Player Discussion Chris Tierney (C)

[AchtzehnBaby]

I would rather watch Kelly play than continue to watch Tierney. Kelly really hustles and hits. Tierney slowly skates up and down the ice and never hits anyone. I think the fact that he was not traded at the TDL reflects that he has limited to no future value. I fear what Dorion is going to do with him.

Part of the Karlsson trade was to play Tierney until he is 43.

Can you please be our GM?

lol thanks but I wouldn't be qualified for the job. I also haven't worked in the hockey field and I believe you need a lot of experience before reaching that position. Dorion has been a scout since 1994 so he became a GM 22 years later. So experience is not the problem with him, it's more that maybe he should have capped before. And there's nothing wrong with that, not a lot of people are going to be good at this executive level.

No… I don’t think it was.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Bye buy bye

 

[Icelevel]

Not a terrible idea. If he can turn it around then he can help them with some depth options. Otherwise ahl

Can't think of a more frustrating player in recent memory. His first year here, he seemed like a solid centre who can play anywhere throughout the lineup. Over the last two years, he just seemed like he didn't care, especially during a contract year. Dude has no motor and I hope he turns it around for himself

My Grandma would break him into 345 pieces with a clean hit
Never seen a player so afraid of physical contact
His wife must....

Right after we traded pageau and he essentially moved into his role, there were a few games where he actually looked better than jgp. That didn’t last long though. He became totally useless. Again, hope he can get it back.

I think he was another guy that covid didn’t sit well with him.

Never liked his play, he's like an anti-hockey player. When you need to hussle for the puck, he wont. When you have a good opportunity to hit an opposing player, he won't. His fundamentals are good, but he's such an uninspiring player to watch on the ice.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

It's like he knows what to do and where to be and then decides he doesn't want to do whatever he knows he should.

Edit: By the end I felt like he was treating NHL games like he was a retired player in a celebrity game.

 

[Sun God Nika]

I regularly forgot this guy was even in the line up. Don't care if he "figures it out" or not. He has already made multi millions playing a game for a living.

 

[Xspyrit]

I'll miss Chris a bit because of how much he reminds me of that guy :

 

[umma gumma]

Chris Tierney has to be among the all-time leaders in goals scored without using a stick.

 

[DJB]

Interestingly did a call on “Chris Tierney private” in Ottawa yesterday.

Fittingly it was the street name for a dumpy trailer park lol

 

[SpezDispenser]

He sucked towards the end, so....so badly. Be quite gone.

Chris "The Cobra" Tierney's high octane physical play, fiery attitude, and commanding leadership will be sorely missed really hoping this DeBrincat guy's goals can make up for some of it

What a wiki page! Did you know George Vezina's nickname was the "Chicoutimi Cucumber"?

 

[Cosmix]

Great read of nicknames.

I recall a few that they missed:
Gary "Suitcase" Smith
Teemu Selanne - Salamy
Gordie Howe - Elbows

 

[Xspyrit]

I am personally offended that they are not building a statue outside of the CTC for Chris

We missed getting Tierney again?!?

FIRE DORION

Montreal tanking hard. Poor Chris from Miami to Montreal.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Now that's a name I haven't heard for a long time. A long time....

 

[Ice-Tray]

Looks like Montreal is using our tank guys for their tank lol.
