Drafted first overall by the New York Islanders in 2009 and their franchise player until 2018, John Tavares, now with his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs, returns to Nassau Coliseum for the first time in his career as the visitor.
Fueled by a passionate, sold-out crowd, the Islanders were able to defeat their former captain and his new club in convincing fashion by a score of 6-1.
As always, a shoutout to Brendan Burke, Butch Goring, and all of MSG Networks for their amazing coverage of the game.

One fan had the perfect sign: a captain doesn't abandon ship.

Indeed, as they say a captain goes down with his ship.

I was nervous meeting the team last years season 2017-18 hockey season at Gila River Arena while I was checking their luggage, wanding etc. Okay wasn't properly trained but The Islanders team including Mr. Tavares were all very nice, sure I was nervous but they were all cool with me being a new employee.

Imagine how much worse the taunting would've been if he had gone to the Rangers!

@kobyschechter8163 3 жыл бұрын

That wasn’t even a possibility because the Rangers had just traded everybody and were going into a rebuild.

It would not matter it was not to where he went or that he went it was how he went. I'm quite sure he knows it was dirty ....live with it. Tavares ..if you care?

@allsystemsgo8678 2 жыл бұрын

@@krissmonte6374 I'd disagree. As disappointed and mad as I was that he kind of "left them at the altar", so to speak,but to do that and go to their biggest rival. To have play against him five, six times a year, the taunting of Rangers fans. It would have been worse.

I'm happy the Islanders organization decide a homecoming video tribute return for him. Wish the fans would be more respectful and think of all the good positive memories Tavares has done for the community of Long Island. No need to be angry whatsoever.

There is plenty of reason to be angry, not because he chose to leave, but in the awful way in which he handled it.

Isles GM offered to trade him to any team he wanted to join… he said he didn’t want to be traded and wanted to resign with the Isles again. He then stalled and eventually was lost to the Leafs via free agency and ended up making less money with the Leafs than what the Isles offered him had he resigned. He’s a snake

Imagine a loveable player leaving New York to go and play for another franchise. The Yankees have been stealing heart and soul players from franchises for over a century. I feel really sad for you New York!

Tj Mckenzie Don’t want to speak for all Isles fans but that’s a pretty terrible connection because most Islanders fans are also Mets fans.

@thomasmckenzie4584 4 жыл бұрын

Sorry man. I just hate the Yankees because they can buy anyone they want. I also hate the Knicks, the Mets and the Rangers too. And as a 10 year-old kid I absolutely HATED the Islanders!!! Not because they had a-hole players or fans, but because they were so freakin good. Gillies, Bossy, Billy Smith, Trottier, Potvin, Goring, Nystrom, Tonelli... my God they were stacked. And I thought the Oilers would murder them in '83, only to get swept by a bunch of "old guys." Much respect to you and your Isles!!

Nobody has this reaction to a normal trade or player leaving situation, this was a very special case and people were angry because of the way Tavares handled it not because he left. Returning players usually get standing ovations, not booed.

How disrespectful The Islander fans are. it's just shameful

@sacredsiren 3 жыл бұрын

I would argue it was more shameful to deceive the team for an entire year, literally begging not to be traded, saying your intention was to stay with the team over and over, waiting until the last minute during free agency to announce your decision, leaving not just the Isles, but the other teams who tried to sign him waiting and handicapped to make moves during free agency (this is why he gets booed in San Jose as well btw), meanwhile planning to go to Toronto the whole time. If he had just been honest and allowed to be traded or announced at the start of free agency that he was going to the Leafs, there would be some fans who were upset but it would not have caused this level of reaction. Some of his comments since have made it clear that he didn't want to be traded because he wanted to keep the top players on the Leafs for when he arrived, which just poured salt into the wounds for Isles fans who were already angry. Ultimately it is the fault of the former Isles management, they should have just traded him as soon as he refused to sign by the deadline and that would have been that. If you look at what happened with somone like Hamonic, he requested to be traded so he could be closer to home, and he got a standing ovation when he returned for the first time. I never cared for the Tavares... he is a very skilled player but I was happy when he left, but he meant a tremendous amount to a lot of people and he definitely earned every one of those boos and chants.

@cowetascore8476 3 жыл бұрын

lol... He handled it HORRIBLY. Dragged it out, lied about wanting to stay when he knew darn well his fiancee didn't want to be on Long Island. He could have said, hey I don't know if I'll be back and let the Isles recoup something. His agent then made a mockery with these team pitch meetings prior to July 1. That's fine. He went home and Isles got better. Worked out for everybody. I'd rather play for a coach like Barry Trotz, but that's just me.
