Blackhawks' Kane a fan of latest bobblehead
The first 10,000 fans to enter the United Center for the Blackhawks' intrasquad scrimmage Sunday will receive a Patrick Kane bobblehead. It features the Hawks' superstar raising his hands in celebration after he scored the game-winning goal in Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Final in Philadelphia.
"It's a good one," Kane said. "I picked it up and the stick dropped. I was trying to put it back in his hand. Then I figured I guess my stick was on the ice when I threw my gloves and stick off like an idiot there after we won."
Kane scored from a tough angle after getting around Flyers defenseman Timmo Kimonen early in OT. Seconds after the puck went into the net, an overjoyed Kane dropped his stick and flung his gloves skyward as he made a bee line toward goalie Antti Niemi.
"It was a really fun time," Kane said. "Every kid dreams of scoring an overtime-winning goal to win the Stanley Cup. Got to do that at 21 years old, so it was a pretty amazing night and obviously being a part of a championship for the Blackhawks' first in 49 years was even more special."
