Some New York Islanders fans may want one particular player\u2019s face removed from the team\u2019s Quarter Century Mount Rushmore. Specifically, we\u2019re talking about former captain John Tavares.<\/p>\n
B\/R Open Ice has been running a series in which it has placed the club\u2019s best players from its Quarter Century<\/a> lists on a Mount Rushmore mock-up. The Islanders\u2019 version was published on August 27, and it featured Tavares as the first face from left to right.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no denying Tavares is a significant piece of Islanders\u2019 history. But given how things worked out, some fans may not be too enthusiastic about Tavares headlining the group.<\/p>\n The other three faces, Mathew Barzal, Brock Nelson, and Anders Lee, should not result in many objections from fans. If anything, Lee has endeared himself to Islanders lore. His mettle in taking over from Tavares as captain has made his time in Long Island a memorable one.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a look at the Islanders mockup:<\/p>\n The Islanders have two captains and a Calder Trophy winner on their quarter century Mount Rushmore \ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n B\/R\u2019s Lyle Richardson\u2019s full quarter century Mount Rushmore series \u27a1\ufe0f https:\/\/t.co\/TeRx6xx2Dg<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ZJUeX5Z2Y1<\/a><\/p>\n
