Jonathan Toews ties it with a short handed goal in Game 7

[pumpkinhead540]

all this arguing between who is better, Datsyuk or Toews is stupid. Datsyuk is one of the best two way players in the game, but he is no where near where Toews is as a leader. Toews has leadership ability, and can be clutch when his team needs him the most.

[MyLifeCafe]

@tkleinert4 toews is only 23, and he is on pace for morethan 80 points. How old is datsyuk? Toews has acclompished at least the same as datsyuk if not more, in a less amount of time.

[TheTigersWingsFan]

Not a big hawks fan as you can tell by my name, but this goal was awesome. My favorite goal of last years playoffs. Just wished they would of finished the deal. I hate the Canucks.

[Gforcebond]

I'm pretty sure if Chicago won this game and they should have they had all the momentum on their side. Down 0-3 and tied it up short handed with series on line in game 7? I'm like 90 percent sure if Chicago won in OT they would have won Stanley Cup again and went all the way.

[jfaesloinx]

Anyone notice when toews scored the canucks on the ice just stood or layed there lifeless in shock

[CPriceKSteeg310]

youve been tazed

[awesomelysweet2442]

The most beautiful goal I've ever seen in my life, hands down. After he'd be knocked, Game on the line, Shorthanded, Game 7, last 2 minutes of the period, it actually doesn't get better. I'm a Pittsburgh fan and I cried when they lost in OT.

[seukfuhi]

@awesomelysweet2442 Wish so much the Pens and the Hawks could meet once in a dream Cup final. Pure talent vs. pure talent.

[awesomelysweet2442]

@seukfuhi oh my gosh, the stuff dreams are made of. My mum's a hawks fan and dad and myself are pens fans, it'd be amazing if they were to meet in the Cup final.

[iPartyRock3]

I'm a huge canucks fun but I must say that was a sick goal.... toews is pretty awesome.

[CaDo17107]

Such an underrated goal. Had they won in overtime, this would have been on highlight reels for years as one of the greatest comebacks ever.

[Lifthard56]

Toews is my boy! 

[NebraskaFan77]

Might just be even though the hawks lost in ot the best goal in his career.

[Faeiv]

Go canucks

!

[simongagne33]

this is so underrated

[Lifthard56]

@dunnyb41 I guess you can say the same about Vancouver..oh wait..

[bmrhojo1]

Cant wait till hockey starts back up again. The Hawks still have just as much talent as anybody in the league and now will have that determination to reclaim their Cup again.

[lessthanthreemetal]

as soon as he picked up the puck i had a horrible feeling that it was going in..

[Lifthard56]

You just can't stop the determination of champions and you just saw an example here, folks.

[dunnyb41]

@Lifthard56 That determination sure worked out in the final score right?....oh....

[danblaze83]

@dunnyb41 Did he or did he not captain a team to the cup? Yes or No? What did Henrietta Sedin do? NOTHING

[jbobbster]

@danblaze83 Exactly!!! When the game was on the line, you couldn't find the Sedins sissies anywhere. I'm not even sure if they showed up in the Stanley Cup finals. They both were a combined -14 or something.

[bmrhojo1]

@dunnyb41 Toews's name appears on the Stanley Cup....and it WILL be there a couple of more times with the Hawks before Toews hangs up his skates.

Where are the Sedin sisters's names on the Cup????

[hellbound64]

@bmrhojo1 where's toews name on the art ross and hart trophy??

[bmrhojo1]

@hellbound64 Curious thing about those trophies....they don't engrave their names into them if they are won. But don't worry the little Sisters wont have to worry about getting their names on the Cup during their careers.

[hellbound64]

@bmrhojo1 fuck you bitch. fucking panthers fan

[bmrhojo1]

@hellbound64 Panthers??? Hmmm...nope Blackhawks....you know that team that won the Cup two years back....and will win it again in about 8 months time.

Have fun watching the Capfucks lose.....AGAIN.

[hellbound64]

@bmrhojo1 haters gon' hate...when nucks are first in the west again we'll see who's laughing

[bmrhojo1]

@hellbound64 yeah cause finishing first in the regular season is ALL that the CapFucks have accomplished....Hows that President's Trophy look?

[hellbound64]

@bmrhojo1 it looks good?? idk what your point is... the stanley cup is obvs more important, but id rather watch my team dominate all year, rather than have them make the playoffs by a tie-breaker

[bmrhojo1]

@hellbound64 my point is that nobody in five years will even care what the hell the CapFucks accomplish...because that Stanley Cup will never be theirs.

