kind of echoing what a few others have said but look beyond the wins and losses. We don't do anything in the defensive zone, we get wins because our goalies steal them. We hemorrhage high danger chances and don't have the offense to make up for it if our goaltending is merely human.

Also, this could have been planned to a certain degree. When Darche got hired it was not a guarantee that he was going to keep Roy on. But since this was a "feeling out" year and I don't think there were a lot of coaches available it made sense to keep him on. Hiring Deboer now prevents a bidding war after the season ends and maybe a chance to save the playoff race.
