This led to Toews exploding on the bench telling Crosby to stay on his skates and that it was weak. Crosby then came back stating that he was can opened.
Both players shared competitive ice for many years to which Crosby is still playing at 36 years old. Toews, who has yet to hang up his skates decided to declare himself unable to play after contracting long COVID during the COVID pandemic.
Toews played his entire career with the Blackhawks and provided the city and the fan base with three Stanley Cups, a Conn Smythe in 2010, the Selke trophy in 2013, the mark messier Leadership Award in 2015 and has been on the NHL All Star roster six times.
Toews has kept a low profile since his departure from the Blackhawks and it remains to be seen on whether he will ever play hockey again or eventually retire from the game officially and continue his chapter without the NHL.
