Overrated? He won the cup at 21, 24 and 26 years of age. He's been the captain and the number 1 center of his team for those 3 cups. He has 1 Conn Smythe. He's been in the top 4 for the Selke trophy 6 times. He was named Best Forward of the tournament in Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Give the guy the respect he deserves.

Canucks fan here. I have tons of respect for this guy. Very few athletes have the passion that this guy has of winning.

The best leader in the NHL! Thank you Toews so much for making the Hawks such a great and memorable team to watch over the past 10 years! You will always be Remebered! 3:47

Love this guy as a captain. Has skill set for hart like seasons but opts out of it for more defensive responsibility. He's the back bone of his team and forces others to elevate their game.

Can we just have respect for one hell of a hockey player. Who cares if he's overrated, he's still a great leader and a beast at hockey

I love Johnathan Towes he's my favorite player coming from a Hawks fan I play with the St.Adolphe Hawks

No doubts one of the best player in the league !! NHL is premium and full of talent! Patriotism I believe is also a big part of it !

I came here expecting some kind of Toews remix by Fort Minor lol

“The more weird you are, is a reflection of how committed you are.”

Kane taught Toews how to have fun playing hockey and Toews taught Kane how to kick up the intensity when needed. The perfect teammates.

What a legend! Hope he can play this year!

he is amazing.

I Respect Jonathan Toews for serving the hockey community. Not only that but his touchy comments on the late J.P Parise who coached Jonathan with Zach Parise J.Ps son. Which was very sweet and nice of him. He has my respect. I'm a Wild fan

Man, Toews works very hard!

Best leader in the National Hockey League, Jonathan Toews!

We will now remember Jonathan Toews for a more sinister reason.

why so many dislike?! Did people that got there didn't thought it was about toews lol? or you come to watch this vid only to dislike it!? some people don,t know what to do with their free time....

what you'll notice with all the stars in the NHL they all had backyard rinks when they were very young, or 24 hour access to ice very close by.

1:20 I dig that his childhood friend is a STL Blues fan.

Captain serious.

guys a winner.

I'm a Blues fan. Toews is a much better player than Malkin (the person people keep mentioning in the comments). Malkin may be a better goal scorer, but toews is one of the best two way forwards and has the leadership skills that very few possess. He may not have the most points under his name, but he's the player every team needs. He brings so much more to the game than just having the ability to find the back of the net. His drive. His intelligence. His role as the leader of a dynasty. I hate the Hawks, but I absolutely respect this guy.

wearing an avalanche shirt as a kid, adult, blackhawks

Toews used to be a saint but he hasn't been relevant since June of 2015. This is Kane's team now.

Johnathan Toewes has more of those " leadership intangibles" then any player in the league, and is one of the ten best captains in NHL history. His vision, hands and attitude helped lead the hawks to a modern day dynasty, and even though his stats might not show it, any player in the league will yell you straight up he belongs on this list.

I'll remember Jonathon Kane.

sid-samonella, theres more to hockey then scoring goals. Put into consideration what he does on the def side of the puck, his assists and starting runs, and leading a team to three cups..and for those who comment on getting knocked out two first rounds, that must mean Ovi sucks since the caps rarely make it out of the first round the last several odd seasons..once again theres the 3 cups and olympic medals

A lot of long term memory impaired posters on board. Look at his record and give your head a shake if you can't recognize a talented leader.

Remember Toews. Forget Chelsea Dagger.

Forgot his name for the last couple of weeks tbh

This almost looks like a memorial-video for the newly-died, which made me think... Toews: "I'M NOT DEAD!" Community: "What?" Sportsnet: "Nothing, just watch the video and give it a like."

His grandma substitutes at my school

Henrik Sedin. Remember the name.

No more captain serious, results in them struggling this season

I honestly forgot about him a bit after 2013 lol

Now that I know what it takes to make the NHL, I think I may get as far as playing double letters.

it just hurts to remember we got swept by nashville

Yeah

His friend has a blues hat LOL

The ONLY player from the Blackhawks dynasty era who maintained his integrity and pride. After Kane went to the Redwings, all the other big stars from the team that won multiple Cups sold out. Keith, Seabrook, Sharp, Crawford, Hossa, all of them are dead to this city now. They cheered for a Wings player, and they lost their home in Chicago. Toews wouldn't do it. Captain Serious is still our guy.

man should I tell them about the sweep thing.

