If You Were Wondering Where Jonathan Toews Has Been...The Answer Is India For The Last 5 Weeks
This is one of those..."don't knock it 'til you try it" situations for me. I did not expect to wake up this morning to Jonathan Toews going all Eat Pray Love in retirement. I had heard whispers over the summer that he was hoping to have a comeback somewhere. That seems far away if not impossible at this moment. I will say...I have tremendous sympathy for people suffering from chronic illness as Toews has had for 5 years now. I can't imagine being unhealthy and in pain for that long. I did see my mom deal with it over a decade ago. She eventually found treatment and diet that worked for her that were unconventional. So Toews going on a Pachakarma healing protocol...I mean no stone left unturned. Even if its a Sankara stone.
I hope he gets better. I hope he has some peace. I found it sad and odd that he wasn't in the building for the Chelios/Kane night last season when Sharpie, Seabs, Keith, Hossa, and others made the trip. He says this method was working for him and that is the most important thing. Judge not. Here's his best of highlights just in case you forgot what he was like when he was on top (many people seem to)
