'Did anyone actually listen to the interview? That question was asked completely in jest. Walker was laughing as he said it. Anyone could have picked up on that. Except, apparently, for Tavares, who made things really awkward by answering it seriously"

Tavares is the most serious person i have ever met. Plus He is very socially awkward ( any islander fans who met him can confirm this) and i dont think he knows what a joke is.

When did u meet him..?? just asking

U passed initiation, ur allowed to stay...
- Ur Not Me

Other than 2 Islanders fans saying Laffs think they're getting Tavares across most blogs in HB, I've not seen it be mentioned before. It's as if these two Islanders fans are dying to have their team relevant in conversation. Kinda like that DM Coga chap.

It's one of those plant the seeds type of jobs, then in two years blame it on someone else and others will believe it

Watching Islander fans and Ranger fans come together to hate on the leaf fans has really brought a tear to my eye

We are NY

Casino nights, autogrqph signings, ran into him once in roosevelt field mall and once at chaz rothmans steak house.

I'm so glad he came out and said that. I've maintained that he'd be an Islander for a long time.

Again, what did you expect him to say? He is signed for another 2 years for the Isles, it would be a SH!TSHOW if he made even a small gesture that he may play in the future for the Leafs, or any other team.

He could have given the same robot answer most pending UfAs do but instead he went into detail about how he wants to stay

Who knows maybe he will.leave maybe he wont but from what he said and how he said it he sounds committed.

Plus money wont be an issue there going to pay him.whatever he wants

Dear god the garf blogs if tavares isnt resigned asap...

I can tell for sure he ain't coming to the Laffs.

Dude doesn't like the spotlight and fishbowl atmosphere in Toronto (doubt that changes).

If (a big if) he leaves NYI, Buffalo is his choice

When is last time leafs just made the playoffs?

Also was it Phil Kessel that was keeping you from winning?

It's quite sad when fans from Canada think athletes born there are going to come back. I guess you guys should start to worry about Matthews leaving.

Getting trolled by Islanders fans, that's a first. You guys just lost your 2nd and 3rd highest scorers from last season for nothing. Then replaced them with Parenteau and Chimera. I'd maybe focus more on what direction you're headed, Leafs will be just fine.

To play with Moulson & KO....?? Slowest line in NHL

Yea keep telling yourself that Noel lol Tavares did what every player in the history of sport does and that is deny deny deny obviously. I don't buy it for a second. Oh yea there is that other thing when the team moves for a third time to Queens after next season we will see if Tavares can put up with that too after initially showing his discomfort moving to Brooklyn. But we got Auston anyways so we're good lol

Parenteau? The ex Laff?

That makes PAP, Grabbo and Kuli. That doesn't bode well

Christ dont all you leafs fans have your own thread to go talk about how good youre going to be in three years. So what if the question was in jest, jt answered it because maybe thats how he really feels and wants to stop all the nonsense that stamkos had to deal with. I get that Toronto is the quote unqoute center of the hockey universe but some people dont want that pressure or to play there just like some players dont want to play for the yankees. I think jt is the kind of guy that can handle that pressure but hes also a stand up guy thats loyal to his team and has always said hed like to play for one team. Now heres something all of you leafs guys can go stroke it to
ironic its going to be an american that pulls you out of your doldrums when none of the hometown boys want to come home to play.

theres always one great american every 50 years, we are lucky to have him

Him and his family like Buffalo (I know right? ). Got some business ventures with his uncle (some ex-Buffalo lacrosse player) in Buffalo apparently. Close family ties and close enough but far enough away from T.O

You Islanders fans are so gullible - you'll believe everything you hear.

He's coming to Toronto.

My brother works with a guy whose cousin went to school with Tavares' mom's sister.

My brother says that he said that the cousin talked to Tavares' aunt, who is scheduled to host the 2018 Thanksgiving dinner at her house. Tavares said "don't worry, I'll be there."

DO I NEED TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU PEOPLE?!?!?!?!?!?

P.S. Fix your damn logo.

Leafs fans and media are for the most part f*ing idiots.

Gretzky isn't even from around Toronto and those pos kept talking about him "coming back"... f*ing idiot media.

living in toronto, you find out first hand how aggressive, obnoxious, arrogant, and pretentious leafs can be... nothing against the minority of leafs fans who aren't like that and who can make rational comments on other teams boards and those who don't harass you in person when you wear some other team's sweater in the greater toronto area.

As soon as he gets released from his next sexual assault

Well his next sexual assault is happening probably never, so that makes sense.
