I still think Kings are missing one more solid D-man but they can still pull it off with the current team if they play with that edge everybody keeps talking about because of missing the playoffs.
Can we hire the hockey commentary guys who narrated this video for every one of Toews goals for the Hawks? This gave me chills. Sick moves, dangles toe drags dekes and scores while going through four avalanche players. "This is the kind of player who can bring a franchise back from the dead" Eight years later the Hawks are a dynasty and won three cups.
+bonesey goldflaber To have three cups in six years in the cap era, when the league is closer than ever before, with all this parity between teams, is a dynasty. You're fucking delusional if you don't think this is a dynasty, bud.
+Cody Sawler lmfao the hawks are not a dynasty. dynasties dont take years off, and get embarrassed in the 1st round, the last 90's red wings, THAT was a dynasty, the late 90s yankees, those were dynasties, your team, is not. its laughable youd even think you deserve to be put in the category of a red wings dynasty in the 90s, are you better now? sure, but no way in hell do you even compare to what they did.

Watching this and seeing shots of the fans with barely any of them wearing any jerseys or any merchandise whatsoever, and watching the games now, you bet your ass they turned that franchise around.
Derrick Ruyter We've been spoiled rotten like all hell with hockey like this. Some don't know how lucky we are to be living in the same era where this is happening, cause eventually we'll be seeing guys like Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith, Marian Hossa, and Patrick Kane talk in the hall of fame.
+Carey Price? Doesn't have a ring to it Yeah, such a beast. Only thing that might keep it from happening is that he spent a lot of his career elsewhere. Shouldn't matter though
+Carey Price? Doesn't have a ring to it Toews, Kane, and Hossa are for sure going to the hall of fame imo. Keith is questionable, since his early years were kind of quiet. Still an amazing defenceman though.
nick edwards i hate when people say that! it's because the owner finally passed...i was at the first game after he died, and it was more crowded than i've ever seen it. once the games got televised, is when we came back. just so happened that we were also good that year!
I was at the game to. It was so crowded because it was the home opener and it was against Detroit. Lots of Detroit fans were there. The next home games were all dead. The fans did come back during this season though. They didn't make the playoffs, but you could tell that ownership was trying to turn things around. That got the attention of a lot of people, and the fans started to come back.

One of my favourite goals simply because of the undeniable raw skill on display. Looking at Crosby's highlights you see some even more unbelievable plays, but there's obviously a bit more luck to some of them. This play to me screams talent. Not saying he's better than Crosby or Ovie, but god damn that looked like a set play. Like he got off the bench ready to make that deke(s). Holy Jesus.
Nash's goal ABSOLUTELY > this one. Not to downplay Toews, but let's be serious here. Nash was skating about as fast as a pylon and still managed to make the Coyote players look stupid, he was competent enough to get the puck BACK by kicking it up to his stick, AND it was at a much more clutch point.
Also, It doesnt matter what team you support in hockey, yeah theres arguements over teams, players, etc. But all hockey fans bond together over great goals. Which just gives another reason why its the greatest sport on the planet.
that last move is unbelievable. hmm.. rick nash's goal is pretty comparable. both just sick tho. ovechkin's was a hell of a shot. none better, but for jakes and jukes.. i'll take toews or nash. both incredible.
almost you can if you know your hockey, sakic tore chit up b4, and in winnipeg we had to watch out for Emd, and we had a killer _/ets team of scoring power, WE knew who sakic was in Quebec.
I remember, my brother was a goalie in the AAA All-Stars competition, and every time Toews would come down for a breakaway he couldnt score on my brother.
this year unfortunitly toews is not gettin it. atleast not yet.but the rest of the team is pickin up his slack right now thats a good sign in some ways. also I didn't really explain myself very well on my first commentI see what your sayin about last year and stuff. and I was in an arguemnt with another guy when you piped up and I thought u were startin shit. I over reacted. thanks for being the bigger man bro. blackhawks will prevail,believe.
I stand by my original statement, I'd have put him on his back. Too many defenseman nowadays don't play the man like they should and go fishing with their sticks. I do not. Don't pretend like you have any idea about my skill level either, because all it does it make you sound stupid. And interference? For a good clean check while he has the puck? I don't think so...
