I don't think Toews was ever meant to be an Ovechkin or Benn type player. Some say he could've been a time ago, but perhaps at the expense of developing an overall game that makes his teammates better. Point is I still wouldn't take any other player that what Toews actually is--and I'm sure you agree with that. I won't begrudge a dime or that contract until he starts missing those chances in game 5's, 6's or 7's.
I get that hockey is an emotional game with emotional fans (lord, do I know...). I just figured that Blackhawks fans of all people would know when the appropriate time is to be emotional. Unless you personally harbor an extraordinary amount of hatred for the Carolina Hurricanes or their fans, I don't see how this loss rates above "extra five minutes in morning traffic" in the anger meter.
jamie benn is a better hockey player than toews.
