[cliffclaven]

He was on tonight praising Kane for 1000 games but what’s up with him?

Nope, no news

 

[Chips]

Lots of random rumors, no news. I don’t even think his team knows judging from a few days old article

some health thing causing lethargy or drained feeling, that’s as close as we know

 

[jcs0218]

He looked pale and sickly in the video to Kane.

Very thin.

Rumours of things from post-Covid symptoms to Lymes disease to some unknown debilitating disease.

Don’t want to speculate, but it looks like his weight has plummeted. What the cause is, who knows?

Toews is a great player and seems like a pretty decent human being as well. Hopefully he makes a full recovery from whatever he’s going through.

 

[Jacob]

Just watched the video and aside from some weird lighting (bathroom?) that makes him look kinda pale he looks normal.

 

[PaulD]

Best wishes and speedy recovery for a great captain .
Team misses him for sure

Agreed. It's scary to see him this pale. He deserves better.

Agreed. It's scary to see him this pale. He deserves better.

Again, I don’t want to speculate but how gaunt, pale, and thin he looks is mildly worrisome for the guy. He kind of had that heroin chic look to him like models from the 90s.

I’ve heard lots of rumours linking it to Lyme disease, which with his symptoms that would make sense. But again, that’s speculation and absolutely nothing verifying that. Frankly, he deserves his rights to privacy as well while he deals with whatever it is.

Hoping for nothing but the best for him. Guys is a gamer and extremely competitive, whatever he’s going through is obviously very serious and real life health concerns are more important than hockey.

 

[Chrisinroch]

He looks fine to me

As someone with a chronic illness, everyone always thinks it's Lyme.

I know you mean well, but it's not worth even putting it out there, because it just feeds the rumour mill. Someone will read your posts and pass it along as factual.

Looked like lighting caused him to look pale for part of video. Thing that gives some hope is both Toews in the video and Kane in a write up both said hope to see you soon.

To me that hints of at least potential return sometime in not too distant future

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Lock it up

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I wouldn't be so quick to jump to a Lyme disease diagnosis.

Weight loss, Fatigue and a paler complexion could be the manifestation of a lot of diseases both chronic and relatively acute.

Wish him a speedy recovery.

I hope he’s well and recovers from whatever it is, but he looks normal in the video. If anything as others have said it’s probably lighting or a tint issue with his phone. He doesn’t look pale or particularly gaunt.

Spoken like someone who probably has Lyme disease.

Yeah, it is some unfortunate thing with the lightning IMO, kind of makes his eyebrows vague which always makes one look off.

 

[tstracuzza]

Didn’t he switch to being a vegan?

He's not actually here to tell us he's a vegan

Have you seen always sunny in Philadelphia?

glenn howerton (Dennis) became vegan like halfway or 2/3 through the show... people who didn’t know about veganism thought he’d developed some illness or an addiction because of how his face looked different than before. More lean


People can give super lean (which is part of why some people do it)


Also looked up some pictures of Toews on the ice, he basically already had a thin face, those cheekbones sitting over/beyond his cheeks


He could be really sick regardless, but he might not have lost that much weight (and if he did could be for other reasons, not being active because he’s tired) and I agree with the above poster that the lighting is to a degree responsible for the paleness. Plus if he’s not being active + covid being around, it could be as simple that he’s not gone outside and tanned as much as he normally might for about a year now

Agreed.

Lyme disease has become the catch all for mysterious illnesses. It's hard to definitely prove so it seems to be a diagnoses made by "we don't know what else it is?"

Whatever it is, I hope they figure it out and he's on the road to recovery.

Why is it worth mention?

The guy's entire hockey career has been put on hold. You don't think they've taken a close look at the impact of his diet?

Chara and Athanasiou are also apparently vegan and somehow managed to play in the NHL.

Well played