One of the best goal calls of all time, also notice how when they mention the franchise coming back from the dead, Kane is the player who passed it to him too
lol " WHAT A MOVVEe!!! OH..MYYY..GOODNESS!! OH MAN OH MAN! " lol XD . however he says thats the kind of talent that brings a franchise back from dead. jonathan "taves" is only one guy,he can only do so much.he's not gunna ressurect the blackhawks by himself. I think that one guy just shit himself and was speechless.
It's pronounced "taves" yea I dont get it but my last name is Lulgjuraj so I should'nt talk.. and thats not bad defense just rediculouslly good offense, too much speed and skill the one defenseman on the rightwing defenseman got burned because Toews was coming in so fast and he kinda messed up
@capncabe2003 Being an Avalanche fan, I think they're (Peter McNabb and Mike Haynes) some of the greatest commentators in sports. They both love hockey with a passion, and are some of the most unbiased commentators for being on a 1-team network.
and the backchecking forward was too far away to do anything and the left defenseman was cutting offthe pass across he did his job... 2nd best goal I can recall #1 Ovechkin when he scored from lying on his back and hooked it behind his head.
If Toews is your favorite player and you can so easily dismiss him as the best all-around player right now, then you know absolutely nothing about hockey. As much as I respect Crosby & Ovechkin, I would have to say that Toews, Datsyuk, & Bergeron are my top 3 all-around players. All 3 have a Selke Trophy, although Datsyuk has 3. All 3 have a Stanley Cup, but Toews and Datsyuk have 2 each. Toews has a Conn Smythe, but Datsyuk and Bergeron each have a Plus-Minus Award. No Hart trophies for any tho
Ok I'm not gonna deny that this was a great goal, and that was a sick move, and Johnny toews is a fucking beast, but I do have one problem with this. If you notice inthe video, once toews is around the first defender and he's in the middle of 3, he has a clear cut path to the net. Instead of making a move he could have just turned and headed straight up the middle. But he did a awesome move(if slightly pointless)
@thedudes1415 No it wasn't...Nash's goal was choppy....this one was one smooth motion....Ovie's goal against Phx is probably the goal of the post lockout era, this one is #2 by a large margin.....we've seen inside out moves before...i've never seen a player drag the puck to himself and fool the defencemen and goalie at the same time...and again, one smooth solid motion...we'll see Nash's goal again, we'll never see this again
@argo987 back to what I was saying Kane got checked a wierd way on the boards and his leg was bent. No matter what type of player you are that has to hurt. You have to have that same mentality for every player in the NHL. Look at Crosby, he got a concusion and has been out for a strech of games. Look at that team without him. Kane has the jump back in his step now and has put 7 points up in 5 games. Toews was also injured, guessed to be out for 2 weeks. He came back in 2 games. That's tough.
@argo987 yes, I did say they are one of the most stacked team in the league and I'm not just saying shit to say shit. I actually meen this because I've been saying this the whole time they havn't hit their prime yet and I'll keep saying that. Also, about what you said that if they're not healthy now haw do you think they'll ever be health. Well, you have to lookat Kane's injury: He got checked a wierd way where his leg was bent the wrong way on the boards. (I'll have to wright another comment)
@argo987 I never think that they are the best players in the league. But they have the potentional of being one of the best. Right now Kane has about 34 points and is finally getting back into his groove and Toews has around 36 points and is getting to the net alot more and using his moves. If you look at the league stats they're about 30th but the point race is soooo tight you wouldn't beleive. The 18th best scorer has only 41 points. Both of them (if they stay heathy) can get back in the race.
@argo987 you're kinda right but Crosby was put into a little better franchise and so was Ovi and Stamkos already had Vincient L. and St. Loise. Toews and Kane were brought into a franchise that had to start from nothing. And look what those two + help have done for Chicago. I've met people who said those 2 and the Hawks could possibly be a dynasty but that's a little ify. If they can put themselves in the right possition for the post-season they CAN win another one but it's gonna take effort.
@argo987 it's good to throw all the facts in the mix because facts don't lie. He was also voted the best player on team Canada. CANADA. If you're voted for that you're pretty damn good. How do you think he doesn't have a feel for the game. He's more of a play-maker, he doesn't shoot as much as a player like Kane who is a little more of a sniper. Howare you a fan of the Hawks but still hate these guys. They gave us a Cup after wauting 49 years.
@argo987 if they're so bad then why are Kane, Toews, Sharp, and Keith in the All-Star game. Also, +/- doesn't always matter, as long as you win your games your good. There's a handfull of great players in the NHL that have an ify +/-. Toews will get alot more points later on in his career. He's only 22 and this is his 4th season. He's not even close to his prime and neither is Kane. I'm not trying to base it off of awards I'm just trying to show what they've acomplished so quickley.
