BROOKLYN For a moment on Saturday, nobody was talking Ron Jaworski Jersey about the uncertainty around John Tavares' future. From the second that Tavares' image was shown on the scoreboard at Barclays Center, a notable roar erupted from the Brooklyncrowd. Tavares was home and if this was to be his final homeopener with the Islanders, he was going to put on a spectacle for the Isles faithful.Tavares needed aminute and50 seconds to send the decible level through the roof. It was fitting that the first Islanders goal of the season came at the hands of theircaptain, Tavares, and forward Jordan Eberle, whom the Isles envisioned asan offensive catalyst when they aquired him from the Edmonton Oilers.First point for . First goal of the season for .Deadly duo. NHL (@NHL) "First goal is always big," Clayton Thorson Jersey Tavares said. "I think anytime you can get a lead here it's important.It was nice to get one early and then execute on an odd-man rush,so it was a good feeling."Despite playing alongside Eberle for onlya handful of games,Tavares feels comfortable with him on his wing. "He's got great hockey sense and great hands around the net. Very reliable all over the ice."The shared confidence in one another was prevelant on the Brandon Brooks Jersey goal as Eberle said he 'was able to find Tavares and he was able to finish it off'; even as thesliding Sabres defenseman Matt Tennyson blockedthe pa sing lane and Marco Scandellaon Eberle's tail.Tavares, who totaled nearly 20 minutes of ice time in thewin over the Buffalo Sabres,captainedboth the Isles powerplay and penalty kill on Saturday. Hedideverything that was neededfor the Islanders to claim their first win of the season.During the team's penalty kill early in the second period, he struck the back of the net again. Wes Hopkins Jersey This time the play showcased a sudden aggre sivene s fromTavares, who peeled towards the net and slid the puck under Sabres goaltender Robin Lehner."I just came off the bench," Tavares said. " NikolayKulemin did a good job of squeezing them over to the far side and I just read him dropping the puck back and was able to time it right.Lehner likes to be aggresive, so once I went to my backhand I saw him streched out so I tried to slide it through the five-hole."Forward Casey Cizikas scored 50 seconds later and Josh Bailey scored under a minute after Cizikas. By the time the in-arena announcer finished reading out Tavares' second Brandon Graham Jersey goal, the Islanders were up 4-1. Lehner was chased out of the net.While Tavares' Islanders were held scorele s in their season opening lo s to the Blue Jackets,Islanders head coach Doug Weight creditsTavares with 'gra srooting' the offensive tone of Saturday's effort.
