Tanguay asked for a trade from Calgary the first time around, which is why he was labeled as a pouter. IIRC up until he was traded many of the fans on this site actually stood up for Tanguay and thought that Keenan was mishandling him. It was after we all learned that he asked for a trade that he was labeled as a pouter by the fan base.

I think he was unfairly labeled as pouting in the weeks after the Iginla trade because he was not producing and looked disinterested.

Think that was less pouting and more him knowing that he no longer had a role on this team and was probably told he was going to be moved. It wasn't that the fan base ran him out of town the second time around, he was moved because he no longer had a role.
