St. Louis Blues fan here …. Congrats and huge props to Jonathan for an unbelievable career in Chicago. During those Blues - Hawks matchups all those years you never wanted to see #19 on the ice. Jonathan is a sure first ballot Hall of Famer !! St. Louis Blues Nation salutes you Sir. Well done.
A very humble and classy person. Only a true leader would acknowledge the training staff who's been there longer than he's been alive. You can take the player out of Winnipeg but you can't take the Winnipeg out of the player. Congrats on a great career in Chicago, hope you can have a couple more healthy seasons.
As a fellow Winnipeger (not a jet fan tho lol) man I hope he comes home for 1 year and ends his career in his hometown. Wishing it took place at the deadline but hey. This send off is awesome
@@christyouredumb956 You mean the girl who produced a fake rape kit, had her attorney quit after saying he has no faith in his client and Patrick Kane was really a victim of a attack on his character? That one? Leave Towes out of this ya jealous nut job. Why not go achieve some success of your own instead of scouring the internet trying to take away from others successes lol. Must suck to be a loser like you.
It was truly amazing to watch Toews, Kane, and the rest of the group from the dynasty era. I haven’t agreed with the organization for a long time, and Kane and Toews were the last things connecting me to the Blackhawks. Hometown pride isn’t cutting it for me anymore, and I am leaving my fandom behind as these two legends move on. Best of luck to Toews, and thank you for an incredible ride in Chicago.
*greatest? He was the first one to run away when his teammates were in a fight…. His name was “captain quiet.” He literally did nothing to stand up for his team as a captain should.*

