I've seen John a few times in the past two or three years. He seems more toned down from what he used to be. (Albeit, I'm on the outside looking in re: Kevin vs. John). We're both speaking at DevConnections next month in Las Vegas. I'll gauge his feistiness again.

>He was named captain of the Hawks at a ridiculously young age. It was out of respect. You do not mess with Jonathan Toews.
