Patrick Kane Quotes

You got the ball in your hands and you're in command, and if you get your good pitch where you want it, nobody's gonna hit you.

When you play with good players, they will always create chances for the forwards to score.

When we've got the puck, they can't score.

I love being out there on the mound with the ball in my hand. I can control the game. I'm out there. No clock - nothing happens until I throw that thing. Nothing happens. I love that feeling.

I've had this sneaking feeling throughout the game that it's there to be won.

If I have got a swing, I have got a shot.

I think, for me, I'm a player that wants the puck, and I'm a better player when I have it.

When I stepped into the box, I felt the at-bat belonged to me. Everybody else was there for my convenience. The pitcher was there to throw me a ball to hit. The catcher was there to throw it back to him if he didn't give me what I wanted the first time. And the umpire was lucky that he was close enough to watch.

If I get a target, I want the ball in my hands.

Penalties are easy if you score, but in open play, we create chances as well.

It's just part of me, playing the puck.

You have got to be one step ahead, as a striker, to create that space you need. Apart from the ball, when you're a striker, it is space that's your best friend. You need space.

Generally, you're going into every game with excitement. You know you're going to play forward and not going to defend. You're going to try to create and score goals.

I like it when the team is in control of the match. I like very much the ball possession; I like to play in the other half.

When I have the ball at my feet, I'm in different world.

Goal scorers are always sniffing things out, but once they realize 'hey, if I don't have the puck I can't score,' then you have to be a part of the solution so you can get it back so you can score.

I am happy with my form; I just need to score a couple of goals. I want the ball. I want to create something.

I like to have the puck when I have speed. You know, then I'm dangerous.

I like to control the ball and analyse the game.

Positional play is good for training, but in games, to win matches, you need someone who can go past defenders and take chances.

Chances to win games won't always come in the box, so that's one thing I've got to work on: positioning myself outside the box and, obviously, taking shots.

I am not a player who stays on the edge of the box and waits for a chance.

Carrying the ball is one of the strongest points in my game and I like to be a danger on the pitch.

It comes to the point where, if a midrange shot is there, I'm going to take it. If I'm open, I have to shoot that shot. That's a great shot for the team and myself.

When you have the ball, you are free.
