Long Island native Marshall Warren — who once skated in the Islanders’ junior program at IceWorks — will make his NHL debut for his hometown team against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.
Interesting take by Stefen on the organizational message the firing of the Goaltender Coach may have had. This team played the best game in years against the Red Wings. Of course it’s not all based on this change, but it sends a message. Darche isn’t married to anyone on this team, and is assessing as we go. The Game the other night was pure joy to watch!!!!!!!!! It was tangibly different, there was no hope involved in that one just determination.
"I don't think Noah Dobson is a defenseman who doesn't know how to defend," explained Darche. "He's an excellent hockey player. It's just that I had a certain price, that's all." - Mathieu Darche
This statement is spot on Dobson doesn’t defend the net front, and he is devoid of physicality. Opponents are very comfortable around him. Darche tried to deflect, but the narrative that Dobson is a bad defender is totally accurate.
