We are mere hours away from Evander Kane’s return to Winnipeg as a member of the Buffalo Sabres, and while Kane expects a hostile atmosphere, so far it’s more on the ... humorous side.
Maybe such mockery is downright hostile, but either way, Jets fans seem to be having fun with #TrackSuitNight.
TSN’s Gary Lawless passed along some highlights, including these:

Kane, for his part, is playing the indifferent card.
With No. 9, it's almost like his four years with #NHLJets didn't happen: "I really don't think too much about Winnipeg. At all."

... And that includes the subject of #TrackSuitNight.
Kane on the idea of Track Suit Day: "I have no reaction to that." #NHLJets.

Update: Literally a bumpy start for Kane.
