“How can the NHL keep a person addicted to betting still competing when they apparently drop matches for profit? Can anyone ask (commissioner) Gary Bettman how they can let players bet on their own matches? ”Wrote Anna Kane.
In another post, she accused her husband of going on holiday to Europe and leaving her at home without funds, so she had to sell her wedding ring so she could buy baby food for their one-year-old daughter.
The management of the competition announced that it would verify Kane’s wife’s allegations, and the investigation was also supported by San Jose. “The integrity of our sport is key to us, and the NHL takes these allegations very seriously,” said the competition.
Kane’s interest in betting has come to light before. In 2019, a Canadian striker sued a Las Vegas casino for failing to pay a $ 500,000 debt he lost during a playoff against the local Golden Knights.
However, he strongly rejected the wife’s claim. “I’ve never bet on hockey, I’ve never bet on Sharks, I’ve never bet on my own matches, and I’ve never dropped a match,” he said on Twitter. “In fact, I personally had my best season of my career, I played as consistently as I have in any other season, and I’m proud of that. I like hockey and I would never do what I was told, “he wrote, adding that he will cooperate with the league in the investigation.
