Patrick Kane credits Ken Daniels for some of his best hockey memories, influencing his decision to stay with the Detroit Red Wings.
Detroit Red Wings fans, if you don't already love broadcaster Ken Daniels, now might be your long overdue hint to start doing so. Daniels has been one of the best voices in the sport of hockey, and it would seem as though one of Detroit's top stars, Patrick Kane, shares that opinion.
On Monday, Red Wings star forward Patrick Kane spoke with members of the media for the first time since signing his new deal to remain with the team for one more season. Kane shared some insight into why he decided to return to Detroit, revealing that Daniels himself had played a role in the decision. Kane indicated that some of his most cherished hockey memories were created in part by Daniels this past season.
"Looking back at some of the moments (last season) and some of the calls that Ken Daniels had, I can watch those clips for the rest of my life," said Kane. "The calls he had on some of the goals I scored, those are moments that give you chills. You want to create more of those."
Kane didn't mention any one moment in particular, and was likely thinking of more than one. However, if I had to pick just one call from Ken Daniels last season that stands out, there's an easy choice to make. Patrick Kane's overtime winner in his return to Chicago was a magical moment, greatly amplified by a truly incredible piece of broadcasting from Ken Daniels.
I could easily believe that this was a season highlight for Kane, as it was one of the most storybook moments of the entire National Hockey League season.
Kane also took a moment to shout out the fans, who welcomed him with open arms despite him representing the rival Chicago Blackhawks for most of his NHL career.
"For me, my heart was set on Detroit and coming back to Detroit I thought the fans really embraced me too," said Kane.
