Journeyman Brandon Tanev currently plays for the Utah Mammoth, where he contributes not only with his experience but also with some elite-level chirping. In a recent game against the Boston Bruins, Tanev was caught on mic delivering what might be the chirp of the season so far.
After going undrafted, Brandon Tanev signed with the Winnipeg Jets in 2016. Since then, he has suited up for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Seattle Kraken, the Jets again, and now the Utah Mammoth.

Brings experience
In addition to having some of the best headshots in the league, Tanev brings plenty of experience to the Mammoth roster. While he hasn’t made much noise on the scoresheet — just one assist in six games — he’s certainly making his presence felt with his mouth.
Brandon Tanev with great chirp
During the Mammoth’s latest game against the Boston Bruins, Tanev was caught on mic hilariously chirping a Bruins player:
“You’ll be out of this league in f*cking ten games!”
The commentators loved it.
“Tanev is chirping. Attack mindset in the third period — you always want to attack,” one of them said.
Next up, the Mammoth will face the Colorado Avalanche at home.
You can watch the chirp below.
