I am not agreeing or disagreeing on Toews at this point, 27 is awfully young to regress, yet, seems that most games I watch he takes a shot or two that would put me out for a month. The one when they opened the door while he being checked in the boards. Oww, I am not walking after that, he took a break and played the next period.
Was thinking about when that all catches up with him, didnt think it would be now. Hope it wont be now.
What might go down as Kane's greatest skill above his shooting and playmaking is that he's
really hard to hit. He's a slippery little shit out there; guys who lock in on hitting him will be made to look foolish. I can't remember a player as elusive as Kane, which made last year's season-ender from that one Panther that much harder to deal with. Toews, having defensive assignments that Kane does not have, has had so much more contact over the years, and yeah, that's already adding up. My suspicion is that concussions and sub-concussive head trauma have taken the biggest toll on him. I just don't think he can see the game at the same level anymore.
