Shades of Grant Fuhr, with Kane's wife coming forward saying he bet on his own games and even threw games.
I bet the NHL will take a close look at Sharks games to see if there's any blatantly obvious plays he made to shift the course of the outcome of the contest.
And it's impossible not to think of Grant Fuhr, whose wife came out and said during his Stanley Cup run with the Oilers he was coked-out of his mind one-third of the time. She got very specific and said if you watch his games you'll see he was a world beater two games in a row when he was coked-out, and then had a bad game on his third game when he was coming down off the coke. She said that cycle repeated itself for six seasons. I always thought his reflexes were other-worldly.
Which leads to another performance-enhancing drug: LSD.
In June 1970, Dock Ellis, a starting pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, was in a Los Angeles hotel visiting a friend while his teammates were getting ready to take on the Padres in San Diego. He took a hit of acid and stayed up all night drinking. He took another hit the next afternoon...believing he was not going to pitch...when he got the call: He was going to be pitching that night .
He pitched a no-hitter, the only no-hitter of his career, against the Padres. At one point during the game he thought Richard Nixon was the home plate umpire and the batter was Jimi Hendrix who was swinging a guitar at the ball.
He said the strike zone looked as wide as the ocean. I can relate.
There were so many drugs going around the base in North Chicago when I was stationed there, they had to shut the base down at one point because over half the sailors were in restrictive custody for drugs (it made international headlines). One of my roommates said he enlisted in the Navy just to deal drugs, and in his locker he had every imaginable drug on the shelves, and he emptied that locker every day and had to refill it every night. I never seen so many drugs in my life...cocaine, cannabinol, LSD, PCP...name it.
So one day we dropped a hit of acid and went to the gymnasium to shoot some hoops, and decided to play horse with two black guys for five bucks a game.
The acid kicked in the middle of shooting free throws from the top of the key. I couldn't miss. The basket looked like it was 5 feet in diameter. I hit 19 out of 20 shots and the only one I missed was because I was laughing so hard. Once I was dialed-in, it was almost impossible to miss. Replicating physical mechanics under the influence of LSD turned out to be the easiest thing in the world. The look on the black guys faces was priceless. "That white boy can shoot!"
I'm sure Dock Ellis can relate. Steroids aren't the only performance-enhancing drug.
As for Evander Kane, I wonder what the investigation will turn up. If they find some blatantly obvious plays where he intentionally screwed up, I believe he played his last game in the NHL.
And the morale to the story is: Watch out who you marry!

Yeah he may be a bit of a kinky freak, but what two consenting adults do behind closed doors is their own business, and I'm not so quick play judge, jury and executioner. And quite frankly this chick sounds like she has a few screws loose. I'd be willing to bet she set Bauer up. If those text messages are legit, if nothing else it shows she's a predator with bad intentions. And Bauer is only guilty of stupidity and putting himself in that situation.
