Tazer seems like a smart man. Rather have him survive than him be a vegetable.

Joel Quenneville said Jonathan Toews (concussion) had a good day today. He worked out. But no skating yet.

skating is the next step, than being able to take hits. I fear for him, I really do.

If you guys see a reliable source in a tweet ETC, post as soon as you can about Toews or any other injury.

#Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews confirms he has concussion. Feeling better but not sure when he'll be back.

Some people think this shit is just a bruise.

Need to wake up & face reality that this can end careers.

If he doesn't come back til training camp then so be it. His health is way more important.

Who in the world thinks that this is just a bruise? Pretty sure almost everyone realizes the severity of concussions, easily one of the hottest topics in sports today.

I don't think anyone wants Toews to come back ASAP, but rather people want him to come back when he is 100% and ready to go and not shut him down regardless if he is ready to go.

specifically thats the problem in pro sports and all the way down to the highschool level. Forcing players back from injuries where they are not 100% risking more injury has been the MO in sports history for years. Being medically cleared doesnt always mean you can buy that the player is 100%. My trust level on these specifics are very low from just the recorded history. If he comes back, I really hope he is actually 100% and Dr's are being honest, hell I hope the player(s) like toews are honest as well.

There will always be a human element and human error to it, but until we can hook someone up to a machine and read their brain 100% or something crazy like that, there is always going be this issue.

In this case, we are fans and we know very, very little about what is going on behind the scenes and with this case specifically. At some point you just have to trust the medical staff, the player, the organization, etc and give it a go when everything seems to be 100%. I do know that NHL players have said that the test they must pass to prove they are concussion free is hard to even pass in general when they are 100%. Equipment has gotten better, Dr.s have, awareness has, etc. It is what it is and hopefully Toews is 100% to go in the near future and at that time I would expect him back on the ice when possible.

More importantly, you want the guy to live a normal life outside hockey & not have to worry about this stuff.
