Evander Kane of the Winnipeg Jets Tried to Call Floyd Mayweather on a Phone of Money Stacks, Fans Outraged

All, Boxing, NHL, Vegas Stephen Douglas December 19th. 2012, 11:21am

Evander Kane is a 21-year old who hasn’t worked in months. He must have saved up lots of money from summer jobs because early this morning he tweeted this picture of himself pretending to call Floyd Mayweather with a stack of hundred dollar bills from a balcony of a Las Vegas casino. Because that is the only way to get a hold of Floyd Mayweather. Seriously.

@EKande9Jets: Hey @FloydMayweather pick up your phone cause I’m callin #imdifferent

This has upset some fans according to the Winnipeg Free Press:

Twitter has exploded with Jets fans chastising Kane for the timing of the tweet.

The lockout has resulted in layoffs for employees around the NHL and eliminated work for game day staff in all 30 NHL cities.

Kane is a kid with lots of money (he signed a 6-year, $31.5 million contract in September) and even more free time on his hands because of the NHL lockout. Fans probably shouldn’t be mad at him for taking dumb college kid pictures in Vegas, but they have to be mad at someone.

If the season gets canceled will there be a lottery for the entire draft order? Didn’t they do that last time?

Winnipeg was a solid squad in NHL ’94; Selanne and Housely were terrfic.
Theo Fleury (outside of Roenick) was a machine in that game.

I certainly hope so. Leafs would have an excellent chance of landing another high pick. Seth Jones playing with Morgan Rielly for the next decade would be fine with me.
As a lockout cancelled the games of the 2004–05 NHL season, the draft order was determined by lottery on July 22, 2005. Teams were assigned 1 to 3 balls based on their playoff appearances and first overall draft picks from the past three years. According to the draft order, the selection worked its way up to 30 as usual; then instead of repeating the order as in past years, the draft “snaked” back down to the team with the first pick. Therefore the team with the first pick overall would not pick again until the 60th pick. The team with the 30th pick would also get the 31st pick. The new CBA reduced the draft to seven rounds in length, compared to nine rounds in years past.

Spence I read that ball had very high r&d compared to many others; however I have never found one so I cannot speak to it;
when I need a ball to try to carry that water hazzard on a dare, I am not descriminaing

i cant remember which model it was specifically, but it’s the same as one of the older callaway premium balls. i thikn it was their first line with the hexagonal dimples.
agreed on the ‘care-free’ ball.

I was keeping every ball I found on the course; they had this mine field in iraq that was too costly to fix so they turned it into a driving range for troops – so I’d send these “if it ships it fits” boxes thtere with all my finds; but since we’re not there I am giving less of a crap about locating lost treasure

They probably will and, if you recall, the Pens got Crosby in that draft.

Ironically enough, my job is almost solely a result of Obama winning re-election. Part of the position entails working to help build state and federal HC exchanges — training, networking, systems development, messaging, etc.
