He described Domi, 5-foot-10, 194-pound, as a "fire hydrant," even when the puck drops, he's more likely to light one up!
"Domi on being told that Tavares recently referred to him as a fire hydrant: 'Fire hydrant? That checks out for sure ... Genetically is probably the main thing. My dad's not the tallest guy but he is pretty much a square. Kind of the same sort of thing I have going.' #Leafs"
Tavares also added this about his new teammate:
"A lot's been made about the competitiveness and being in your face and all that which is part of his personality. But he's a playmaker. He's extremely quick and very strong."
Well, let's hope the "fire hydrant" has a great season!
