Jonathan Toews FINAL press conference with Blackhawks
/ nbcsportschicago

[@kenkunz1428]

Toews was the engine of those great Blackhawk teams. Thank you Jonny. And compared to most Athlete Press Conferences, He is very well spoken.

[@democraticdialogue7271]

hands down one of the greatest players, leaders and captains. As a Leafs fan, I was always thrilled when Chicago came into town to see Toews do his magic

[@JDL0427]

Toews is so classy he would never voice any disappointment with the club in a moment like this. If he's happy I'm happy for him. Typical of him to call out some of his teammates who had already moved on I hope his health allows him to get back on the ice for a contender. It was an incredible long run he brought to the city. Thanks Jonny!!

[@lokiteddy]

Class to the end. Thank you, our Captain- hopefully Chicago will see you back here in some capacity. ❤🖤❤🖤

[@EvanMcLaren]

It really seems like he failed Kyle Beach in a shocking way.

[@lokiteddy]

@@EvanMcLaren Yes, he did. I’m sure if he comes back as a coach, he would act differently than the top brass who did nothing. One can hope.

[@6idangle]

Unless you’re a sexual assault survivor then he’s suddenly not so much of a leader and not interested in rocking the boat

[@davenc8527]

This is what talent and class look like.

[@vmjr543]

What a true and humble person 👍

[@americanexpat8792]

Total class guy. Mature far beyond his age. Thanks, Johnny!

[@marcalain3729]

Toews classy on and off the ice! The tribute night to him a true tribute to all that he is and the many other Hawks that brought us the 3 cups and an exciting decade. Total Respect to you Toews. Go Hawks Go!

[@kimruppenthal7718]

Wishing you all the best in the future in everything you decide to do. Thank you for the memories from day 1 till the very end. You will be missed on and off the ice. It will be strange not seeing you on the ice with your teammates. Thanks for helping us win the Stanley Cups memories that will last forever. Also thanks for a great career Captain Toews and hope the Blackhawks do something special for you in the coming years. Good luck to you always Jonathan.

[@gund2281]

I has the sad...Man it's hard to see the official end of "the cup era." 2008-2009 is what brought me from kind of paying attention to the Hawks to being an all the time Hawks fan. Johnny was obviously a HUGE part of that. So many great memories from that era. We all know that it eventually has to end. We know it when it starts. But it doesn't make it any easier to deal with when it actually happens.

[@Fhhsfft]

Ew you try too hard

[@javelldunn3379]

Thank you Jonathan Toews for everything you do for us 😢❤🖤

[@bp8575]

Thank you 19

[@maxcapacity7022]

Straight to the HHOF. Thanks for the memories JT !!

[@daverichard3377]

1000% a polished pro , remarkable on & off the ice 10/10🎯👍🇨🇦👏

[@lethalbydefault]

One of the best captains of all time. In all sports! Big shoes to fill for sure.

[@thedarkdade]

Super successful, super wealthy . A GOAT for sure. Yet, he sits here with tremendous class and professionalism. My god what an amazing Hockey player and HUMAN BEING.

[@squirrelyweasel3866]

Thank You Toews!!!

[@blackbirdflyyx]

“I don’t want to sit here and admit that I’m gonna be a Rangers fan, but I’ll always be a Patrick Kane fan.” ❤😂

[@danatomalty396]

Class act always….

[@mrjupiter80]

Between this and Landy's presser yesterday, hockey has me all bummed out heading into the playoffs.

[@theburbankblues]

Who’s a Sioux fan here? Go Sioux!

[@colinlobo474]

Indians ! for Trump ! and Trudeau !

[@miket6350]

Got some big shoes to fill.

[@blackbirdflyyx]

A bit late but I don’t think the Hawks have showed Toews or Kane enough gratitude throughout all this. I was expecting at the very least that their numbers to be retired. I mean, this is the longest captaincy the Blackhawks have had. Even if Toews’s health has made him a somewhat unreliable player in the last couple of years, you can’t deny what his leadership has brought the organization. For all that he’s done for them I also wish he got to leave on his own terms but it doesn’t seem the Hawks are too concerned about honouring the past as they focus on rebuilding. As Toews said it’s a business. Good on him for calling up all the ex-teammates that were with him through his best and worst moments. He has a level of professionalism and class that most athletes don’t, as evidenced by even just this press conference, and what a force to be reckoned with during his prime!

[@jessewestsd4668]

Vancouver please make a run for this guy!

[@Crosbymanee87]

Bro he’s done

[@stewarts8597]

A true warrior

[@vmjr543]

I say bring back Toews and Kane at age 37 or 38 for one last cup run especially if we land Bedard

[@TyTheSoxFan7]

❤

[@flynnkeira1447]

Retire his number !! He’s done so much for the team

[@kentoz1970]

Toews will play for Colorado next season.

[@Esotericism72]

Him and Kane deserve a statue in front of the arena

[@gmaii882]

I will miss you and hopefully be some back to somewhere play hockey

[@jamesw8804]

Johnny !

[@JA-rs3os]

How do you not at least offer this guy a 2 yr deal. I hope he goes on to play 2 more yrs if his health is there?

[@michaelmacintyre6996]

Spoken like a true hockey player, look you in the eye, answer the question, pay homage to those who were with you when you succeeded and struggled. Pure class in this man.

[@lawrencesin3595]

Farewell Cta.

[@kingtrawal]

give this niqqa a statue next to MJ

[@TheBlkgrffn]

Honestly both his and Kane's number belong in the rafters. Some of the greatest player of all time.

[@Trojans175]

@@TheBlkgrffn I second that but I think Toews' should have the captains "C" on it

[@nancymurphy2265]

Sad. Just sad.

[@habitwall]

Very sad

[@brentmacdonald8073]

Should of traded him to a contender.

[@ryanaustin1970]

If this is the end id love to see him go work for Stevie Y ... learn from the best #19 then come back and be gm of the hawks

[@stadiumarena5891]

St. Louis Blues Traded Jonathan Toews

[@andresperez7476]

Wonder who the new C on the team is? 🐕🐖🐃

[@chriswitek9455]

i was wondering that too and have absolutely NO IDEA who the heck would get it

[@sandlot90130]

Connor bedard

[@Fhhsfft]

No one for years. The captaincy should be vacant until Chicago is competitive again.

[@193ksp]

If it goes to Seth Jones I will be sick.

[@Recon6delta]

You should go sign a one year deal with the pens 🤷🏻‍♂️!

[@billiantjeaniussmartell3124]

can you help my kid with hockey and play for oilers........ please return my ring

[@user-zn5tr7tq4i]

this is so bland

[@TC-dw6wg]

Bye 🙄

[@collectbaseball5328]

Looks jabbed

[@stadiumarena5891]

Jonathan Toews he is play for the Blues play at Enterprise Center in St. Louis 🏟

[@stephenchristian5739]

kings fan here so obviously seeing dustin retire was so damn painful even 40 50 games into this year I thought oh man WE NEED HIM BACK, So is Toews retiring or not? I can't watch the entire thing folks what is he talking about it sounds like another team 1 more push 4 a cup next year?
