Jonathan Toews, the third-youngest player selected to captain in NHL history, could arguably be one of the league's most stoic leaders of all-time. It's what earned the 22-year-old native of Manitoba the moniker Captain Serious. "He is usually really serious, but we are all pretty serious in our house," Andree Gilbert, Toews's mother, told FanHouse. "It's an event like this where you can really see the other side of him."
Gilbert's words came on the ice after Toews' Chicago Blackhawks secured the franchise's first Stanley Cup title in 49 years with a Game 6 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Minutes earlier on that June night, the league announced that Toews had secured the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. Toews finished with 29 points, the second-most during the playoffs behind Daniel Briere, although he went the entire final without a goal.
