John Tavares leads the way as captain
John Tavares continues to emerge as the New York Islanders top player but is hidden in the New York landscape.
John Tavares has finally arrived as a mini superstar. In a city that has eight major sports teams, one player can easily get lost in the crowd. While Tavares has quietly been saving the Islanders for years, now more people than ever see it happen.
The Islanders have been the team New York knows little about and sometimes forgets about, leaving Tavares quietly behind in the list of sports superstars in this city. However what he has recently done in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs has gotten him more attention.