You are more then worthy of this. Been a pleasure watching you. I'm a flyers fan from Philadelphia and seeing this man grow through the years into the amazing player that he quickly became, was an honor. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Chicago. They were unstoppable during the cup playoffs against Philly. He got a very well deserved standing ovation here. Hope he does well entering into the second chapter of his life.
As a Red Wings fan you always found a way to tear us. What a career, and a great representation of the organization, the Midwest of hockey, and a great captain of the NHL.
Such a great rivalry our teams had. I’ll never forget those playoff games. Truly special. Good luck to the Canucks going forward you guys will win a cup eventually.
As a Winnipeg native, we'll miss you playing and thank you for representing Chicago and Winnipeg. Truly one of the greatest players of the last two decades.
*greatest? He was the first one to run away when his teammates were in a fight…. His name was “captain quiet.” He literally did nothing to stand up for his team as a captain should.*
I love how he pointed at the upper deck and said I love you all the way up there. Those working class folks who can’t afford season tickets and scrimp and save just to attend a few games a season. Those are true fans and they love their Captain.
As a Bruins Fan, It still warms my heart to see the Love and Respect these Chicago fans have for him. You don' have to like a certain team but you can always Respect a Great Player no matter what team they play for. A team is a Team, but Great Player is always deserving of appreciation and respect.
I was at his first game and the game against Colorado with the amazing move / goal. Truly sad to see both Kane and Toews are no longer Hawks, thanks for the three cups and bringing Chicago hockey back to the championship level. I hope the rebuild can reach the levels that you brought the team to, not sure that will be possible.
Thank you for everything 19 we love you and will miss seeing you out there. An end of an era and dynasty im so happy and honored I got to witness the greatness
This is the kind of player you can only truly understand why he is one of the best all time by watching him, and it’s so sad he went out the way he did with sickness and mediocrity. But either way, he is one of the greatest players the game has ever seen and I’m so glad I got to watch him lead a dynasty.
Hockey is now back in session i am watching the avalanche vs blackhawks game right now and it is different not seeing number 19 on the ice he was truly one of the greatest Captains to come across the nhl winning 3 stanley cups with the franchise he will be missed sincerely a Colorado Avalanche fan
As a Bruins fan It still gave me that dry lump in my throat. But i'm not crying I just started thinking how i'm gonna be when Marchand retires. Chicago is losing a Legend. Okay i'm crying now. ;)
He's my favorite captain of all time. I would have loved to play on his team with him. I wish he didn't have to be so hard on himself but I get it. You played your ass off man. We love ya forever.
It's going to be a sad day in the NHL when we lose latest like Jonathan Taves and Patrice Bergeron loyal selfless captains who are champions on and off the ice let's appreciate them and give them the send-off they deserve! Two of the best and as Bruins fan it was an honor facing you guys and couldn't of lost to a better captain and team thank you #19
Maybe it's a Montreal thing, but his standing ovation should have been at least 5 mins long. Toews is a great player, hope he finds a great home for his last few contracts to win one last cup.
I am Boston Bruins fan but I am a Blackhawks fan as well as for Jonathan Toews he was the best for Chicago Blackhawks and I want to say all the best to you.
I remember watching him being interviewed back in the beginning on home ice about the team making it to the playoff next season. How time has flown. Congrats on a great career!!!
I am a hawks fan but Kane and the Captain is gone it’s hard to still be a fan the organization has dismantled a team it’s going to take a lot to get back if they even do. Thank you Patrick and Johnathan for your hard work
Hard few years as a Hawks fan, but the last two especially hard. Kyle Beach coverup. Pat and Eddie and Kane and Toews gone. Gapski has been with the hawks my entire life (and a few extra years). Truly is the end of an era
As a Vancouver Canucks fan, I hated almost every Chicago Blackhawk EXCEPT for Jonathan Toews. Just the BEST EXAMPLE of what a CAPTAIN is!!! Thanks for the memories.
I donno, I’m an Avs fan but I thought this was kind of underwhelming? I just thought it should have been more epic cuz he deserves nothing less. I mean 3 cups and captain? Should have been more tributes from former players and stuff. But maybe they didn’t have enough time to put this together but I just think he deserved way more for a send off 🤷🏼
Captain Serious. Toews and Kane were the heart of this team for a very long time. Won 3 Stanley cups together. Great send off although it would have been awesome if they were playing the Rangers instead so Kane could be there too but still good nonetheless.
Great captain, great leader on and off the ice. As a life long Blackhawks fan and beer leagues goalie I'd play with this guy anytime anywhere. Jonathan, Kaner and Patrick Sharpie went to Northwestern Hospital to visit a young man that suffered a neck fracture. It wasn't just any kid but the son of one of our teammates. They heard about it and did what they have always done...showing up to lift his spirits when nobody was watching. Pat Foley and Edzo highlighted it during a game during a break. We were beaming with pride not only for our teammates family but for the Hawks leaders showing up. Class act 💯. Tip of the hockey helmet 🏒. O Captain my Captain
Toews excellent player and real captain of team, the leader on and off the ice. I Pens fan from Eastern Europe, but I with big pleasure watched how young BlackHawks team won 3 Cups. Wow! And I not able to imagine Toews in other hockey jersey, only Chicago! 👍 Best regards to Toews and to all BlackHawks fans. Unfortunately, every team go through difficult time for rebuild, refresh power and in future BlackHawks will be pretender to Cup again and hockey magic will repeat. Go Hawks!
True Story-About a week after Jonathan was drafted in 2006, His girlfriend and the girlfriend of Brett Lindros were on the Staten Island Ferry going from Manhattan to the Staten Island side. I heard them chitchatting about hockey, and I asked them who they were fans of. That’s when Johnathan’s girlfriend mentioned that she was a Blackhawk fan-because he was drafted by them last week. I mentioned that, hopefully him, and Patrick Kane could revive that franchise that had fallen on hard times. Watching this 8 minute video gave me chills. By the way, both ladies were super nice, young and pretty.
@You cannot be this stupid Thank you for correcting me. It was 2007 when I met the two ladies. Patrick Kane was drafted a week prior, and Johnathan was the year before in 2006. The rest of the story is true. I got my years confused. Patrick Kane was the first pick in that draft. You were right. It was 16 years ago. This is what happens when you get to my age-68-The mind, needed reminding-Lol. Have a great day.
@@alexisme147 oh my 🤦🏻♂️ tbh I can’t see him wearing another teams jersey. If in fact he does sign with another team, it’ll be quite awkward to see him rockin another teams emblem 🤷🏻♂️
It was quite a run during Toews' tenure wearing the C. He and that stout core of Kane, Keith, Sharp, Seabrook, Hossa, etc. took this this franchise to a place where they have never been before (dynasty). I am happy that Chicago got to enjoy this send off for their captain but I shake my head at the decision Bowman and the front office has made over the last 5- 6 years and maybe things would have been better in the long run had Hawks never beaten Edmonton in the play in (Damn you COVID) giving the franchise false hope that they could contend. This sadly might be the greatest thing for Hawk fans to see on the ice for the next 5-10 years. Hopefully it does not take them another 50 years or so to bring Lord Stanley back to the Windy City.

