The Career of Tony Tanti 

Hi from Germany, born 89 Tony Tanti was my first favorite Player and is to this day! He played for my childhood team from western Berlin and was a force, as he came to Germany the league was named „Bundesliga“ as you said, it was renamed „DEL“ i believe at 94/95 Season. So Bundesliga and DEL means the same league. Thanks for the video, keep on going

Tanti was traded for Ken Priestlay, who whilst a decent depth player in the NHL/minors came to Britain and became an absolute legend. Many former Penguins would ultimately follow him to our humble league.

Nice to see Tanti get some love. He was a bright spot on those terrible 80's teams.

I remember my dad saying that during the 1980s Tanti was often the player that gave fans something to cheer for. To have essentially a 40 goal scorer, five years in a row during those dark days is something to be celebrated.

As a lifelong Canucks fan Tanti was and is my favorite Canuck of all time! Thanks for the video.

I always wondered what happened to Tanti, thanks for this video, I remember Tanti as being a master at the art of the deflection

Forgotten player, except for the THG HOF! In those days I never followed the other conferences so barely remember him, his name showing up in box scores. Don't play for doormats, classic line. Those are good totals for the talent around him and can only imagine what he'd be like with a great chemistry linemate. Just as you say, he'd be better remembered.

Had he played on the Gretzky line and Kurri played Tanti’s role he might have 1000 points today.

One of my all time favorite players. Made me a Canucks fan. Great at tipping shots

Thanks for doing a video on Tanti. I think he's one of the most underrated players in Canucks history. Could you do a career video on another Canuck I find be underrated, Petri Skriko?

Others wanted: Rick Vaive, Tony Mckegney, Tom Lysiak, Ron Greschner, Chico Resch.

Tony tanti is my dad thank you for the tribute we appreciate it

Hei Shannon! Thanks for great channel and content! You should do career video about Petri Skriko! He was pretty good player on that pretty miserable 80's Canucks. All the best for your family from Finland!

The goals assists and ponts totals shown at the bottom are only counting his Canuck seasons. W/Canucks 531GP 250G 220A 470P NHL Totals 697GP 297G 273A 560P

The Canucks always had good players. They just weren’t superstars and they practically had to do it all on their own. The Sedins had the same problem for much of their careers. They’d just stick them with a bottom 6, overachieving grinder and they’d turn that player into a superstar if they could get to the net and take a pounding with their stick on the ice. If you look at the drafts, it was just miss after miss for decades, so guys had to brought in via trade, and just the fact that they were available tells you that the Canucks weren’t bringing in people who were expected to do much. When I look at Tanti, Sundstrom, Gradin and others, I think of what could have been if they played with linemates of their caliber. And that starts at the draft. How many top 10 goal or point getters have the Canucks actually drafted? It’s a pretty short list.

Not many hockey players can say they destroyed a Wayne Gretzky record. He set the rookie goal scoring record in the OHL with 81 goals shattering Gretzky's 70 goals.

Saw Tanti playing in Berlin in the 90‘s Great player here in Germany

Enjoy the concert and Cali, Shannon and Yvonne!! 😊

I remember the 1983-84 season when Tanti had 25 goals after 31 games and was well on his way to probably a 60 goal season but faded in the second half and ended up with 45 goals.

The Maltese Falcon. My favorite player. Made me proud to be Maltese too

Do Harold Snepsts

Shannon m'lord, I know you're in Vegas, but he had 560 points in his career.

His first year in Pittsburgh he put up 32 points in 37 games. But then the Penguins added Joey Mullen and Jagr for a team that already had Mark Recchi and Rob Brown at right wing. So he was on the 3rd or 4th line and get almost no power play time, caused his numbers to drop.

He played for the St Michael's Buzzers...Junior B, when I was attending St Mike's high school. I thought that name sounded familiar.

Could you do a Tiger Williams career video next?

Huh. A reliable 40 goal scorer that I had never heard of. Granted, he was a bit before my time, but still!

Kinda depressing how badly the Canucks sucked for a decade. But a player like Tanti helped you hope for greener pastures. I remember the 45-goal season well!

Besides my Avs, that Canucks jersey and the North stars jersey are my favorite designs 😏

Those 4-5 yrs really stick out. Then a big fade. Played a hard nose game, kinda like a cross between martin St Louis and Garry Howatt.

Nice jersey!

He plays for Berlin which I was born 94 the folded he now lives back in Vancouver they have asked him in the ring of honour he said no

Do one of Dino ciccarelli

Joel Ward career video please

Toni Tanti wore Jheri Curls better than any other white dude I have seen to date.

A name i have not heard in a long long time....

Wow...this is out of the blue. What made you choose Tanti?

Penguins knew Dan Quinn was damaged goods when they dumped him on you. Luckily for y'all the blues we're dealing. That trade you glossed over? 4 for 2. Geoff Courtnall, Cliff Ronning, Sergio Momesso, some sad defenseman. FOR??? Dan Quinn and Garth Butcher. YOU'RE STILL WELCOME!

Could I have had a Tony Tanti card with St. Louis Blues garb for the 1993 Leaf cardset?

Btw u should do the career of gerard. gallant.

Maltese Legend

Hey I’m Tony Tantis son Taylor tanti would love to talk to you!! Been a fan for a while

Wasn't he traded for cam Neely? Wow this brings me back 30 something years.

Another case of great player on a cursed team.

He didn’t make the all star game aswell because he closed his car door on his finger and busted his finger

Still no Keith Tkachuk.

Tanti had 560p... Not 470 😂😂😂
