WATCH: Jonathan Toews proves he's still got it pulling off Zegras Michigan pass during Marian Hossa’s farewell game

Canadian ice hockey center Jonathan Toews has once again shown why he's considered as one of the game's elite players. The hockey world was left in awe as Toews, currently an unrestricted free agent, pulled off a move that's becoming increasingly legendary in the sport.

The social media erupted with excitement when Bleacher Report's Open Ice Twitter account posted a tweet with the caption,

"Peter Bondra and Jonathan Toews pulled off the Zegras Michigan pass during Marian Hossa’s goodbye game."

In what can only be described as a memorable moment, Toews demonstrated that his prowess on the ice is as sharp as ever.

The Zegras Michigan pass, a maneuver that requires immense skill and perfect timing, has been gaining prominence in recent years. Named after Trevor Zegras, an American hockey phenom who popularized the move, it involves a player using his stick to scoop the puck up behind the opponent's net and then tucking it into the goal from behind. This audacious play demands not only remarkable hand-eye coordination but also a deep understanding of the game's nuances.

By executing the Zegras Michigan pass during Marian Hossa's farewell game, Toews has secured his position as a player who can seamlessly integrate innovation into traditional gameplay.
