1. That’s my captain

2. Nanny Knies looking after Tavares’ kids so he can get some sleep. What a great guy.

3. [He had a lot of offers from other teammates.](https://twitter.com/markhmasters/status/1647650357114200064?t=ck8F_VjBquwcNxcfKNafFg&s=19)

   Great choice. No offence to the younger guys that may have sent out an invite, but I bet JT has some nice home cooked meals everyday, and less Uber Eats. Johnny also has kombucha on tap.

4. So Knies is/will be a Kombucha fan then.

5. Common John Tavares W

6. Good guy John

7. Free kombucha

8. Taking over from Marleau as team Dad

10. Our captain ❤️ 💙

12. Even NHL-ers can’t afford Toronto real estate.

13. Good mentor for knies play style as well. Gets to see JT’s nutrition and work ethic on and off the ice. Both bigger players heavy on holding on to the puck and body in front of the net.

14. Love it. JT has a beauty house, Knies will be cozy there.