I know this is a pretty irrelevant video but I have no idea what happened to Toews. Since June of 2015, it seems like his drive and desire to win has faded away. The video shows a guy who would stop at nothing to win and literally take the team upon his back in order to get to overtime or win the game. Now, it seems like he could give two shits about the team. He’s one of the highest paid players in the NHL and it seems like $10.5 million a year has made him feel complacent. Totally complacent. Call me a bandwagon fan if you want but I was 11 when they won the Cup in 2010. I remember that day crystal clear because I was at a White Sox game and watched them win it on the Jumbotron in center field and I can remember the feeling of a city being united in a way it hasn’t been in 49 years. For those next 6 years it was a privilege to watch them take the league by storm all led by the man in this video. Now, Toews is the Captain of a team who doesn’t have an identity, doesn’t have a shot at making the playoffs, and doesn’t have the will to win. All he seems to care about is what climate change policy Trump decides on, golf, and touching his girlfriend’s boobies every night he gets an assist. He is already one of the greatest players to play, but why stop there? He could be legendary but chooses to plateau. I guarantee Crosby will win another 2 cups while Toews is on the putting green in June. It’s pretty tragic.

When people say this guy is overrated and doesn't deserve to be in the top 100.. Absolute idiots, he's not only one of the best two way guys but also close to a point a game player in the playoffs, yeah obviously things didn't work out this year vs Nashville but it's a team game, one man can't do it all.

Remember the name GOLDUST!

Please make the same with Kane

sounds like a WWE return promo

Jonathan toes

Im so sorry, what's the name again?

All of this is great but it couldn't get the hawks past the first round

Why isn't he playing for Canada in the World Championship

Remember the fact the Blackhawks got swept

No Sidney Crosby but he's a shoe in for the HHOF.

Jonathan toews the golfer?

cough game 4 cough

his friend has a st.louis hat ?!? whaaat :O

Who?

Toews wouldn't be such a bad guy to have on your team at $5 mil a season as a 2nd line center, but at his current contract its just brutal and makes him impossible to move without retaining salary.

Remember the sweep Chicago Blackhawks.

who?

people forget that toews has no line mates he's always playing with unproven rookies or ageing hossa now that panarin is here

Toews is overrated, but so are many Penguins players now lol. Crosby being the 5th best player in hockey history??? He missed majority of his peak seasons, and never dominated the league in the realm of Lemieux or Orr when healthy lol. He has a "chance" at top 10, but that's about it. Hasek should be that number 5 spot, considering his insane longevity (three decades of professional hockey), and absolute dominate peak that is ahead of Jagr. Malkin is not Yzerman/Sakic/Trottier/Messier/Clarke/Mikita/Esposito level lol. You're out of your mind if you actually think that. Yes, maybe he had that "talent", just like Forsberg, but he is waaaay too inconsistent and injury prone to be in the same sentence as those players. Letang is not a hall of famer, so stop comparing him to Leech, Niedermeyer, or any other low rank hall of fame defenseman. And people who are comparing Murray to Hasek/Roy/Brodeur because he won "two cups" in his first two years, needs brain surgery.

He retired

I guess people don't like winners.....

4-0

He's almost been kicked out of the first more times than the amount of cups he won

Crosby mcdavid

Why was this even made? Leafsnet makes no sense sometimes.

Good player, Great leader and a winner with a great team over the last 8 years...nothing more. People, Media, and especially Blackhawks fans overrate him to death...trying to compare him to all time greats who are far above him individually. Toews never even a point per game player, never won a hart, art ross, lindsay or rocket trophy, never been a point per game player or better. Anyone would want him on their team if he weren't making 10-11 million, he had alot more offensive talent when he was younger but has worked on his two way game as a centre, good guy and player but not = to Crosby or a Yzerman.

Remember them 2017 playoffs. Lmfao.

no

You mean the guy who got completely shut down by the Nashville predators oh yea I remember that guy

Very good player but overrated, no way Malkin is worse than him

> Malkin

Remember getting swept 4-0.

She sounds like she’s Native American. She has the accent, you know what I mean? Jk. Just another NA thing.

He's a very complete two way player, but top 100 to ever play the game?... Nah

preds lol

Toews is a good player, but no more than that lol. He is way overrated and i completely disagree with him being placed in NHL 100...

Overrated

Not a top 100 NHL player. Replace him with Malkin.

overrated

Crosby is better

He's way too overrated with things like "Great leader" or "Great defensive forward" He's never scored more than 70 points and that was very early in his career. He's a good player but has been blessed with great players around him, definitely not one of the best 100 players.

He doesn't deserve to be in the Top 100.

as the most overrated player in the league

I'll remember the name as one of the most over rated players at the end of his career

So many centers better then Toews. Crosby, McDavid, Malkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tavares, heck, maybe even Seguin or Thornton. Matthews in another year will be better then Toews. Most overrated player in all of sport.

It's real men

who?

overrated
