I love Tavares but he's 36 years old. This was gonna happen eventually, impressive he's been viable for this long.
There is zero point to having an absolutely loaded top 6 if the play keeps dying on one guys' stick. He can't keep up with 88/92 or on PP1.
Time for a change.
Loafs got absolutely cooked by Ottawa in the third period, following that PP where they had 10 posts or whatever.
Just nasty stuff. Tavares' role needs to be significantly reduced and I would like a D to be able to move the puck.
