New sports fad: Blame Taylor Swift (maybe Knicks should try it)

The power of Taylor Swift is no laughing matter, just ask Patrick Kane.

The 26-year-old winger, who helped the Chicago Blackhawks clinch the Stanley Cup earlier this summer, recently reminisced about his rookie season with then-coach Denis Savard during the team’s fan convention this past Saturday. While Kane has certainly come a long way since his days a first-year pro, Savard shared that the “Bad Blood” singer did get the better of him during a matchup against the Nashville Predators.

As Savard recalls, Kane must have been distracted by the two “gorgeous blondes” sitting behind the bench, which led to the Predators scoring their only goal of the game.
