Brandon Tanev just proved he is one of hockey's toughest defensemen last night. During the game between the Kraken and the Canucks, Tanev decided it was time to fight Connor Garland, and that is something that Garland likely regrets this morning.
During the fight, Garland was not able to get a single punch in, as Tanev unleashed a flurry of right uppercuts. It's not clear how many actually landed, but it is clear that the fight was entirely one-sided. Take a look for yourself.
The old-school fight reminded many hockey fans why they love the game, for it's toughness and grit. Tanev, of course, got the love he deserved online for his performance in the fight and was praised for his unanimous victory.
Clearly, Brandon Tanev is not a player that you want to mess with. The Kraken took the momentum from this fight to get a massive win against the Canucks, 5-2.
