Despite what many may have believed before, it is now official: John Tavares is the best player there ever was in the National Lacrosse League, statistically speaking. Last Saturday night, Tavares netted his 597th career goal to surpass Gary Gait’s career record of 596. He did this by scoring his fourth goal of the game at 13:08 of the third quarter in the Bandits win over the New York Titans. Even though Tavares now holds the all-time scoring records for goals, assists and points he is not finished. This season is only 3 games old for the Bandits so Tavares has 13 more in which to increase his totals and given the good young talent coming into the league in the recent past, he might need every last one of them to lengthen his reign. Now that Tavares has finished that business he can focus all his attention on leading Buffalo to the Champion’s Cup final. Congratulations, JT and Let’s Go Bandits!
