.@JonathanToews is and always will be one of the good ones… I told him how we miss him and he said, “And I miss all of you.”
When asked if he wanted a #TeamMurray band he said, “For sure! Most definitely! He’s in my thoughts.” He stuck his hand out for me to place on his wrist. pic.twitter.com/rXZjWO0gwk— Katrina (@TR1N1TY3) July 20, 2024
