Bang in the
NHL: The
New York Islanders
have their head coach in the middle of the season finish
Patrick Roy fired, even though the team is currently still in a playoff spot.
Decision in a sensitive phase
There are only four games left in the regular season and the Islanders are fighting for the postseason. Nevertheless, management pulled the ripcord. A negative series with four defeats in a row and the increasing pressure from the competition ultimately tipped the scales.
The starting position is deceptive: New York is currently still in the top three of the division, but several pursuers are breathing down their necks with the same number of points – some with fewer games played.
DeBoer takes over immediately
With
Peter DeBoer An experienced successor was immediately presented. The 57-year-old is considered a coach who can make a short-term impact and has already led several teams deep into the playoffs.
However, there is hardly any time left for DeBoer: the crucial phase of the season is already underway, and every point can decide whether he will participate in the playoffs or an early exit.
Attack on the playoffs
The change of coach is a clear signal from the club management: They don’t want to give away the season. Rather, a new impulse should wake up the team in good time.
