Tavares could play some Whitesnake songs.

Here I go again on my own
Playing with only the second NHL team I've ever known
Like a Hossa I was signed to bring the Cup home
But I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I goooooooooooooo...

I still think it would be better if he spoke, or sang, in a Vader deep monotone. It would be like Barry White singing Whitesnake.

I'm sorry but in the real world when you make that kind of money and the boss needs you to be away from your family for 1 month or 2, you do it.

This isn’t the real world?

Tavares actually sang this before each game to Mike Babcock. In his monotone Barry White voice. Matthews didn't like it so Tavares stopped doing it.

Darling, I, can't get enough of your love Babs
Girl, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
I can't get enough of your love Babs
Oh no, Babs

Covid has been here for months now....they should have polled players before starting this whole process.(playoffs)

Is it a surprise that they are playing now?

The NHL can’t control who is willing and unwilling to play. While they’d prefer everyone participates (especially star players) the important thing to them is to try and get some hockey going so the league to make money.

Aha.

That's a giveaway right there.

Why didn't Matthews like it, then?

Well Matthews is a big John Fogerty fan. He's a Fortunate Leafs son. But his favourite song is Center Ice. He was very bitter about Babs limiting his ice time in the third period of game 7 vs Boston last year.

Ooohh
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be, Center Ice

Did he take a holding penalty before that? Then Babs probably told him the Centre CANNOT hold, dammit.

Also, I met Fogerty once in Oregon. Best blues voice to emerge from a white man's larynx it is said, and I concur. Seen many of their shows.

It was in Eugene. He was playing an acoustic set, he was older then, and not in great voice that night.

Be careful with that ax in Eugene, I told him.

EDIT: Before someone pounces, his shows singing their songs (not THAT old)

I can totally understand players opting out.
That being said I’m not in the overly concerned camp in regards to the wuhan virus.
I don’t trust the WHO or CDC. There are plenty of reputable doctors who have been vocal about taking precautions but no need to crash national economies.
Going out protesting, burning down cities, attending spring breaks, or going grocery shopping then visiting gramma isnt a smart idea.
This sucks for marginal players because let’s face it they won’t get the same leeway as bonafide roster players.
One can only hope the world will be smarter from this but sadly I’m not so optimistic.
Far to many people who have influence look to profit from issues such as the Wuhan virus.
On one hand I’m looking forward to seeing hockey on the other hand it’s summer and it doesn’t seem right.
Not going to lie, as a. Flyers fan and the Flyers win the cup this year it’s not going to feel the same for me.

You know, no offense, but you remind me of my mother-in-law's Uncle Buck (yeah, she really had an Uncle Buck).

His sister (my wife's grandmother) had died. It was at the viewing. Uncle Buck took a shine towards me, for reasons unknown. Started talking with dead body just a couple of feet away.

Memorable first words, since engraved in my mind:

UB: "Young man, you believe in the gubmint?"
Me: mumbles uncertainly.
UB: "Well, I don't. Don't believe them since they claimed they sent a man to the moon."
Me: "You don't think they went to the moon?"
UB: "HELL No. They went to COLORADO. Would know that ground anywhere. Been there myself."
Me: Looks at dead body, feels kind of strange.
UB, sidling in closer for the killer: "I will prove it to you. Explain something to me. If they are on the moon then who's taking them pictures?"

Umm actually it is.

Thanks. Just checking.

Last chance to make offers on my "King Alex" LA Kings jersey. It's the home jersey for those who asked. So far the best offer I've received is a Blackhawks jersey with "Doughty" on it. It seems another reader misinterpreted what E5 meant. Anyway, if that's the best offer I'm just going to keep my "King Alex" jersey and hope maybe someone takes Byfield first, or just tell people I'm a big Alex Iafallo fan.

Keep confederate statues upright? Virus isn’t that concerning? Leftist protesters are the root cause and trying to politicize a pandemic.

This outlook is why the world is looking at America as a giant car wreck. Check back with us in two weeks about this “hoax” bud

I'm starting a Go Fund Me for Komorov, Khunackle & Ladd to opt out. I'm aiming to cover their cab fare to the airport.

I'm 29 and I had covid. Was nothing more than a cold that knocked me on my ass for a week.

I still cant go to the gym but I can protest with 40k people IF diblasio agrees with the cause

I dont judge amy player who sits out, family is everything in this life. I will judge that both hub cities are in canada.
