“This game would be a lot easier if I had eyes in the back of my head”
And you thought I was too slow. See yah!
The Blueprint
Don’t look at the camera, just look natural. Here’s hoping they get my good side for my rookie card!
“Did you really just go by “crop-dusting” me?!?! You so nasty!”
I’m so glad I don’t have to see DePietro back there anymore.
HEY! where did the “C” on this shoulder go?
“No, I don’t play Lacrosse!!”
“…on the catwalk, on the catwalk, yeah I do my little turn on the catwalk…”
Is that Kate Upton??!!
John Tavares is saying or at least thinking:
“Hey come at me now! Were actually doing good this year!”
“Come on guys, pass me the puck! I promise I’ll score. Pretty please?”
To me the picture looks like he’s waiting for a pass so he can explode up ice. Just my take on it, lol.
Hey did anyone get his number
-JT91 Thinking To Self- “Take one good look at the past and say goodbye. You’ve made it to the show… It’s time to make your mark.”
Super Man John Tavares…….leader of Team Canada 2009…….next stop New York Islanders team Captain and trying to lead them to a Stanley Cup in 2014/2015. ….no joke a realistic possibility………..can he lead them to the Holy Grail!!!!
What? We’re supposed to wear the Captain Highliner jerseys tonight? Greeeeeaaaaat.
“Do these shorts make my butt look big?”
1st overall draft pick and all eyes are on me….not sure how I can keep my eyes on all of them!
Don’t look now, but the Rangers aren’t New York ‘ s best team anymore!
“SQUIRREL!”
I swear someone just tapped me on the shoulder. Where’d they go?
SIDNEY WHO?
He did not just try to steal my Doritos…
Look how fast I am. There’s smoke back there!
Who said hindsight is 20/20 ?? i’m gonna bury 50!
To Nazem Kadri his former London Knight teammate “Hey Nazem, How’s Toronto working out for you?” as he snickers.
Nazem was drafted 7th in 2009 while JT was 1st.
This face right here will be hoisting Stanley’s Mug in the next 5 years
Wow these guys got beards
First overall pick and all I got was this ugly sweater!
No no no……. That corner has a slight touch. There goes the pristine grade
I’ll win the stare down every time Ref!
Over here! I ordered the New York style pizza!
Go!! JohnNY GO!!!
Sheesh, they weren’t kidding. The game IS a lot faster at this level.
I’ll sign autographs later, I gotta go in now!
Wow, sure glad I shaved today…Did they get my good side
On your Right!
Hold on a second… It would be so cliche to run into something right now…
They said joining the NHL is tough, and man were they right.. looks like a deer in the headlights lol
“Looking back I can see how bad we were.”
Whew! Drafty in here. Glad I was too young in 2008.
Can’t believe Fashion Models do this all the time! Can’t hold this pose for much longer! Tell me you got the pic!
“I sure hope this hockey thing works out, if not the zamboni looks like a fun ride!” 😉
We could sure use Trottier now …
This was John’s rookie season so he was thinking ” Where is everyone? There were more fans at my Oshawa Generals game!”
“Whoa…… I can see May 2015 and the New York Islanders are in the playoffs and in a new arena as well??? Hopefully nobody messes with Doc Brown’s flux capacitor and creates an alternate universe where we are still playing in the Nassau Colliseum. “
“I know that I am one of the best rookies in the NHL but did that inadvertent shot actually go in? I hear the crowd roaring so I guess it is another fluky goal on my fave Vesa Toskala. Now only another 800 till I beat Gretzky on the all time list!!”
Since when did goalies wear helmets?!?!?!?
“Is that the Stanley Cup?”
