Jonathan Toews 'soaks in' cheers in final game with Blackhawks

CHICAGO -- Jonathan Toews took a couple of small laps and waved to the fans as they chanted "Jonny! Jonny!" He patted his heart and held his stick in the air as the crowd roared.

Toews played one last game with Chicago on Thursday, closing out a wildly successful run that included three Stanley Cup championships in 15 seasons. The captain was showered with cheers all night long as the Blackhawks lost 5-4 to the Philadelphia Flyers in their season finale.

"It's almost hard to accept that love and that praise," Toews said.
