John Tavares first Hattrick as a Toronto Maple Leaf

[Stephen]

Catching the puck out of thin air with his stick was pretty special...

 

[Critical13]

He's pretty good.

Here is Tavares hat trick goal called by Joe Bowen.

So your top 5 centers are:

McDavid
Crosby
Malkin
Matthews
Tavares

Right?

Matthews for sure. Tavares is close with like 5 other centers.

The third one is what dreams are made of. Knocks the puck out of the air and makes a perfect shot for the goal. I mean, that just screams skill.

Where is Matthew's with his fourtrick?

 

[Jozay]

Great to see.

Maybe you guys can take your Tavares vs Islanders fans argument to another thread.

This thread is about Tavares' scoring his first hat-trick as a Leaf.

Do you smell what Taveras is cooking? Cheesed in 3

His shot for the hat trick was just lethal.

His shot for the hat trick was just lethal.

Unreal. I din't think he had anywhere to shoot from the angle at the time.

 

[Anomie2029]

There should be an asterisk next to these goals.

Should it really be counted if it's scored on Cam Ward?

 

[LeafsNation75]

Unreal. I din't think he had anywhere to shoot from the angle at the time.

One thing overlooked is him getting right back to his feet when Kane knocked him down and the puck coming right to him just before he scored.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Where is Matthew's with his fourtrick?

The NHL PR updated their tweet to include Matthews hat trick from his debut.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Tavares is a Leaf!

That Tavares guy looks good in Blue

This thread is about John Tavares' hat-trick. Let's stay on topic.

What did you think of the way he knocked down the puck before he ripped that third one home. Pretty talented play, no?

He sure had great hand eye coordination and presence of mind to do that in a short amount time.

Man does this thread need a cleaning. This is a hat trick thread.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

We're not going to relitigate the past and the Tavares/Islanders/Leafs outcome in here. Tavares is with the Leafs now and he scored a hat trick. That is the topic here.

Thank you.

Much appreciated!

We're trying to discuss the hat-trick in here and some people cannot stay on topic.

Just like @LeafChief said I also want to thank you for saying this.

 

[slimbob8]

I'm very surprised by his style of game. I had no idea before he got here that he had such a net front presence.

Wild game

I think it's his 9th total hat trick.
