How dare you leave out Lord Larson - oilpatch
He transcends "conferences". He exists upon a plane of existence that the common-folk can only hope to conceptualize. His is the purest elite talent that seeing it would actually blind us so- for our the sake of all of humanity- He holds back His true strength to make Himself seem ordinary to the uninitiated. Bless Him in His infinite compassion. Praise be unto Lord Larsson; PRAISE BE UNTO HIM!

Auston Matthews doesn't even make the top 5 on anyone's list? Ridiculous. |

It wouldn't be a Tanner blog post without him randomly selecting metrics to make his points.
Between all of his selections, his choices have a combined 0 Norris trophies, 0 Conn Smythe trophies and 1 All-star appearance (6 years ago by Suter.)
Granted, choosing the best players in a team sport is very subjective, but here is an objective perspective - Zero Stanley cup winners. That is the goal, right? Or is it cherry-picking regular season stats? |

Jake Muzzin is the quite the analytical darling. Best ever. Haha kidding. Tanner listed good defense man but can't help but think he's trying to provoke something |

If Giroux played in the Western Conference and Defense, he wouldn't be on the list anyway. |

Getting sick and tired of these bloggers(Tanner isn't the only one though he's by far the worst) posting their radical opinions for sake of argument/debate/clicks/attention rather than stating what is factually correct.
If you wanna go about things this way, then change the name of the headline/article all together. Instead of calling it "top 5 Dman in th Western Conference"(which it surely isn't), call it "My sleeper picks" or "Most underrated in my opinion" or something along those lines.
If any hockey fans that were new to this site came here and read this garbage they surely wouldn't return unless its to laugh/mock how stupid the opinions are. Essentially by writing these ridiculous articles you're making a laughing stock of your own site. Its embarrassing. No Doughty....no Pietrangelo....No Burns....No Subban/Josi....No Klingberg.........yet JOSH (frank)ING MANSON makes the list? Dude.....you're (frank)ing retarded. Stop lying for the sake of attention, its gotten very old very fast. |

Agreed. Cept OEL at 5.
The greatest trick Claude Giroux ever pulled was convincing the World that he didn't exist.
How do you shoot Claude Giroux in the back? What if you miss?

Tanners original list was recovered:
1. David Runblad
2. Cody Franson
3. Jake Muzzin
4. OEL
5. John Chayka - PatShart
Ya. When I saw Tanner contributed (???)....I fully expected Franson and Runblad to make the list!!!! |

And Burns is not a D-man, he played forward before he played D-man....so he doesn't qualify.

The absence of Drew Doughty as one of the top 5 on James Tanner convinces me that I have been right all along about Tanner’s hockey knowledge |
