Patrick Kane said it took about two to two-and-a-half years after his hip resurfacing surgery to feel like his own hip again and be fully comfortable.
The 2013 lockout-shortened Blackhawks went 21-0-3 to open the season, meaning they went unbeaten for half of the 48-game schedule.
The 2013 Blackhawks came back from a 3-1 series deficit against Detroit before winning the Stanley Cup that year.
Patrick Kane, age 37 turning 38, signed a two-year contract with the Blackhawks — his first multi-year deal in three years, as prior contracts were all one-year deals.
Patrick Kane described his 2010 Stanley Cup-winning goal — he was the only player who knew the puck was in the net, as it lodged in the back of the goalie's pad.
Patrick Kane's father drove 8 hours round-trip from Buffalo to attend all 41 Blackhawks home games in a single season, staying in Kane's Chicago apartment.
LeBron James chose the Philadelphia 76ers on the veteran minimum, and the entire show agrees: it's championship or bust. The Sixers starting five on paper is stacked — but there's only one ball and several alpha scorers who all want it.
Max, a lifelong 76ers die-hard, refuses to say he'll boo LeBron James if he underperforms — because he's on the veteran minimum. The crew mercilessly points out that LeBron has completely neutered Philly's most vocal fan before a single game is played.
LeBron debuted when Big Cat and PFT were freshmen in college. Now there are 140 active NBA players born after his debut, he's played against 37% of all players in NBA history, and he's older than 6 active head coaches. The numbers are genuinely staggering.
Hank finds a way to spin LeBron joining the Sixers as an opportunity. Rather than being crushed, he sees a chance for the Celtics to be the team that retires LeBron James — and he wants to be the one to do it personally.
Tony Romo was arrested for an OWI in Milwaukee while competing in the Wisconsin Amateur golf tournament, where he shot 35-over. PFT brilliantly notes Wisconsin's first OWI is only a civil fine — making it 'Fisher-Price, My First DUI.'
The NFL is officially back. PFT declares this the last Monday show without on-field football until after the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes's rehabbing left knee looks noticeably smaller than his right, and Brandon Aiyuk bought a $10M house in Northern Virginia for no apparent reason.
Patrick Kane sat down in studio just hours after his press conference announcing his return to the Chicago Blackhawks. He described the emotional call from owner Danny Wirtz, the equipment switch from Red Wings to Blackhawks gear, and why Chicago ultimately won out over Buffalo.
Patrick Kane recalls the 2010 Stanley Cup-winning goal in Game 6 in Philadelphia. He was the only person who knew the puck had gone in — it lodged in Michael Leighton's back pad. He celebrated alone while his teammates checked with the referee, and he still has nightmares where the puck doesn't go in.
Patrick Kane breaks down the emotional texture of each of the Blackhawks' three Stanley Cup championships. The 2013 down-3-1 comeback was special. The 2015 win at home was unforgettable. But all three had near-misses that could have gone the other way.
Patrick Kane's hip resurfacing surgery was not a full replacement — they capped the femur head to eliminate arthritis while preserving the bone. He felt better the moment he woke up from surgery. But it took two-and-a-half years before the joint felt truly like his own.
Kane recalls that when he was drafted first overall, Blackhawks preseason games had just 3,000 fans — and he could sit in the crowd unnoticed. By Christmas that year, games were selling out. Within two years they signed Hossa and won the Cup. They were too young and naive to fully appreciate it.
Zach went to a boat movie, had 'social drinks,' did a bar crawl home, hit a nightclub he'd never been to, got Taco Bell, popped a nicotine pouch, cracked a Diet Pepsi in bed — and woke up soaked in it with sticky sheets and his phone wet, then came straight to work without showering.
The crew drafts their Mount Rushmore of spoon foods. Ice cream goes first overall, soup goes second, and PFT shockingly passes on cereal to take gelato (then mashed potatoes), letting Hank and Zach steal cereal in the third round — a mistake PFT immediately regrets.
Big Cat makes the sharpest observation about the LeBron signing: Joel Embiid is now the only person on the 76ers who will bear the full weight of failure. Every other star has cover — youth, championships, or the LeBron halo. Embiid has none of that.
Patrick Kane reveals the exact moment the Blackhawks return became real: owner Danny Wirtz called him at 11:03 AM on July 1st the instant free agency opened. Wirtz's voice was emotional, and his line — 'it would be nothing like the city's ever seen before' — hit Kane harder than any free agent pitch could.
