Yeah it was a pretty amazing goal. Not very often that happens, which speaks volumes about the teams they're playing as well.

awesome goal. i don't know anything else about this tavares guy though. is he always this flashy/talented?

Well, he broke Wayne Gretzky's record for most goals in a season as a 16-year-old. And he was drafted into the OHL as a 14-year-old (youngest player to be drafted, only Bobby Orr was younger to play, as he was signed rather than drafted).

His hype kind of fizzled out a bit because of a disappointing season last season (40 goals after his 70+ the year before). With 25 goals in 31 games this year, though, the hype is back -- and apparently he's been working on other aspects of his game -- defensive play, skating, etc. to be a more all-around player. Projected 1st or 2nd pick in this year's draft.

Sucks for him though to think about that he'll probably be teaming up with Stamkos in Tampa or in St. Louis

The thought of him teaming up with Stamkos in Tampa is an unbelievable thought, but if Tampa has 1st pick, it would be in their best interest to draft Hedman instead.

Why? Because of his size?? If they get the no. 1 pick, there's no way they won't take JT.
