Jonathan Toews rejoined Chicago Blackhawks teammates for morning skate Tuesday at the United Center, his first time taking the ice since a Jan. 28 game against the Oilers in Edmonton.
“All that stuff has been nonexistent, really just go home and lay there and try and recover and get ready for the next day,” he said. “That’s all it’s really been.”Toews stopped short of saying definitively that he would retire after the Hawks’ last nine games, culminating with the season finale at home against the Philadelphia Flyers on April 13.
“It’s having some communication with him, how he’s feeling, when he’s ready, keeping communication with the medical staff to make sure it’s also a good idea for him to do that and that’s it,” Coach Luke Richardson said. “We’re just going to go day-by-day here. “It was a good thing to just continue to play through and knowing that you see light at the end of the tunnel as far as feeling somewhat normal again,” he said. “But it just got to a point where I wasn’t recovering and it was just progressively getting worse. And I was starting to get pretty alarmed that it was something I was clearly not getting to the bottom of it.”
“It’s just the immune-response thing that they talk about, just feeling completely inflamed,” Toews said. “Your whole body, you just feel miserable across the board. It’s not fun. And the mood is never great either.”“It’s not like a knee injury or shoulder injury where you lay under an MRI and your proof is right there,” he said. “It’s been kind of one of those complicated things even for me, it’s been really challenging at times to figure out what’s going on.
“I had to put myself first in that situation, try and get things right and go from there,” Toews said.
