Sharks defend ex-teammates ensnared in Senators-Uber scandal

DALLAS — The reputations of two former-Sharks took a major hit this week when they got entangled in a scandal involving team gossip toward an assistant coach on the Ottawa Senators during an Uber ride in Phoenix.

Pete DeBoer, who coached Chris Tierney and Dylan DeMelo during his first three years behind the Sharks bench, vouched for the character of both players.

Another scandal reared its head in Ottawa this week when a video from an Uber dashboard camera surfaced online, capturing a conversation among seven Senators teammates as they mocked assistant coach Marty Raymond and the team’s 28th ranked penalty kill.
