Patrick Kane, the most prolific playoff performer of his generation, and one of the most clutch performers in postseason history, isn't used to packing his bags in April.
Ousted by the St. Louis Blues in the first round, the Chicago Blackhawks find themselves in an unfamiliar position.
"It just doesn't really feel right," Kane said after Game 7.
A three-time Stanley Cup Champion and Conn Smythe winner, Kane only recorded one goal in the series, albeit a big one: the overtime winner in Game 5. He added six assists over the seven opening-round games.
It is only the third time in Kane's career that the Blackhawks haven't made it out of the first round.
