Crapola -- Kane has the flu

Blackhawks right winger Patrick Kane will miss tonight's Game 3 of the Western Conference quarterfinals with flu-like symptoms.

While that doesn't bode well for tonight, it's best to keep Kane away from his teammates. Do whatever it takes to prevent that virus from spreading around the locker room.

The Hawks own a 2-0 series lead over the Calgary Flames after back-to-back 3-2 victories on home ice last week.

UPDATE: The Hawks lose this one 4-2. They still lead the series 2-1 with Game 4 scheduled for 9 p.m. Wednesday in Calgary.
