Paul Bissonnette Expresses Outrage at Islanders Fans, Criticizes Their Treatment of John Tavares Following His 1000-Point Milestone
Drafted 1st overall by the Islanders in 2009, John Tavares joined the Maple Leafs in 2018, and Isles' fans still haven't swallowed that pill.
Every time he returns to Long Island, it's special. Isles' fans make it their mission to welcome him with loud booing.
Tavares Scores 1000th Point Against Former Team
Last night, the Maple Leafs were visiting the Islanders, and Tavares reached an impressive milestone during the game: he registered his 1000th career point.
Not only that, he scored his 1000th point with seven seconds left in the game, forcing an overtime period.
When he scored, the Leafs' bench cleared, and players joined their captain for the celebration, all this under relentless boos from the fans.
They didn't think about congratulating him, even though he scored 621 points for the Islanders. He became the 98th player in NHL history to reach this milestone.
The renowned Paul Bissonnette wasn't too happy about that.