@argo987 really, last time I checked they had 6 players in the winter olympics. Jonathan Toews-Conn Smyth winner, gold metal Patrick Kane- Calder Trophey winner, silver metal Marian Hossa- 4th place in the plympics Brent Seabrook-Gold metal Duncan Keith- Defenseman of the year(I forgot what the trophey is called), Gold metal Thomas Kopecky- 4th place in the olympis Patrick Sharp-3rd in the league in goals All of these players are in the allstar game except Tomas Kopecky. Get a life.
not just nashville... florida, tampa,dallas and atlanta dont get very much cold weather/ice... bothers me that cities get hockey were its hot all year around while other cities up north are more deserving...gary bettman needs to get his head out of his ass and market where they CARE about the sport... not just a city where u get the MAJORITY(not all) fans that come see a game once a year.
You guys need to lower the stupid gene.I am a life long Hawk fan. Tazer is a God send. From Winnipeg.Who cares what country he comes from. I would love Ovie if he played for the Hawk. Sid is the best player and he should be MVP' Tazer is better defensely.I as an American thank all Canadians for all the wonderful humans that play for us.You all should be very proud.Also thanks for training atleast half our gold medal JR team. True north strong free.
Ovy is at least as popular as Cros. They are just such different players that they can't be compared. Ovy is flash and finish while Sidney is one of the most amazing play makers in the game. If they by some miracle ever ended up playing on the same line... WOOOOO! They preference for one or the other lies in the style of the particular fan and has nothing to do with international boundaries. I can see where your argument is coming from though.
okay fair enough with the oh mans and what not, but the shit they talk about afterward is just stupid. "that was one of the great...scores?" you mean goals? "you got crosby in Pittsburgh....("duh i'm too dumb to know the names of any other young talented players in the league besides crosby so i guess i'll just say him then") you got this kid... c'mon these guys don't even know what they're talking about. Joe Bowen and Greg Millen, they are commentators.
Nash pulled the same basic inside-outside deke that the Coyotes defenders were too inept to defend against. Toews took on 3 guys (plus had to actually put a move on the goalie) with a series of far more complex dekes: threw a few nice lateral dekes and then pulled off the most ridiculous vertical toe drag I think I've ever seen. Nash looked a bit lethargic compared to Toews. Didn't come with 20sec to win it though.
Everyone who say the last defender was just standing still does not really understand. The play had become a 2 on 1 . The defence is supposed to stay in the middle and take away the pass . No defenceman could have reacted back to Toews after it become apparent he was not going to pass to the winger. Toews was just too fast. You simply don't see that kind of stick speed . In the World Jr.s, Canada sent him out 3 times in one shootout- and he scored each time. Skills and nerves of steel.
@ spartans1919 first off : lol, you must be about 12 years old, insulting someone on a video on youtube. secondly : Had Toews been coming down on ME (and I play defense), he would have been flat on his back, NO QUESTION.
thats pathetic lmao... i thought it was gunna turn into a joke :P oh well.. I guess there will be a clown in my bedroom tonight... but thats okay I don't go to sleep until about 5am so.... I guess I'll miss him
no such thing as luck buddy, its called Hard Work and Opportunity. If he hadn't tried he wouldn't have scored. He had to have felt the puck on his stick to move it, but yes it was a very low percentage of actually happening.
toews is definatly one of, if not, the best player all around player in the nhl..i mean, hes an olymic gold medalist, he was named most valuable foward in the olympics, hes a stanley cup champion, and won the conn smyth trophy.. now players like crosby may have more skill, but toews has more heart...so glad hes stayin in chicago for a while....GO HAWKS!!!!
i said it was a nice goal. but the announcers cream themselves when he does it. the defensman was wayy over to the right of the goalie so the toedrag wasnt even necessary and then the goalie played it like he wasnt even trying and came out so far. its like they let him do it on purpose they were all standing around
I'm not pretending, I know for a fact your not NHL material. The left D-man did try to play to play the body. What happened? He got burned, do you have any clue how fast Toews is? And yes it would be interference. Your only chance to hit him would have been two feet from the net which means penalty and penalty shot.
the first d-man tried (you see him miss with the "cross check" motion). Toews was just too quick and was able to side step him towards the inside. The 2nd d-man was defending the pass to the streaking blackhawk on the other side of Toews and tried the "poke check" at the last second, leaving Theodore to play Toews one on one. Pure talent and athletism won out on this play.
