Another huge add for Team Canada at the Men’s World Hockey Championship. Toronto Maple Leafs captain John Tavares has agreed to represent his country and will join the team today.

    I don’t remember the last time a toronto maple leaf played at the world’s championship. Pretty cool

    Leafs playing at the world championship… It’s like clockwork I tell you

    Good to see a big name like Tavares get involved, the relationship with Dubas probably influenced his decision to go. Dubas wanted Crosby to play so was clearly looking for an experienced player to lead what is an overall quite young squad.

    Can’t see JT being picked for the Four Nations or next Olympics so this is probably one of his last chances to represent Canada.

    Canada v Great Britain tomorrow and I must say I’m fearful it could end up a real doing – double figures kinda result – if Canada plays to their skill level. But a great opportunity for the Team GB players to compete against players of the quality of Tavares and Bedard etc

    I’m certainly surprised to see this. Tavares had a bit of a rough season. He was his steady self and then kind of went into a rut when the winter months arrived. I’m glad to see him going out there still trying to prove himself.

    Am I the only one who doesn’t give a shit about these updates? Yeah he’s playing because he gave up on his actual team being paid north of 11M. Fuck off I hope he retires
