Video: Kane urges patience, but ‘trying to heal as fast as I can’

That video, per the Chicago Sun-Times, was shot today after Blackhawks star Patrick Kane practiced in a no-contact jersey with his teammates.

Clearly, Kane was trying to temper any expectations that he could beat the 12-week timeline that was originally set for his return from a broken clavicle.

“You wish you could be out there tomorrow with the guys, and start playing right away,” Kane said. “But it’s not realistic. It’s not possible. You’ll drive yourself crazy if you start thinking of certain dates when you can come back. The only thing I can really control is trying to heal as fast as I can, trying to get myself in the best shape as possible. And if it’s seven weeks, great. If it’s five weeks, great. If it’s six weeks, great. Who knows what it’s going to be in the end? I think the timetable’s still at the 12-week mark.”

Though if we were betting, we’d take the under.
