John Tavares gets nothing but disrespect from both NHL.com and HFBoards after hitting 900 career points

[Mulletman]

John Tavares used to be one of the most highly regarded active hockey players just a few years back and when he accoplished something special it would be front page news. Well not anymore as John Tavares just hit 900 career points in one of the most unnoticable way possible...

No mention of it on the front page of NHL.com... No thread so far on HFBoards until this one... Usually NHL.com mentions stuff like this in the headline of the recap. But now the headline reads: "Coyotes top Maple Leafs on Gostisbehere late goal for first win". Usually they would have something like: "Tavares hits 900 points in brutal Maple Leafs loss". The only mention NHL.com makes is in the notes at the very end of the article were they say that Tavares hit 900 points with an assist on Nylander's goal.

And HFBoards used to be filled with Tavares fans keeping us up to date with facts about Tavares and his accomplishments. But nowadays my fellow Leafs fans can't wait for the day Tavares' contract is over and Islanders fans have totally shunned Tavares ever since he signed with the Leafs. And the rest of the neutral fans don't seem to care.

Has anybody else fallen from grace into the "not giving a shit territory" quite like Tavares?

Nothing but disrespect and $11 mill a year. I hope I get disrespected that bad some day.

5 of the top 7 threads on mains now about the Leafs, so I'm glad we got a new one.

900 points?

Something doesn't feel right about it...

Seriously though, this is thread worthy?

What we need around here is an anti-whining ordinance.

This has gotten worse over the past few months, so I'm posting here about it now. There are a fair number of people on these boards who only want to read two types of things on the NHL Talk board: (1) good news about their team and players, and (2) bad news about their rivals' teams and...

Seriously though.

And there's the disrespect we're talking about. Tavares was just the 121st player to hit 900 points during the NHL's 106 year history, so yes it's absolutely thread worthy!

Who?

Former Ranger draft pick I think

Really? You cannot be serious...

He's a solid player but not worth $11M. In retrospect, it limited their options in improving the team quickly.

Hey, Gostisbehere is one assist away from #200. Glad you made me look him up. Thanks Mulletman.

Bergeron got his 400th goal last night too and no one cares and no one is whining about it because it's not on the front page of NHL.com or here.

I mean, what's there to discuss about a guy hitting a milestone anyway?

It's shocking because it's a Leafs player not being acknowledged for hitting 900 points. Should be front news on every outlet in the country.

Didn't realize Bergeron got his 400th career goal. Nice accomplishment for one of the best 2-way players of all-time.

Dude stop making stuff up! Bergeron scored his 400th goal last season! He's at 402 career goals right now!

He got all the respect needed in the handshake line a few months ago

Seriously though.

What about making a thread about his 900 points instead?

I would argue that making this thread is whining.

Pointing out that this is not thread worthy is just logical. Maybe not to you but you can disagree.

Goes to show how little I care about meaningless milestones I guess
Let us know when Tavares hits 1000

 

[Breakers]

Two Instagram posts from the NHL on his 900 points

But OK

You want a parade?, firework display? Or a plane to draw 900 in the sky?
