I blame Tavares for this. I used to be his biggest fan, I even bought his home and away jerseys and spent almost $600 doing it. Now I hate the man with a passion. I hope he never wins another game. And it’s not because he left the islanders, truly it’s not. I could have accepted that, after all who doesn’t want to go home?
What bothers me is how he did it. Going to ownership and begging them not to trade him when they had a deal all worked out, because the team couldn’t afford to lose him for nothing. It turned out he just didn’t want to be traded because it would inconvenience him and his girlfriend aryne.
The man said a giant FU to all the people who supported him for 9 years. And to the islanders staff who catered to his every whim. The man was and is a true bastard. For 9 years, actually more, from the moment he was drafted all he ever talked about was loyalty.
The man could be on fire, and I wouldn’t piss on him……..
