Chris Tierney scored twice last night to bring his season total to six and his point total to 15. Neither pop off the page, but neither need to. Tierney’s role on the Sharks is that of a fourth line center; or at least, that’s what it should be. But thanks in part to head coach Pete DeBoer’s insistence and Tomas Hertl’s injury, Tierney has played as the third line center most of the season.
So when Tierney got his brace last night a fair share of “finallys” splashed onto the Twittersphere. Responding to criticism of a player is, generally, tacky.
