Who knows what Patrick Kane was paid to appear on the NHL 10 cover, but it was probably more than 20 cents. So itās hard to fathom why a 20-year-old zillionaire athlete would deck a cabbie over two dimes.
But thatās what Buffalo cops say Kane did when he caught a $13.80 cab ride last night and paid for it with a 10 and a 5. When the driver said he didnāt have 20 cents to go with the buck in change, a hockey game broke out. The cops said Kane and his bro grabbed the money back and beat the crap out of the guy.
So, a day that began with Kane announcing with Buffaloās mayor the funding of a local rink ends with the golden boy in the slammer on charges of robbery, criminal mischief, theft of services, yada yada.
Itās probably not enough to ding Kaneās appearance on the NHL 10 box, but damn. Cabbies play games too, you know.
