Toews' 1,000th game celebrated with DeBrincat's custom, crude artwork

Chicago Blackhawks players weren't going to let their captan's 1,000th career game go by without acknowledgment.

Jonathan Toews reached his milestone game on the road at FLA Live Arena on Thursday, so the pomp and circumstance would have to wait until the team was back at the United Center.
Or would it?
Blackhawks forward Alex DeBrincat put marker to paper and made a custom sign to hang over Toews' locker. The team shared a picture on social media.

The Panthers, in a classy gesture, also recognized the feat with a special graphic they displayed on the scoreboard before the game.

After the game, longtime teammate Patrick Kane shared some thoughts about the captain's accomplishment on Twitter.

The Blackhawks return home on Sunday against the Arizona Coyotes.
