Former Fighting Sioux All-American Jonathan Toews is sick and will skip the NHL's All-Star game. Because he's not playing in the All-Star game, Toews has been suspended one game by the NHL and won't get to play in the Blackhawks first game after the All-Star break. Personally, I think this is a horrible rule. The man is sick, he can't play. 

Chris Hine, Chicago Tribune -- Jonathan Toews will not participate in Sunday's All-Star game because of an illness that limited his time in the Blackhawks' 5-0 loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

By NHL rules, Toews will also be suspended one Blackhawks game for pulling out of the All-Star Game.

"Jonathan will not participate in the 2016 NHL All-Star Weekend in Nashville. He was pulled Tuesday's night's third period because of an illness and remains symptomatic (Thursday)," Blackhawks team physician Dr. Michael Terry said in a statement. "At this time, rest over the break is most important for him to properly recover and be fully healthy heading into the rest of the regular season."

But  I digress, I have always been under the mindset if you're sick, you shouldn't go to work. Especially when the Blackhawks team doctor is prescribing rest for the All-Star Toews.