The Canadian BlackHawks But we can't truely b the Canadian Blackhawks without Patrick "cab beater/midget" Kane on that team and Dustin Byfuglien. Trade Kane for Evander Kane he's Canadian, trade Byfuglien for Ryan Clowe another good ole CANADIAN, does his job but with more offense. CANADA, canada, CANDA, canada, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Habs fan here, Detroit still has an awesome team. i wish we had Zetterberg,Datsyuk,Franzen,Lidstrom ect. I'm confident you guys will prevail...Detroit is the model to follow in the NHL and I don't think that'll change just like that. Your draft history is too good and that's what it's all about in the new NHL.
Stop hatin man. We kicked your butts the whole year. Don't try to front us off like our team is crap. If our team was healthy, we would've been right there with you guys in the playoffs and probably had a good chance of beaten you. Don't front seriously. Toews and Kane are the truth dawg. Peace. Go Blackhawks!
Ovechkin's goal isn't anywhere close to this in terms of skill and highlight quality. Toews stickhandles beautifully through the defense at top speed with ridiculous precision. Ovechkin is kind of floating, goes to the backhand, falls down and manages to get off a week shot into an open net. No comparison...
@jkmille1 the hawks didnt have home tv announcers till the 08-09 season. we (hawks fans) could only find out about the game via radio until then. so i guess the only way to watch home games on tv was from the visiting team's broadcast team. we got lucky here :P
More like the Winnipeg BlackHawks. Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith, Cam Barker and Patrick Sharp all hail from Winnipeg Manitoba, pretty cool. CANADIAN BLACKHAWKS..................(with unfortunately 2 mistakes on there sadly, maybe that'll change someday :( )
Great goal. You Blackhawk fans are embarrassing, though...Jumping on the bandwagon pretty bad now that you have a good young team. Where were you when you sucked for the last 10+ years? I'm a Kings fan, and still attend about 10 games a year. (which is a lot for my budget).
didnt say we had either last year i was just pointing out that while toews is a sick player, hes not all we have hell he wasnt even rookie of the year last year even thou he would've if not due to injury chill down i dont pick fights with my blackhawks brethren
dude chicago had an amazing season. they have some young talent. im a bruins fan but im also a blackhawks supporter. much like the bruins they were full of young talent, and much like the bruins..i believe the blackhawks will come back bigger and better than last season
I was at this game, 13 rows off the ice looking right at this play. The video doesn't even begin to show how slick that play was...simply amazing. He better stay in Chicago for a very long time, of course with his pal, lil' Patty Kane. I'm getting season tickets this year.
not to make little of it, cause its a FANTASTIC goal and this kid is gonna be a star... Nobody played the body on that. an its probably because of all the penalties being called on defense now. i'm not a hawks fan but i'm glad to see they finally got something to cheer about.
How can even compare toews to a goaltender like fleury, or an under performer like Kennedy? Fleury is a good goalie but it's not even possible to clare a forward to a goalie Seriously
@JM22292 If you don't think Datsyuk dangles, then you don't watch the Red Wings. I'm an Avs fan and whenever he plays against us he almost always dangles. How is Toews better at dangling?
@JM22292 Hundreds of times. I'm not even a Red Wings fan, and he can walk circles around pretty much anyone. He's easily the best dangler in the NHL, no matter what you favor.
R.I.P Peter McNabb this is the call in my memory of him that stood out the most not even being a homer just giving credit where it was due true Legend.
Last week, the Hawks signed Norway's Mathis Olimb a 1 year contract. This will be his first NHL season. Does anyone think he'll play well, he is playing with the Stanley Cup DEf Champions.

+Carey Price? Doesn't have a ring to it Yeah, such a beast. Only thing that might keep it from happening is that he spent a lot of his career elsewhere. Shouldn't matter though
+Carey Price? Doesn't have a ring to it Toews, Kane, and Hossa are for sure going to the hall of fame imo. Keith is questionable, since his early years were kind of quiet. Still an amazing defenceman though.
my reaction after watching this goal ''HOLY CRAP THAT IS AWESOME''
And so the bandwagon began...
nick edwards lol why u so salty
nick edwards i hate when people say that! it's because the owner finally passed...i was at the first game after he died, and it was more crowded than i've ever seen it. once the games got televised, is when we came back. just so happened that we were also good that year!
nick edwards After a goal like that i'd jump on that bandwagon!
