Five seasons have passed since John Tavares left the New York Islanders and joined the Toronto Maple Leafs. Despite Tavares' consistent performance, the Leafs have failed to make it past the first round of playoffs, which was one of the reasons why he was brought to the team. During a recent match between the Islanders and the Maple Leafs, an Islanders fan threw a Maple Leafs jersey, presumably with Tavares' name on it, onto the ice. Although some fans may have found the incident amusing, the fan was escorted out of the arena.

It is disheartening that, even after five years, some fans are still fixated on Tavares' departure. The Islanders have performed better in the playoffs than Tavares has since his move to Toronto, making it time for fans to focus on the team's current playoff run. The Islanders hold the first wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference with 82 points and defeated the Maple Leafs 7-2 in the match.
