Tanev on the bench: 78:01 TOI, we got outscored 10-4 and out-possessed heavily (41% xGF)


For comparison,
Giordano: 65:42 TOI, we got outscored 4-3 and out-possessed heavily (41% xGF).


So yeah, Tanev played more against McDavid than any other D-man on the team and dominated that matchup.
My God you didn't have to destroy ricardo like that

That is a *Mic drop* to its fullest degree

He should have chased McDavid off the ice.

Next part of the legend of the Flames greatness 2020/21 was that Andersson/Gio actually did the heavy lifting.

The Flames had a top-5 Defense d-man ON THE 2ND pairing.

He was great and better than the moderate expectations that he had when he was signed. With Zardov getting more than 3.2M it make Tanev's contract look better.
