Jonathan Toews Throws the Blackhawks Under the Bus as He Eyes a Return to the NHL
TRENDING NOW
Jonathan Toews has been out of the NHL for two years, and ahead of a potential return, he’s called out his former team as he addresses a potential comeback.
For the past two years now, many expected that former Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews would stay retired, but after a recent health turnaround, he’s been eyeing a return to the NHL.
In a recent interview with The Athletic, Toews opened up on that potential return, and in the process, he revealed that he’s got unfinished business with the Chicago Blackhawks, whose team looks nothing like they did the last time he took the ice for them.
I’m not satisfied the way things ended in Chicago. It’s not about proving anything. It’s just that there’s something left in the tank and I want to explore that. I want to go have fun, have a blast, play with passion.
While a return to Chicago could be seen as poetic and something that some fans would potentially enjoy, he’s also taken a swipe at his former team by suggesting he’s looking to play at a high level again, which may mean he’s not interested in a reunion with his former team.
But at the same time, I still have some high-level hockey left. I want to be able to step away from the game having said that I’ve given it my all. And I still think there’s something left to give.
At this point in time, we know very little about the process of his return to the ice, but on Spittin Chiclets back in March, Ryan Whitney made it clear that a return is coming, noting how good he looks on the ice during his skates in Arizona.
..He’s skating everyday in Arizona, He’s playing.»
