Reality is slowly starting to set in for Jonathan Toews as he prepares to play in what could be his final games as a member of the Blackhawks.

"Yeah, I feel like it's one of those things that doesn't fully sink in until after it's over," Toews said."And you reminisce to the big moments when you win the Stanley Cup and you know everything happened around you is going to be a memory before you know it, so you're trying to soak it in. So in a sense, it's like that. But obviously, it's different."
Toews missed two months this season with an illness but pushed hard to return — and do so earlier than expected — to soak in whatever's left of his time in Chicago. His mindset remains the same as the last days approach. "I'm just trying to be present and enjoy everything," Toews said."Even though it's been tough. I mean, you look at these last few months, even when I wasn't in the lineup the guys were on the road so much. This last road trip wasn't an easy one. Now we’ve got a tough week ahead of us with three games in four nights and so through all that, you’ve got to do what you got to do, but just trying to enjoy it for what it is.