I was at the game to. It was so crowded because it was the home opener and it was against Detroit. Lots of Detroit fans were there. The next home games were all dead. The fans did come back during this season though. They didn't make the playoffs, but you could tell that ownership was trying to turn things around. That got the attention of a lot of people, and the fans started to come back.
we played minnesota the first game
UNREAL move, Toews you should do this more often. #GoHawks
Gulo
Crosby is a far superior player to Toews.
Leadership: Toews
Faceoffs: Toews
Penalty Killing: Toews
Discipline- Toews
Poise- Toews
Stick Checking- Toews

Playmaking- Crosby
Agility- Crosby
Goal Scoring- Crosby
Hand Eye- Crosby
Body Balance- Crosby
Endurance- Crosby
Speed- Crosby
Execution- Crosby
Skill- Crosby
Power- Crosby
Puck Control- Crosby
Sidney Crosby makes line mates Conor Sheary and Jake Guentzel better. Toews needs extremely talented players like Marian Hossa, Brandon Saad and Patrick Sharp to improve his game. That’s the difference.
I like how these are Avalanche announcers and they are still amazed. One of the best goals I ever seen.
One of my favourite goals simply because of the undeniable raw skill on display. Looking at Crosby's highlights you see some even more unbelievable plays, but there's obviously a bit more luck to some of them.
This play to me screams talent. Not saying he's better than Crosby or Ovie, but god damn that looked like a set play. Like he got off the bench ready to make that deke(s). Holy Jesus.
thhanks for the gold medal
Thanks for everything, Captain, you’re a legend
love the commentators reactions haha!
such an AMAZING GOAL :)
@DANGLEthenSNIP3 Gotta love Mike Lange
Yep
This goal was one of the best goals i've seen in my life. It is one of the top 20 goals in hockey of all time.
Damn! Even the Avs announcers were impressed! Had you not known, you may have thought they were calling the game for the Hawks!
Thank you Toews for everything 😢❤️
best fucking video on youtube... best call.. best player... best team.. best sport.
Nash's goal ABSOLUTELY > this one. Not to downplay Toews, but let's be serious here. Nash was skating about as fast as a pylon and still managed to make the Coyote players look stupid, he was competent enough to get the puck BACK by kicking it up to his stick, AND it was at a much more clutch point.
this is INSANE...he undressed that entire team
@@michaelfusmusic9447 bro nobody cares
This guy is amazing, hes going to lead this team for many years to come
for real
Also, It doesnt matter what team you support in hockey, yeah theres arguements over teams, players, etc. But all hockey fans bond together over great goals. Which just gives another reason why its the greatest sport on the planet.
that last move is unbelievable. hmm.. rick nash's goal is pretty comparable. both just sick tho.
ovechkin's was a hell of a shot. none better, but for jakes and jukes.. i'll take toews or nash. both incredible.
almost you can if you know your hockey, sakic tore chit up b4, and in winnipeg we had to watch out for Emd, and we had a killer _/ets team of scoring power, WE knew who sakic was in Quebec.
Jonathan Toews, one of the best NHL players of all time!
Did anyone notice that the goal siren went really late? probably cause the guy that does it was in shock from the insane dangles like everyone else.
I remember, my brother was a goalie in the AAA All-Stars competition, and every time Toews would come down for a breakaway he couldnt score on my brother.
Never gets old
And that's coming from the Av's announcers. How often do you hear something like that after the other team just scored on your team?
Unless the team you like is Pittsburgh, I'd shut your face, because no team right now is better than the Pens and Wings
You got Crosby in Pittsburgh...u got this guy....would take "this guy"any day of the week
Is that so? Then check out Toews's goal against Detroit just last month, 12 06 2008 J Toews Nice Goal vs Detroit.
this year unfortunitly toews is not gettin it. atleast not yet.but the rest of the team is pickin up his slack right now thats a good sign in some ways. also I didn't really explain myself very well on my first commentI see what your sayin about last year and stuff. and I was in an arguemnt with another guy when you piped up and I thought u were startin shit. I over reacted. thanks for being the bigger man bro.
blackhawks will prevail,believe.
I stand by my original statement, I'd have put him on his back. Too many defenseman nowadays don't play the man like they should and go fishing with their sticks.
