"Mathieu Darche stated, 'It's never one game, it's never one moment. You're evaluating the team throughout the year. I just felt the last little bit here, we weren't as sharp.'"
"'Guys like Pete DeBoer don't stay on the market very long,' Darche said. 'And his pedigree, he went to five of the last six conference finals.'"
"'The hope is that DeBoer provides lightning in a bottle. He led the Devils and Sharks to the Stanley Cup Final in his first season with each team.'"
Mathieu Darche, the New York Islanders general manager, has fired head coach Patrick Roy and hired Pete DeBoer to salvage the season. The Islanders are currently on a four-game losing streak and are struggling to secure a playoff spot. Darche noted that the team had not been performing well recently and felt a change was necessary. DeBoer has a strong track record, having led multiple teams to the Stanley Cup Final and conference finals, and is expected to bring immediate improvement.
