Tavares is a player that I had no idea about,but when I seen him in a game against the Canucks last season he got my notice & interest. He looked so strong on his skates & owned the puck. Kinda like Pele with a soccer ball. When he had the puck it looked like in an instant he could make a pass or take a shot or stick handle & make a play on the net. He looked so calm patient & tricky. He also looks well built physically. Plus he likes Leafs as that was his boyhood team. Leafs just got to be a much better team with him on it. But it 's a team game of defence & offence & he & Matthews & other good Leaf players are only on the ice for 45 sec shifts / 20 minutes ice time in a game so ....the other guys gotta play hard.
Washington Boston Pittsburg Detroit etc...are more than likely going in the playoffs...& the Leafs will have to beat some very good teams on the way to the Cup.
16 teams make it to the post season so it 's not just 6-10 teams so getting the Cup is a grind & battle. Can the Leafs hold up physically to get to the finals?
Going back a bit ...did not the Toronto Marlies win the championship?
(Have not posted on sports much because hockey season is over & I'm trying to get interested in the CFL but honestly the Lions have not impressed me at all. Hamilton Edmonton Calgary Ottawa look like they have a system.) Toronto is going to be a very very much better team this year & predict they will kick the Canucks butt when they meet. ( meet in the Stanley Cup...pass the joint over here puff puff ...oh hi oh yes I smoke pot but I never inhale
is that how the story goes? Actually never touched a joint for 25-30 yrs at least for the record...red wine only a day ago. )
Canucks are like the Lions. The pits. Maybe with the twins gone the Canucks will surprise us fans.
Tavares is a great player. Chris eyes look brighter today! Big signing.