I do not.
Don't pretend like you have any idea about my skill level either, because all it does it make you sound stupid.
And interference? For a good clean check while he has the puck? I don't think so...
One of the best goal calls of all time, also notice how when they mention the franchise coming back from the dead, Kane is the player who passed it to him too
lol " WHAT A MOVVEe!!! OH..MYYY..GOODNESS!! OH MAN OH MAN! " lol XD . however he says thats the kind of talent that brings a franchise back from dead. jonathan "taves" is only one guy,he can only do so much.he's not gunna ressurect the blackhawks by himself. I think that one guy just shit himself and was speechless.
It's pronounced "taves" yea I dont get it but my last name is Lulgjuraj so I should'nt talk.. and thats not bad defense just rediculouslly good offense, too much speed and skill the one defenseman on the rightwing defenseman got burned because Toews was coming in so fast and he kinda messed up
@capncabe2003 Being an Avalanche fan, I think they're (Peter McNabb and Mike Haynes) some of the greatest commentators in sports. They both love hockey with a passion, and are some of the most unbiased commentators for being on a 1-team network.
and the backchecking forward was too far away to do anything and the left defenseman was cutting offthe pass across he did his job...
2nd best goal I can recall #1 Ovechkin when he scored from lying on his back and hooked it behind his head.
If Toews is your favorite player and you can so easily dismiss him as the best all-around player right now, then you know absolutely nothing about hockey. As much as I respect Crosby & Ovechkin, I would have to say that Toews, Datsyuk, & Bergeron are my top 3 all-around players. All 3 have a Selke Trophy, although Datsyuk has 3. All 3 have a Stanley Cup, but Toews and Datsyuk have 2 each. Toews has a Conn Smythe, but Datsyuk and Bergeron each have a Plus-Minus Award. No Hart trophies for any tho
Ok I'm not gonna deny that this was a great goal, and that was a sick move, and Johnny toews is a fucking beast, but I do have one problem with this. If you notice inthe video, once toews is around the first defender and he's in the middle of 3, he has a clear cut path to the net. Instead of making a move he could have just turned and headed straight up the middle. But he did a awesome move(if slightly pointless)
@thedudes1415 No it wasn't...Nash's goal was choppy....this one was one smooth motion....Ovie's goal against Phx is probably the goal of the post lockout era, this one is #2 by a large margin.....we've seen inside out moves before...i've never seen a player drag the puck to himself and fool the defencemen and goalie at the same time...and again, one smooth solid motion...we'll see Nash's goal again, we'll never see this again
@argo987 back to what I was saying Kane got checked a wierd way on the boards and his leg was bent. No matter what type of player you are that has to hurt. You have to have that same mentality for every player in the NHL. Look at Crosby, he got a concusion and has been out for a strech of games. Look at that team without him. Kane has the jump back in his step now and has put 7 points up in 5 games. Toews was also injured, guessed to be out for 2 weeks. He came back in 2 games. That's tough.
@argo987 yes, I did say they are one of the most stacked team in the league and I'm not just saying shit to say shit. I actually meen this because I've been saying this the whole time they havn't hit their prime yet and I'll keep saying that. Also, about what you said that if they're not healthy now haw do you think they'll ever be health. Well, you have to lookat Kane's injury: He got checked a wierd way where his leg was bent the wrong way on the boards. (I'll have to wright another comment)
@argo987 I never think that they are the best players in the league. But they have the potentional of being one of the best. Right now Kane has about 34 points and is finally getting back into his groove and Toews has around 36 points and is getting to the net alot more and using his moves. If you look at the league stats they're about 30th but the point race is soooo tight you wouldn't beleive. The 18th best scorer has only 41 points. Both of them (if they stay heathy) can get back in the race.
@argo987 you're kinda right but Crosby was put into a little better franchise and so was Ovi and Stamkos already had Vincient L. and St. Loise. Toews and Kane were brought into a franchise that had to start from nothing. And look what those two + help have done for Chicago. I've met people who said those 2 and the Hawks could possibly be a dynasty but that's a little ify. If they can put themselves in the right possition for the post-season they CAN win another one but it's gonna take effort.
@argo987 it's good to throw all the facts in the mix because facts don't lie. He was also voted the best player on team Canada. CANADA. If you're voted for that you're pretty damn good. How do you think he doesn't have a feel for the game. He's more of a play-maker, he doesn't shoot as much as a player like Kane who is a little more of a sniper. Howare you a fan of the Hawks but still hate these guys. They gave us a Cup after wauting 49 years.
