Wild's Boudreau: Foolish to judge Toews strictly on points
Jonathan Toews might be worthy of an All-Star nod after all.
Minnesota Wild head coach Bruce Boudreau - who will serve as head coach of the Central Division All-Stars - joined TSN's 1050 radio on Wednesday where he addressed the idea that the Chicago Blackhawks captain could be overrated after being named an All-Star despite having just 21 points in 34 games.
Bruce Boudreau with us on @LeafsLunch1050 today: "If you're evaluating Jonathan Toews only on points, you're missing it completely."

Following the announcement that he had been named an All-Star on Tuesday, Toews admitted he felt teammates Marian Hossa, Artem Anisimov, and Artemi Panarin were all more worthy candidates.
Be that as it may, Toews will be at All-Star weekend, barring an injury, and he'll just have to further prove his worth in the coming weeks.
