Maple Leafs John Tavares Provides Update on Health
Toronto Maple Leafs captain John Tavares had his season ended abruptly in 2020-21 after a gruesome hit to the head during the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Tavares not only suffered a concussion, he twisted his knee up in the collision. The Leafs captain recently spoke to the media and the update was extremely positive.Tavares met with the NHL network and had this to say about his health and outlook on next season:It's been a great offseason for myself, obviously from a health standpoint, but even more so I think just continuing to get back to work and try to get better and recover well, obviously I think some time really helps. I'm really fortunate that it wasn't anything much more than the incident and I really kind of came out of the hospital and I've been doing really well ever since and didn't really have any hiccups or any issues, just kind of kept building from there. So it's been a good offseason, I'm doing great.It was nice to just kind of get back out and working on some things I wanted to work on. Come off the injury and be on the ice a lot and get a good feel for my game and go from there and then just try to be out there with a good bunch of guys up here up north.Tavares finished last season with 19 goals and 31 helpers in 56 games. If he was healthy, Leafs Nation feels they could have closed out the Habs. There's always next year.Photo credit: John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports ...