@argo987 if they're so bad then why are Kane, Toews, Sharp, and Keith in the All-Star game. Also, +/- doesn't always matter, as long as you win your games your good. There's a handfull of great players in the NHL that have an ify +/-. Toews will get alot more points later on in his career. He's only 22 and this is his 4th season. He's not even close to his prime and neither is Kane. I'm not trying to base it off of awards I'm just trying to show what they've acomplished so quickley.
@argo987 really, last time I checked they had 6 players in the winter olympics.
Jonathan Toews-Conn Smyth winner, gold metal
Patrick Kane- Calder Trophey winner, silver metal
Marian Hossa- 4th place in the plympics
Brent Seabrook-Gold metal
Duncan Keith- Defenseman of the year(I forgot what the trophey is called), Gold metal
Thomas Kopecky- 4th place in the olympis
Patrick Sharp-3rd in the league in goals
All of these players are in the allstar game except Tomas Kopecky.
Get a life.
not just nashville... florida, tampa,dallas and atlanta dont get very much cold weather/ice... bothers me that cities get hockey were its hot all year around while other cities up north are more deserving...gary bettman needs to get his head out of his ass and market where they CARE about the sport... not just a city where u get the MAJORITY(not all) fans that come see a game once a year.
You guys need to lower the stupid gene.I am a life long Hawk fan. Tazer is a God send. From Winnipeg.Who cares what country he comes from. I would love Ovie if he played for the Hawk. Sid is the best player and he should be MVP' Tazer is better defensely.I as an American thank all Canadians for all the wonderful humans that play for us.You all should be very proud.Also thanks for training atleast half our gold medal JR team. True north strong free.
Ovy is at least as popular as Cros. They are just such different players that they can't be compared. Ovy is flash and finish while Sidney is one of the most amazing play makers in the game. If they by some miracle ever ended up playing on the same line... WOOOOO! They preference for one or the other lies in the style of the particular fan and has nothing to do with international boundaries. I can see where your argument is coming from though.
okay fair enough with the oh mans and what not, but the shit they talk about afterward is just stupid. "that was one of the great...scores?" you mean goals?
"you got crosby in Pittsburgh....("duh i'm too dumb to know the names of any other young talented players in the league besides crosby so i guess i'll just say him then") you got this kid... c'mon these guys don't even know what they're talking about. Joe Bowen and Greg Millen, they are commentators.
Nash pulled the same basic inside-outside deke that the Coyotes defenders were too inept to defend against. Toews took on 3 guys (plus had to actually put a move on the goalie) with a series of far more complex dekes: threw a few nice lateral dekes and then pulled off the most ridiculous vertical toe drag I think I've ever seen. Nash looked a bit lethargic compared to Toews. Didn't come with 20sec to win it though.
Everyone who say the last defender was just standing still does not really understand. The play had become a 2 on 1 . The defence is supposed to stay in the middle and take away the pass .
No defenceman could have reacted back to Toews after it become apparent he was not going to pass to the winger.
Toews was just too fast. You simply don't see that kind of stick speed .
In the World Jr.s, Canada sent him out 3
times in one shootout- and he scored each time.
Skills and nerves of steel.
@ spartans1919
first off : lol, you must be about 12 years old, insulting someone on a video on youtube.
secondly : Had Toews been coming down on ME (and I play defense), he would have been flat on his back, NO QUESTION.
thats pathetic lmao... i thought it was gunna turn into a joke :P oh well.. I guess there will be a clown in my bedroom tonight... but thats okay I don't go to sleep until about 5am so.... I guess I'll miss him
no such thing as luck buddy, its called Hard Work and Opportunity. If he hadn't tried he wouldn't have scored. He had to have felt the puck on his stick to move it, but yes it was a very low percentage of actually happening.
toews is definatly one of, if not, the best player all around player in the nhl..i mean, hes an olymic gold medalist, he was named most valuable foward in the olympics, hes a stanley cup champion, and won the conn smyth trophy.. now players like crosby may have more skill, but toews has more heart...so glad hes stayin in chicago for a while....GO HAWKS!!!!
i said it was a nice goal. but the announcers cream themselves when he does it. the defensman was wayy over to the right of the goalie so the toedrag wasnt even necessary and then the goalie played it like he wasnt even trying and came out so far. its like they let him do it on purpose they were all standing around
I'm not pretending, I know for a fact your not NHL material. The left D-man did try to play to play the body. What happened? He got burned, do you have any clue how fast Toews is?
