This except it'll be on the PP.Tavares scores 4:36 into the 1st period of the home opener against Montreal. Assisted by Mitch Marner and Morgan Rielly. Even Strength.
Won't be game one. Tavares will be held off the score sheet as the Leafs build a 5-0 lead after two periods against the Habs. Tavares is benched/rested in the third period as Gauthier takes his place.
Too bad, I was looking forward to the UFA battle. Tavares the Leafs 2018 UFA signing, and the Alzner the Habs 2017 UFA signing.
Pretty hot take: John Tavares will score a hat trick in his first game as a Leaf.
That would be terrible. It will prove he’s not better than Matthews who has four in his first game.
He’s gonna finish with 100 points at least
