He's looked unsure of himself all night but has been mostly okay. That's the first time he made a really good, assertive play all night and he gets fucking called for it.
This is good. Eventually Berube is going to have to shuffle things up, and he's not taking Auston, Willy, or Mitch off of that unit. The sooner Tavares loses that spot, the better.
The hands and net drive will draw most of the attention, but maintaining possession and the cross ice back hand seam pass to McCabe is the type of linkage/IQ play I want to see from him there. We know he's big and has hands.
