that would imply he gave the driver money. i dont get the robbery angle unless the news articles are leaving something out

They took the fare back and they apparently took $100 from him. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 10:26 16
- he's a criminal mastermind as well as a hockey player! -- nm - Beaker Aug 10, 10:35 15

    - that's the alcohol methinks -- nm - Guy Aug 10, 10:58
    - vancouver cabbies pull this all the time, and it enrages me (not that I'd consider hitting them). fare is $21.50, you give $them 30, they go - mafic Aug 10, 10:48 4

      - I try to use cab companies that take interac. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 10:50 2
        
        they all have to take visa in vancouver. that's what I do if they pull the no change thing. they don't like taking visa. -- nm - mafic Aug 10, 10:52 1
        
        reminds me of the old Air Farce skit, the Montreal Cab Driver. (No Visa, lady, or I keel you!) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 10:56
    - and would have been due $-5-$7 mil when he his rookie contract runs out...what an f'n' moron -- nm - Beaker Aug 10, 10:37 7
      - I don't think that's at risk... yet. (see: Danny Heatley) - Reagen Aug 10, 10:41 5
        
        at least heatley could plausibly go with 'stupid accident.' I think kane's lost that defense. -- nm - mafic Aug 10, 10:44 3
        
        he could go with the "i was shitfaced" defense -- nm - Guy Aug 10, 11:02 2

        I was just thinking more why start a fight over 20 cents. crazy. -- nm - Beaker Aug 10, 10:44
      - (based on his career stats and such) -- nm - Beaker Aug 10, 10:38
He took back the money he paid with iirc. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 10, 10:26
