Went down to Climate Pledge to watch Bedard live for the first time (he sucked balls, only had like one good look which he got nothing but glass, deserves this rough start because of the cocky white tape job), but anyway I was very impressed by Brandon Tanev's hustle, throughout the game.

Only thing that bothered me was that the guy is constantly yapping for a pass at all times, like dude you aren't that good.

Still happy that he scored even if it was a gross empty netter.

cocky white tape job
This is perhaps the greatest criticism I've ever heard of a player.

How dare he use white stick tape. Who does he think he is, Sam Lafferty??

It should be reserved for only the most skilled players, guys like Miles Wood and Zemgus Girgensons.

Otherwise, you should have to use black stick tape, like Crosby, Mackinnon, and all the other benders in the league.

This reminded me of the 'Kris Letang being the first white player' in that legendary shitpost all those years ago.

On this note, I was thinking how crazy it is that Casey Cizikas still has the same hustle he’s had for fourteen years now. Motor for life.

I don’t think you’ll find a single negative word about BT’s hustle or work ethic. Guy earned every penny that he’s ever been paid in the NHL, we have fond memories of him in Winnipeg (and I’m sure Pittsburgh does too).
As a pens fan I can say I absolutely loved Tanev in Pittsburgh. Works hard every shift and seems like a good fun guy.

Also, I can’t believe this website is free with this kind of content lol.

Relevant for any single one of you bitching about the existence of this thread:

Your life is too damn good if this makes the list of things to complain about. Be thankful.

I’ve never played ice hockey but I feel it would be a tad harder to pick up the puck as a goalie with black tape because the puck is black

Tanev was awesome for the Penguins, just a super easy guy to root for. Not sure I miss the 2024 version of Tanev simply because he has declined, but Tanev at his best was a really nice bottom-6 guy that would give 110% every shift.
