on to have his same career, he would be considered a generational player.
Apparently you haven't been watching. He's as dominant in Detroit now as he's ever been. Incredible player! Was in Chicago for all three Cups.
Just in time for my Taco Bell
Dana whites a woman
Real
I'm on the toilet rn
Goyslop for the peasants lol
Underrated comment
At 59yoa, I've seen the Blackhawks do it all...up and down.
From garbage teams, to the BELFOUR, LARMER, and ROENICK years (could'a been a dynasty except for "Dollar Bill" Wirtz...to seeing the Dynasty of the KANE/TOEWS years, the 2010-2015 Blackhawks rank among the Greatest NHL teams ever.
They had it all; Powerhouse Offense, Defensive skill, Goaltending (Crawford was a legit Superstar), Penalty Killing excellence...they had it all.
Having been an Elite-Level player personally, and having seen, and played with and against some of the Greats...i will *miss* these Blackhawks all.
They were and still are some of the best athletes ever
Kaner! Arguably the most talented American hockey player of all time and buffalo's son
I have no idea why this man wouldn't play with Bedaed. The passing ability alone would be deadly.
Patrick Kane in my opinion is best American born player. His skill level, skating ability, hockey sense and three Stanley Cups he has contributed to the Blackhawks organization immensely. Regarding his present team the Detroit Red Wings. His hip resurfacing surgery may slow him down a bit but his skill level and skating ability will compensate for his surgery.
Chicago knows. Guy was legendary
The Great one, Lemieux, Bure, Selänne, Jagr, and Kane are my favourite players ever! Hasek was my goalie as well as Belfour, Roy and Brodeur too. Hasek was too good, and Peter Forsberg as a scorer. Bure, Selänne and Kane have the coolest goals!
Second City’s Second Son
I miss Kane grew up on him
Chicago Will Always Be Home 🏠 For Patrick Kane
Kaner is always a Hero in Chicago...even in a Redwings sweater.
Prime kane = best passer,best handles,best all around vision,easy top 2 back hand shot,1# us born player
True story I named my son after Patrick kane.
Legend, and he’s still at it with the Red Wings!
Well, we’ll keep him in Detroit. Point per game… yah, this dude has Chelios vibes of contributing for a long time
Agreed Indeed!
Agreed Indeed!
He broke HOF records. Thats how good he was!
If there were a redraft of all the greats, I can't imagine Kane being lower than 3 on any teams draft board.
Have you done Gretzky and lemiuex or any other legends yet ?
I have done Gretzky! Lemiuex in the near future.
An assassin in the clutch
He's the greatest American born player the game has ever seen. Mike Modano and Chris Chelios come close, but they're not Showtime. They don't have his hands. Chelios didn't put the team on his back to win his 3 titles. Brian Leetch? Close, but no cigar outside of 1994.
Why did you have random Max Domi and John Tavares London Knights highlights at the beginning?
1 option that is still realistic to me, is Damian could cash in take the title from Seth and then drop it in the Elimination Chamber or something to Punk or a returning Rollins, could have Finn and the rest of The Judgement day turn in him in the match. I do like the idea of the Rumble being for the title aswell
Yea imagine growing up playing against Kane. Kane Doyle jeep baby
As a Flyers fan…he was uhhh
I know a former Knight.... he says he was one of the best the organization had., ever.
please make a video like this on datsyuk
Very good indeed.
Showtime!!
Good enough that not prime Patrick Kane is STILL tearing it up pretty good.
He should ask u on a date after this
The best
Ladies and gentleman i give to you- buzzword: the movie
Love Kaner but this video script is basically ChatGPT:
on, and on, and on.. It's like 16 minutes of the same explanation over and over again..
It really is. Repetitive lines and even the clips.
This guys my second cousin
mvp calder conne smythe cups good.
And a grape case......
Right!!!! Why isnt he in jail? The guys a monster @rduke325
@@danialholland784 prob because the girls mother tampered with the rape kit by dropping it in kanes mail. like mother like daughter. crazy. and because she fucked the whole residence aside from kane. make more stupid comments.
@@rduke325 your fav teams goalies have filed after being raped for years lol
@@danialholland784 oh the case that was dropped because there was nothing to begin with?
Anyone who says Kane was underrated probably didn’t grow up in Chicago lolol.
Wait he's not in his prime anymore?
Kane was a better goal scorer than Toews but Toews was a better all-around player. As a Hawk fan, really never gave a damn what Canadians think. In fact, I enjoy riduculing the Leafs and their obnoxious fans.
ask loungo.
