Very dirty. Only 2 minutes is a joke. Suspension worthy?

****ing dirty. I know Tavares has sucked it up this season but that just shouldn't be allowed. He should get suspended but he's a star player and a good ol Canadian boy to boot so no games.

Should have been intent to injure. Really petulant from Tavares.

Toss him a game and be done with it.

Part of me doesn't like the spear/splash given to where it happened on Zidlicky (and it was a bad time for Tavares to take a penalty). But part of me likes seeing Tavares get mad and stick up for himself.

What was Tavares so mad about? Did he think it was a knee on knee by Zidlicky?

I think it was just he has been frustrated about his play as of late. That should've been a 5 for spearing and that could be a suspension.

Tell you the truth, I almost want a game suspension on JT. Hopefully that will be his wake up call to take his head out of his ass and be the elite player he could be.

very dirty play, but he is Canadian star player it will get swept under the rug, now if he was a swede or russian that's 1 or 2-game suspension for sure

I'd like someone to get a clip of it and post.

I may be in the wrong here going off of memory but it looked like Zidlicky hit him low (JT has a weak knee) and maybe JT didn't like it so retaliated with the spear.

Again I am not condoning or defending JT, gotta see the clip again but as an Isles fan I hope he doesn't get suspended :P

I think Tavares deserves a game for that. You can't do that no matter what. I know he got injured and doesn't like being hit especially like that but that was a suicide pass and I don't think the Devils player was trying to hit him like that. There's no excuse for spearing a guy there.

Very surprised to see Tavares do that, he needs to control himself there. He is supposed to be a leader and teammates look up to him.

as an Islander fan I am thinking JT is upset he is in a scoring slump, shows where his head is when there is under 2 minutes in a tight game and he takes a penalty like that, reminiscent of Chris Simon 8 years ago
