Toews has night to forget in Game 4

Chicago Blackhawks Blog | ESPN Chicago — DETROIT -- Even when Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews isn't scoring, he often finds plenty of other ways to be a game-changer. The Detroit Red Wings kept Toews' production to a minimum throughout the first three games of their Western Conference semifinal series, but they discovered Thursday there's one definitive way to shut Toews down completely -- get him to the penalty box. "We'd like to keep him in the box," Red Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson said.

"In my career I went through a couple stints where we'd be in a playoff series and I had a couple coaches pull me aside and say, 'We don't need a lot of production out of you. We just need you to score that one big goal whether it's early in the game or late in the game,'" Gretzky said on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000.

It's time to step it up for some Hawks

Chicago Blackhawks Blog | ESPN Chicago — It's getting close to do-or-die time for the Chicago Blackhawks. Down 2-1 in their playoff series with the Detroit Red Wings, they have to play better collectively and as individuals. Contrary to some beliefs, Jonathan Toews isn't playing all that bad. His only problem is that pucks aren't going in for him, but he's getting his chances and he's still playing productive hockey. There are other players (or coaches) who need to step up far more than the captain.
