Lotta hullaballoo about the Patrick Kane point streak. People get uppity over second assists that they don't think he really deserved an assist to keep the streak going.

I take it his point in last night's game was in that category.

Meh. Whatevarr. Second assist - shmecond shmassist.

I'd be surprised if Gretz didn't get a few charitable calls during his record streak.
 
Here it is, Kane's only point in last night's game, extending the streak.

So from the last time he touched the puck a guy receives his pass, makes a pass to someone else, that guy takes a shot, misses, picks up a rebound, then another pass - back to the same guy who passed it to him before took his shot - and then the goal.

In my world, that would not be an assist for Kane but I think that is pretty standard charity in the game these days, streak or not.
