NHL star Patrick Kane lovingly lugs the Stanley Cup to Jimmy Buffett concerts

by Dan MacRae

If there are truly two beloved groups of people in this world, it’s Parrotheads and mullet-headed jocks. WE KID! Everyone thinks both groups are largely garbage and should be imprisoned in outer space, but we needed a clunky way to remind you that Patrick Kane seems incapable of keeping the Stanley Cup away from a Jimmy Buffett concert.

For the third (THIRD!) time in Kane’s Cup-nabbing career, the Chicago Blackhawk has lugged this silver liquor receptacle to a Buffett performance. Wearing a comedy® parrot hat and a zany™ shirt, the American star lifted hockey’s coveted bit of hardware a bunch during Buffett’s rendition of “Volcano.” Did this Saturday spectacle feature the goofiest brand of dancing ever recorded on video? You better believe it. Kane also sports a man bun now, by the way.

Photographic evidence of the great Stanley/Buffett summit of 2015 also bubbled up online, reminding the world that Professor Cheeseburger in Paradise has a better relationship with hockey glory than the Toronto Maple Leafs. Odds are if the Buds ever win the Cup, it’ll pop up at a holographic Glass Tiger show in 2125.
