I am sure it helps that Tanguay wasn't there for the worst of it. As a former Wings fan, I certainly didn't associate him with the rivalry nearly as much as other players. He along with Hejduk sort of represented the young next generation of skilled players that weren't as relevant. You had the stars that were hated like Forsberg, Sakic, Roy and then also the heavies like Deadmarsh and Foote. But I wouldn't associate Tanguay too much with Avalanche stink especially since he moved around so much later in his career.
