In the last year, Taylor Swift has been in the news a lot. The singer was directly named Personality of the year by the magazine TIMEan honor that recognized his larger-than-life impact on popular culture in 2023.
Whether you listen to her music or not, I’m sure you’ve heard of her more than once this year.
Obviously, therefore, she has been the talk of the town since the start of the year, and Thursday evening, Denis Savard revealed a rather comical anecdote linked to the singer and… Patrick Kane.
In fact, about fifteen years ago, Savard, who was then Kane’s coach in Chicago, cut short a discussion between Kane and Swift, preventing his player from finishing speaking to him.
Savard also spoke to the singer at the time, telling her that there are “rules to follow on a hockey team.”

In fact, at the time (presumably the whole thing took place in 2008), Kane and the Blackhawks were playing a game in Nashville, where the singer was established at the start of her career. Savard was very strict that his players had to be ready to leave on the bus the moment he entered it.
However, that evening, Kane was a little late getting on the bus since he was speaking with two young women, including Swift. So Savard went to see him and he ended the conversation abruptly.
The next day, Kane went to see his trainer to explain that it was Taylor Swift, who already had some popularity at the time. Savard bluntly replied that he “didn’t care,” but in fact, he didn’t know who the singer was.
So he had to ask his wife, who explained it to him.
Who knows, maybe if it hadn’t been for Denis Savard’s intervention, Patrick Kane would have finally become Taylor Swift’s Travis Kelce. It wouldn’t have hurt to give the NHL some visibility, in any case: if the NFL, which is a much bigger league, has been gaining popularity for months because of the singer, imagine the impact it would have would have had on the NHL.
A rather unusual story from Savard, therefore, which has something to provoke reactions in this year where the singer has caused people to talk in a way that few people have managed to do. Maybe without Denis Savard, everything would have been different in the end…

– David Reinbacher: is his knee still bothering him?
Really wondering how much his knee is still bothering Reinbacher on certain moves.
He is still clearly struggling going backward but crosses are fine in terms of speed and effort. Like this sequence. (64 white) pic.twitter.com/DgUlqBW2Ik— Thibaud Chatel (@Thibaud_Chatel) December 9, 2023
– After losing the Shohei Ohtani derby to the Dodgers, what will the Jays do?
The Jays will obviously reallocate the $600M they were willing to give Ohtani and give that to guys like Yamamoto, Bellinger and like Chapman or someone else, right?
