that's right keep doing the little things well, keep making the effort. It will come.

[goleafsgo-oyni]

He’s always doing the right things out there. His heath isn’t full and you can tell. He was producing normal before. He just has to get back to himself and the second line is back to normal. Take care of yourself captain.

[craigharrison]

He went through a similar slump last year and was lighting it up by the end of the year.

Pulling for you J.T. Keep working Bud and they'll start hitting the back of the net!!

You are better than most at what you do

Too many people are focused on his point production in the last 10 games. He was the point leader before matthews and marner heated up, and is still near PPG. John Tavares although is not putting up points is doing everything else possible. Going in the corners, back checking, finishing checks, and is still a huge leader and locker room presence for this team. Honestly if JT can up his defensive game, idgaf about his points at all, like a Ryan O’Reilly or Patrice Bergeron. (Obviously not that good of a two way player, but is a rock that helps the team in lots of ways, and is a need for winning a cup. Don’t worry guys the team in general is going through a illness bug and JT will be back to his regular self very soon

If you have ever done a sport regularly like say golf you must have experienced honing your game down too what you thought was a great score. For me it was a one summer of cutting stokes down to mid 80's as a working man I was happy, Until I had a four sum hit 93 and for the rest of the season I was squeezing so hard I couldn't break 95. John will find it again.

Tavares will be fine. He was always not fast but he’s very smart and he knows how to play the game ❤️

[rosanne]

It’s ok JT! You made some amazing plays that resulted in goals. The scoring will come. Hang in there John! 💙

Why do the reporters get quieter and quieter every video you can literally not hear what they are saying

[nicholaswalls]

As long as yous make the playoffs that's what matters and once yas get there then worry about scoring

[bananahead]

Come on guys! The audio is crap! Unacceptable.

John :
I liked Your game lastnight .
I heard a reporter asking why You are not scoreing more .
I say You are the Captain .
Your job is to help the other guys score .
If 3 guys score on setups from You, thenYou are doing Your job .
If they are LEARNING from playing with You .
Then You are doing Your job .
And THAT'S why You are here .
Sabres next JT .
Beat them soundly .
Standings are getting tight .
Carpe' Diem .
( Sieze the Moment )
Your chance to finish at the Top is here .
However one mistake can cost You a lot .
Sabres know this also .
THEY ARE COMMING WI TH EVERYTHING THEY GOT .
With the intention of knocking You back down .
Panthers and Lightning are waiting for You to make that mistake also .
CARPE ' DIEM
Mike .

Why can't we hear the questions??? It's kind of useless to hear the players or coach answering a questions when we don't know what the f&%*k they're talking about. Come on, I'm sure you guys can afford a g-d microphone for the press

[timnoseworthy]

I feel like he hasn't been right since he had covid

[rusticron]

John and Joe Campbell is not playing well at the moment.
Looks like a first round exit again 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Brettfowler]

We can’t hear the god dammed
questions !!! Haven’t been able to hear them for two years. Are they in the room wearing giant masks or remote ? Fix this or stop doing them. How hard can this be ?

[tml]

Your really good and all but your paid too much….really hurts what we can do…wish your contract was only 8 mil

[staffanscheib]

the puck has not gone in for 3 yrs now, 11 million for 17 goals what a joke, time to give matthews the captaincey he is the real drive for the leafs, maybe being leaf captain is too much preasure, give it up and work on your game, he is maybe a 4 million dallar player now