[CPriceKSteeg310]

@hellbound64 where's sedin's name on the conn smythe and stanley cup??

[detroitmcpro]

@dunnyb41 bitch....

[Sabaskong]

I was watching that game here late at night, frustrated by the result and couldn't stop yelling and shouting when Toews scored this milestone of a goal, simply marvellous and second to none. Everytime when it counts it's good to have someone to rely on. Go Jonathan, go Blackhawks!!!!!

[jbobbster]

Can someone please get this highlight with Pat Foley making the call or Jim Hughson of CBC? It be nice to here someone besides John Forslund calling this goal.

[pumpkinhead540]

I can honestly say that I don't think I will ever forget this goal, and the way I felt when I saw this happen. I think that might be the happiest I have ever felt in a long time. I just makes me so sad that Vancouver won it on a failed clearing attempt

[jfaesloinx]

i just wish the broadcast showed the vancouver crowd after he scored this. there must have been a sheer look of terror on their face like, not this team, not again....

[kevin5046]

If Campoli doesn't single-handely lose the game for the Hawks in OT, this goal would be remembered as one of the All-time great goals in one of the All-time great comebacks.

I just cannot get over how bad of a turnover that was for Campoli. Totally inexcusable in OT of a game 7, heck, totally inexcusable in the 1st period of a preseason game. The Hawks had Vancouver on the ropes and Campoli "gift-wrapped" the game for them. Absolutely 0% of the blame goes to Crawford for not stopping the puck.

[bulldog190]

@kevin5046 is he still on the team?>



[TedLillyfan15]

@bulldog190 no hawks chose not to go to arbitration with him and let him walk

[bulldog190]

@TedLillyfan15 ur joking lol funny

[bulldog190]

@TedLillyfan15 toews or campoli?  please by campoli

[bulldog190]

@TedLillyfan15 toews or camp??? not toews! god i hope not

[TedLillyfan15]

@bulldog190 nah campoli lol

[coolguy02295]

GO BRUINS!!!

[decyll]

couve's defence got toews'd on that one...

[artcorvolet]

I have to admit..one of the greatest playoff goals ever scored! Had the Hawks won that game that would have gone right next to Bobby Orr's goal!

[dirty30jr]

Never seen such dickheaded fans as in that intermission

glad you choked Canooks

[novak253]

hey shwaty

[Blackhawks1027]

Hes the best player in the NHL.

[tkleinert4]

@Blackhawks1027 Pavel Datsyuk is the best player in the NHL. Toews is great but he is not on Datsyuk's level yet.

[RazrHawk81]

@tkleinert4 Toews has 18 goals in 33 games so far this season, Datsyuk has 10 goals in 32 games so far this season. So explain to me how Toews isn't on Datsyuk's level yet?

[tkleinert4]

@RazrHawk81 haha we're less than half way into the season? Toews has never had an 80 point season. Datsyuk has been a top 5 scorer in the league AND a selke winner (defensive forward award) in the same season MULTIPLE times. Datsyuk is hands down the best and most complete player in the world

[RazrHawk81]

@tkleinert4 Toews had 29 points in the 2010 playoffs, and won the Conn Smythe trophy that year. The most points Datsyuk has ever had in an NHL playoff season is 23, and he's been in the league almost twice as long as Toews has.

[smumustangs15]

@RazrHawk81 Datsyuk has also lead his team in hits in the playoffs multiple times and is the leading penalty killer. he does that a lot more than score. Datsyuk is better offensively and defensively.

[RazrHawk81]

@smumustangs15 Toews was the runner up for the 2011 Selke award, Datsyuk was 3rd after Toews. So it appears I'm not the only one who thinks Toews is better than Datsyuk.

[smumustangs15]

@RazrHawk81 datsyuk missed over 1/3 of the season hahah thats why he didnt win. He has won it 3 times. And to be a selke winner and a top 5 scorer in the league is unreal. Toews career high is 76 points and has never won a selke. he cant be claimed as the best if he has never even reached 80. He may eventually be the best but right now its datsyuk

[RazrHawk81]

@smumustangs15 Regardless of how many games Datsyuk missed, Kesler clearly deserved the 2011 Selke award. And yeah, he's won the Selke 3 times, but has never won the Hart, Art Ross, or the Conn Smythe. Toews in his 1st and only SCF appearance, won the Conn Smythe. I'm taking anything away from Datsyuks past accomplisments, I'm just saying I believe at present, Toews is better.

