Today's longread is posted in celebration of the start of the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Chicago Blackhawks begin their first round series tonight, and I will be glued to the TV. One of the main storylines for the Hawks is whether their team captain -- Jonathan Toews (#19) -- will play after missing more than a month of the season with a concussion. All signs point to him playing tonight, and as one of the best players in the world, this could have a huge effect on the series. In addition to his skills on the ice, though, Toews also brings a focused and determined mentality that has led him to be known as Captain Serious. This article profiles Toews shortly after the Hawks won the Stanley Cup in 2010.
