The Boots and Hearts charity Barn Burner took place on Wednesday night in Barrie, ON. The game raised $155,000 for local charities and included names like John Tavares, Andrew Mangiapane, Tyler Seguin, Quinton Byfield and even Gary Roberts. Team Denim and Team Plaid finished the game in a 14-14 tie.
Tavares scored this absolutely filthy goal in the shootout segment of the game. It looks like he's having a much better offseason than last year, his hands look quicker than we've seen in the past. He also looks like he's having a lot more fun. All of this bodes well for Tavares to have a strong bounce back season after a year that saw his goal scoring drop off.