[smumustangs15]

@RazrHawk81 No datsyuk deserved the selke no question. He does everything. Penalty kill, faceoffs, amazing +/-, takeaways, forecheking. Datsyuk is a much better scoring threat. His stats dominate toews and he is an amazing defensive forward. And he plays 3-4 less minutes a game then ovechkin and other superstars, its already been proven that datsyuk would have multiple art ross trophys if they had the same ice time. Datsyuks points per MINUTE statistic is insane. but ppl only look at PPG.

[RazrHawk81]

@smumustangs15 You're so Datsyuk biased it's ridiculous!!! Kesler was no doubt the right choice for winner of the Selke. And this this is coming from someone who doesn't even like Kesler. And what you're suggesting is just speculation, not proof!!! It's not proof untill he gets more ice time, and scores enough points to win the Art Ross. Don't be too shocked if Toews wins an individual award in 2012, and Datsyuk doesn't.

[RazrHawk81]

@smumustangs15 Hey Datsyuk groupie, regardless of what you read in SI, it's still just speculation, not proof. Toews has already been mentioned as a candidate for the 2012 Hart Trophy.But I haven't heard anything yet about Datsyuk being mentioned for that award.

[smumustangs15]

@RazrHawk81 hhahaha so because he has 1 point more than datsyuk less than half of the way into the season he is better???? hahah thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard. ANY hockey expert or anyone unbiased would say datsyuk is better.

[RazrHawk81]

@smumustangs15 I've heard a hockey analylist on ESPN mention Toews name as a HT candidate. But I haven't heard anything mentioned about Datsyuk being a candidate for the HT anywhere so far from any hockey analylist.

[smumustangs15]

@RazrHawk81 hahahah thats not a reason? haha because 30 games in he is a HT candidate?? Talk to me when the season is over. Toews has never had 80 points. he has never won a selke or been nominated for a hart. No one can claim he is the best in the league.

[RazrHawk81]

@smumustangs15 You know this is getting boring. I think Toews is better, and you think Datsyuk is better. So we'll just have to wait untill the 2012 awards are given out to find out who's right.

[2DuncanKeith]

@smumustangs15 Toews has won 3 gold medals, led team Canada in points, named best forward in the Olympics, he won the conn smythe, and won the stanley cup in one year he got that but only 1 gold medals. I dont see Datsyuk doing that in 1 year do you?

[2DuncanKeith]

@smumustangs15 Toews won 3 gold medals, led team Canada in points, named the best forword, he won the conn smythe, he led chicago in points in the playoffs, and he won the stanley cup in one year but only 1 gold medal. I dont see Datsyuk doing that all in one year do you? There Toews is better

[tkleinert4]

@2DuncanKeith hahah he has never reached 80 POINTS!!!!! And sure he is clutch.. im not arguing that. I like Toews a lot! But Datsyuk is better offensively and defensively. Stats and trophys prove it. Datsyuk is considered by many players and coaches to be the best in the world. He is one of the few that can be a top 5 scorer AND the best defensive forward in the same year. His all around game is the best.

[Terminus92]

i was so mad

[jaiho1177]

i'm a cancuks fan and i think that was a frickin amazing goal

[LoNeWoLfz831]

if only Campoli doesn't go full retard in overtime..

[captainobvious432]

@LoNeWoLfz831 you never go full retard

[seukfuhi]

One of the most beautiful individual efforts I've ever seen. With his team on the brink of elimination, Toews, the team's Cpt., ties it with a desperate effort. I'll never forget this moment. Jonathan Toews, one of the greatest players of his generation.

[baseball79512]

The fact that you're comparing Datsyuk to Toews now at this moment in time is pretty indicative of the talent that Toews has at only 23. He'll be the next great Joe Sakic/ Steve Yzerman type player

[renegadeking4]

@OvieSnipez agreed!!

[emsx0xx]

oh my god this was BRUTAL for canucks fans. I'll never forget it.

