REPORT: Patrick Kane not on the ice today for Blackhawks and fans are FREAKING

It appears that the Patrick Kane saga is reaching its conclusion. Over the past few weeks, there have been rumors swirling about where he might end up, especially after the New York Rangers acquired Vladimir Tarasenko, seemingly ending Kane's chances of reuniting with former teammate Artemi Panarin.

However, news broke yesterday that the Rangers were close to finalizing a deal to bring Kane to the Big Apple after all.

Although Kane was reported to have taken a "maintenance" day and was not on the ice today, fans are speculating that he is likely in the process of joining the Rangers.
