Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane was rushed to the hospital after his wrist was sliced open by the skate of Tampa Bay Lightning's Pat Maroon on November 8, 2022. Blood was pouring all over the ice from Kane's wrist. The 31-year-old looked horrified as he raced back to the locker room.
While he was dealing with the medical emergency, his ex-wife Anna Kane took a shot at him on social media. Anna posted some suggestive photos to her Instagram story and wrote "Only smiles over here" while promoting her OnlyFans account.
The move was bizarre and didn't sit well with fans who were quick to criticize her for the insensitive posts. Some of the posts were eventually removed from her story.
The Kanes went through a messy divorce that saw both parties make heinous allegations against each other. Evander Kane was awarded custody of their daughter via divorce proceedings. The couple officially split up in 2021, ending their short-lived union.
It's clear that there is a lot of bad blood between the two. Anna's decision to troll her ex-husband while he was dealing with a mortifying wrist injury was unnecessary. The Oilers announced that Kane underwent surgery to repair his injured wrist. He was out for two months and returned to action on January 17.
The forward posted to Twitter the next morning to thank fans for their support. Anna's decision to promote her OnlyFans account while her ex-husband was dealing with a serious injury has been widely criticized.
Evander Kane's ex-wife accused him of gambling
Evander Kane, a winger for the Edmonton Oilers, found himself at the center of a controversy when his ex-wife accused him of betting on NHL games in August 2021. Anna Kane took to Instagram to make the allegations, stating that he was "throwing games to win money."
Kane quickly denied the accusations, stating on Twitter that he had never gambled on hockey or bet on any of his games. He also professed his love for hockey and how would never do anything to ruin the integrity of the game.
Regardless of the outcome, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency in sports. Gambling and throwing games are serious offenses that can cause irreparable damage to the sport.
