Pretty crazy that in the late game equalizer Tavares had the calm to pull that puck out from behind Luongo and make sure of it. Most guys would have just whacked at it and yeah likely still scored but still leaving that chance for it not to work out. Just an odd little thing that impressed me.
Yep. I didn't even know he scored. I was too busy yelling at the TV because I thought for sure Luongo had covered up Kulemin's shot. I think Luongo had the same thought. Even on the replay, I thought Tavares should have just backhanded it in. But he knew he had the time to do it his way. Just one of the 10000 reasons he's tying and winning a series clinching game & I'm on the couch.
The kind of thing that I meant when I said this:

Tavares around the net is simply amazing to watch.
Just amazing hands and awareness. He can hold onto the puck seemingly forever(and manages to somehow find the space to do it) to find a hole and put it in or get a better shooting angle.
