On the cusp of breaking Gary Gait's all-time goal record, John Tavares should theoretically be excited about making history this season.
He couldn't care less.
Entering his 17th season five scores shy of tying Gait's 596 career goals, Tavares shrugs off the milestone almost as if it were a bad game.
He would rather get through it and move on.
"I don't like when I am approaching these records," he said. "I just like getting them out of the way and try not to let them be a distraction. But when you are asked all the time about it, it's natural that it becomes just that. So it's nice to just get it over with."
Tavares is concerned, rather, with a different affair. Namely, winning the championship and staying focused on the season.
