Evander Kane indicates he wants to fight Jeff O'Neill

Former-player-turned-analyst Jeff O'Neill has apparently caught the ire of Evander Kane. A no-holds-barred interview with Kane has aired on ESPN and TSN that was recorded a few days ago. On Thursday, snippets of video and details of the interview started to be released. One of those details noted that Kane was not happy with "O-Dog", as he's known to fans, for something he said while on air.

"You know, the other day I'm listening to a radio show my buddy sent me via text. It's Jeff O'Neill talking. He said something about me in a negative way and then followed it up by saying 'he needs to have a better relationship with his daughter.' Infuriated is an understatement, when I heard that. You are literally making a judgment about my relationship with my daughter and trying to use that to portray me in a negative way? That's ridiculous. Disgusting. That's crossing the line. I wish Jeff played in the NHL right now."

Kayla Grey, who conducted the interview, asks him to clarify those comments, does he want to fight O'Neill? Kane responds that comment needs no clarification.

Evander Kane also mentions he filed a domestic violence restraining order against his ex-wife first but that doesn't get mentioned.— NHL Watcher (@NHL_Watcher) January 27, 2022

Kane currently has full custody of his one-year-old daughter. He was granted that in court in December. The court's ruling came after a flurry of social media posts from Kane's ex-wife accusing him of various things. None of it has ever been proven in court.

Like or hate Kane, most parents would likely be pretty upset if someone publicly questioned their relationship with their child.

Kane has a deal in place with the Edmonton Oilers for the remainder of the season. He is expected to play with the team as early as this weeked.