[renegadeking4]

Toews is great, don't get me wrong, but Datsyuk is better

[RobOnDaCob]

@renegadeking4 sweet a douchey red wings fan. never seen one of those before

[renegadeking4]

@RobOnDaCob Dude, I never disrespected the Hawks or Toews. I said he was a great player, but Datsyuk is better. Wasn't trying to upset anybody, just voicing my opinion. No need to name call. If you don't agree, ok. Just saying what I think. Sorry I upset you, but I did say Toews was a good player. I could have trashed him and said he sucks, but I didn't. Would appreciate some respect as I showed you guys.

[RobOnDaCob]

@renegadeking4 what respect? you specifically went to a video of Toews doing something cool just to brag that Datsyuk is better.  that's pretty douchey

[renegadeking4]

@RobOnDaCob I went to his video because I like Toews and he has great skill. But in my opinion Pavel is better. I didn't come here to dis on him and say Datsyuk is better. I came here to watch a really good hockey player. It's pretty douchey of you to tell me what I'm doing when I wasn't doing what you said I was.

[bmrhojo1]

@renegadeking4 your entitled to your opinion, and hell I might even share it FOR THE MOMENT. But by the time Toews has been in the league as long as Dats has the opinion of Toews being better wont even be debatable.

[dannyxt]

EARN THE C TAZER

[NHLownsYOU]

Toews is the complete package, he's all a captain should be and more.

[GFORCE]

Derrick Rose wishes he was a clutch as Tazer

[joejohn1423]

that was one of the best sports moments i've ever seen! i wish the blackhawks had won! it would have been fitting. and they deserved it. i hate the canucks. they like to whine and imbellish calls

[stewartingsys]

thats what a conn smythe winner does. not that anyone from vancouver would/will know what that looks like or anything.

[vince0123]

garbage goal who cares they lost

[silkybob36]

@vince0123 Why you gotta hate? Vancouver won, congrats, but at least respect talent, hard work, and perseverance when you see it.

[vince0123]

@silkybob36 lol true he is still canadian and i have respect 4 him

[silkybob36]

@vince0123 Haha yeah, he is. Congrats again on the series win, and as much as it pains me to say it, you guys deserved it. Looking forward to a rematch next year...

[vince0123]

@silkybob36 thanks brah hard team is outta the way now

[GhostSoldier77777]

@vince0123 You're Canadian but you type the word 'brah'? What a fuckin loser.

[vince0123]

@GhostSoldier77777 im pretty sure anyone can type the word brah so ur the loser. 

[GhostSoldier77777]

@vince0123 Apparently, implying doesn't work so I'll just say it: 'Typing the word 'brah' when you're not from Hawaii is pretentious and fuckin stupid.'

Clear enough, fucktard?

[vince0123]

@GhostSoldier77777 do u think anyone gives a shit okay bye

[GhostSoldier77777]

@vince0123 You do... you responded, fucko. Bye.

[vince0123]

@GhostSoldier77777 lol im trying to show how fucking retarded u are dumbfuck bye 

[GhostSoldier77777]

@vince0123 Do you always say, 'bye' and then continue the conversation?

[vince0123]

@GhostSoldier77777 go troll somewhere else faggot

[GhostSoldier77777]

@vince0123 Ah, hatespeech. Now we're getting somewhere. So what other groups do you hate besides homosexuals?

[Jusmiester]

@GhostSoldier77777 dude stop have respect for someone just because they say brah doesn't give you a right to talk shit especially over the internet it is pathetic and you look stupid as shit

[basterisk]

The Canucks are the last club in the NHL to deserve the cup.  They still have the most disrespectful, distasteful fanbase (see comments below) and the most dishonorable, dirtiest style of play (remember when they tried to murder Steve Moore?). When they clean up their organization is when they'll deserve the cup.

[DurhamBull73]

@basterisk dont be hatin on vancouver

[33sasquatch33]

That was one of the sickest games I've ever watched thanks to Johnny!

[pokeryfoosy]

gritty goal

[gabbb14]

Too bad for Toews they lost, that comeback from 0-3 in the series would've been epic, with a crazy game-seven short-handed last-minute game-tying goal like that, wow.

[pras112]

So proud of our Capatin and this team despite the loss

[fffresshRice]

Captain Clutch! what a beastly goal. I'm proud to be a Blackhawks fan.

[vikingluv7]

@fffresshRice Yeah, that was a Stevie Y effort. Hawks should be good for years to come with him. . I am Red Wings fan but I like having the Hawks be a good team.

[Boomayy]

Such a great moment. Too bad they lost in OT. :'[
