No comment is for team officials. Toews is talking about the players interacting with each other. I can see where you are coming from and do not think it was a great statement, but I don't see the foot in mouth quote there. All the talk radio people on twitter are aghast. It wasn't elegant at all, but I think it's easy enough to understand what Toews was trying to say, even if he didn't quite nail it. He's never given a hint of being a well spoken guy. But he's the only remaining face of the franchise with teeth in his mouth and is going to be facing a lot of cameras the next few weeks. And i'm guessing Blackhawks PR has already spoken to him since this interview and said "um, maybe lets not talk about this".
