Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews walked up to teammate Patrick Kane and NBC color commentator Eddie Olczyk while they were talking in the locker room following Thursday's morning skate.
Toews stepped in between the two of them and said, “No more interviews," and all three broke out into laughter.
The interaction was reflective of the mood of the Blackhawks entering Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinal series against the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday. While the Blackhawks understand what's at stake being down 2-1 in the series, they've stayed away from putting too much pressure on themselves.
“I think it's pretty light in here," Kane said after the skate at Joe Louis Arena. “Everyone is excited about the
game obviously, but still no difference than any other day in here, which I think is good. I think we're ready to play. Just watching us in pregame skate, seeing everyone out here just thinking and worrying about hockey. It's a good sign. Not too much has changed, but definitely a sense of urgency."
Kane admitted he considered the Blackhawks' current situation their first real adversity of the season, but he also didn't think that was a bad thing
