The Chicago Blackhawks Disrespect Jonathan Toews as His Retirement is Announced

The Chicago Blackhawks dropped a bombshell on their fans yesterday by announcing that tonight's game would be Jonathan Toews' final game as a member of the team. Toews, the team's captain for over a decade, has been a stalwart for the Blackhawks and a fan favorite.

However, instead of using the opportunity to post a thank you message to Toews or celebrate his contributions to the team, the Blackhawks sent out an email to their subscribers promoting the sale of tickets for tonight's game. This decision did not sit well with many fans who felt that the organization was more interested in making a profit than showing appreciation for one of their most beloved players.

The move is being widely criticized on social media, with many fans expressing disappointment and frustration.
