'Couldn't ask for a better leader' than Toews

Journalists generally don't have to reach too far to elicit a complimentary quote concerning Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews.

Coach Joel Quenneville on Toews' post-Olympics play, via CSNChicago.com:

“He’s been good. Consistency is probably his greatest attribute, when he plays game in and game out, has purpose behind every shift, meaning behind every shift and does everything the right way. You couldn’t ask for a better leader in going about the right way of playing. He’s been good since, but he’s generally good every night.”

Toews offered an insight into his drive.

“I don’t think there’s ever a reason to be satisfied,” he said. “It’s exciting every time you win, disappointing every time you lose. Every chance you go to the playoffs or Olympic tournament, your mind is only on one thing. If you feel you’re on a team that has a chance to accomplish something special, you don’t want to be one of those guys who just lets it go by and doesn’t bring it all. For myself, I’m just focusing on my own game and trying to make the biggest difference. I’ve been lucky to be a part of some special moments in my career. Hopefully they keep coming.”