And yes it would be interference. Your only chance to hit him would have been two feet from the net which means penalty and penalty shot.
the first d-man tried (you see him miss with the "cross check" motion). Toews was just too quick and was able to side step him towards the inside. The 2nd d-man was defending the pass to the streaking blackhawk on the other side of Toews and tried the "poke check" at the last second, leaving Theodore to play Toews one on one. Pure talent and athletism won out on this play.
The Canadian BlackHawks
But we can't truely b the Canadian Blackhawks without Patrick "cab beater/midget" Kane on that team and Dustin Byfuglien.
Trade Kane for Evander Kane he's Canadian, trade Byfuglien for Ryan Clowe another good ole CANADIAN, does his job but with more offense.
CANADA, canada, CANDA, canada, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Habs fan here, Detroit still has an awesome team. i wish we had Zetterberg,Datsyuk,Franzen,Lidstrom ect.
I'm confident you guys will prevail...Detroit is the model to follow in the NHL and I don't think that'll change just like that. Your draft history is too good and that's what it's all about in the new NHL.
Stop hatin man. We kicked your butts the whole year. Don't try to front us off like our team is crap. If our team was healthy, we would've been right there with you guys in the playoffs and probably had a good chance of beaten you. Don't front seriously. Toews and Kane are the truth dawg. Peace. Go Blackhawks!
Ovechkin's goal isn't anywhere close to this in terms of skill and highlight quality. Toews stickhandles beautifully through the defense at top speed with ridiculous precision. Ovechkin is kind of floating, goes to the backhand, falls down and manages to get off a week shot into an open net. No comparison...
The announcers are creaming their pants @ 0:09 and rightly so... That dangle / goal sure is a beauty.
@jkmille1 the hawks didnt have home tv announcers till the 08-09 season. we (hawks fans) could only find out about the game via radio until then. so i guess the only way to watch home games on tv was from the visiting team's broadcast team. we got lucky here :P
More like the Winnipeg BlackHawks.
Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith, Cam Barker and Patrick Sharp all hail from Winnipeg Manitoba, pretty cool.
CANADIAN BLACKHAWKS..................(with unfortunately 2 mistakes on there sadly, maybe that'll change someday :( )
Great goal. You Blackhawk fans are embarrassing, though...Jumping on the bandwagon pretty bad now that you have a good young team. Where were you when you sucked for the last 10+ years? I'm a Kings fan, and still attend about 10 games a year. (which is a lot for my budget).
didnt say we had either last year i was just pointing out that while toews is a sick player, hes not all we have hell he wasnt even rookie of the year last year even thou he would've if not due to injury chill down i dont pick fights with my blackhawks brethren
dude chicago had an amazing season. they have some young talent. im a bruins fan but im also a blackhawks supporter. much like the bruins they were full of young talent, and much like the bruins..i believe the blackhawks will come back bigger and better than last season
I was at this game, 13 rows off the ice looking right at this play. The video doesn't even begin to show how slick that play was...simply amazing. He better stay in Chicago for a very long time, of course with his pal, lil' Patty Kane. I'm getting season tickets this year.
not to make little of it, cause its a FANTASTIC goal and this kid is gonna be a star... Nobody played the body on that. an its probably because of all the penalties being called on defense now.
i'm not a hawks fan but i'm glad to see they finally got something to cheer about.
i have to watch that 4-5 times to figure out how exactly did he got past 4 defenders in 2 seconds
How can even compare toews to a goaltender like fleury, or an under performer like Kennedy? Fleury is a good goalie but it's not even possible to clare a forward to a goalie
Seriously
@JM22292 If you don't think Datsyuk dangles, then you don't watch the Red Wings. I'm an Avs fan and whenever he plays against us he almost always dangles. How is Toews better at dangling?
@JM22292 Hundreds of times. I'm not even a Red Wings fan, and he can walk circles around pretty much anyone. He's easily the best dangler in the NHL, no matter what you favor.
R.I.P Peter McNabb this is the call in my memory of him that stood out the most not even being a homer just giving credit where it was due true Legend.
Last week, the Hawks signed Norway's Mathis Olimb a 1 year contract. This will be his first NHL season. Does anyone think he'll play well, he is playing with the Stanley Cup DEf Champions.
