With legal questions swirling, it was more than reasonable to wonder if Patrick Kane’s day with the Stanley Cup might be postponed or canceled, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.
ESPN’s Katie Strang reports that it will happen, yet he’s keeping it to a private day with his family.

(The Chicago Sun-Times has a little more on his “low-key” day with the Cup.)
News surfaced on Thursday that there is a rape investigation underway regarding Kane, 26. Hamburg police confirmed as much on Friday.
While the Chicago Blackhawks winger is getting his day with the Cup, it sounds as though several plans were scuttled, according to the Buffalo News’ Tim Graham.
Graham notes that Scotty Bowman spent time with the trophy on Friday.
