Chicago Blackhawks: Jonathan Toews Still Doesn’t Get Enough Credit

Jonathan Toews, 31, is currently the first-line center and the captain of the Chicago Blackhawks, a team that has had a lot of success under his leadership including 3-Stanley Cups, 5 visits to the Western Conference Finals, and 9-straight seasons of making the playoffs (2009-2017).

Toews is the only player in NHL history to be named team captain at age 20, the 6th youngest of all-time.

He has been a constant leader and has done the things that go unnoticed to the casual fan, like how well he plays on defense, the amount of success he has had at the faceoff dot in big moments, killing penalties, playing long minutes (especially in the playoffs), and doing everything else the team asks of him.
