Patrick Kane had some high praise for Victor Hedman after the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final.
Kane, who led the Blackhawks in points with 23, saw a lot of the big Lightning blue-liner and was limited to three points in the series as a result. He offered a candid assessment of Hedman's talent during a postgame interview.
Kane says Hedman is "probably the toughest guy to play against in the league" aside from the guys on his team.
