Patrick Kane was trying to remember his first Circus Trip with the Blackhawks.
“I couldn’t really tell you what happened,” Kane said with a laugh. “I’m pretty sure that I struggled on it. It’s something I had not really been through before. It was a different one, that’s for sure.”
Kane’s right about that 2007-08 Circus Trip, his first. He did struggle on it, getting just one point (vs. Nashville in a 5-4 overtime loss). And much like several Blackhawks rookies now, the biggest adjustment was going on a trip that long and playing in that may games in a short amount of time.
