Given how wanky meme has been lately I'm posting this and ducking. But social media Jonathan Toews absolutely makes me chuckle.

"Real men take their lap dogs fishing." Honestly. You're killing me here. If only you'd called it a purse dog.

But why oh why does he keep posting that scammy Onnit shit? Does he seriously believe it works? Bah!

ayrt

Also I would break my ankle if I attempted to do the move he's doing where he's jumping over the weight bench and landing half on half off (this is a terrible description. Here's the link.).

Upon rewatching that doesn't seem super safe with the ceiling fan right there next to his head.

This thread sums up the whole of my feelings about his instagram. Adorable as fuck, but also why to all of the Onnit stuff.

NA

He's a member of their 'pro team', who "may have a financial stake in Onnit" according to their website.

Re: Hockey Media

From: (Anonymous)
Yes, he either believes in it or is getting paid to:

Thanks to @aubreymarcus and the @onnit family for bringing me into the fold. My first day at @onnitacademy was a great one. Privileged to be a part of this awesome group of people because they are bringing the gift of total human optimization to more and more people everyday. It's all about #whatmakesyoubetter as a performer, artist, employee, partner and person. They are enabling people to start living with purpose and to improve their own lives so that they can create a better environment around them. This is a movement, a family, a bandwagon worth jumping on. #totalhumanoptimization #getonnit

This screams sponsored instagram post to me, honestly. He might believe it but he definitely got paid to post that.

Re: Hockey Media

From: (Anonymous)
Yeah, it reads like paid to me, also.

Re: Hockey Media

From: (Anonymous)
Totally sponsored, especially considering all his other posts are like, one or two sentences max.

Re: Hockey Media

From: (Anonymous)
Even if he's getting paid, I'm pretty sure he believes what he's saying.

I was going to make a crack about him being part of a health and nutrition related products cult, but the sentence, "They are best known for their supplement Alpha BRAIN," also caught my attention.

Re: Hockey Media

1. It's funny how many of his pictures are of him
2. his gf/(wife?) is cute

Re: Hockey Media

'Jonathan Toews didn’t become a Buddhist-thinking, Taoism-teaching, Stoicism-preaching, hot-yoga-doing, tiny-dog-toting, self-empowerment-book-devouring, climate-change-battling, urban-gardening, healthy-eating evangelist overnight.'

Unnnnnnngh. In which the media and the world 'discover' that Toews is that earnest guy in the gym who's perfectly responsible wrt gym hygiene and re-racking weights and not creeping in group fitness classes and yet your instincts scream at you to edge away when he tries to initiate conversation about nutrition and/or book club around the water fountain... OH WAIT. We knew this already. Carry on then, JT, carry on. May that MCT oil grease your way to victory!

(Said with ~ mostly ~ fondness, as I do admire the guy as a hockey player, and would like hockey & sports culture in general to be more encouraging of developing good people as opposed to just good players, but the way the press seem to be falling all over themselves to lap the gluten & dairy-free shine off his ass just 'cause he's taken his particular blend of modest exhibitionism + preachiness to twitter & insta like he's the next coming of [insert relevant prophet here] makes me cringe)

I just think the whole thing is freaking hilarious. I wish I hadn't been turned so thoroughly off the Hawks, because otherwise Toews being ridiculous hippie health nut (the Gwyneth Paltrow of hockey, as someone on my TL said) seems like a fun characterization to play with.

the Gwyneth Paltrow of hockey

This just made my day. (It's a low bar tbh, as it's been a crap day, but still... *dies laughing at thought of Toews trying to convince Crawford of the benefits of steam cleaning his junk* :-)

I cannot lie. He won me over with the purse dog Instagram. It still makes me laugh today.
