People in other cities really don't understand Tanev's game at all. I've seen other teams' fans talk about getting him to crush opponents in the boards or in front of the net.
Tanev is an elite positional defenceman who blocks shots, wins pucks, stops passes, makes neat exit passes and can skate very adequately. He is not a punishing defenceman and more than he is a scoring defenceman.