Isn’t it a shame that this guy never got to wear a captain’s C?
I have his rookie card.. lol
The man is still in his prime he hasn't declined in any aspect of his game like only because he got injured and he's recovering doesn't mean he is in his prime anymore in my opinion if you're still playing like you were when you're 25 you're still in your Prime another why is Joe sakic wouldn't have been such a natural and he retired because of a freak accident in his kitchen it wasn't even hockey related
He is most definatly not in his prime anymore his play has regressed the past few years which is fine he’s getting old and the league is only getting better and more competitive but to say he’s still in his prime is just wrong but he is still a great player and no doubt hall of famer
I don’t think you understand what being in your prime is. His best years are behind him, but he is still pretty good player rn
Kane is playing great for his age, but his prime is long behind him, lol.
lol bro he is not in his prime . Hes still a great player but absolutely not in his prime
@@tylerhellerstedt5518Yeah, I agree. It’s a nice sentiment and all to say he’s still in his prime but it undercuts just how good of a player Kane actually was in his prime. This kid had some of the nastiest mitts I’ve ever seen on a player, and the guy would bust his ass for every point he got. Absolute legend, and still a competitive threat in the league today. Nothing but respect for 88.
showtime, the grossest mits in the league
100% a hall of famer🫡
Good enough to win 3 rings
Why does the video's script sound like chat gpt wrote it
compared to the likes of Madonna ???? think you meant Maradona hahaha
Kaner was the best forward in the league not named Sid, Ovi or Geno
People who play for honeybaked 👇
Was? Still is, bud.
Wait til they find out he’s still in his prime and just has been on a dogshit team for yeara
Hes definitely playing like he is right now
Meh....his handling needs some work
Like you can do it
As a Hawks fan Kane has always been a one dimensional player, a true liability on defense and never played on the PK (career short handed goals zero) for some reason. He probably pissed away 20-25 career goal by not getting PK time (Gretzky 70+ short handed goals). Great offense player, not much else
Apparently you haven't watched him with the Red Wings...not sure about the old days but he is definitely not a defensive liability these days
He was OK.
Nah “OK” is crazy 💀
He was pretty good. Not elite, but an effective points producer.
This is a bad take
you canadian?
He was elite you dope
literally one of the most clutch players of this generation
first ballot hall of famer
You forgot to mention how he learned to rob taxi drivers.
And grape young women
He did mention it
what does that have to do with his play on the ice?
@@rduke325 He wasn't convicted on sexual assault. The woman used a kit and there was no DNA found. Police investiogation did not have sufficent evidence to convict him. So your claim is false dude. Stop spreading false information.
@rduke325 you're an idiot...might wanna do some research on that one lmao
My kid (in the future): “Mommy. Who is Patrick Kane?”
Me: *smiles* “Come here. I wanna tell you.” 🥲
He was magnificent
Please make Mario Lemieux but à real dedicated one as good as this 🥹🥹🥹🙏🏻
Is he not the most underrated player? Dude has actual ice in his veins because there has definitely not been a play as clutch as he was during their dynasty run! That is what happens when you give a kid who has been practicing his handling skills in a small basement where he also had to learn how to be extremely agile, give that kid a full ice rink either all that space he will succeed and he did. You don’t get to factor in his personal life have anything to do with his print on Hockey and what kind of player he is because you judge a player on how he plays that is his profession. Not his personal struggles
Matthews better
No not even close. Kane produced in the playoffs. Matthews has a lot to prove yet. Spoken like a young Leafs fans that doesn’t know shit about fuck.
That’s big cap 💀
This shouldn't even be controversial to say. Dude has a real chance at 80 goals this year, the all-time career goal record, plays high quality defense, is going to pass Kane in career goals in like a year and a half and people are still going to say "Durrr Cups!" because they can't grasp that a better player could play on a worse team.
Guy can’t win a round with the highest paid core of all time, not a clutch bone in his body. Kane put these points up in a much more physical and low scoring era, not to mention he probably had the greatest clutch performances in playoff history. Matthews a much better scorer, but give the puck to 88 in crunch time
@@AlexJones-vy1ri Who cares what they’re paid? Those Hawks teams were deeper and better. If Matthews and Kane switch places those Hawks teams probably still win some cups. I can’t say the same if you put prime Kane on the Leafs. They don’t have the defense or goalie.
