No Doubt Why Canucks Tanev is Referred to as 'Dad"

[@clarissasabile]

He was a rookie in the 2011 playoff run..... love tanev

[@jtotheroc]

Lol he looks like Drew Daughtys long lost twin brother.

[@DeepDiveHockey]

Lol

[@geoffreyhastings9576]

What if he is? 🤭

[@davidovics92]

or a skinny sopel

[@drewgamble4713]

I hope they resign him. Can't see Tanev in another jersey.

[@flowmastaflam]

They will, some guys you don't let go. He's always been a heart and soul guy of the team! He's the type of guy who'd give up a minor pay cut so that the team can succeed.

[@evanelliott9880]

Flowmasta Flam as someone who roots for his brother Brandon, I completely agree. The Tanev boys are guys you want on your team

[@blazin1397]

he’s getting traded eventually buddy, hughes is a player that won’t

[@dennisgreen835]

Blazin wings he’s not gonna get traded buddy he’s to much of a role model

[@kyleiscool4576]

Guess what. He's on the damn flames.

[@TrevorPhilips]

Tanev was undrafted and got scouted as a f.a. by his ex roller hockey coach a rookie during the Cup Finals run, other than Edler is a lifelong _Mr Canuck_ - Daddy Canuck similar to the Sedins, I hope he retires a Canuck

[@TrevorPhilips]

wasn’t Burrows undrafted and scouted our of ball hockey or roller hockey too? lol BTW what I meant by that is that it’s partially why the scout checked him out again - not that it was a favour. he obvs earned his spot.

[@EricN604]

The ripple effect of the Sedins mentorship on the organization

[@h.p.6223]

The Sedins were class guys and it probably rubbed off on Taney as well

[@ericachow3554]

Why did this comment make me cry

[@sunnygill8323]

We all love you TANEV, I hope your with the Canucks next year

[@Eclipse_Coffee]

You have to love the chemistry of the team

[@EdLau]

It's great to see guys like Tanev and Edler continuing the traditions, work ethic and team identity passed down from the Sedins, who got it from Markus Naslund, who got it from Trevor Linden, who got it from Stan Smyl, and that's about how far I can go back in my Canuck fandom. Ya love to see it.

[@doublestrokeroll]

I'd say that's probably where it started with all due respect to the players on the team prior to that.

[@nhlvan]

Well we gotta re sign him now

[@canucksfan1961]

I will miss Taney he was are best defender thanks for sending us to round 2 in 2020

[@LBJordan1]

Stuff like this shows just how close this team is

[@outthewindowproductions9212]

Canucks are a true canadian team with an amazing locker room and amazing atmosphere always Maple shlts fans talking shlt but canucks are a real hearted team

[@CowButter]

:), they better resign him

[@MrTheWanz]

As long as he doesnt want 5mil+

[@gadgetgangster]

He's a right shot defencemen he could get 6.5-8 depending on the team. Right shot that play top 4 minutes are hard to find

[@tuomasvalta]

@@gadgetgangster Are you on drugs? No one is going to pay him that kind of money. All their cap troubles go away if they let him and Edler walk.

[@frankiepappalardo4281]

DeadlyCatfish he’s getting paid 4.4 mil though so he’s probably gonna want over 5

[@gadgetgangster]

Clearly you don't know what you're talking about. It's fine man but people overpay all the time. He's a very solid right shot D that can play top 4 minutes on any team.

[@brandonmuller2327]

As a Bruins fan, I would love to see a Canucks vs Bruins finals. I'm glad the Canucks have a good team. The team seems like a tight knit group

[@jtotheroc]

How would you feel about VGK vs bruins??

[@flowmastaflam]

it's looking like Avs vs Bruins but hey I wouldn't complain if the Nucks somehow pull it off haha!

[@aintiswift]

you just want to see them destroy their city again lmao

[@flowmastaflam]

@@aintiswift Yeah I guess there is quite of a lot of that happening in America right now, probably nice to see someone else do it once in a while!

[@Anticipat0r]

as a canuck fan i can say f u

[@historyrepeating]

I remember Brock posted a pic of Tanev with the caption “Dad” during the season. It was after he scored a big OT goal as well 🏒

[@tylerdowd]

I'm rooting for Vancouver now that my Caps are out!

[@doublestrokeroll]

I remember during the finals against Boston when he stepped in, and just being so much in awe of his defensive abilities that he stole my attention away from the fact it was the finals. It was amazing to watch. Thinking damn who is this kid? As Bieksa once said after game 5 of the finals; “He could have played the game with a cigarette in his mouth, he’s so calm and cool out there.” and this gem “It’s almost like he’s clueless,” Bieksa said. “It’s the Stanley Cup final, Game 5, huge game. And it’s like he’s going for a Sunday skate out there."

[@danielkarlsson258]

This shows once again how important it is to have all kind of people in a squad to make it work. Props to you, Tanev!

[@markrouch4159]

1st goal for tanev is in the playoffs! wow so happy for him

[@shakebooty]

First playoff goal, not first goal

[@markrouch4159]

@@shakebooty true haha my bad

[@mary-anneswanson9931]

Chris Tanev has been my favorite Canuck for a long time . He may not be a top goal scorer but he can do it all. If you want to learn how to be a great all round player ...watch Tanev :)

[@kylef4357]

One of the most underrated defensemen in the NHL

[@lukeb6601]

If he leaves Vancouver I’d cry No Joke

[@steveraney6125]

I'm a Bruins fan, however, you give respect to people who deserve it. And he is a workhorse for that teams defense. Good for him. I hope he wins a cup. Just not this year. Lol

[@tysoncodes]

I really wonder what he eats for dinner with that lone tooth.

As a Pens fan I want the Canucks to win one bad. I really thought the Sedin era would get it done. They were both 100 point players

[@cpegg5840]

We’ll get one in my prediction between 2021 and 2025, somewhere in there

[@manpreet2826]

Loved this guy from the start!

[@eddixon2015]

When they beat the Blues yesterday, as happy as I was for the young core, I was happiest for Edler and Tanev, those dudes have been awesome servants to the team, and I’m so glad they stayed long enough to win another series.

[@alancrow2053]

I needed this video

[@akaskulls]

Am I the only one coming back to this video and watching it again getting real sad?

[@verytalkative585]

I clicked like before I watched. You say Tanev and I give a thumbs up.

[@womaneater44]

So awesome I literally forgot he was on that team that lost to the Bruins,like bo said were lucky to have him

Reminds me of Borocop in Ottawa, maybe not as good as Tanev on the ice but a phenomenal guy
