All of Regehr, Warrener, and Noodles took pot shots at Tanguay for being soft, avoiding hits, not willing to grind it out for wins, not being a partner. I don't think it was actual hate, but how they delivered the jokes in my opinion showed that deep inside they didn't respect him. When you make repeated jokes and jabs at a player who wasn't even in attendance to hear or have a chance to defend himself I get the impression some of the locker room didn't care for his playing style.
