Evander Kane isn't liked by many people these days and yesterday's game made it worse.

He threw a hit on Nazem Kadri that took him out of the game.

Check it out:

On Sunday morning, he explained himself:

"I was just coming in on the backcheck. Puck went wide, kind of dribbled into the corner. I know he likes to reverse it. I was just trying to get up on him, that's really all I did. Unfortunately he went into the boards awkwardly and hurt his hand."
