Hard to believe that Toews was actually (wrongfully) considered the best player in the world at one point and people would take him over Crosby
I never believed so, personally. Ovie, Crosby and Malkin were the defacto top 3 for me and the only reason they wouldnt be in particular seasons is only due to injury issues. Also I'm not sure I recall ever thinking Toews was better than Kane which already makes things difficult in a hunt for top 5 players in the league during those times.He definitely was something like #3-5 at one point though.
Don't forget about datsyukI never believed so, personally.

Oh, yes. I was a massive Datsyuk fan, great call. Going season by season there was also always a Kopitar, Thornton, Dats, Getzlaf etc etc to fight for top spots in the league and thats just mentioning the forwards. I guess i just was never a big believer Toews was at a level I thought to be top 5 even.Don't forget about datsyuk
He definitely was something like #3-5 at one point though.
not close. went ppg one season only,,,not the resume of a top 3 to 5 player. would be a travesty if he makes HHF. Do not use the intangibles excuse. Without Kane his stats would be worse still. Most overrated player in history of NHLHe definitely was something like #3-5 at one point though.
The irony is no need in this postToews denies ever hearing of Ovechkin. Useless poll.
Outside of a few morons that was never a serious discussionHard to believe that Toews was actually (wrongfully) considered the best player in the world at one point and people would take him over Crosby
Not even close.He definitely was something like #3-5 at one point though.
He never was this and the drive from Canadian media in this respect was hilarious. Doesn't mean he wasn't very good but he didn't produce anywhere close to what constitutes this level of player.He definitely was something like #3-5 at one point though.
Well that explains Ovi up at 70%Toews' point totals are irrelevant.
OV's regular season goals, *=goal

It's trendy to hate him now, but Toews was right up there with Sid for the best player in the world at his peak.Canadian media really loves their defensive, faceoff winning Canadian centers. Doesn't even have to be Canadian, look at Datsyuk. But Datsyuk was also incredible offensively an a highlight reel waiting to happen.
Who ever actually considered him the best player in the world?Hard to believe that Toews was actually (wrongfully) considered the best player in the world at one point and people would take him over Crosby

But, but intangibles!
