Jonathan Toews has been dealing with the severity of his concussion which has now kept him out of the lineup for nine consecutive games. Toews skated with the Blackhawks on Friday and could be getting close to a return but realized that his concussion was more serious than he originally thought it would be. "It was so minor at first that it took some time to realize it might be something more serious," Toews said Friday. "You have to admit it to yourself, but you see so many guys around the league dealing with that right now and you don't want to be one of those guys. It took some time to come to grips with that and realize I had to rest to get better..."I thought a week-and-a-half-ago that I would be playing by now," Toews said. "That might be the most frustrating and difficult thing that I am back on the ice and I feel good out there and I feel like I should be playing in a couple of days. But no one else can tell me how I feel. It's up to me to be honest with myself and be smart about it." There is no timetable for his return.
