Video: Patrick Kane shows off just how strong his collar bone is.

There have been rumors for several weeks now that Patrick Kane is ahead of schedule on his recovery, and a recent video of hi mat practice has lent further credence to those rumors. Not only did the Blackhawks star once again skate in practice but he was showing off the power of his shot, and based on the sound from the impact it certainly doesn't seem like his broken collar bone is hindering him. Add to that the fact that once again Head Coach Joel Quenneville made it clear he believed Kane would be ready to return come playoff time and you've got some very promising picture for Blackhawks fans. According to Quenneville is just a matter of medical clearance at this point.

"Tough to say," said Quenneville. "Medical clearance is the hurdle. … That's where it's at."

Here's the video of Kane firing off a rocket at practice.
