"The Sharks have been in contact today with the (NHL) about the serious allegations made against Evander Kane. We support a full and transparent investigation into the situation to maintain the integrity of the game and consistency with our team values."

If Evander Kane really scored over a 70 point pace while throwing his own games then we need to take the Hart away from McDavid and give it to him lmao https://t.co/WLFkxveTID
