Jonathan Toews

(upper body) will not travel with his teammates to Ottawa where Chicago will begin a three-game road trip on Friday. Coach Joel Quenneville is hoping that Toews will join the Blackhawks during their road swing, but he added a "we'll see," so it may not be likely. The team captain is said to be making progress from what is believed to be a concussion and he took part in an off-ice workout on Wednesday. (Source: Chicago Tribune)

(suspected concussion) had an off-ice workout on Wednesday. This is the first time that Toews has worked out since going down with the upper body injury on Feb. 18. He missed his fifth straight game on Wednesday and there is no timetable for his return at this time. (Source: Chicago Tribune)

We need him. But the bulls-eye on him upon his return? Enormous.

Cant be any bigger than it was during the losing streak.

He was getting mugged during that road trip. Teams figured out they could slap him around without repercussions and it really snowballed.

True, the playoffs are the playoffs; it'll get no bigger there than it's always been. Without Scott now? Ugh.

 

[Captain Iago]

Leddy practiced today; assume his wrist is ok.

Dodged a HUGE bullet there. :lol:

 

[tbo41fan]

Toews did more off ice stuff today...Q is "hopeful" Toews could join Hawks on current road trip

Montador skated for the first time since his injury

Hammer is on the trip with the hawks

 

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

good news

 

[tbo41fan]

extremely good news

 

[ChitwnRyan60452]

How long do the Hawks wait till they shut Toews down for the season?

 

[tbo41fan]

How long do the Hawks wait till they shut Toews down for the season?

if it goes that long...not before we are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs

which, even if your an eternal doubter will not be for another 2-3 weeks :lol:

 

[DewsSox79]

if this upper body injury is infact a concussion, this team isnt good enough to win the cup this year with toews. Id shut him down if he does indeed have a concussion

 

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

Knock off the SHUT HIM DOWN FOR THE YEAR talk

Yeah, lets shut Crosby down... oh wait, it turns out it was a neck injury that was causing the concussion symptoms.

ITS AN EPIDEMIC!!!!!!!!!

Idiots. You don't know shit.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Jonathan Toews (upper body) will not play in either of Chicago's next two road games.

Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville insists that Toews injury is still of the day-to-day variety, but it certainly doesn't sound like fantasy owners should count on him returning any time soon. Toews hasn't played since Feb. 19 and he still isn't skating. He is believed to have a concussion, but that hasn't been confirmed.

Nothing new. Think the captain is donezo for the season & possibly the playoffs. (if they get there)

^He's not done for season, you're just extremely pessimistic.

This sucks, having to beat DET and STL without our best player. Oh wait, Kane is our best player now :thinking:

Are you calling us idiots for stating that he should be shut down if it is indeed a concussion?

Settle down princess.

 

[DewsSox79]

if he honestly thinks that we are idiots for wanting one of the best hockey players shut down if,again if he has a concussion than he is the fucking idiot. I dont give a **** what is causing the concussion with any player. Concussions are a growing concern and we are finding out a lot more about them. If he i concussed I would want him shut down, end of story. not winning the cup this year so why ruin the future of this franchise possibly with playing him. makes no sense....oh wait it would show he has fire and passion and stuff.
