New York Falls Three Behind

What was expected, just head to head games made it unavoidable. Now the games in hand for other teams have been played.

Now What For New York?

More practices, more interviews, some scoreboard watching as NY will likely continue to lose ground. Reality is forget 7th seed because Pens almost clinched it, as New York cannot catch Boston for the 7th seed. So it's third, eighth or no playoffs.
The Flyers called up Martone, and he scored a GWG, Chicago called up their prospect, and his point won a one-goal game here. New York has Victor Eklund, who's producing for Bridgeport, and was not here Monday for practice?
When they play Thursday they are in must-win territory vs Toronto, if this happens then they control some destiny vs Ottawa on Saturday. Carolina/Montreal will come here with likely nothing to play for. And then we'll see.
What will Peter Deboer do? Hard to know, did Roy's strategy hold back the scoring, likely not, were they a great defensive team? No, because forwards were not good defensively. They are overloaded with centers playing wing, have no flexibility on D with injuries.

Darche/Deboer

A lot of stock answers, liked Roy/friend for life, team needed to play better.
DeBoer is at practice, many players not attending/maintance.
New York needed Dallas permission to hire Deboer being that they are still paying him. No assistant coaching changes for rest of season.
Deboer's contract is for this season plus three more years/not four. Same term as Darche.

DeBoer Speaks: Two weeks ago

Patrick Roy Out As Head Coach/Peter DeBoer In/Four Year Contract

Stunner, this is Darche's team, his player acquisitions, his failures. I'm glad Roy is out but this was a team that was not good but somehow managed to get to get to fifteen over despite all the games with two goals or less, with a terrible powerplay. I almost feel like Malkin called Lou, and he made these decisions. I felt they were coming out of it in the third against Carolina, and without Bussi's save on that one timer they get to overtime. Deboer has come and gone a lot, they got an outside name coach who will have four games to get them in the playoffs. No doubt they will be outside the playoffs by Thursday when the other teams play their games in hand. If Darche really felt this way he had a lot of time to make a change before this. Stunner.
