Serious question, can anyone explain?

[BrockBoester]

I've been noticing this since about the beginning of this season.

 

Pre 2019-2020 season, was our defenseman not most commonly referred to as "Chris Tanev"?

 

When did the decision get made to start calling him "Christopher", and why, in your opinion?

 

Can anyone speculate? Would this have been a request from "Christopher" himself to start using his full first name? Did the commentators say it once and it just caught on? Or is it possibly a Bettman/Reptilian controlled conspiracy?

 

I'm just having difficulty adjusting every time I hear him called "Christopher Tanev" now and I'm wondering if anyone has an idea why the change took place.

 

Please note this is not one of my "joke" threads - I am genuinely curious if anyone knows what happened here! I'm actually losing sleep over it as we speak.

I remember when they switched John and John said it was his preference to now be called Christopher Tanev.

 

Unusual to go in that direction but hey I guess it’s up to him. 

[You Mad Bro?]

1am Wednesday morning thread start wondering what Tanevs name preference is haha. Just as bad me posting here at 5am lol

A serious question would be where did  The minus go!

[D.B Cooper]

I was jazzed to give this thread a big old minus, but the button is already gone.  

[captainhorvat]

He was definitely injured more under "Chris Tanev" haha

[JeremyCuddles]

I call him CDog Tan-diggidy, we tight like that.

[linden17]

His name is Robert Paulson

[Abysmal Moniker]

It's spelled Christopher Tanev, but it's pronounced Throat Warbler Mangrove.

@clutch stole it back. every few months @StealthNuck is able to snag it away for the day, but clutch eventually gets it back.

It happened when his brother changed teams in the summer.

 

Prior, he was known to teammates as Bran, or Tanman, which didn't bother Chris, also known here as Tanman, as Chris has one more letter than Bran.

 

But with his new team, Bran let it be known that henceforth he'd like to be called Brandon, which gave Chris problems. - more letters in the name, with family pecking order consequences.  He considered Chrissy, same number but a little weird and Christie, but that was a bridge too far. 

 

So he settled on Christopher,  and the rest is history.

rumour has it Burrows' success has defeated @clutch over the years, and it continues to defeat him to this day.

Then how come @StealthNuck can't bring it back full time if his defeated? Ha gotta question stealth's toughness now ha

Ah, glad to hear it's not just me that is having trouble adjusting to the change!

 

Kudos to googlie for the theoretical explanation!

[GB5]

Why isn't TanMan an option????

 

This name works better for me. Other than that he can call himself whatever he wants, Chris, Christopher, Chrissy,......whatever.
