Blackhawks' Toews on Kane situation: You stay together as a team

Jonathan Toews wasn’t asked about Patrick Kane specifically. But the Blackhawks captain, speaking to a Winnipeg radio station on Thursday afternoon, did talk of how the he and the team deal with off-ice issues.

Toews was about eight minutes into an interview on TSN 1290 on Thursday when he was asked about a “situation that’s been developing with one of your star teammates.” Toews was asked, “when something like that happens during the offseason, does your focus, as far as dealing with teammates andmedia, change?”

Toews had a lengthy response:

“Yeah, you just have to have confidence that things like that will resolve themselves over time and for the time being, you stay together as a team, you support your teammate or teammates who are maybe going through a rough patch.
