Goes to show what he’s capable of which is a lot more than I imagined… still can’t help but be aggravated by the fact that the best we get from our players is during the regular season during contract years… still great to see nonetheless.
Player Discussion John Tavares: The man, the myth, the legend
- Thread starter TopCheeseShotta
- Start date
JT looking a bit better in this one, after a few struggles recently - and despite having a passenger on his line right now.
Annnnnnd making more history, as part of this core. Alongside Matty getting the 200th multi-point game of his career tonight, big JT secured his 15th 20 goal season already. Insane in Year 7 of this deal. Only him and Ovi have done it since 2009, with Kane having 14.
But the truly wild stat, was from Tim on Sportsnet tonite - only 31 Human Beings have ever had 15 20 goal seasons. Insane kiddos!!

15 seasons of at least 20 goals is quite impressive. Says a lot about staying healthy and having good longevity in a tough league.
Yup.. and won the last Series against Tampa too with a beauty that woulda went down in history - if not for pilon Justin Holl... we got str8 robbed on that ripper!!
Consistent production, if nothing else with JT..

Ya.. which is good news for us.. cuz we paid 11 mill for this production pace he had the day we signed it - and yet, this new one will cost almost half that for a shorter term. Would love to see the one guy who actually braved coming home get a ring when we finally cross that line!

56 years and counting. #FireTheShanaClan!
He did but unless you put weights on specific goals. it does no change the fact that he has been the least productive of the 4. He's been pedestrian since he scored that OT winner vs Tampa. He did have an important goal and assist vs Boston last year for his only two points in 7 games.
Somebody's gotta score all the important goals. Noone else has!!

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
Tavares has been one of the feel good stories of the season so far. He's found a way to be an impactful player at this stage of his career. It gives me hope that he can remain productive if we sign him to an extension.

He's been solid. Hopefully continues come playoff time.

He is a great pro, just goes out there and does his job, never complains. Didn’t like him as captain, though. Don’t like how robotic he was and some of his answers every year after the playoff exits. He didn’t leave you inspired. He is doing great this season so far, not being captain is better for him and the team.
That's fair. Don't disagree.
Some of that stuff is good --> don't get too high or too low; stay composed and professional; dont give away tooo much, etc.... But then sometimes, you just want him to yell, be fieed up or angry or sumthin'..!! Hahaaaa
Not John, and I think as you said that's working for him too.
