from the Chicago Sun-Times,
It’s just one 19-year-old rookie’s first NHL game in his hometown, but Patrick Kane has been thinking about the Blackhawks’ visit to Buffalo for quite awhile—and with good reason.
The NHL thought it was a big enough deal to schedule a media teleconference so Kane could give his thoughts on Saturday’s game. The Buffalo media sent representatives to Chicago this week to shadow Kane for a few days, and the Sabres took the unusual step of opening Saturday’s morning skate to the public so more fans can see the No. 1 draft pick skate live.
‘‘It’s not just another game. It’ll be a special night for him,’’ Hawks coach Denis Savard said. ‘‘I’ve been through it. There are a lot of distractions. A lot of people want to see you, and you want to see them—but you’ve got a job to do.’‘
