He’s not even using it anymore, is he? And when he was using it, he was mostly just chewing on it. That being said, the Kaner Shuffle was a delight. He is a delight, and yes, it makes me incredibly happy to see him (and hockey!) getting more national attention.

And honestly, Pants, between the Halloween pictures and the Strombo interviews, it feels like every day is Foxy Friday.

As probably one of only 3 people who like the NHL AND the NBA, I was pretty thrilled to see Kaner in something this high profile and with LeBron. Pretty great for hockey.

He wears number 99 in honor of his love for hockey and Gretzky. Here is a video of him on the ice http://youtu.be/dPdeb0SgIw8

I believe he has the soul of a hockey player in a football player’s body. Like Tracy said, hard-working and humble. He also chirped Ray Rice beautifully a few years ago: http://youtu.be/CsVBlwMQc-c

He is a defensive end for the Houston Texans. He’s a beast, probably the best defensive player in the NFL. He’s known for being boring like literally having no social life and constantly working out. “I can have a social life when I retire.”

Related, and unfair, I don’t think you can win hockey ANYTHING in Canadian McDonalds Monopoly. But for $2 you can win Taylor Hall: https://www.netraffle.org/raffle/index.php?rid=718

Signs I’m a grown up – I’m not entering because there’s no way I can get half of Friday off on short notice. The real kicker is that I was just IN Edmonton AT THAT EXACT RESTAURANT. I had asked my cousin that we go out somewhere I might see Oilers…

McMurray, the NASCAR driver, has said in the past that he tries to eat clean. He’s declined to mention that kind of thing since he got the McDonald’s sponsorship.

That said, it’s wonderful that Kane, and American hockey in general, is getting that kind of exposure. The more hockey players in commercials, the more better! Kane has a star quality about him.
