Toronto Maple Leafs veteran forward John Tavares has always done his talking on the ice.
Tavares, who at 35 years of age and in his 17th NHL season, has always been looked upon in the NHL world as a reserved and loyal teammate who is an exceptional leader who would do anything to help out a teammate.
During his illustrious career, which includes nine years with the New York Islanders, before signing on July 1, 2018, as an unrestricted free agent with the Leafs, this current 500-goal scorer doesn't duck the media.
Recently, Tavares made headlines and this time it wasn't for an on-ice accomplishment but rather for an honest answer this quiet superstar gave in an interview following a Sunday night game, which saw them squander a two goal lead in a 5-4 loss against the Carolina Hurricanes.
