It begins…
Classy, respectful gentleman great for the Leafs Go Canada Go
Enjoy him, please. I’m angry at him now but I wish him the very best. Win him a cup
How many times is “umm” said in this video?
John's such a good guy. To have a great tier one superstar center is one thing, but to have a low-maintenance guy that's naturally humble and seems like he truly cares for his city and his team is special. He's a huge shot in the arm for the Leafs.
Just what Toronto needs a true leader, they will look very good next season
Uhh… uhhhh… uhhh.. take a shot everytime Brendan shanny says uhh
To much money what about Matthews
Wonder why he even stayed in that dump long island for so long. Great move by JT. Welcome home
This is only going to grow the obnoxiousness of Leaf nation. Your D will still get you knocked out in the first round…
Dubas just became the most important young GM in the league. Glad he's on our team. As a lifetime Buds fan, this is beyond exciting!
Stanley is coming home!!!
Good luck with slow footed Taveras and his non-defensive. LMAO
Dubas is the theo epstein of hockey
YAY!!!!!!!
Really happy for him.
REPORTER: (points to debris) Look at all of this crap on this ice! This is what's in the future for you, John Tavares, if you wanna hang around the likes of this man Big Willy and this man Razor Matthews.
HOLLYWOOD JOHN TAVARES: As far as I'm concerned, all this crap on the ice represents the New York Islanders fans! For nine years, brother! For nine years, I held my head high! I did everything for the charities! I did everything for the kids! And with the reception I got when I came out here, burning my jersey, you Long Island fans can stick it, brother! Because if it wasn't for John Tavares, you people wouldn't be here! If it wasn't for John Tavares, Garth Snow would be coaching goalies in the ECHL! And if it wasn't for John Tavares, all these Barzal-come-latelies wouldn't be here! I was selling out the Nassau, brother, while these fans were bumming gas money to get to high school! So the way it is now, with John Tavares and the New World Order of hockey, with Babcock and Mr. McShanaplan, and The Cerebral Dubas-sassin, and my Maple Leafs jammies, and all the young blood by my side — whatcha gonna do when the blue and white runs wild on you?
Abosulte bullshit
The Leafs need to fix their defense before they start planning the parade.
Tavares took a MASSIVE hometown discount should tell you how bad things became with the Islanders
The guy in the middle John Tavares u are such a pathetic guy u leave us islanders fans like that
Since he left The Islanders playoff wins Islanders 6 Leafs 0
How this team has been unable to win a round is beyond me at this point. When this signing was announced they were supposed to go deep that year, and yet it just hasn’t happened
4 years later and they haven't even won a playoffs series.
