Returning home from Sochi, Russia, New York
Islanders Captain John Tavares was still in favour of NHLers playing in the
Olympics despite his season-ending injury. He wasn’t shy to address the issue,
nor was he reluctant to not use the word “obviously” in nearly every sentence
he spoke to reporters.
“It’s obviously a tough situation,” said Tavares while commenting on his torn ACL suffered during Team Canada’s semi-final game against Latvia. “We obviously know the risks when we’re on the ice and it’s obviously a tough pill to swallow, but obviously it happens…Obviously,” he said.
With only two questions remaining in the interview, Tavares had used 29 “obviouslys” already and was gearing towards finishing off his comments with a few more.
“As hockey players, we obviously want to stay healthy. I obviously wanted to help my team win, make the playoffs obviously. Obviously it’s frustrating,” added Tavares before leaving the locker room only to look back at nearby arena staff and mutter “Obviously” to no one in particular. As of press time, reporters remained clueless as to how many god-damn times players use that word, right before Jonathon Toews spoke and used obviously nearly a hundred times in under a 2-minute span.
