Jonathan Toews is taking ‘small steps’ toward his old self, but ‘it’s not really in my nature to be patient’ as the Chicago Blackhawks captain tries to break goal drought

“I think given the fact what I went through physically, the fact I’m not quite out of the woods yet, also just missing that time, missing an entire season, all of sudden trying to acclimate to how many games we’re playing and being on the road and all the things that kind of make an NHL season as difficult as it is, just trying to take all that in stride and know that I’m better than I was in training camp. Just got to keep with that progress.”
