Dee Karl: "It's Going To Hurt a Little Bit" - Readying for Game 2

"It's going to hurt a little bit." John Tavares told Greg Picker and the other reporters today about what it will take to win a game, Friday's game.

Kris Letang crushes John Tavares during Penguins win

In a race for the puck during the second period, Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang knew he was going to be hit and decided to initiate contact first.  Letang absolutely leveled New York Islanders forward John Tavares with this hit using his back, sending him almost parallel with the ice.  I think that Letang’s hit was a bit questionable, especially since neither of them...

Eklund: Could Tavares Swipe Hart Trophy w/ Late Push?

Prior to suffering a broken jaw, it was almost a foregone conclusion that Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby was destined to skate off with the second Hart Trophy of his NHL career. Now there is at least a possibility that another candidate could make a last-moment push and grab the MVP trophy. My alternative choice: John Tavares. The New York Islanders' center has...
