Fine trolling from sentium
pfffft, like we'd listen to the opinion of some ****ing liberal hippy Swede living in Sweden writing about a fine upstanding businessman in Ottawa
Ok I gotta chime in just a little bit and will keep it rather short.
Leaders are human. Sometimes they too need a little support. I urge you all to watch highlight interviews of Blackhawk players. To a man they mention Toews in almost every interview in some capacity. The ONLY thing us fans really ever get to see his the product of him on the ice. We do not see him in the dressing rooms, we do not see him at practice, we do not see him behind closed doors going over anything team related. We do not see how he bonds with his teammates.
Have " You" meaning anyone here, never melted down before over something? Regardless of whatever career you have, you've most certainly acted out of " normal character" a time or two. I will bet on that.
Toews has 2 Stanley Cups! He plays injured quite often. He does a shitload of big and little things to help put his team in position to win. He makes players around him better. He makes life easier on the coaching staff. He is beloved by fans and he respects ALL fans and ALL Media members and respects the game of HOCKEY.
So he had a little bit of a meltdown. WOW he's human. I liked that he showed that emotion for that exact reason. The ****ing guy is rock solid, class act and treats everyone with respect.
So Seabrook comes over and basically for lack of words just simply tells him keep your head on straight, we need you. Let's crucify Toews and " Label" him now. Makes SOOOOOOO much sense. Bullshit.
Toews has 2 Cups and barring any crazy injury will be a Hall-of-Famer someday and will win at least one more cup.
Oh and another thing in case anyone forgets, this player we speak of is only 25 years old and basically holds a CITY of a population 2.7 MILLION residents on his BACK!
How many 25 years can you think of that do this?
The guy is leader and a great captain.
HE'S A GOD DAMN CHICAGO BLACKHAWK!!

Naw, he hit a guy on the shinpad with his stick. I shield the eyes of my children whenever he comes on the screen.
Remember, Dakkster, you just acquired the most classless captain in the league according to Leafs fans.
