Evander Kane seems to know every route on how to end his own career.
On Thursday, TMZ dropped harrowing footage of the San Jose Sharks star pointing a gun at his extranged wife, but Kane is saying the video is not what people think it is.
Via TMZ:
“Anna Kane — who’s in the middle of an extremely contentious divorce with Evander — posted the footage on her social media page … saying it showed the 30-year-old with a “loaded” firearm.
In the clip, Evander — wearing a white button-down shirt — can be seen walking into a garage with the gun, before he eventually raised it in the air and then pointed it in Anna’s direction.
“Pointing a loaded gun at me,” Anna said in the caption on the video, adding, “Psycho path.”

Evander’s attorneys said the vid is “intentionally taken out of context” and claim it’s all another “tactic” by Anna “to defame Evander in the public eye.”
“She posted videos, taken intentionally out of context, from a professional photo shoot both parties participated in back in 2020,” Evander’s attorneys said in a statement to TMZ Sports.
“Her conduct, unfortunately, is consistent with her prior actions throughout this [divorce] case. Each time, we hope it will be the last. Each time, we strive to keep the peace and put the best foot forward. Each time, Evander is exonerated and Ms. Kane’s allegations are unsubstantiated.”
The attorneys continued, “Evander continues to hope Ms. Kane gets the help she needs, and requests privacy for everyone involved.”
As far as his career goes, Kane recently reported for his first day in the minors to focus on getting back in the league. His 21-game suspension was a result of him submitting a fake COVID-19 vaccination card.
His estranged wife was the reason why the league investigated claims nto him betting on games, including “throwing games to win money.”
The league launched an investigation into those charges and found no evidence they were true.
“It was definitely surprising to see,” he said. “But I genuinely was not worried one bit about it because they were obviously false. There were certain motives behind that that didn’t make sense at the time. But it wasn’t something I lost any sleep over. It was definitely not great to be associated with that at the time. But the league investigated me heavily and interviewed a bunch of different people.”
