Am I the only one reading this and thinking Toews' problem is pretty much between the ears?Charlie Roumeliotis wrote up the injury-relevant portions of Stan's appearance on Blackhawks Talk including updates on Dach, Seabrook and Toews. Blackhawks injury updates on Dach, Seabrook, Toews
On Toews:
And finally, there have been scary rumors swirling on social media about Jonathan Toews' health and Bowman dispelled those.
"His status is the same as it was the last time we spoke of it, but nothing has changed as far as all these crazy things you're hearing or speculating," Bowman said. "That's not the case. But I think the important thing that we've tried to communicate to Jonathan is that just take your time, take care of yourself, when you're ready, you're ready. We'd love to welcome him back whenever that is, but until that happens we're just going to let him ... he's on his own timeline.
"We're not trying to call him daily to ask him how he's feeling, I think it's better to let him ... we know how much he loves being the leader of the team and when he's ready, he's going to be back here. We're not going to have to pull him back. So until that happens, we wish him the best and we know he'll be back when he's ready."
That's reassuring to me that he has a path to feeling better. It certainly seems like they expect him to come back and it's not something career ending.
Nothing said of any kind of treatments or treatment plan. No diagnosis of any kind. No talk of any medical involvement at all.
I'm not saying it's nothing, it could well be depression. Or he could just be at a career crossroads.
