Yesterday, Chicago Blackhawks star, Patrick Kane, issued a public apology for allegedly assaulting a cab driver while visiting his hometown of Buffalo, New York earlier this month.  I was really shocked by the incident in which Kane and his cousin supposedly attacked a cab driver after the man said he didn’t have the 20 cents change when he was given $15 for a $13.80 fare (he had a dollar but not the other 20 cents).  Since when do we not tip taxi drivers???

I seriously can’t believe this but Patrick Kane has been arrested for robbing and assaulting a Buffalo-area taxi driver.  The Chicago Blackhawks forward was in Upstate New York visiting family when he and his cousin were arrested this morning.

There is no image to put up yet but Chicago Blackhawks winger, Patrick Kane, will appear on the cover of EA Sports’ NHL 2010 although top draft prospect, John Tavares, has signed on to help promote the game which is expected to hit shelves this September.

I had seen the Jonathan Toews/Patrick Kane commercials in passing the other day but I decided to dig them up on YouTube this morning so that I could see the whole thing.  I was almost crying I was laughing so hard.  The commercials spoof those U.S. election campaign ads in an effort to increase their votes to get on the 2009 NHL All Star roster. 
Just when I had recovered, I discovered Brian Campbell’s ad campaign.  I was doubled over laughing again.  Too funny!
