I have seen Tanner play several times and I must say the kid is not a "Dirty" player, does he do some off the ball stuff sure but he is not doing it with the intent to harm the other player. I would say that I have seen him play over 20 games and not once have I witnessed him hurt another player with intent. Like stated above he is a hard nosed player who plays with his emotions on his sleeve. To me he is the kid you hate when he is against you, but you would love to have him on your side.