As a fellow blues fan I couldn’t agree more. The Toews Kane combo always had me on edge when they were on the ice
As a Hawks fan I love that Tarasenko and Kane are teammates now.
Yup like when kicked David Backes As* in a hockey fight? That’s a true captain defending his fellow teammates from scum, who play dirty 😂😂😂😂

Lifelong Chicagoan here, 55 yrs old. A lifelong Hawks fan. #19 I thank you so, so, soooo much. ✌️
I have to disagree with him. He IS worthy of this. And more.

fucking legend. love from canada...n vancouver
He looked every single one of his teammates in the eye as they dapped him up leaving the ice. Absolute class act and NYC’d love to have him...
Thank you for everything 19 we love you and will miss seeing you out there. An end of an era and dynasty im so happy and honored I got to witness the greatness
I’m gonna miss him thank you captain for everything you did for the team
Toews terrorized the Canucks in the late 2000s and early 2010, but class act will always respect this dude lol

Toews is the King of Chicago Hockey
Kane his mighty bishop
and oh, what an empire they ruled
So true
Duncan Keith must have been a General then?
@@mrconfusion87 General isn't a chess piece
Duncan was a Rook
Seabrook was a Knight
Hossa was a pawn since he wasn't a Blackhawk from the beginning
pretty cool that the Flyers stuck around to watch this and show support
In one calendar year 2010, this guy was awarded a gold medal....top forward....Stanley Cup..and Conn Smythe...Hows THAT for a year?!!!
He's my favorite captain of all time. I would have loved to play on his team with him. I wish he didn't have to be so hard on himself but I get it. You played your ass off man. We love ya forever.
Sucks to see him have to step away like this :/ hope he’s able to come back sometime and if not hope he is happy 😭❤️
A Chicago Legend thank you for everything you gave us fans
We will never have another Captain like Toews!!! Kaner and Toews were thee best!!! Thank you!
The most important part of the team, the captain, the engine
Deserves more and to be in the hall of fame
I hope he’s doing ok and is getting healthier, we miss you in Chicago
Hawks fan all the way here from Upstate NY what a Career Toes has had
It's going to be a sad day in the NHL when we lose latest like Jonathan Taves and Patrice Bergeron loyal selfless captains who are champions on and off the ice let's appreciate them and give them the send-off they deserve! Two of the best and as Bruins fan it was an honor facing you guys and couldn't of lost to a better captain and team thank you #19
Crosby won’t be too far behind. Crazy how old this makes me feel
Amazing career. Glad I got to watch all of it and blackhawks were dangerous in those early 2010's
A true leader, a true hero. The best inspiration anyone could ever ask for. We truly didnt deserve toews
man i miss this guy.
A classy player
First ballot HOF no question! If this is the end was a great one! Would be hard to see him in another jersey.
Legend. Class. Amazing
Maybe it's a Montreal thing, but his standing ovation should have been at least 5 mins long. Toews is a great player, hope he finds a great home for his last few contracts to win one last cup.
Thank You Johnathan Toews
Quel leader et gentilhomme, bravo

There are very few guys with as much class, heart and grit as Johnathan Toews. I am a Detroit Redwings fan and we had Yzerman, Chicago has Toews.
End of a seriously wicked era.

He has a spot on the Mount Rushmore of Chicago sports legends along with Payton, Sandberg, and Jordan.
You bet
